Camera Overview — Kinefinity MAVO mark2 S35

The Kinefinity MAVO mark2 S35 is a Super 35 digital cinema camera built around a 6K sensor with an effective resolution of 6144 x 4016 pixels in 3:2 Open Gate mode. It targets professional cinematographers who demand high-resolution capture and flexible frame rate options in a relatively compact, lightweight body. The camera records at up to 6K resolution with frame rates reaching 96fps, and supports 12-bit color depth, making it a capable tool for high-end narrative and commercial production work.

Color science is handled through KineLOG3, Rec.709, and Custom LUTs, giving colorists meaningful latitude in post-production. The native ISO range runs from 800 to 3200, and the camera stores footage to SSD media. The body is constructed from aluminum alloy and weighs just 1.35kg, with dimensions of approximately 117 x 110 x 95mm — a compact footprint for a cinema camera at this resolution tier.

It uses a PL Mount for lens compatibility and relies on Sony BP-U series batteries. Audio connectivity includes a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack and a 3.5mm stereo microphone input, with XLR support available via adapter. There is no built-in image stabilization, no built-in LCD, and no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.

Monitoring is handled via an optional OLED EVF or external monitor connected through SDI.
