Anne Curtis, BJ Pascual ride rollercoaster shot on vivo X300 Ultra

Capturing a great shot is one thing. Capturing one while your subjects are speeding through a rollercoaster at up to 97 kilometers per hour is another.

Anne and BJ took on the TRON Lightcycle Power Run at Shanghai Disneyland, one of Disneyland’s fastest and most futuristic attractions.

At the heart of the action, the vivo X300 Ultra's 200MP 85mm ZEISS Gimbal-Grade APO Telephoto Camera brought the duo closer into frame, capturing their expressions and reactions as the ride raced through its futuristic track.

https://www.tiktok.com/@vivo_philippines/video/7673361440908135698

Taken at 85mm, f/2.67, 1/200s, ISO 50, the shot showcases the vivo X300 Ultra's dedicated telephoto camera in a challenging, fast-moving environment. Its 3° Gimbal-Grade OIS and 60 fps AF Tracking are designed to help keep moving subjects steady and in focus, making it possible to capture the rush of the ride while keeping Anne and BJ at the center of the frame.

The result goes beyond simply documenting a rollercoaster ride. At 85mm, Anne and BJ's expressions become the story, the laughter, adrenaline, and split-second reactions captured as they hurtle through one of Shanghai Disneyland's most thrilling attractions.

At 97 km/h, there is no time to stop, pose, or ask for another take. The moment happens once, and the camera has to be ready for it. 

With its 200MP telephoto camera, high-speed AF tracking, and gimbal-grade stabilization, the vivo X300 Ultra is built to bring fast-moving subjects closer while keeping the action in sight.

The best moments sometimes happen from a distance, at full speed, and without warning. With the vivo X300 Ultra, you can zoom in and keep the excitement in frame.

The vivo X300 Ultra is available for Php 109,999 at vivo Concept Stores nationwide and through the vivo e-store.
