Description
The ARRI Alexa Mini brings the Super 35 ALEV III sensor — shared with the rest of the ALEXA line — into a compact, lightweight body suited to handheld, gimbal and drone work.
Build and Mounts
A carbon-fibre body keeps weight down for gimbal and drone use, with an integrated lens motor control and LBUS port for ARRI C-Force motors and wireless follow focus systems like the WCU-4 or SXU-1. The camera supports 4K UHD, HDR and high frame rate recording, with internal ND filters built in.
Mount Options
Available in PL mount (default) or EF mount — select above. PL mount pairs with Zeiss Supreme Primes and Cooke Panchro/i Classics; EF mount opens up Canon cinema primes and native Canon EF lenses.
Kit Contents
The hire kit includes the camera body, viewfinder with eyecup, top handle, ARRI quick-release bottom plate and bridge plate with shoulder pad, three 256GB CFast 2.0 cards with reader, Tilta rosette grips, an ARRI standard dovetail plate, audio cable and 24V power cable.
