Let us know what you think of the AMIRA down below! We've also noticed that I say 48Hz at 10:20 not KHz, sorry for the slip of the tongue! Jake

I thought this was going to be frame voyager, but you actually have the camera in hand

[clemensh]

You guys make watching what is basically an infomercial a really great experience.
Seriously, I am in awe of this kind of marketing, it is special.
It's fun to watch, interesting and it actually instills confidence in your skills and professional approach to camera gear.

I’d love to see a sort of retrospective on documentary cameras in the last decade, and showing the sort of productions they still get used in today

[SpencerGreeneDP]

Love my Amira, really considered stepping up to an Alexa Mini eventually but most Cinematographers I talk to say they’d stick with the Amira, fantastic camera for the price. The weight actually makes it incredibly stable, I’ve run after horses full speed hand held and it looks great.

Tiny nitpick… @9:40

Hirose (named after the Japanese company that made the connector) is pronounced “he-roh-seh”, like “hero-say”.

That said, “high rose” does sound elegant!

[MattiasSkoog]

A new Amira based of the Alexa 35, weight around 2-3 kg… that’s what I’m (and probably a million filmmakers) hoping for in the coming years. Actually, I’ll start saving for that now. Because - Arri won’t miss out on that opportunity right?

[davewerner]

Well done. Great camera that can actually be timeless in the right hands.

[CinemaSteve]

Amira is such a freakin awesome camera. Loved working with it.

[SoundSpeeding]

@11:11 I was amazed to learn this new fact about an audio feature of the AMIRA! 😮 You can connect your bluetooth headphones to it?? 😮

I shot with it for a year straight day in and out with a production that allowed me to accessorize as we went along for better run and gun performance. Apart from low light performance needing a boost, and it’s weight, it is the best documentary camera out there - bar none.

The Amira is the most rugged and well built piece of kit I have ever used. It just works like a charm and that image

[rickyang]

Arri Amira is my favorite camera, you can shoot anything and any type production on this camera. And more importantly, the price is acceptble for a freelance cinematographer.

[unclejezza]

Had it for 7 years, loved it and was happy to see the back of it. Too heavy! Couldn’t move it in the way you can with modern cameras.

[renaissancedigital]

Broke down and bought one. I think it is ARRI's best camera. If it had a side menu like the full sized Alexa it would be perfect. I really dislike needing the EVF, I have been using their webpage app to replace it. The Alexa 35 is close to perfect but I prefer the older sensor especially considering the power draw.

[cokebottles]

It's crazy how good these "old" cameras are. I love Red, but based only on the image quality, I'd always prefer to shoot on this than even the latest Raptor.

[chrisniswonger]

I truly wish they allowed open gate / 4:3 on the Amira. Then it would be the best cam 100%.

[timeallofgreatestthe]

Amira and Venice are the two best cameras ever made.

[viper]

used an amira a handful of times, out of anything the camera has the offer, its gotta be the media door that keeps me coming back, CHONK

[cvice]

Can't forget it is also the camera choice for NFL Films
