We went hands-on with the brand new Kinefinity Vista at Cine Gear 2026 to see if this compact powerhouse truly earns the title of "personal cinema camera." Sean Connley walks us through everything you need to know about this ultra-lightweight 6K open gate system.
Coming in at just 1.3 lbs for the body, the Vista is designed for working cinematographers who need a stealthy, low-profile rig without sacrificing image quality. From the innovative eND mount adapters to the incredibly efficient 7.5W power draw, this might be the ultimate B-cam or travel cinema rig.
