ATON A-MINIMA Super-16mm Camera

The concept was simply to design and build a small, ergonomic, low cost, next generation camera to meet the demanding requirements of HDTV and film markets. Aaton achieved this by making the A-MINIMA. Because there is no mini HD video camcorder, video users‘ creativity, speed and flexibility becomes limited with only huge, bulky and heavy HD camcorders available. The A-MINIMA complements the cinematographer' s tool set with a very compact HD capture device. For film user, A-MINIMA' s size and weight work to increase production speed and creative options, all integrated through AatonCode.

The Aaton A-MINIMA is a modular camera system that exploits every design option for handheld shooting. You can break it down to its basic compact size, with on-board batteries and a compact zoom or prime, and be shooting with a light (approx 2kg ex lens), unobtrusive camera for those situations where you need to be agile or almost invisible. Likewise, the A-MINIMA can be built up to production mode with all the accessories that fit a 15mm lightweight support system.
