About the product
The ARRI ALEXA Mini LF camera is built around a large-format 4K version of the original ALEV 3 sensor, offering native 4K ARRIRAW or Apple ProRes recording in three sensor modes - LF Open Gate, LF 16:9 or LF 2.39:1 mode. The Mini LF's large-format resolution, combined with an optimized pixel size provides superb image quality with rich and nuanced imagery, accompanied by natural skin tones and smooth bokeh. The camera comes with ARRI's LPL lens mount - designed for large-format capture, but allows compatibility with PL lenses through a PL-to-LPL adapter.
The Mini LF is the perfect combination of the ALEXA LF's large format sensor and the ALEXA Mini's compact and light form factor. Additionally, the Mini LF features six user buttons, a media bay for Codex Compact Drives, as well as two rows of connectors for AUX power, monitoring/transmission, timecode, Ethernet, audio, as well USB type A for Data and a proprietary Viewfinder port.
