Arricam camera power requirements and physical characteristics compared to other film cameras
22 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- The Arricam uses the same power connectors and on/off switch as the Arricam 435, 535, and SR3 models.
- Two Hytrion batteries are sufficient to power the Arricam.
- The video tap output on the Arricam is notably bright compared to other film cameras with video monitoring.
- The Arricam ST studio version is larger and heavier than a BL4 camera, particularly when not equipped with Steadicam adapters.
- The Arricam ST has a higher profile and wider footprint than a BL4.
Depends on
- Information comes from someone who used the studio version with video tap, which may not reflect performance of other Arricam variants.
- The weight and size characteristics are noted as problematic only in the context of studio version without Steadicam equipment.
- No detailed specifications provided about power consumption rates or run times.
