ARRI Master Grips: Comprehensive Handheld Control
The ARRI Master Grip series combines handheld camera stabilization with comprehensive lens and camera control. With a form factor based on the classic ARRI handgrips, the Master Grips add flexible and responsive fingertip control for handheld shooting. Aimed at ALEXA, AMIRA, and third-party camera operators, the Master Grips can also be mounted on tripod pan handles, and on pedestal heads for controlling cameras in studio or multicamera setups.
Fingertip Control
FIZ and Run/Stop Functions
A pair of Master Grips provide full control of focus, iris, and zoom settings on cine-style lenses, and offer comfortable control of integrated servo motors on ENG- and EF-type lenses. Focus, iris, and zoom speeds are adjustable, and end limits can be set for easier single-user moves. Camera controls include the REC function and access to user buttons for both ARRI and third-party cameras. A separately available LCUBE CUB-1 is required for third-party camera control.
Ergonomic Design
The ergonomic design of the Master Grips reduces strain, enabling extended handheld operating; an "eyebrow"-type shield protects against accidental triggering and doubles as a finger rest. The right-handed rocker is one of four available Master Grip options that can be combined in right- or left-handed pairs. The rocker grips enable super-smooth zooming, while the thumb wheels are suited for focusing or iris, or adjustments. An integrated touchscreen and a 5-way joystick each offer easy setup of the ARRI Master Grips.
