Shooting with the ARRI ALEXA Mini
The original ALEXA Mini is still one of the most requested bodies in our inventory, and for good reason — it is small enough to rig on a gimbal, a drone or a handheld build, but the image is the same ARRI image that has been shooting features for a decade. Super 35 coverage keeps your lens options wide and your rental budget sane. If you want the ARRI look without the large-format overhead, this is the body.
It is a favourite for gimbal and car work precisely because of its size and weight. If that is your plan, book the support package at the same time so we can make sure the build balances properly.
ARRI ALEXA Mini Rental FAQs
Can the ALEXA Mini be used on a gimbal?
Yes — its size and weight are a large part of why it stays popular for gimbal, drone and handheld work. Book your stabiliser with the camera and we will check the whole build balances before it leaves Burbank.
Does the ALEXA Mini shoot ARRIRAW?
Yes, alongside ProRes. Which you choose usually comes down to your post workflow and media budget — happy to talk that through when you book.
What is the minimum rental period?
Most of our camera rentals run on a standard day rate with discounts for weekly and multi-week bookings. Contact a rental agent for a quote on your specific dates.
