Hardly seems like it made a dent... 600 and 1200fps slow them down significantly and still the amount of motion is surprising.. Thanks for stopping by! =)

It's like they have a built-in gyroscope for flight stability :-)  Thanks for checking it out!

It's lovely to see this little bird slowed down so we can appreciate it. Thank you.

These slow motion clips never cease to fascinate me as well :-) Thanks for watching them!

Nice video. But im still not convinced they flap their wings 90 times per second.

[JcmdiStockFootage]

That's a good point. Wing-beat rates can be a little unclear. Most average-sized hummers like the one shown here, flap at about 30 full cycles per second. I define a full cycle as one stroke forward followed by one stroke back, which may be counted as 1 or 2 "flaps" depending on how you measure it. The Cuban "Bee Hummingbird" is the world's smallest hummer (and bird), and is said to have a 90-100 bps wing speed, which may be more like 45-50 full cycles - a much more reasonable speed. :-)
