To maintain ARRIโs famously rugged build quality in a small and lightweight camera, a number of unique design solutions have been incorporated. These include highly integrated and sealed electronics, a lightweight carbon housing and a solid titanium PLย mount that connects directly with the new internal sensor mount โ also made of titanium โ to ensure a super-stable flange focal distance, even when using large lenses. Nimble in use and hardy on set, the ALEXAย Mini is a go-anywhere tool, easy to transport in backpacks or as carry-on luggage.
The ALEXAย Mini can be operated in a number of ways: by wireless remote control, as a normal camera with the ARRIย MVF-1 multi viewfinder attached, or with an on-board monitor and controlled via the user button interface on the camera body. Light enough to be comfortably held at armโs length in a hand rig, its compact size and extremely quiet operation also make it ideal for tight shooting conditions.
The symmetrical design permits filming in any orientation, including upside-down and in portrait mode, while multiple accessory points enable highly creative mounting solutions. In addition, the ALEXAย Miniโs interchangeable lens mount can be replaced with any of those designed for the ARRIย AMIRA, allowing the use of B4ย video and EFย mount stills lenses..
The overwhelming advantage of the ALEXAย Mini is that it marries such a compact and lightweight form factor with the same unparalleled image quality that has made the ARRIย ALEXA system a gold standard for the industry. Combine the Mini with any other ALEXA camera and you will have perfectly matched images, even on anamorphic productions โ thanks to the 4:3ย sensor and automatic deโsqueezeย function. Workflows will also be identical, with options to record ProRes or uncompressed ARRIRAW either in-camera to CFastย 2.0 cards or to a specially-designed external Codexย recorder.
