Obviously not fast enough if you are interested in stopping the wings, but you know that. Good demo however of how fast they actually beat. Thanks for posting. You must have quite a setup in your back yard. Maybe you could share that with us some day. I know some people put in a lot of effort in they feeder setups to try to best shots possible.
I'll attach an informative PDF describing how to stop them but it involves multiple flashes with their output reduced -- making them fire much faster than 1/8000 to stop the wings.
My issue is that I don't want to invest in more strobes and tripods. I used to be a photo gear junkie and don't want to become a repeat offender.
