Joshua Echevarria Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Hey been looking into an Aaton s16 camera but I'm a bit confused about the differences between the various models. I can't seem to find any clear cut answers anywhere. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Stephen Perera Posted September 14, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted September 14, 2017 add to that list the Aaton XTR XC which is an XTR without any electronics which is what I have.....serial number 1599...according to Allan Giles in the UK (service guru) it was produced as like a back up for when you're out there in the middle of the jungle filming and your electronics on the other Aaton give up.....mine is a regular 16 as previous owners swapped out the S16 capabilities.....well documented on this forum hahah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
