Power Distribution Module PDM-1

The Power Distribution Module PDM-1 is an optional, low-profile accessory that attaches to the back of the ALEXA 35 and adds seven power outputs (4x 24 V, 2x 12 V, 1x 12 V Twist D-Tap). Once attached to the camera, the PDM-1 is internally powered and there are no extra cables or brackets necessary, making it an elegant integrated accessory.

Low Mode Support LMS-4

The Low Mode Support LMS-4 is a fully featured top plate for the ALEXA 35. A new quick release mechanism allows the CCH-5 top handle to be easily removed, without tools, while retaining superior rigidity while mounted. Dual rod clamps for optically centered 15 mm rods allow for top mounted motors or traditional viewfinder mounting brackets (using the MVB-1). Multiple mounting points support a range of accessories and low mode mounting for the ARRI Artemis and other mechanical stabilizers. For even more mounting options, the LMS-4 can be extended with the TEB-1.

Center Camera Handle CCH-5

The Centre Camera Handle CCH-5 is a full-size production top handle for the ALEXA 35 that can be quickly attached and removed from the LMS-4 without tools. Featuring a wider, more comfortable grip than previous top handles the CCH-5 has been designed to allow common gimbal top plates to remain mounted to the camera, under the handle. Multiple mounting points adorn the handle for accessories and existing HEB and HEX handle extensions can be mounted to the front and rear.

Viewfinder Mounting Bracket VMB-5

The Viewfinder Mounting Bracket VMB-5 offers a longer reach than traditional viewfinder brackets and is the most flexible and comfortable method to attach a viewfinder to a camera. Positioning the viewfinder in a 360° arc is done by loosening a single thumb screw and freely repositioning the viewfinder, which will remain in place thanks to double friction-based clamping mechanisms.

The VMB-5 is compatible with all standard ARRI viewfinder extension brackets and viewfinder adapters. Requires Square Accessory Sleeve SAS-1 for attachment to a camera.

Square Accessory Sleeve SAS-1

The Square Accessory Sleeve SAS-1 is required to mount the Viewfinder Mounting Bracket VMB-5 to your camera and has been designed with a rectangular rod to prevent the viewfinder falling when loosening the adjustment clamp. The SAS-1 has been designed with the CCH-5 top handle in mind but can be mounted to any two M4 attachment points spaced 20 mm apart, as regularly found on ARRI camera accessories.

Articulated Mounting Plate AMP-1

The Articulated Mounting Plate AMP-1 is a hinged plate that allows accessories to be mounted in locations that would have previously prevented access to various camera ports. The AMP-1 allows further adjustment up/down in relation to its attachment bracket. It is compatible with any accessory with a 1/4-20, 3/8-16 or M4 attachment point and is particularly suited to video transmitters and motor controllers.

Compact Bridge Plate CBP-6 (15mm)

The CBP-6 is a compact and lightweight baseplate that combines the functionalities of a sliding studio bridge plate with a comfortable Visco shoulder pad. The top of the CBP-6 slides into the bottom of the Balance Utility Dovetail BUD-1 and allows for significant balance adjustment. The improved quick-release system, first seen in the CBP-1 for ALEXA Mini and now in its third generation, allows it to be lifted straight off the bottom dovetail plate without having to slide off from the rear. This is particularly helpful when dealing with larger lenses, or when needing to rapidly change from tripod-mounted to handheld configurations. The CBP-6 accepts 15 mm Lightweight and 15 mm Studio rods. New structural supports and two tails underneath the CBP increase the rigidity of the system in contrast to previous CBP designs. The CBP-6 is only compatible with the ALEXA 35.

Bottom Dovetail Plate 300mm/12in

The 300mm/12 inch Bottom Dovetail Plate is the standard for all prime lenses where minimal balancing is required. All ARRI Bottom Plates feature 3/8" and 1/4" Camloc® inserts.
