ARRI 435

Available with either 4 or 3 perforation movements, the 435 Xtreme combines the features of the 435ES, 435 Advanced and the Functional Expansion Module 2 (FEM-2) in one package, resulting in the most flexible camera for MOS work. Still as small and robust as its first iteration, the 435 Xtreme is ideal for features, commercials, music videos, Steadicam, special effects or motion control work alike
Feedback from the market over the last ten years has resulted in a multitude of new functions and options for the 435 Xtreme:
bulletA super bright high quality viewfinder, available for either spherical or anamorphic viewing.

 
bulletAn extensive speed range from 0.1 to 150 fps.

 
bulletThe latest generation of the ARRI Integrated Video System, the IVS-2, not only shows a brilliant, bright video image, but can also superimpose camera status information and frame lines, allows for automatic or manual color balancing of the image and can preview motion blur effects.

 
bulletA new ramp generator improves ramping capabilities with faster and smoother ramps. An even wider ramping speed range from 0.1 straight to 150 fps is possible.

 
bulletWith the Single Frame System the 435 Xtreme transforms into a single frame/time lapse camera. The unique Integrated Capping Shutter (also available in 4 or 3 perforation) allows viewing of the viewfinder and video assist image even when the shutter is closed.

 
bulletWith the Motion Control Interface (MCI) the movement, mirror shutter and Internal Capping Shutter can be independently and frame accurately controlled by a motion control computer.

 
bulletTight integration with the ARRIMOTION system makes for a powerful set up that includes frame accurate go motion, stop motion and ramping capabilities.

 
bulletFrom the ARRICAM the 435 Xtreme inherited the built in Lens Data System (LDS Ultra), which saves time and allows the assistant to work more efficiently on the set

 
bulletThe 435 Xtreme can be outfitted with an extensive range of accessories for any shooting situation. These include 120m/400' magazine, a 300m/1000' magazine, a Steadicam magazine, a 100% Video Top, Single Frame System, Motion Control Interface, Universal Radio Module, Lens Data Displays, and ARRIMOTION.

 
bulletThe 435 Xtreme is of course also tightly integrated into the existing ARRI accessories, of which it shares many with the ARRICAM, from the small and modular Wireless Lens Control System, the Wireless Remote Control (WRC-1) to the range of follow focus and matte boxes.

 
bulletThe electronics for lens motors have been integrated, and the camera side radio modem (URM) for wireless lens and camera control has its own place reserved, giving the camera the smallest envelope possible.

435 Timeline

Since the 435 camera first saw the light of day in 1995, it has become the workhorse of the film industry, the golden standard for MOS camera work. Over 1,200 cameras were sold worldwide. Based on the original 435 design, ARRI has continuously updated the camera to add versatility and features, culminating now in the 435 Xtreme.
