ARRI Master Grip Overview

The ARRI MLW-1 Master Grip Left Wheel Basic Set for ALEXA Mini provides left-handed lens and camera control when using prime lenses on an ARRI ALEXA Mini camera. This Master Grip combination includes an MLW-1 Master Grip Left Wheel, an SGR-1 Standard Right Grip (non-electronic), handgrip accessories, and an LBUS cable.

ARRI Standard Grip Right SGR-1

The ARRI Standard Grip Right SGR-1 is a lightweight, non-electronic handgrip. With basically the same ergonomic design as the ARRI Master Grips, the SGR-1 will comfortably complement a Master Grip Left Rocker or Wheel.

The SGR-1 incorporates a standard ARRI rosette for attaching to a handgrip extension, rod bridge support, or directly to the camera body.

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 left-handed wheel 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.
Compatibility
  • Compatible with ARRI ALEXA, AMIRA, and third-party cameras, the Master Grips enable you to control multiple functions while also adding stability to your shoulder-mounted capture.
  • Offers EF, ENG, and cine-style lens control.
  • The Master Grips provide flexible and responsive fingertip lens and camera control.
  • Note that the LCUBE CUB-1 is required for third-party camera control (available separately).
Hi-5 and WCU-4 Use
  • Split control for trickier moves between two users with zoom assigned to your Master Grip and focus and iris relegated to your WCU-4 hand unit.
  • The Master Grips can even override the Hi-5 or WCU-4 unit when an operator has a better sense of the shot than the A.C.
Device Setup
  • Set up your Master Grips using the touchscreen interface or the 5-way joystick.
  • Buttons are user assignable for customized control.
LBUS Interface
Two LBUS ports provide an interface for your camera and lens connections.
Handgrip Form
  • An integrated shield both protects against accidental triggering and acts as a finger rest.
  • This Master Grip's adjustable-speed thumb wheel provides focus and iris adjustments, allowing you to control your shot just the way you like.
