Player One APOLLO-M MAX PRO Mono (SKU: POA-APOLLO-M-MAX-PRO) is a flagship global shutter mono camera, optimized for imaging the Sun, Moon, and planets in full 1.1″ resolution. At the heart of the camera is the Sony IMX432 mono sensor (global shutter, 9 µm), providing extremely low readout noise, high QE (~85%) and no "jelly" artifacts. The MAX PRO version has received a new PCS 2.0 body with a larger radiator, 256 MB DDR-III buffer and a USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C connector enabling transfers up to 400 MiB / s without dropped frames.

Key Features of APOLLO-M MAX PRO

• Sony IMX432 mono 1.1″ matrix – 1608 × 1104 px (1.78 Mpx), pixel size 9 µm
• global shutter – no distortions when scanning the sun's disc quickly
• speed: up to 98 fps in full frame, 300+ fps at ROI 640 × 480
• 12-bit ADC with HCG mode – read noise < 2 e- at gain ≥ 80
• 256 MB DDR-III buffer – smooth bursts without dropped frames
• PCS 2.0 body with radiator and quiet MagLev fan (optional ACS) – sensor temperature ≤ 7 °C above ambient
• fast USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 connector + autoguider ST-4 (RJ-12) socket

Apollo-M MAX PRO is the perfect choice for enthusiasts of high-resolution solar photography (H-α, Ca-K, WL) and fast, global-shutter shots of the Moon and planets. The large 9 µm pixel provides comfortable sampling with longer focal lengths, and the global shutter eliminates "rolling" artifacts. Extended PRO electronics and PCS 2.0 radiator guarantee stable recording even on hot, windless days.
