ARRI AMIRA - Crash Course In 6 Minutes

In this video you'll learn how to set up and operate the Arri Amira camera. Many filmmakers are intimidated by cinema cameras like Arri and RED, but these cameras are often much more user-friendly and intuitive than others.
First, I show you a timelapse of a basic camera build with all the most common accessories you'll mount to it, including an external Small HD monitor, a Tilta Nucleus follow focus, and a Teradek wireless video transmitter.
From there, I show you how to adjust the basic camera settings including the framerate, shutter speed, ISO, and white balance. Then I dive deeper into the menu settings to show you how to format a memory card, change your project settings, and customize the user buttons. Just the basics, but that should be enough to get you started!
If you have any questions, feel free to leave them in the comments and I'll be happy to help out!

Thanks for sharing. Owned a 4:3 Alexa. Lots of people are picking these Amira’s up now as the price as dropped significantly.

Where can I get a rundown of all the license variations on the Alexa?

[@memphiscameraman]

no mention of audio at all?

Great video! Is the Amira lighter feeling than the full-size Alexa? I used to own a full-size Alexa classic and it was back breaking just to handle on a daily basis. I love that I can plug in the XLR audio straight into the camera with the Amira. Thanks.

The Amira is a few pounds lighter than the Alexa classic. But it's still about 4kg without batteries, lenses, and accessories, so it doesn't feel light weight by any means. Especially compared to today's standards with cameras like the Komodo coming in at less than 1kg.

Is there any drawback of the Amira over the Alexa?

[@adambobroy1958]

just bigger , no 4:3,

Your O'Connor tripod, is it a 100mm bowl or 150?
