Overview

Overview

The ARRI AMIRA Premium kit includes the camera body, the MVF-1 multi-viewer viewfinder, plus the Premium License Key to expand your camera functionality.

You can purchase interchangeable lens mounts separately. Your choice includes: PL, B4, and Canon EF.

NOTE: Verify current recording media compatibility with ARRI's Supported Recording Media Overview.

 

ARRI AMIRA Camera Body

The versatile ARRI AMIRA Camera features an ergonomic design well-suited for single-operator use or for extended shoulder-mounted operation. It includes the same 35mm sensor as the ALEXA and records HD 1080 images suitable for any distribution format. It combines exceptional image quality with affordable CFast 2.0 workflows. It features in-camera grading and preloaded 3D LUTs. Plus, the AMIRA can capture 100fps slow motion.

The AMIRA produces natural colors and skin tones with a dynamic range of up to 14+ stops. You can record 4K UHD 3840x2160 (with license – included in Premium kit or sold separately), HD 1920x1080, Rec 709, ProRes recording up to 422 on CFast 2.0 cards. It provides a native ISO of 800.

Enhanced HD-SDI outputs on the AMIRA allow the overlay of timecode and other information parameters which is seen within the viewfinder to also be seen on connected monitors. The manufacturer also states you can use an HD-SDI signal as further gunlock-like sync options.

Choose between interchangeable lens mounts: PL, B4 2/3" or Canon EF.

The ARRI AMIRA Basic Camera Kit includes:

  • ARRI AMIRA Camera Body
  • Viewfinder MVF-1
  • Camera Handle
  • Viewfinder Mount
  • Viewfinder Cables
  • USB Stick

The AMIRA boasts low noise levels and subtle highlights. You can also engage the pre-record function which is an internal buffer to perpetually record a loop. This may help when capturing wildlife or live situations so you can capture all the action.

Ergonomics for Single-Shooters

Sporting sliding dovetails to perfect your shoulder balance, the ARRI AMIRA can be ready to shoot straight out of the bag which makes it ideal for documentary-style productions. The manufacturer boasts that the AMIRA camera boots up in about 13 seconds. How is that possible? All you need to do is attach a charged battery and your lens to begin shooting.

The AMIRA would also be ideal for second unit teams who tend to capture on the go.

Configure your handheld shooting style with ease with the addition of an ARRI MVF-1 viewfinder (included in the Premium kit or sold separately) which combines a high-resolution OLED eyepiece with a fold-away LCD monitor for a live view or camera settings. The display includes access to camera controls and settings. You won't need to remove the camera from your shoulder to adjust the settings due to the helpful and ergonomic design of the camera and MVF-1 when used together.

You’ll be happy to learn that ND filters (0.6, 1.2, 2.1) are embedded in the camera. Also, the camera’s multi-channel audio includes accessible buttons. Plus, ARRI states that the camera boots up in about 13 seconds. 

If all of that doesn't convince you this camera is what you require for documentary or run-and-gun productions, perhaps this will. The ARRI AMIRA is almost half the weight of the ARRI ALEXA. Yes, there are other cameras which are lighter and suited to aerial work or small tripods, but you may find the weight benefits you to maintain a smooth recording.

In-Camera Grading

The camera is preloaded with looks, including some 3D LUT-based looks to apply while filming. ARRI likens this to in-camera grading so Cinematographers can craft consistent and creative visuals. The AMIRA’s color control on set will help you save money in post. Your producer will love you for it.

You can either burn in the looks to your recorded footage or make the adjustments apply only to monitoring.

Other Features

The durable AMIRA includes sealed electronics for longevity and to protect against humidity and dust. An integrated thermal core produces efficient cooling. The solid internal skeleton promises camera and lens stability. Combine all that together, plus recall that you can grab it out of the camera bag and setup fast, and you will find you can take this reliable camera from cityscape to jungle, no matter where your production takes you.

If you need live voice-over, employ a microphone-equipped headset to record spoken comments during filming. This provides you the ability to give edit notes. It should also provide the ability to capture a separate audio track for broadcast talent. Timecode and other parameters seen in the viewfinder can also be seen on monitors by using AMIRA's HD-SDI outputs.

The Premium license will provide you with WiFi remote control and Bluetooth audio capabilities. 

 

ARRI AMIRA Viewfinder MVF-1

The ARRI AMIRA Viewfinder MVF-1 is designed to assist single shooters with numerous configurations. Use it traditionally with the OLED eyepiece or fold open the 3.2" LCD to monitor camera settings or live coverage. It permits playback of recorded footage.

Access important camera controls to minimize delays on set. ARRI has added new peaking functions. You can also use zebra and false color tools or focus via easy-access buttons.

The OLED eyepiece viewfinder delivers optimal performance and color rendition. The eyepiece is mounted to a rugged, lightweight sliding bar so you can alter position to suit your comfort or your needs. Slide it forward and back, as well as side-to-side. Choose which vital camera information will be displayed for you inside the viewfinder.

The fold-away LCD display is daylight visible and ideal for either a single-operator your as a monitor for your director or other crew members. It is bright enough to playback footage in just about any situation. Its full-access to camera functionality – the main access to the camera interface – permits quick changes to settings and configurable user buttons.

Due to ARRI’s foresight in creating an ergonomic design, the monitor can be use without removing from the operator's shoulder. You can tilt it up and down to adjust to any shooting situation.
