FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
- Diopter frame and stage make close-up work easier
- Crew supplies include unit bags, pouches and gloves
NAB, Las Vegas – ARRI announces new diopter options and versatile on-set crew supplies, expanding the company’s PCA range of Pro Camera Accessories.
DIOPTER ACCESSORIES
A new ARRI frame and stage are being introduced for mounting 138 mm close-up diopters, as well as an adapter that also permits 4.5” diopters to be used with either.
Diopter Frame 138 mm
The diopter frame allows 138 mm diopters of up to +2 to be used in a lightweight matte box such as the ARRI LMB-25. The frame has the width of two 4” x 5.65” filter frames and fits into a 2- or 3-filter stage. A safety mechanism prevents the diopter from falling out of the frame during exchange, while two 1⁄4” threads permit the frame to be attached to an articulating arm.
Diopter Stage 138 mm
The diopter stage can be used at the back of a 4” x 5.65” clip-on matte box, or independently with a rear-mounted clamp adapter. Diopters up to +3 can be fitted, and the position of split diopters can be adjusted with an integrated friction wheel. As with the diopter frame, a safety device and 1⁄4” mounting threads are included.
CREW SUPPLIES
This special collection of ARRI-branded unit bags, pouches, belts and gloves is the best way to look after yourself and your equipment during a shoot. Order lists can be compiled on the ARRI website, allowing you to configure the supplies that will meet your specific on-set storage and protection needs.
