The ARRI wireless lens control ecosystem continues to grow and get stronger with new capabilities and technology. The ARRI cforce mini RF motor, Master Grips, WCU-4 and various other accessories are all designed to work in concert, giving you a wide range of options for wireless camera control.

The SXT is the third generation of ALEXA from ARRI. This blog concentrates on the wireless capabilities of the SXT Plus. The Plus has electronics for wireless lens functions built in, so motors and cables are all you need to build the camera.

A while back, I showed how to connect to the ALEXA Mini using your phone. This wireless connection allows control of basic camera functions, freeing the operator to compose and operate. In this blog, wireless connectivity is taken even further using the WCU-4.

The ARRI WCU-4 (Wireless Control Unit) has become a staple of the industry. In this video, I start to explore all the rigging possibilities for the handset.

Our annual Post-NAB event that we held in NY earlier this week was a success — we had a great turnout and more gear than ever before. During the event, we tried something new and streamed interviews with some manufacturers directly to Facebook Live. If you missed those interviews, don’t worry, you can watch them all below!

ARRI's line of Electronic Control Systems are popular accessories to use with many cameras, especially the ALEXA Mini.

In this Tech Talk, Sebastien Laffoux and Hendrik Voss from ARRI discuss the cool new features in SUP 4.0 for the ALEXA Mini.

Alongside the AMIRA in our booth, we displayed another new accessory from Arri, the EMC-1 ENG Motor Controller. Designed to be used with ENG-type lenses such as the Fujinon Cabrios, this unit controls the focus, iris, and zoom motors, along with providing lens data that will be displayed on the WCU-4.
