Since 2017, the Chinese camera manufacturer Kinefinity has released three cinema cameras: TERRA 4K, MAVO, and MAVO LF. In their price segment, they offer very interesting features and many filmmakers who tested them, are satisfied with their image quality. You can take a look at our Kinefinity MAVO LF hands-on here.

As Kinefinity states, they put a lot of effort into optimizing the supply chain and production process to provide customers with more reliable and more affordable products. That’s why the company is now adjusting its product lineup. Starting today, Kinefinity cameras are listed at a new price and they offer more efficient accessory package options.

Kinefinity Price Adjustment


According to Kinefinity, the reason for price drops are improvements in the optimization of the supply chain and production processes. They are dropping prices of all three existing camera models. The following prices are for the body only.

Kinefinity TERRA 4K Firmware Update


We have already seen a major firmware update for the Kinefinity TERRA 4K back in April 2019, which increased maximum framerates in both 4K and 2K video resolutions.

Now, the Kinefinity TERRA 4K cinema camera will see ProRes4444 and ProRes4444XQ encoding added to its recording options. This feature is coming to all TERRA 4K cameras via a free firmware update. No hardware changes are required. The firmware is expected to be available in April 2020.
