4.1 CAMERA CONFIGURATIONS
The AATON 35-III is designed to be easily converted between the follo-
wing two accessory configurations:
4.1.1 15mm Front Rods
The most versatile and popular configuration for accessorizing the
AATON 35-III, the universal 15mm screw-in front rod system can
instantly accept Aaton, Arri, Chrosziel, Petroff and other manufactu-
rers’ mattebox and follow focus system.
Utilizing the front rod system allows for quick conversion from tri-
pod to shoulder operating modes without the need for reconfigura-
tion.
Aaton manufactures 50mm and 120mm length rods that screw
directly into the front housing of the AATON 35-III under the lens
port.
The 15mm front rod system is recommended when standard size
lenses and accessories are to be used or when quick conversion bet-
ween tripod and handheld modes is necessary.
