In a video published as part of the ARRI Tech Talk series, product marketing manager Sean Dooley takes you through the process of building a lightweight kit and gives you a little information about each of the components and what they can be used for. Dedicated top, side and bottom components such as EVF support, top handle, bridge plate adapter, shoulder pad and side brackets make the ALEXA 35 a compact, low-profile, but convenient camera setup that can serve you well in a variety of solo shooting situations: shoulder, handheld or attached to the Easyrig.

This new ARRI camera continues to impress us, and especially the original, it is. Flame 4. It will be interesting to learn more about the origins of the ALEV 4, but it will be even more interesting to explore how the extended dynamic range will look on the big screen. We bet there are quite a few productions shot with the ALEXA 35 for theatrical releases. Exciting times for cinephiles.
