Lights, camera, action! ARRI is making film and video dreams come true by making ALEXA cameras more accessible to filmmakers working on a budget. And we’re not just talking about a small discount here and there. ARRI has announced a new program that offers pre-owned cameras at prices ranging from $12,000 to $17,000. That’s a steal compared to their usual price point!
But don’t worry, these cameras aren’t just any old hand-me-downs. ARRI has put their “stamp of approval” on each one. During the certification process, the ARRI service center performs a thorough check of parameters, including image sensor quality, recording functions, connectors, flange focal distance, audio system, and ARRI Lens Control System. The overhaul also includes an update to the latest Software Update Packet (SUP) of the respective model. Repairs are performed as required if any malfunctions are detected. Before the ARRI Certificate of Approval is issued, the equipment goes through the same Final Function Test as new cameras, ensuring it meets the high standards expected of it. Once all functions have been checked and approved, ARRI engineers issue an official printed certificate, which will come with every camera you buy from them.
Right now, there are only a few cameras available, but we’re sure the stock will increase over time. This program is a big step forward for indie and low-budget filmmaking. So, if you’re a filmmaker on a budget, keep an eye out for additional pre-owned cameras here.
