C&I Studios loves working with the Arri Alexa Mini LF for all large format productions. With its cinematic look, incredible detail, and versatility, this camera provides stunning images that will exceed your expectations. |
| SENSOR | Arri has created an extremely versatile and powerful camera in the Mini LF. Its ALEV 3 A2X sensor is a 36.7mm x 25.54mm sensor that has 4448×3096 photosites, so it is truly a 4.5K sensor. This provides a stunning amount of detail and color information, all captured at up to 100 FPS.

| WEIGHT | The ALEXA Mini LF camera body with an LPL lens mount weighs 2.6 Kg/5.7 lbs. It is lighter than some digital cinema cameras, while maintaining the same high-quality image and specifications of any other large-format camera. |
| MOUNT | As a large-format camera, the Arri Alexa Mini LF has an LPL mount, which makes it perfect for large format lenses like those from Cooke and Angenieux. It can also be outfitted with a PL-to-LPL adapter, which allows you to use nearly any lens. This mount is placed closer to the sensor plate, which makes it very versatile for non-native lenses, as well as making it a more balanced camera when paired with lenses. |
| FILTER | In addition to all of these amazing features, the Arri Mini LF has built-in ND filters for outdoor shooting in bright sunlight, or it can be outfitted with an external mechanical filter system for total control over your exposure settings. This feature is practically unheard-of with 4K cameras! |
| ENCODING | The Arri Alexa Mini LF also utilizes a Codex technology called High Density Encoding (HDE). This allows for completely lossless compression of files when they are offloaded to your computer. It provides incredible latitude for postproduction workflows and staying within budget for productions since it is raw footage that needs to be worked on after production has taken place. |

This makes it an easy choice for anyone looking for a camera that will work seamlessly with the Netflix pipeline. |
| WIFI | The Arri isn’t just about specs though; there are several features that provide excellent support for productions here in NYC. The first is the camera’s built-in WiFi, which allows for wireless remote control and monitoring of the camera from an iPad or other iOS device. This is perfect for when you need to be on set but don’t want to be tied down to the camera. |
| INTERFACE | The Arri Mini LF also has a very intuitive and user-friendly interface. It is easy to customize your settings and get the most out of this powerful camera. Plus, with its compact size, it is easy to transport and set up wherever you need it. |
