800'

22-minute magazine.

After Super16 and Aatoncode, Aaton introduces another filmmaking innovation: the handheld 22-minute magazine. It too will become a classic.

Designed for unmodified XTR and XTRprod cameras, the 800' magazine features the unique Aaton twistless loop and hair-free loading path. Its patented take-up system totally eliminates dishing noise, requires less power, and makes for a quieter magazine.

Studio

less roll-out interruption on set
fewer film reports and less labelling
fewer short ends
more than ever, maintains film as the origination alternative to video.

Documentary

fewer mag changes in difficult locations
less equipment to carry
better chance to catch those magic moments that so often occur during a mag change.

The low power consumption of the 800' mag, coupled with the XTR prod motor efficiency and the miniature NiM 3 on-board battery, give documentary filmmakers an autonomy unmatched by any other system.

The 800' mag weighs just 3.5kg and retains the ergonomy and comfort of the 400' (2.2kg). Overall, balance is even better with front-heavy lenses and accessories.
