Arri 16S Video Assist

[Donald Riley]

Below is a video of a video assist on an Arri 16S. I know that such a thing exists, but they seem to be harder to find than gold. If anyone can give me any hope of finding one, please do.

Hi Donald,

That's not technically a video assist. That is just a video camera mounted on the Arriflex 16S viewfinder, in place of an eyepiece. A video assist is a video camera that can send a video signal to a monitor, but that does not interfere with the camera operator's ability to operate the camera while looking thru the viewfinder.

Best, -Tim
