Sourcing and building an Arri 3 low mode bracket

22 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.

What the thread found

  • The Arri 3 low mode bracket was manufactured by multiple people including one producer and another named DeRose, but is no longer in production
  • Only approximately 50 of these brackets were ever manufactured
  • Some versions of this bracket only functioned properly on about 60 percent of cameras, with compatibility varying based on camera modifications
  • A low mode bracket designed for Arri SR cameras is not suitable for Arri 3 cameras due to differences in video assist placement
  • Reference images and disassembled photographs of an original bracket can be used as guides for fabricating a reproduction

Depends on

  • The bracket is difficult to obtain and no longer manufactured
  • Compatibility issues existed even among original examples depending on specific camera configuration
  • The discussion does not establish which manufacturer's design is considered the definitive or most reliable version
