Presented workinvestigates and analyses dynamic contact of droplet at super-hydrophobic surfaces with a regular first order structure.Two silicon surfaces are investigated, differ only inthe nanostructure. Test stand equipped with fast camera and in-house software eligible to obtain repetability and knowledge about the physical parameters of droplets. Droplet impact were carried for different experimental cases.The crucial quantities - contact angle and maximal diameter of droplet, are obtained.Dynamic contact angle change have been confirmed. Modifications of the nanostructure in that surfaces, influence dropletimpact
