What has changed is almost everything around that core.

At IBC 2026, CineD returned to the BOSMA VEGA H2 for a second conversation with Franklin Zeng, following the camera’s first in-depth interview at Cine Gear 2026.

The core of the VEGA H2 remains unchanged: a 6K full-frame imaging platform built around BOSMA’s patented HVS (Horizontal & Vertical Switching) system, together with ToF-based autofocus for manual cinema lenses and an integrated optical variable ND system.

The camera shown at IBC 2026 is no longer simply a prototype. It is moving toward production.

Updated Through Feedback

FIRST INTERVIEW

First Look at Cine Gear 2026


At Cine Gear 2026, the VEGA H2 was introduced with its core innovations: a 6K full-frame sensor, patented HVS system, ToF autofocus, and integrated optical variable ND.

WHAT'S NEW

What’s new at IBC 2026?


Since Cine Gear 2026, BOSMA has made several updates based on feedback from NAB, Cine Gear, and other industry shows.

  • New magnesium-alloy housing
  • Locking PL mount
  • Expanded ToF autofocus
  • New 4.5" 1,000-nit monitor
  • Dual SD or CFexpress Type B options
  • External RAW support in development
  • BOSMA Log in development
  • B4 optical mount in development

LIGHTER BODY

Why switch to magnesium alloy?


The new magnesium-alloy housing is designed to be lighter and stronger.

The current weight is approximately 2.2kg / 4.9 lb, making it easier handling for handheld, shoulder-mounted, and gimbal shooting.

SECURE MOUNT

What changed on the PL mount?


We added a locking mechanism to make the lens mount more secure.

It helps prevent the lens from coming loose, and provides added security while the HVS imaging system rotates.

SMARTER AF

How has the autofocus improved?


The ToF-based autofocus system now goes beyond a single focus point.

  • New area-based autofocus.
  • Focuses across a wider area of the frame
  • Works with manual cinema lenses through the focus motor
  • Designed to give solo operators more flexibility

BRIGHTER MONITOR

What’s new about the monitor?


The new monitor is 4.5 inches and reaches 1,000 nits, with improved brightness and color compared with the previous version.
 
The goal is straightforward: better visibility when shooting outdoors in bright daylight, without depending on an external monitor.

FLEXIBLE MEDIA

What recording options will be available?


The VEGA H2 will come in two recording-media versions. Buyers choose the media type when they order rather than switching between the two on the same body.

  • Dual SD version
  • CFexpress Type B version (supports higher-bitrate recording workflows)
  • Internal recording: H.264, H.265, and ProRes 422

B4 READY

What is the B4 mount for?


BOSMA is developing an optical B4 mount for broadcast applications.

  • Designed for existing B4 broadcast lenses
  • Replaces the PL mount
  • Uses a Super 35 image area on the full-frame sensor
  • Can be purchased separately and changed by the user
  • Estimated price: $3,000~$4,000

This gives broadcast users a potential way to bring existing B4 lenses into the VEGA H2 system.

LAUNCH UPDATE

When will VEGA H2 be available?


The VEGA H2 is currently in mass production.

  • Target launch: October 2026
  • Expected price: Below $5,000, most likely around $4,500
  • Final pricing will be confirmed at launch
  • Available online
  • European distribution is also being developed

Refined for the Real World

Lighter. Stronger.

The VEGA H2 now features a magnesium-alloy housing for a lighter, stronger body, built for easier handling across handheld, shoulder, and gimbal setups.

Secure Through Every Rotation

A reinforced PL-mount locking system keeps the lens securely in place while the HVS imaging system rotates, adding confidence to every horizontal-to-vertical transition.

Focus Beyond the Single Point

The updated ToF autofocus now supports area-based focusing, allowing the system to track subjects across a wider part of the frame for a more flexible shooting experience.

Pro I/O & Networking

12G-SDI, HDMI, timecode, dual XLR with phantom power, and multiple USB-C ports for top handle and FIZ motor control.

A 4.5-inch touchscreen with a 1.54-inch side display for quick monitoring and control.

Full network connectivity enables reliable multi-camera sync for streamlined multi-cam production.

Thank you to CineD for returning to the VEGA H2 at IBC 2026 and taking the time to explore how the camera has evolved since its first introduction at Cine Gear. We appreciate the opportunity to share the latest developments and the ideas behind them with the global filmmaking community.

The VEGA H2 has evolved through conversations with the people who will use it. Feedback from NAB, Cine Gear, IBC, and industry events in China has helped shape the camera from its physical design to focus, monitoring, recording, and workflow.

We listened. We refined. Now, VEGA H2 is getting ready for the next step.

Coming in early October 2026.
