ARRI Alexa 35 Base Production Set (LPL, MVF, 19mm)

The New Standard in Cinematography: ARRI ALEXA 35 Base

The ARRI ALEXA 35 Base Production Set brings the industry-leading image quality of the ALEXA 35 to a broader range of filmmakers. This model features the same groundbreaking hardware and Super 35 sensor as the Premium version, delivering an unmatched 17 stops of dynamic range and the advanced REVEAL Color Science. Designed for versatility, the Base model provides a professional core feature set that can be expanded through a flexible licensing system.

Uncompromised Image Quality

Despite its accessible entry point, the ALEXA 35 Base makes no compromises on performance. It captures stunning visuals with 1.5 stops more latitude in highlights and a deeper roll-off in shadows than previous systems. With REVEAL Color Science and Enhanced Sensitivity modes up to EI 6400, this camera excels in challenging lighting conditions, providing the signature ARRI look that professionals demand.

Core Features and Recording

The Base model is optimized for everyday production needs, offering ProRes recording up to 60 fps in 4K 16:9. It supports ARRI Look Files (CDL and 3D LUT) and features three independent 10-bit monitoring outputs in both SDR and HDR color spaces. Recording is streamlined via the new Codex Compact Drive Express, ensuring reliable data management for high-resolution workflows.

Future-Proof Licensing System

The ALEXA 35 Base is built to grow with your career. Through ARRI’s innovative licensing concept, users can unlock specialized features as needed. Licenses are available for temporary or permanent use, including:

• 120 fps License: Unlocks maximum frame rates for all enabled formats.
• ARRIRAW License: Enables uncompressed recording for total post-production flexibility.
• Open Gate/Anamorphic License: Supports full sensor use and anamorphic de-squeeze.
• Look License: Grants access to ARRI Textures and the full Look Library.

By combining these licenses, the Base model can be fully upgraded to match the Premium model's capabilities, providing a scalable investment for owner-operators and production houses.
