Aaton A-Minima super 16mm camera weight, noise characteristics, and power requirements
19 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- The A-Minima is very light and may require additional weight on an EFP arm or practice cage to achieve proper balance.
- No noise issues were reported when the camera was used on productions.
- The camera can be powered using camera batteries rather than external power sources.
- The camera supports shooting at 48fps, which requires 24V power.
Depends on
- The discussion is based on limited production experience and does not provide detailed acoustic measurements.
- Audio monitoring was not a primary focus during the reported usage.
- The weight balance requirements may vary depending on the specific support equipment used.
