ARRI TRUE BLUE

Top Latch

Sometimes simple and reliable is the best answer. The new ARRI spring loaded Top Latch lifts and turns completely out of the way to load and unload scrims and barndoors, then pivots back into its locked position.

Adjustable Accessory Brackets

Finally an easy solution to an old problem. Location crews need space in the accessory bracket for up to four scrims; studio crews suffer from the light leak this creates. Now TRUE BLUE accessory brackets quickly adjust for two or four scrim use.

Maintenance

TRUE BLUE fixtures have been designed for serviceability with more common parts across the line. Removing six universal Torx screws provides easy access to all interior parts. TRUE BLUES require only three Torx drivers to disassemble the complete fixture.

ARRI’s new aluminum extrusion makes cleaning fixtures easy and our new paint process ensures that TRUE BLUES will look as great as they perform.

Barndoors

New ARRI barndoors use a special alloy with a high strength-to-weight ratio. Although lighter in weight, the leaves in our new design withstand bending and deforming far better than traditional barndoors. In addition, leaves are now easily tightened to avoid slipping and the larger leaf design provides better control and sharper cutoff.

IP23

TRUE BLUE fixtures are manufactured to the IP23 standard and are suitable for indoor use or outdoor use providing a degree of protection against falling rain (up to a 60˚ angle from vertical).

Stainless Steel Lens Protection

The laser cut hexagonal safety mesh maximizes light transmission and is tough enough to withstand location abuse.

Stirrup Contour

Easy to carry, ARRI’s new aluminum extrusion stirrup is smooth, incredibly strong and extremely lightweight.
