ARRI Alexa Mini LF Kit
The ARRI Alexa Mini LF offers you the premium, large format look in a package very similar in size to the popular, super 35 sensor based ARRI Alexa Mini.
The colour science from the Mini LF is the same industry standard look as from Alexa LF, Alexa Mini and Amira cameras - so you know you are getting the best image available today.
The Mini LF includes both an LPL mount and a PL adapter, allowing the use of a wide range of lenses. A Canon EF mount is also available as a no-cost alternative option.
Choose from a range of recording formats to suit your project requirements and the lenses being used - from LF Open Gate through to LF 16:9 or 2.39:1 modes. Talk to us about lens compatibility if you have any questions.
The Mini LF also improves upon the S35 Alexa Mini in some key areas. The EVF cable connector is now a single pin and cannot be inserted incorrectly. There's a dedicated genlock/sync BNC jack, rather than this function consuming the second SDI output. The camera body has 12V and 24V auxiliary power connectors for powering accessories directly from the camera body (rather than via the power distribution box).
