Description
The ARRI Alexa Mini LF is a compact, large-format cinema camera that delivers premium image quality in a body perfectly suited to high-end narrative, commercial, and documentary work. It combines ARRI’s native 4K-capable sensor with a flexible, lightweight design that integrates smoothly into gimbal, drone, handheld, and studio configurations.
Key selling points
– **Large-format look** with a sensor slightly larger than full frame, providing shallow depth of field, smooth highlight roll-off, and exceptional dynamic range for a cinematic image.
– Native 4K recording with support for up to 4.5K ARRIRAW and high-end ProRes formats, ready for today’s 4K delivery standards and premium streaming requirements.
– Compact, lightweight carbon-fiber body that balances well on gimbals, Steadicam, drones, and handheld rigs while still offering full professional connectivity.
Image quality and formats
– ARRI’s large-format ALEV sensor delivers over 14 stops of dynamic range, excellent low-light performance, and natural skin tones trusted on top-tier productions.
– Multiple recording formats, including ARRIRAW and ProRes in various resolutions and aspect ratios, make it easy to match different workflows and post-production pipelines.
– REVEAL Color Science (via ARRI’s current workflow) supports accurate color reproduction and robust grading flexibility for HDR and theatrical delivery.
Workflow and reliability
– Professional Codex media and ARRI’s proven recording architecture offer a stable, production-ready platform for long shoot days and demanding environments.
– Built-in ND filters, advanced monitoring tools, and flexible Log C / Rec.709 look options streamline on-set operation for crews moving quickly between setups.
– Designed for reliability in challenging conditions, with robust environmental sealing and a build quality suited to professional rental and field use.
Ideal productions
– High-end features, commercials, music videos, and narrative work that demand the Alexa large-format aesthetic in a smaller, more agile body.
– Gimbal, car rig, drone, and handheld setups where weight, size, and balance are critical but there can be no compromise on image quality or color science.
– Multi-camera and mixed-format shoots where the Mini LF needs to intercut seamlessly with other ARRI Alexa LF-family cameras.
