Embracing Large-Format Aesthetics
Utilise the large-format sensor to achieve a distinct cinematic look with shallower depth of field and a wider field of view. Its over 16 stops of dynamic range and native ISO 800 ensure pristine images with incredible detail retention in highlights and shadows, providing immense flexibility for colour grading.
Recording for Post-Production
For ultimate control in post, record 4.5K large-format ARRIRAW to Codex Compact Drives. For more efficient workflows without compromising ARRI’s image fidelity, choose from the various ProRes formats available, including 4K UHD.
Streamlined Exposure Control
Benefit from the built-in motorised FSND filters (0.6, 1.2, 1.8). These simplify exposure adjustments on set, allowing you to maintain your chosen aperture and depth of field effortlessly without needing external filters.
Adaptable Rigging
The Mini LF’s compact, carbon-fibre design makes it highly adaptable. Rig it for gimbals, drones, cranes, or handheld setups. Its modularity ensures it integrates seamlessly into a wide range of production styles.
Lens Compatibility
While the camera features a native ARRI LPL mount for large-format optics, remember the included PL-to-LPL adaptor ensures compatibility with a vast array of existing PL-mount cinema lenses, giving you extensive creative options.
