The ARRI 416 is a Super 16 film camera that blends the tactile beauty of analog cinematography with the ergonomic and operational familiarity of modern 35mm systems. The 416 features a PL mount, variable frame rates from 1 to 75 fps, and a quiet, crystal-controlled movement optimized for sync sound. It accepts both standard and Super 16 lenses and magazines, and features adjustable shutter angles (up to 180°), precise through-the-lens metering, and ARRI’s signature build quality. The camera supports both internal and external battery configurations and is compatible with a broad range of 35mm accessories, making it a seamless choice for film productions looking to leverage smaller formats without sacrificing quality or control.

The camera comes with both an SD (standard-definition) video tap and an HD (high-definition) video tap, The SD tap provides a composite or BNC output ideal for basic monitoring or traditional onboard systems, commonly used for director’s view or simple video assist. The HD tap, however, offers a cleaner, higher-resolution signal—typically via HD-SDI—providing more accurate image feedback for focus pulling, exposure assessment, and on-set monitoring workflows. This dual configuration allows flexibility depending on the scale of production and monitoring requirements, bridging the analog and digital worlds in a practical and cinematic workflow.
