At just 28\u00d728mm and 24 grams, PROTON is redefining what’s possible in video production. We explore how this remarkably compact camera is opening up shots once out of reach, from drone integration and POV rigs to immersive sports coverage.\n <\/p>\n\n <div class=\"spec-chips\">\n <div class=\"spec-chip\"><span class=\"chip-value\">24g<\/span><span class=\"chip-label\">Weight<\/span><\/div>\n <div class=\"spec-chip\"><span class=\"chip-value\">28\u00d728mm<\/span><span class=\"chip-label\">Size<\/span><\/div>\n <div class=\"spec-chip\"><span class=\"chip-value\">12bit<\/span><span class=\"chip-label\">Sensor<\/span><\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"lang-group\">\n <div class=\"lang-label\">Listen Now<\/div>\n <div class=\"podcast-buttons\">\n <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/episode\/6NQNagQc9AiRZmGICXLgmf?si=dDY11NYnRkqTFDhgLxAiNA\" class=\"btn btn-spotify\" target=\"_blank\">\u25b6 Listen on Spotify<\/a>\n <a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/jp\/podcast\/proton-how-a-24-gram-camera-is-changing-video-production\/id1877475656?i=1000779985216&l=en-US\" class=\"btn btn-apple\" target=\"_blank\">\u25b6 Listen on Apple Podcasts<\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n <div class=\"section\">\n <div class=\"section-badge badge-tech\">\ud83d\udce1 Technical Article<\/div>\n <h2 class=\"section-title\"><span>Beating the RF Jungle:<\/span><br>Professional-Grade Bluetooth\u00ae Auracast\u2122 Opens the Next Generation of Audio Return<\/h2>\n\n <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/village-island.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/auracast_broadcastasia_demo.jpg\" alt=\"Auracast field test at BroadcastAsia\" class=\"eyecatch\">\n\n <p>\n Unlike traditional Bluetooth, which relies on one-to-one pairing, the new <strong>Bluetooth\u00ae Auracast\u2122<\/strong> broadcast standard lets a single transmitter deliver audio to an unlimited number of receivers at once.
