Aatonomics
In keeping in line with the budget-conscious nature of 16 and
Super16 production, Aaton offers three camera models - X0plus,
XTRplus and XTRprod.
Each model is equipped with features specifically geared for certain
levels of production in order to help the user balance cost with his
or her particular needs.
All camera models are built of the same mechanical construction
and are identical with regards to size and weight, speed range,
image steadiness, noise level and durability. Keep in mind that the
differences between models is limited strictly to camera features.
The XTRprod is Aaton’s high-end model and is designed to offer
features such as Super16, AatonCode, internal lightmeter and
integrated CCD assist combined with new, state-of-the-art studio
features such as Aatonite illuminated viewing system, built-in
crystal speed control in .001 increments, multi-position shutter, a
full function illuminated LCD control panel and quick setting jog
wheel.
