The ARRI AMIRA is a camera designed for shoulder work (documentaries, reportage, events and reality formats), yet with an image that matches the ALEXA. The ALEV III sensor offers 14+ stops of dynamic range and the same color as the ALEXA Mini, so footage from both cameras can be cut together without issues.
Ergonomic shoulder balance, quick access to controls from both sides of the camera and internal ND filters make the AMIRA a reliable tool for one operator or a smaller crew. Recording Apple ProRes to CFast 2.0 cards is fast and hassle-free for editing.
