Magazines
6.1 Loading the Shoulder Magazine
Loading the magazine should be practised in daylight with a piece of test film until the procedure can also be carried out confidently in a darkroom or film changing bag.
Cutting the film through the middle of the perforation holes simplifies the loading process considerably. The ARRI Film Cutting Gauge ➪ photo simplifies cutting in the darkroom.
The following steps should be carried out in a darkroom or film changing bag!
•Remove the loop protector and lay the magazine on a flat surface with its cover facing upwards.
•To open the cover, depress the safety catch, flip up the locking grip and turn it
•Lift up the magazine cover and remove it by pulling the cover to the left.
