AATON Minima S16
The Aaton Minima is a compact 16 mm film camera designed for fast, mobile shooting. Built around a lightweight body with Aaton’s ergonomic handgrip layout, it delivers a stable, quiet image and a clean Super 16 frame. The camera uses a simple magazine system with 200-ft loads, making it practical for documentary work, handheld setups and situations where a small film package is an advantage.
Its straightforward operation, reliable transport and minimal footprint allow for quick setups on tight sets or run-and-gun environments. The Minima is well suited for directors and cinematographers looking for a modern-feeling Super 16 workflow with the classic texture of Kodak or Fuji stocks.
