A-Minima accessories


When used in conjunction with the A-minima camera body, the Aaton small Power Base extends the camera functions without compromising its size, weight and ease of use. The power base is multi functional: as a tripod intermediary plate, it accepts a standard 15mm or 19mm sliding bridgeplate for building the camera system for studio work.

A lighter configuration is also possible using the two 15mm Aaton screw-in front rods attached to the power base by means of two 3/8" threaded inserts located at the front of the Power Base.

Both configurations can accept Arri, Chrosziel or other manufacturer's mattebox, follow-focus and support equipment The power base is also an electrical (fused) junction box between a remote 12V power source, the camera body and various accessories such as a zoom control device or lens capping shutter.

Using its BNC connector, the Power Base allows you to automatically synchronize the camera to a source signal such as one delivered by a computer/video monitor.

Finally a remote ON/OFF capability is offered when connecting an Aaton wooden handgrip to the power base Lemo 2 socket.

The A-Minima Top Handle has been designed to accommodate new ways of carrying, operating or mounting the camera.

Safely attached to the camera 3/8" top insert, the orientable Top Handle provides camera On/Off capability, LCD monitor mounting or an extra 3/8"insert to receive accessories such as french flags or assistant lights.

The On/Off cable delivered with the handle must be connected to the Lemo 6 socket located at the rear of the camera.

The 3/8" insert, located on front of the Top Handle can easily and safely hold accessories such as French flags, assistant lights, HF transmitters...

A ball & socket head can also be attached to the 3/8" insert, in order to use the Top Handle as a small LCD monitor holder.

Compact, lightweight and recellable, the 12V - 1.7 Ah A-minima Clip-On battery can run approximately 30 x 200ft magazines at 24 fps.

The NiMH technology is superior to NiCad : about twice the capacity in smaller cells, absence of memory effect eliminates the need to deplete the battery prior to recharging.

The Clip-On battery can be charged using the Aaton CHA-3 charger through a cable adaptor connecting the battery Molex connector to the CHA-3's XLR4 socket.
