Focus pulling on ARRI Trinity: G-Zoom for broadcast lenses versus focus amplifier for cinema lenses
Note (as of October 2026)Curt O. Schaller, the developer of Artemis and Trinity, has no longer been with ARRI since the end of 2025. To our knowledge, ARRI currently has no dedicated team and no official contact persons for its stabilizer systems. In our view, the future of this line is uncertain. If you are buying new, get written confirmation from ARRI beforehand on how long service and spare parts are guaranteed. Have used rigs checked by the manufacturer before you buy.
What the thread found
- The appropriate focus solution for ARRI Trinity depends on whether the rig is equipped with broadcast or cinema lenses.
- For Trinity 1 with broadcast lenses, operators should inquire with the manufacturer about the G-Zoom Trinity Edition.
- For cinema lenses on Trinity, a focus amplifier with an analog motor from the same manufacturer enables manual focus pulling.
Depends on
- Solution depends on Trinity generation (T1 or T2) and lens type (broadcast versus cinema).
