The Industry Standard, Now More Accessible

The ARRI ALEXA 35 Base Operator Set brings the world's leading digital cinema technology to a broader range of cinematographers. This Base model provides the exact same hardware, Super 35 sensor, and 17 stops of dynamic range as the Premium version, but at a more accessible entry point. It is the ideal foundation for professionals who require ARRI's legendary image quality with the flexibility to scale features as production needs evolve.

Unrivaled Image Quality and REVEAL Color Science

Equipped with the same sensor as the flagship model, the ALEXA 35 Base delivers 17 stops of dynamic range, outperforming any other digital cinema camera on the market. Combined with REVEAL Color Science, it ensures natural skin tones, smooth highlight roll-off, and exceptional color accuracy. With Enhanced Sensitivity modes reaching up to EI 6400, this camera excels in challenging low-light environments without compromising image integrity.

Scalable Performance via Feature Licensing

The Base model is designed to grow with your career. While the core feature set includes ProRes recording up to 60 fps in 4K 16:9, users can unlock specialized capabilities through temporary or permanent licenses. Available upgrades include:

• 120 fps License: Unlocks high-speed recording for all enabled formats.
• ARRIRAW License: Enables uncompressed recording for maximum post-production flexibility.
• Open Gate/Anamorphic License: Provides access to full sensor recording and anamorphic de-squeeze.

• Pre-record License: Captures up to 20 seconds of buffered footage before the record button is pressed.

Professional Monitoring and Workflow

The set includes the MVF-2 Viewfinder and the LPL Mount, ensuring a production-ready configuration out of the box. For recording, the new Codex Compact Drive Express optimizes ProRes workflows. With three independent 10-bit monitoring outputs supporting SDR and HDR color spaces (including Log C4 and Rec 2100), the ALEXA 35 Base integrates seamlessly into high-end production environments.
