Camera Overview — Kinefinity MAVO

The Kinefinity MAVO is a full-frame cinema camera built around the MAVO Edge Platform image processor and a full-frame 35mm sensor capable of capturing up to 8192 x 5456 pixels. Designed for professional production work, it records up to 8K video with 12-bit RAW or 10-bit ProRes output, and supports a wide range of frame rates from 24fps up to 240fps — giving shooters flexibility across narrative, commercial, and high-speed work. The camera ships with a PL Mount as standard, making it immediately compatible with a broad range of cinema lenses.

Its native ISO range runs from 320 to 20480, offering latitude in both controlled and challenging lighting environments. The body is machined from aluminum alloy, measures 117 x 110 x 95 mm, and weighs just 1.35 kg, making it relatively compact for a cinema-class camera. Dust-resistant construction adds a layer of durability on set.

The MAVO records to SSD media and offers full HDMI output alongside USB-C and USB connectivity. Audio inputs include a 3.5mm headphone jack and a 3.5mm microphone jack, with XLR supported via adapter. Wi-Fi is built in.

Monitoring and viewfinder are handled externally via optional KineMON and KineEVF accessories. Color science options include KineLOG3, Kine709, KineColor, and User LUT.
