Pocket cinema · 6K · Super 35

A cinema
in your palm

Fifteen stops of dynamic range, a ƒ/1.2 lens and true film-grade color — in a body that disappears into one hand. Shoot the look, not the rig.

Why VANTA

Built to outshoot rigs ten times its size

01

6K Super 35

A 24.6MP Super 35 sensor reads out at full 6K/30 and oversamples to a clean, detailed 4K. Open gate when you need every pixel.

02

15 stops of range

Dual native ISO and a 15-stop curve hold highlight roll-off and shadow detail in the same frame — graded or straight out of camera.

03

ƒ/1.2 cine glass

A fast 28mm-equivalent prime with smooth 11-blade bokeh and in-body stabilization, so handheld looks intentional, not shaky.

04

RAW to ProRes

Record 12-bit RAW or ProRes straight to a CFexpress card, or stream a clean 6K feed over the USB-C port. No proxies, no transcode.

In the field

Goes where the crew can't

Pocketable between setups, ready before the light changes. VANTA rides a gimbal, slips into a drone cage, or just lives in your jacket — so the shot you'd have missed is the one you keep.

Questions

Before you reserve

When does VANTA ship?

First-run units leave the line in Q1. You'll get a confirmed ship window by email before any charge clears.

Is the pre-order charged now?

No. Reserving places a fully refundable hold. Your card is only charged when your unit is built and ready to ship.

Can I use my existing lenses?

Yes. The active mount takes electronic EF and E adapters with full aperture and autofocus control, alongside the built-in ƒ/1.2 prime.

What's in the box?

The body, the ƒ/1.2 prime, one battery, a charger and a CFexpress card. The Director's Kit adds a cage, top handle and extra storage.

Is there a warranty?

Every VANTA ships with a 2-year limited warranty and a 30-day return window once you have the camera in hand.
