Proton has expanded the creative and operational flexibility of its camera range with three new feature developments.
First among the new developments is the evolution of Proton’s 4K camera into the Proton 4K Zoom. By introducing zoom functionality to its compact 4K model, Proton significantly increases the camera’s versatility, allowing operators to adjust framing and emphasis without changing lenses or camera positions.
For productions working in confined spaces with limited accessibility, this provides a powerful new way to refine composition while preserving the immersive image quality that defines Proton’s 4K offering.
Proton is also expanding lens compatibility across the range with the addition of C-mount options, complementing the existing S-mount ecosystem. This gives users access to a broader selection of lenses, opening greater control over depth of field, focal length and visual character. The result is enhanced creative choice, particularly for productions that wish to match Proton cameras more closely with other systems on a shoot, or to experiment with distinctive visual styles.
The third feature focuses on deployment flexibility and robustness. Proton cameras will now be available also with connector-based cable interfaces, rather than permanently fixed connections. This approach allows users to tailor cabling to specific installations, simplifies replacement or reconfiguration, while enabling more confident placement in challenging environments.
Marko Höpken, CEO, Proton, said, “Each of these developments is about giving our users more freedom — creatively, technically and operationally — while staying true to the compact, purpose-built nature of Proton cameras.
“By expanding zoom capability, lens choice and deployment flexibility, we’re pushing ever further in crafting a camera range which doesn’t just meet the realities of modern production, but actually pushes the boundaries of creative potential, all without adding complexity or compromising image quality”.
