Built around a large-format 4K version of the original ALEXA sensor, the ARRI ALEXA Mini LF (LPL) camera in this Ready to Shoot V-Mount Set offers native 4K recording in three sensor modes, with ARRIRAW or ProRes recording in LF Open Gate, LF 16:9, or LF 2.39:1 mode. The ALEXA Mini LF combines large-format resolution with an optimal pixel size for excellent image quality producing vivid, nuanced images with natural skin tones and smooth bokeh. The ALEXA Mini LF is designed with ARRI’s LPL lens mount that has been optimized for large-format capture and is compatible with all PL-mount lenses with the use of a PL-to-LPL adapter. A wider diameter and shorter flange focal depth than the original ARRI PL mount enable LPL-mount lenses to be smaller and lighter than earlier large-format optics.
The ALEXA Mini LF is a hybrid of the ALEXA Mini and the ALEXA LF, as it retains the same LF sensor but has the form factor of the Mini. The new exterior has a left-side media bay with two rows of connectors on the back and a slot to insert 1TB Codex media. It also features six user buttons, three more than the Mini, to configure to your preference. It also features extra 12 and 24V power outputs and a black burst/tri-level input. The audio connector is now 6-pin, so it doesn’t conflict with the 5-pin timecode port.
This Ready to Shoot V-Mount Set includes everything you need to get up and shooting with the ALEXA Mini LF such as the PL-to-LPL adapter, two 1TB Codex drives, a viewfinder, side and rear brackets, accessory and bridge plates, a V-mount battery power splitter box, and connection cables.

The ARRI LPL Lens Mount enables you to attach an LPL-mount lens to an ARRI ALEXA Mini or AMIRA camera. Compatible with the ARRI large-format Signature Primes and future LPL-mount lenses, this mount transmits ARRI LDS-1, LDS-2, and Cooke /i Technology lens data from compatible lenses.
The LPL lens mount features a wider diameter and requires a shorter flange focal depth than the original PL mount. Three blue levers on the LPL mount distinguish it visually from a standard PL mount.
The ARRI PL-to-LPL Lens Adapter enables you to attach a PL-mount lens to the ARRI ALEXA LF camera. Compatible with any PL-mount lens, Super 35 or full-frame, this adapter can be securely fastened to your lens without the use of tools.
Use the ARRI MVB-1 Viewfinder Mounting Bracket to mount the MVF-1 electronic viewfinder to an ALEXA Mini camera. This bracket provides adjustable positioning of the EVF via 15mm LWS rods and the viewfinder mount. The separately available MAP-2 adapter plate is required for 15mm rod support on the ALEXA Mini.
Expand your options for mounting HD camera accessories like monitors, transmitters, mic holders, French flags, etc., on your ARRI camera rig by using the ARRI CCH-2 Center Camera Handle. This sturdy carrying handle screws onto a UAP-2 adapter plate (available separately), and features multiple 3/8″-16 and 1/4″-20 threaded holes for attaching accessories. Designed for use with ALEXA M, ALEXA Mini, and AMIRA cameras, it will also work with many ARRI accessory-equipped third-party cameras.
The Mini Side Bracket MSB-2 from ARRI is a cage-style component compatible with the ALEXA Mini and the right side of the ALEXA Mini LF. This bracket’s single rod holder enables lens motor support for lightweight handheld or drone rigs lacking a baseplate rod bracket. The MSB-2 bracket offers native 19mm rod support and 15mm rod support using a separately available bushing.
The MSB-2 bracket incorporates several 1/4″-20 and anti-twist 3/8″-16 threads for mounting accessories. An integrated rosette enables the mounting of a separately available handgrip or handle.
The ARRI Compact Bridge Plate CBP-1 19mm provides a lightweight option for mounting 19mm Studio-standard accessories to your ALEXA Mini camera. A sliding balance mechanism and quick release system offer the adjustability of a studio bridge plate at a reduced weight.
Features include right and left rosettes, front 19mm Studio rod support, and a built-in, contoured shoulder pad. Use the CBP-1 19mm bridge plate to mount camera accessories onto a pair of separately available rods or onto the ARRI-standard rosettes.
The ARRI Rear Accessory Bracket RAB-1 is designed to mount accessories like battery plates or power-splitting boxes to the ALEXA Mini camera body. This curved bracket screws onto the camera providing a rib-like structure on which to attach a power solution. Use the RAB-1 bracket with the separately available RAB-1 Clamp to attach an ARRI Power Splitting Box, or a BAP-1 Battery Adapter Plate.
Use the Rod Mounting Bracket (RMB-3) from ARRI to support a single, standard 19mm rod for mounting a lens motor, lightweight EVF bracket, etc. to your camera or cage rig. When used with a separately available insert, the RMB-3 can be used to support a 15mm rod. A mounted rod is easily secured using the thumb lever on this screw-in bracket.
