I Can See Clearly Now To capture the images you want, you have first to see them clearly. So viewfinder quality is crucial if an operator is to accurately appraise images, especially with 16 mm. The optical viewfinder on the 416 cameras makes it easy to judge focus, create a precise image composition, and work comfortably and efficiently. The viewfinder optics have been redesigned from the ground up, incorporating fewer lens elements of higher quality and a shorter optical path.
ARRI | ARRIFLEX 416 The ARRIFLEX 416 cameras' optical viewfinder uses a completely new optical design, resulting in significantly higher contrast, higher resolution and a brighter image.
z light path inside camera body z light path inside viewfinder AM AL AN AK AO AT AP 9 AQ u Mirror Shutter x Video Assist Beam Splitter A half-moon shaped mirror rotates in front of the film gate at the camera speed. Half of the time the mirror covers the film and the light from the taking lens is reflected up into the viewfinder. During that time, the film is transported one frame further.
ARRI | ARRIFLEX 416 Advantages of Optical Viewfinders Optical viewfinders, as used in all ARRI cameras, provide by far the most comfortable, accurate and efficient way to work when capturing images. Operators see a bright and sharp, full color image and are able to accurately judge focus. By their very nature, optical viewfinders have zero delay, showing exactly what is happening, right when it is happening.
RGB ARRIGLOW With the new RGB ARRIGLOW, you can choose any color you like. Set evenly or yellow for blue skies. You can, of course, also mix your own ARRIGLOW grey. Integrated Video Assist The 416 cameras' viewfinder is accompanied by a video assist with the same features and image quality as the highly praised ARRICAM and 435 integrated video assists (IVS). This video assist is closely integrated into the camera body to keep the overall camera size small and slim.

IS THE CAMERA REALLY RUNNING? The Sound of Silence The 416 cameras use a completely new sound insulation design that makes the 416 and 416 Plus as quiet as an ARRICAM and allows the 416 Plus HS to record a very stable image even at higher frame rates. An inner skeleton is suspended by symmetrically positioned rubber insulators in an outer shell. The camera's movement and other parts that create vibrations - and thus unwanted sound - are mounted to the inner skeleton.

25% LIGHTER THAN SR 3 ARRI | ARRIFLEX 416 Compact, Lightweight and Fast One of the reasons cinematographers and producers with demanding schedules choose to shoot Super 16 is the faster production pace afforded by smaller and lighter equipment. A Super 16 camera fits into any location, can be mounted to almost anything and can be quickly used on the shoulder. The 416 cameras further increase this portability, while providing many of the features crews have come to expect of 35 mm cameras.
PL Mount and Lenses The 416 cameras use the industry standard 54 mm stainless steel PL mount. The stable backfocus afforded by the PL mount and by the robust camera construction is a hallmark of all ARRI film cameras. The PL mount makes the vast selection of high quality lenses for the Super 16 and 35 mm formats available to the ARRIFLEX 416 cameras. This includes the Master Primes, which combine the highest optical quality with a super fast stop of T1.
ARRI | ARRIFLEX 416 The Ultra 16 lenses: 6, 8, 9.5, 12, 14, 18, 25, 35 and 50 mm, all T1.3 The Ultra Primes: T2.8/8, T2.1/10, T2/12, T1.9/14, T1.9/16, T1.9/20, T1.9/24, T1.9/28, T1.9/32, T1.9/40, T1.9/50, T1.9/65, T1.9/85, T1.9/100, T1.9/135 and T1.
Control and Power The simple to use control panel on the 416 range should be familiar to anyone who has ever worked with a modern ARRI camera, since the 416 cameras have inherited the 235's control panel design and illuminated buttons. All three 416 cameras can therefore be operated without further training and the setting of any operating parameter can be accomplished quickly and intuitively.
ARRI | ARRIFLEX 416 The OBB-2 connects to the 416 cameras through a new, but backwards-compatible power connector.
MODULAR SYSTEM ARRI | ARRIFLEX 416 The 416 Camera System The ARRIFLEX 416 cameras are complemented by a range of new and existing accessories that follow the same design philosophy used in the creation of the 416 body and magazines: increasing efficiency on the set. Two handles have been designed: one for normal use, one for remote. These include such details as a flip-up tape hook and different height platforms for Steadicam and for under-slinging the camera on a remote head.
