The ARRI Center Camera Handle CCH-5 mounts onto the top of your camera using the optional LMS-4 low-mode support plate and provides a comfortable, stable top handle for the ALEXA 35 cinema camera. The full-size handle mounts quickly and easily without tools using a large captive thumb lever. It is compatible with various gimbal top plates and provides multiple accessory threads to mount front/rear HEB/HEX handle extensions, VF mounting brackets, rod mounts, and more.
The ARRI Viewfinder Mounting Bracket VMB-5 is designed to mount a viewfinder onto your ARRI camera and provide a longer extension than standard viewfinder mounts. Its friction clamp provides quick and easy 360° rotation by using a simple thumbscrew. The VMB-5 is compatible with all ARRI viewfinder extension brackets and viewfinder adapters. The bracket requires the SAS-1 Square Accessory Sleeve for attachment to a camera.
ARRI SAS-1 Square Accessory Sleeve (required)
Mount your VMB-5 viewfinder bracket onto your ALEXA 35 cinema camera rig with the ARRI Square Accessory Sleeve SAS-1. This square mount is shaped so the optional VMB-5 bracket doesn't fall when loosening and adjusting. It mounts onto any plate, accessory, or cage with two M4 threads that are 20mm apart, such as the CCH-5 center top handle.
The ARRI Articulated Mounting Plate AMP-1 provides accessory mounting for your ALEXA 35 cinema camera without blocking access to the camera's ports. The plate is hinged and provides up/down adjustment for the best position. Multiple 1/4"-20, 3/8"-16, and M4 threads are available to mount a variety of accessories such as wireless transmitters, extensions, or focus motors.
The compact, lightweight ARRI Compact Bridge Plate CBP-5 is designed for use with the ALEXA 35 cinema camera and provides a sliding bridge plate and a shoulder pad. The bridge plate mounts onto the BUD-1 utility dovetail, and its sliding function provides balance and support, especially when using long lenses. The quick release system has been improved from previous bridge plate models, and it also allows lifting the camera straight off the dovetail. It features 19mm Studio rod ports and supports both 15mm LWS and 19mm studio rods as an option.

Less is more when you're lugging your rig around, so opt for this 12" Bottom Dovetail Plate from ARRI with a weight-reducing cutout design for balancing your camera setup. This updated dovetail offers a medium travel range suitable for prime lenses, and it sports several features that distinguish it from earlier models.
Safety release buttons are located both at the front and back of the dovetail. The front release is especially helpful when using accessories like lens motors that may hang below the level of the baseplate, preventing an easy backward slide off the dovetail. Two removable stopper screws provide additional security when desired and can be parked on the plate when not in use.
Constructed of a robust aluminum alloy, this dovetail has built-in 3/8"-16 and 1/4"-20 threads for mounting on a tripod or quick release plate.
