ARRIFLEX 416 Plus

The ARRIFLEX 416 Plus HS is a lightweight, modern Super16 film camera with a 35-style viewfinder and an amazingly low sound level similar to that of the ARRICAM. Its speed range is from 1 to 150 fps and its mirror shutter can be manually adjusted from 45 to 180 degrees.

To capture the images you want, you have first to see them clearly. So viewfinder quality is crucial if an operator is to accurately appraise images, especially with 16 mm. The optical viewfinder on the 416 cameras makes it easy to judge focus, create a precise image composition, and work comfortably and efficiently.

The viewfinder optics have been redesigned from the ground up, incorporating fewer lens elements of higher quality and a shorter optical path. The results are significantly higher contrast, higher resolution and a brighter image. With the 416 cameras, judging focus on the set becomes a lot easier, and unpleasant surprises during dailies a lot less likely.

The 416 cameras' viewfinder ergonomics are based on the ARRIFLEX 235 viewfinder so they share the same freedom of movement and features.

The 416 weight has been reduced by an amazing 25% in comparison to the 16SR 3, when comparing a configuration including body, viewfinder, IVS and magazine. When comparing the 416 Plus to a 16SR 3 with UMC-3, the difference is even greater. The 416 cameras' shape has been designed to make them as compact as possible and to give them a low profile. At the same time shape and weight are perfectly balanced for comfortable shoulder operation.

The cameras can be removed from a zoom lens/tripod configuration in two quick steps: open the lens mount, split the bridgeplate and the camera slides off. The second assistant can then dismantle the zoom lens while the operator is already shooting handheld.
