Proton adds zoom functionality to its 4K minicam and will showcase full product line-up enhancements at Hamburg Open

Proton, developers of ultra-miniaturised cameras, including the world’s smallest broadcast-grade camera, the Proton Cam, will use their presence at Hamburg Open (Hall B6, Stand 419) to showcase three new feature developments that further expand the creative and operational flexibility of its camera range.

First among the new developments is the evolution of Proton’s 4K camera into the Proton 4K Zoom. By introducing zoom functionality to the compact 4K model, Proton 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 new way to refine composition while preserving the immersive image quality.

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 up 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.

These new capabilities will be shown alongside Proton’s recently announced pan, tilt and crop feature, which enables resolution-perfect reframing within the image, as well as the wider Proton lineup. This includes the flagship Proton Cam, Proton Flex and 4K Flex, Proton Rain for extreme conditions, Proton Zoom, and the high-speed Proton HFR.
