ARRIFLEX 235 Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why does the LMS-1 (Low Mode Support) have two parallel horizontal plates for mounting?

A: Since the 235 was built with "as small as possible" in mind, we wanted to offer two options: if you just use the lower plate, the 235 is as low as possible without the viewfinder. The second plate can be used when the 235 should be used with the viewfinder, say for use with a jib and an upside-down fluid head for table-top work..
