A-Minima Power Base
When used in conjunction with the A-minima camera body, the
Aaton small power base extends the camera functions.without com-
promising 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. This configuration can accept
Arri, Chrosziel or other manufacturer's mattebox, follow-focus and
support equipment designed for bridgeplate use.
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 font of the base.
This configuration can also accept Arri, Chrosziel or other manufac-
turer's mattebox follow-focus and support equipment
The power base is also an electrical (fused) junction box between a
remote 12 volts power source, the camera body and various acces-
sories such as a zoom control or lens capping shutter.
Using its BNC connector, the power base allows you to automatical-
ly 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.
