Cameras

It is true to say that if you’re shooting any form of moving image, whether it be a commercial, TV drama or feature film, there is one brand that is everyone’s default choice: Arri. Each and every camera they produce is capable of making a truly remarkable image, and, crucially, for those of us below-the-line crew who have to use them in anger, day in and day out, Arri cameras are able to make those images with an ease of use and reliability that is second-to-none. That is why Manned Camera has chosen to specialise in Arri camera systems, and you will find something to suit every shoot and budget on our shelves (there’s a Sony hiding somewhere in a corner too…)

In addition to those you’ll find below, we also have access to Arri’s film cameras, including the Arricam LT and Arricam ST, the Arriflex SR3, Arriflex 416+ and Arriflex 416 HS. Check out our full catalogue or download our rate card.

ARRI Alexa 35

S35

The follow up camera that the world has waited for. Finally an Arri camera that shoots native (Netflix compliant) 4K in super 35 format, and does so with a jaw-dropping 17+ stops of dynamic range.

Drawing on years of feedback and experience with the Alexa Mini and Alexa Mini LF, the Alexa 35 improves on the earlier cameras in every respect. Now sporting a body so tough you could use it as a weapon (if you were so inclined), the Alexa 35 might be a touch heavier than it forebears, but it sits at the very pinnacle of moving image acquisition.

LF

The mighty Alexa Mini, in Large Format form!

Arri’s legendary image quality and ergonomics with a Netflix compliant large format aesthetic. What more could you want?

Arri have really thought about this iteration of the Mini – addressing the few criticisms that could levelled at the ground breaking original: gone is the rear facing media door, gone is the fiddly and fragile EVF cable.

The Alexa Mini LF has improved power distribution (a boon to every AC in the land), better media handling, and comes with a raft of improved accessories, making working with the LF a dream.

S35, Premium, UHD

Our Arri Amira comes with the every conceivable extra, making it one of the most comprehensive kits available. No expense has been spared.

If you want the Alexa sensor, with all it’s glorious colour and high-light handling, in a form that, although a bit heavier than the Mini, is in fact the very best choice for handheld work. No other camera can be balanced like an Amira – you want fingertip control while a camera is on your shoulder, this is the one for you.

Sony Venice

Sony Venice

LF

The Sony Venice is an absolute powerhouse of a camera, boasting a giant 6K sensor and high framerate, this camera is Sony’s challenger to the Mini LF in both power and versatility; paired with its one of a kind Rialto system, the camera becomes even more versatile with the ability to move around corners and be used as its own, handheld unit. Our Sony Venice includes a whole variety of the best accessories around to make sure this is the best Venice kit on the market, including a wooden camera D-box V-lock system, meaning you can attach any LBUS or lemo capable bit of kit to work with it. We also have an LPL adaptor meaning you can utilize the full-frame sensor to the max with our Arri signature lenses.
