ARRI

ARRI 416

ARRI's Super 16mm production camera, introduced in 2006. Built with PL mount compatibility shared with ARRI's 35mm cameras, it supports frame rates from 1 to 75 fps (up to 150 fps in the HS variant) and runs below 20 dB(A) at 24 fps for sync-sound work. The viewfinder and video assist operate independently, allowing fast changeovers for Steadicam or remote operation.
