Unboxing my new Arri Alexa 35 cinema camera

It is time to upgrade my trusty Arri Amira camera for the new ARRI ALEXA 35.

Congrats Dom! Enjoy the camera, can't wait to see what you do with it!

Thanks for posting this, Dom! There's so little information on camera gear once you approach the top. I bought a RED V-Raptor X at the beginning of this year, and it's wonderful, but the Alexa 35 has me really drooling as well. What a marvel of engineering. Thanks for sharing your joy and your toys.

I rarely get jealous, but seeing you unbox that beast, i

I am so stoked to see some sports footage from the 35!

Congrats Dom! The new sensor in the 35 is just beautiful 🤤

That camera is beautiful. I'm waiting for my stock picks to go up 20x so that i can buy a brand new Arri Alexa.

Hey Dom. I shoot a lot of sports/sports doc work, as well. I replaced the production handle and VF arm with the lightweight handle(LCH-1), the UAP-3 top plate, the LWS-6 15mm rod holder and run the VF like I do on my Amira with the MVB-1 on a set of 6" rods. Allows me to push the 35 all the way to the back of the shoulder mount to balance out with my 17-120 and 25-250 and push the VF far enough forward to be in the right spot. And as a bonus it looks and feels like a much cleaner build vs. with the production handle and "double dog bone" VF arm.

When I reached out to my dealer to order the pieces(after only having the camera for maybe a day), they said they had several people doing the same thing, because they didn't like the VF arm, either.

Cant wait to see the footage so excited for you!!!

[SuperPhunThyme]

Dude just bought a G-Wagon of a camera

[bradenbeck]

I can't wait to see the footage coming from this thing! Congrats Dom.
What's the plan with the Amira?

Oh man Dom Congrats!!! Such a beautiful cinema camera. I’m really thinking about selling my red and getting an Arri. Now that Nikon bought Red. Can’t see Red lasting very long. This is Troy lol

[TylerGajewski]

And my gear envy continues to grow. Can't wait to see what you do with this beaut!

[EugeneMaynard]

A great investment! Enjoy your new toolset! 👍🏾🙏🏾 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇸🇪🇹🇹

Enjoy your Alexa 35, it is by far the greatest camera I have used (and own). It will not disappoint you. What batteries are you getting? I went with Bebob (solid performers).

Hey Dom! Have you see new release from DJI? The DJI Focus Pro ? If so, would love your thoughts for filming sports! Seems great if you are shooting a single person but not sure on an complex scene like sports and football

[MrTedTed]

Question . Since you use cinema glass for sports, when looking through the viewfinder do you use peaking throughout the action to nail focus ? Or what do you do for peak action? (Not stationary subjects)

[careyhiggins-dobney]

Congrats, Dom. Once it's all batteried up, about how heavy is the rig with your lenses?

[uztginu]

Dom, how is your back with shooting with the amira handheld/shoulder day in and out?

thanks!

Hey dom ! I’m another video you mentioned that the Fujinon 85-300 can be used with an extender . Can you tell me which extender is that exactly ? I can’t find it listed on B&H
