More details about the Apertus camera

A few months ago we told you about Apertus‘ new development, a modular 4K camera with open source software called Axiom.

Now, thanks to the publication of this graphic, new details about the design of its structure and operation have been revealed. In addition, it shows the difference with the rest of “conventional” cameras of this style due to the fact that each of its parts is replaceable.

The company wants to provide as much flexibility as possible so that users can adapt their camera to the shooting conditions and not the other way around. For example, the interchangeable lens mount will allow the use of PL, C-Mount, Leica M, Leica R, B4, Canon EF, Canon FD, F-Mount, Panavision and many more.

It will also be possible to change the optical filters (IR, low pass, etc.) and the image sensor, which will allow you to modify the diameter, resolution or even optimize the camera for s3D recordings.

Finally, they have stated that their intention is to make the lens mount base interchangeable, so that users can make their own mounts or directly purchase existing ones from a variety of sources.
