At Cine Gear 2026, Johnnie spoke with Franklin Zeng, owner and CEO of Bosma, about the Vega H2, a new 6K full-frame camera from a company that may be less familiar to many filmmakers but has a long background in optics.

Bosma has spent around 25 years working in areas such as binoculars, telescopes, laser rangefinders, and scopes. The company moved into camera development in 2018, including 8K broadcast camera work connected to major sporting events. With the Vega H2, Bosma is now aiming more directly at filmmakers, cinematographers, broadcasters, and content creators.

Who is Bosma?

Franklin described Bosma as relatively new to the camera market, but not new to optical products. The company’s research, development, production, and sales teams are based in Guangzhou, China, while its US sales, marketing, and product planning team is located in the San Francisco Bay Area.

That background matters because the Vega H2 is entering a very crowded camera market. Franklin said Bosma saw demand from filmmakers and creators for cameras that are lightweight, compact, smart, multifunctional, and easier to use. The Vega H2 is the company’s attempt to answer that need with a few ideas not commonly found in this category.

What stands out

The Vega H2 is built around a 6K full-frame sensor, but its more distinctive ideas are in the camera’s handling and assist features. Bosma’s patented HVS system, short for Horizontal & Vertical Switching, rotates the lens, mount, and sensor together, allowing users to switch between horizontal and vertical capture.

The second notable feature is a ToF-based autofocus system designed to bring autofocus support to manual lenses. Franklin said the system uses a rangefinder sensor, face detection, and a motorized mechanism to drive focus. He also described it as removable, so users who prefer traditional manual focus can still work that way.

The third feature is an integrated optical variable ND system. Bosma calls this OVND, and it uses a motorized mechanism to adjust light transmission without changing filters. For solo operators or fast-moving work, that could be one of the more practical parts of the camera.

Where the compromises are

The Vega H2 also makes some cost-conscious choices. Johnnie asked why Bosma chose SD cards rather than CFexpress Type B, and Franklin said the decision was partly about keeping costs lower for content creators. External SSD recording is supported, and Bosma is also developing CFexpress options.

Internally, the camera records H.265, H.264, and ProRes, but there is no internal RAW recording. Franklin framed that choice as a balance between image quality, file size, dynamic range, and workflow efficiency.

External RAW recording over HDMI is still being developed and could become available in the coming months. That means users interested in a more cinema-focused RAW workflow will need to wait and see how that implementation develops.

Mounts, service, and ecosystem

The Vega H2 is listed as a multi-mount camera system, with PL, EF, and M mount options. In the interview, Franklin said users should be able to change mounts themselves without sending the camera in for service.

Service is another important question, especially because Bosma is still a less familiar name in many film and video markets. Franklin said the company has a US office in the San Francisco Bay Area to support the North American market, a sales agent in Japan, and European partners currently being developed. Bosma is also planning online support for users in other regions.

Bosma is also presenting the Vega H2 within a wider imaging ecosystem. The company does not make lenses or tripods itself, but it points users toward Chiopt lenses and Fotopro tripods as partner brands, with the aim of giving creators a more one-stop path to compatible gear around the camera body.

Price and availability

The Vega H2 is expected to reach the market around the end of July or early August. Final pricing has not been announced yet, but Franklin estimated that the retail price will be between $4,000 and $5,000, with the official price to be confirmed at launch.

Would features like vertical switching, autofocus for manual lenses, and integrated variable ND make you consider a camera from a newer player in this market? Let us know in the comments.
