BOSMA VEGA H2 rotates sensor and mount to shoot native vertical at full 6K

BOSMA's VEGA H2 packs a full-frame 6K sensor, built-in variable ND, and a patented orientation-switching system into a modular $4,999 body aimed at solo documentary and content creators.

One of the more interesting cameras to emerge from the periphery at NAB is now confirmed for a mid-July launch. The BOSMA VEGA H2 is a 6K full-frame cinema camera built around an all-in-one solo production philosophy. It combines a 24.5MP full-frame CMOS sensor with integrated autofocus, ND filtration, and — and this is the kicker —orientation-switching in a single modular body.

Flippin' marvellous

It’s aimed firmly at run-and-gun documentary, live streaming, and short-form narrative work. The headline feature is Bosma's patented HVS (Horizontal Vertical Switching) system, which rotates both the sensor and the lens mount in sync to allow users to flip between landscape and portrait orientations.

That seems technically and operationally a smart choice. It will provide full pixel-capture with no sensor cropping, maintaining image quality on the one hand, while Bosma also says that the UI switches instantly, allowing users to shoot natively in vertical. Given the sheer momentum behind vertical video at the moment, that could well be a popular feature. Open Gate recording at 30p supports post-production reframing for either format.

The full spec is below, but a brief summary is that the VEGA H2 records 6K Open Gate at up to 29.97p and 6K 2.39:1 at up to 59.94p. A 4K full-frame mode is available, along with a 4K S35 crop at up to 59.94p and HD slow-motion at up to 160 fps. Codec options span H.264, H.265, ALL-Intra variants of both, and ProRes 422HQ / 422 / 422LT, with a maximum bitrate of 600 Mbps in 12-bit. Color science covers REC.709, Log, and HLG. Dynamic range is rated at 14+ stops, while it has a dual native ISO of 800 and 5000. ISO is adjustable from 200 to a maximum of 12,800.

Modular design

The modular design also looks interesting. This supports interchangeable handles, EVFs, and audio modules, allowing it to swiftly adapt to different production needs. A detachable handle would help with transitions between handheld, shoulder-mounted, or gimbal setups.

Autofocus uses a ToF (time-of-flight) hybrid system capable of tracking subjects up to 50 m (164 ft), syncing sensor AF with external lens drive control for real-time automation of focus, zoom, and aperture on both AF and manual lenses. Lens data presets can be saved for recovery after a lens swap. A built-in F.I.Z. motor system is also included, and optional EVFs are supported.

An integrated OVND (Optical Variable ND) filter is also a neat addition, and covers 0.3–2.4 stops (though this is compatible with PL and EF mounts only).

Mount options and more

The camera comes with a standard PL-mount which can be changed out for separately available EF or M mounts to expand the lens ecosystem. However, changing the lens mount requires interaction with Bosma technical support, though we are not certain precisely how involved the process is as yet.

The monitor is a detachable 4.5-inch LCD TFT touchscreen with approximately 6.22 million dots. The camera also features a side panel 1.54-inch LCD IPS touchscreen to handle secondary status display. Power is via BP-U battery slot or a 4-pin LEMO-type DC input at 12–16.8 V; draw is rated at 30 W maximum. A BP-U to V-mount adapter is available separately.

I/O includes 12G-SDI and 3G-SDI, HDMI, two XLR inputs with phantom power, a 3.5mm stereo input, timecode, genlock, and USB-C ports for FIZ motor control and that top-handle communication. Networking covers LAN (RJ45) and WiFi for multi-camera sync.

Recording is to dual UHS-I SD card slots, with external SSD support via USB 3.0 Type-C.

The body weighs ≤ 1.5 kg (3.3 lb), rising to ≤ 2.5 kg (5.5 lb) with accessories, with dimensions of 205 × 115 × 110 mm (8 × 4.5 × 4.3 in). Construction is aluminum alloy. Operating temperature is 0–40 °C (32–104 °F). The package includes the top handle, LCD screen, and OVND filter.

Pricing and availability 

The VEGA H2 is priced at $4999 and is expected to ship in July 2026. A priority waitlist is open at bosmausa.com.
