ARRI Master Grips – Touch Screen Handgrips for Ultimate Handheld Control

by Adam PlowdenSeptember 12^th, 2016

ARRI Master Grips give you fingertip control of camera functions and servo zooming for handheld and shoulder mount filming.

As cameras and setups get more and more compact, the need for external controls for settings and recording gets larger. The Master Grips combine cinema style hand grips with documentary style tools such as a zoom rocker, focus dial, recording and iris control.

The hand grips are made of magnesium and are ergonomically designed to minimise accidental adjustment of the settings, which can be custom set:

• Full control of iris, focus, zoom.
• Adjustable motor speed and zoom response and motor limit.
• Control for compatible servo zoom ENG and EF lenses.

For tripod based setups like for live events, the grips can also be used on pan-tilt arms as a remote focus and zooming, including multi-cam setups using the AMIRA Multicam mode.

The user interface for the settings is via two multi-lingual touchscreen LCD displays, and by physical buttons which provide a digital status readout.

There are a wide range of compatible accessories including handgrip extenders, pan arm adapters and rod mounting adapter for the AMIRA, just to name a few.

The Arri Master Grips will be available to purchase from CVP, and for more information visit Arri’s PCA Website.
