Packing and Transport

The camera should be stored in the sturdy ARRI transport case with the magazine attached, without the lens, the viewfinder extension, or the on-board battery. The video camera and the anti flicker processor should be removed for transport or shipping purposes. The AC/DC converter can stay on the camera. There are compartments for two on-board batteries and the viewfinder extension. An adjustable compartment enables storage of further equipment such as the bridge plate or an additional magazine. A compartment in the case lid is designed to hold the bridge plate support rods 440mm (19").

Tripod Heads

The ARRIHEAD 2 with its compact construction is ideally suited to the ARRIFLEX 16SR 3. The hydro- heads ARRI 150 H, ARRI 150 M and ARRI 100 L can be used as well.

Bridge Plate BP-6

The bridge plate allows quick mounting and balancing of the fully-equipped ARRIFLEX 16SR 3 system on the tripod.

The bridge plate consists of the base plate ,

sliding upper plate and support rods . The standard length of the support rods is 440 mm (19"). Support rods of 240 mm (9") length are available. A quickly atachable wedge plate allows mounting of the system without the base plate on the tripod or the ARRIHEAD 2.

For changing from Normal 16 to Super 16 the revers- ible, center-mounting plate on the upper sliding plate must be reversed to the appropriate position. See chapter 8.

For mounting see next page.
