ARRI TRUE BLUE

Top Latch

True Blue offers two new designs of top latch to suit the application. The Studio Top Latch is simple and easy to use and can be turned completely out of the way to load and unload accessories. The Location Top Latch is specially coated for improved corrosion resistance and is sprung loaded for fast operation even when hot. Both versions feature a second safety catch to eliminate the need for a barndoor safety bond.

Stegmaier Connector*

We’ve named this component after its inventor and the principal designer of ARRI TRUE BLUES. With this combination connector and strain relief, the power cable can be quickly reoriented for stand mount or hanging fixtures. In addition, the connector, along with ARRI’s new lampholder, allows us to eliminate the interior terminal block.

Sliding Stirrup

Modern fixtures use a wide variety of Chimeras, scrollers and other front mounted accessories. Simply slide ARRI’s innovative stirrup bracket to quickly and easily adjust the fixture’s centre of gravity.

* Due to the smaller size of the fixture, the sliding stirrup is not used on the T1.

Tilt Lock

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 two-position TRUE BLUE accessory brackets quickly adjust in or out for two or four scrims. By reducing the space between the scrims and the lens, unwanted reflected and spill light is minimised.

Maintenance

TRUE BLUE fixtures have been designed for serviceability with more common parts across the line. Removing a maximum of 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 aluminium 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. 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.

Stirrup Contour

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

Improved Weather Protection/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).

Safety Certification

All True Blue fixtures carry not only CE declaration but also an independently assessed TUV certification.

ARRI’s new design creates a positive lock so there’s no slippage when using heavy accessories. A stainless steel friction disc functions like a disc brake allowing the lamphead to be completely locked off with a minimum of force.

*Due to the smaller size of the fixture, the friction disc tilt lock is not used on the T1.

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