ARRICAM System Guide 05
Introduction
What is the ARRICAM System Guide?
This is the official illustrated guide to ARRICAM names,
features and compatibilities. It gives a brief overview of
each component of the ARRICAM system.
It does not include detailed information on ground glasses,
format masks, cables or cases. A complete listing of all parts
of the ARRICAM system can be found in the ARRICAM
price list.
Items that are the same for the ARRICAM and ARRIFLEX
systems (Matte Box, Follow Focus, Eyepiece Leveler,
Right Side Handgrip, etc) are not listed separately here.
More information on the ARRICAM System can be
found in the ARRICAM System Users’ Guide, the
Quick Guides, the ARRICAM technical notes and the
ARRI web site @ http://www.arri.com
Please be aware that specifications are subject to change.

Anyone operating the ARRICAM system should have
these four tools:
1. The ARRICAM Ground glass tool
is used to remove the ground glass and the field lens.
It includes a 1.5 mm hex wrench to adjust the video
assist chip or the Frameglow alignment.
2. A 3 mm metric hex wrench
is used to attach and remove most accessories.
3. A 5 mm metric hex wrench
is used to remove the camera handles from the
cubes.
5. A straight slot screwdriver with a wide blade
is used to attach Bridgeplates and the Shoulder Set.
Please note that screwdrivers with a short, stubby
shaft will not work with the Shoulder Set.
