Description

The ARRI Alexa Mini is a compact, lightweight 35mm cinema camera. It features include an integrated lens motor control and ND filters. In addition, ARRI Alexa Mini has the ALEV III sensor which is found in all other cameras in the ALEXA series.

Future-proof technology includes 4K UHD, HDR & high frame-rate recording. The camera uses a lightweight carbon-fibre body. As a result the Alexa Mini is ideal for gimbal and drone use.

Other features include exchangeable lens mounts. This enables the use of a huge variety of lenses. For example the ARRI Signature primes (LPL), Zeiss Supreme and Cooke Panchro/i Classics (PL) and Canon cinema-primes (EF).

The integrated lens motor control includes an LBUS port. This makes the Alexa Mini compatible with the ARRI C-force motors for focus, iris and zoom control (available for hire separately). For instance the ARRI WCU-4 or SXU-1 wireless follow focus kits.
