AXIOM introduces the first professional, extendable and modular cinema camera platform entirely based on free software, open design and open hardware.
 
 
 
This project was created by film-makers who were fed up with the expensive and limited tools they had to work with every day. The desire to have devices/technology without limitations, that are tailored exactly to the film-makers needs sparked the creation of the apertus° project and still keeps it going many years later.
 
The created technology will be freely adaptable, just as the generated knowledge are made freely available. The AXIOM product line is the result of the ongoing endeavor to redefine the industry well beyond the DIY garages and hobbyist labs the project started in: to build the very first open digital cinema camera from scratch and to create a platform for film-makers, creative industry professionals, artists and enthusiasts.
 
 
 
AXIOM was inspired by the earlier [[Elphel camera]] open hardware camera.
