Premium Member Tim Carroll Posted March 31, 2006 Premium Member Share Posted March 31, 2006 No other hints or details? Per Jon Fauer in Special NAB Supplement to American Cinematographer: "None of this is official Arri information...I think that this camera, Arri's 4th generation coaxial magazine Super 16mm camera, is going to be huge...smaller and lighter than the 16SR3, according to sources...Not an upgrade of the 16SR3...seems to be a completely redesigned camera, incorporating some familiar features of Arri's 35mm format cameras like the 235, 435 and Arricam." To read more, pick up the April issue of American Cinematographer and make sure it has the Film and Digital Times supplement. -Tim Carroll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Schneider Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 From what I've heard the primary reason for the 416 was a desire for a brighter viewfinder and video tap. The magazines will not be compatable with SRs. It's a whole new design, but it won't put sr3s out of work. Logan Schneider dp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Tim Carroll Posted March 31, 2006 Premium Member Share Posted March 31, 2006 Funny they gave the name of a famous microphone ! I'm thinking 216 (not 416) because the article made it sound more like a Super 16mm version of the 235. -Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Robert Edge Posted March 31, 2006 Premium Member Share Posted March 31, 2006 No doubt you guys have noticed that 416 = for 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Tim Carroll Posted April 21, 2006 Premium Member Share Posted April 21, 2006 Looks like the offspring from a marriage of the A-Minima and the A-Cam. Looking forward to seeing it in person at NAB. -Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ian Marks Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 (edited) Isn't film supposed to be in its death throes? I never thought I'd see an all-new design for a 16mm camera again in my life, but I'm glad to be wrong! That coax mag looks small to me - is that a 200-footer?

I never thought I'd see an all-new design for a 16mm camera again in my life, but I'm glad to be wrong! That coax mag looks small to me - is that a 200-footer? The Fletcher specs say it is a 400 ft magazine, which leads me to believe it is probably a good step up in size from the A-Minima, as the Minima's mag is 200 ft. So just scale the picture up. Still not a big camera and they mention that it is good for shoulder shooting. Would love to have one. Wonder what it will sell for? -Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank DiBugnara Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 It looks like a small BL-4. I read the description on the Fletcher site and can't seem to figure out what is going to set it apart from an SR3 Advanced. The description says that it includes more of the features that are found with Arri's new 35mm cameras, but I'm not quite sure what those might be. The SR3 Advanced already comes with a tap like that found on a 435. The viewing system is very bright on the SR3A and the tap seems to be getting all the light it needs. 416 only goes to 75 fps. And the SR3A does speed ramps and hooks up to an RCU, etc....Perhaps there will be a lens data system? Slate on film? With the 416 you still have to change the shutter angle manually. Perhaps it is smaller and lighter than the SR3? It looks like it is more quiet. Any difference in the film gate or movement for a steadier image? I wonder if this is meant to be a replacement for the SR3? Is the SR3 still in production? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annie Wengenroth Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Film in its death throes? Wha? I'm wondering about the sound-dampening components and whether they are inside the camera or the mag. Hard to tell from the photos. I work at CSC...I'll keep you guys posted. We might not see one here in NYC until late fall, but who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Hayes Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 I took a look at the 416 last Wednesday. What an amazing viewing system. It is bright, sharp, and crystal clear. I felt like I was looking through a picture window. It?s very light and ergonomically designed. I wish I could adjust the shutter electronically to facilitate ramping and easy shutter changes. Arri decided not to do that to keep the cost down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
