Equipment for sale in the ARRI Approved CPO program is rigorously inspected and technically refurbished with the utmost care.

All products receive the latest software version and a final function test. Only then are they released for sale by ARRI. All ARRI CPO products come directly from the manufacturer and with warranty.
