ARRI

Arricam ST

ARRI's flagship 35mm sync-sound studio camera, introduced in 2000 as a replacement for the Arriflex 535 line. It was ARRI's first 35mm silent camera to use displacement magazines instead of coaxial ones. Features dual-pin registration, dual pull-down claws, and an electronically adjustable mirror shutter (0-180 degrees in 0.1-degree increments) with crystal motors accurate to 1/1000 fps.
