Why Crews Pick It
FITS ALMOST ANYWHERE
Small size lets you shoot where other cinema cameras can’t go
FLIES LIKE A DREAM
Light enough for drones but still shoots full cinema-quality video
SAME FAMOUS ARRI LOOK
Matches bigger ARRI cameras, so shots cut together perfectly
CRASH-PROOF TOUGH
Built to take hits when used for crash cams and risky shots
Who Uses It
Film crews grab the Mini when size matters, but image quality can’t drop. It’s the go-to for gimbal shots, drone work, car mounts, crash cams, and tight spaces. Directors love it when they need to hide cameras or get angles the big rigs can’t reach.
Bottom Line
The ALEXA Mini costs as much as a nice car but saves shots that would be impossible with bigger cameras. It’s not just a tiny ARRI – it’s the same famous image quality packed into a box you can hold in one hand. For crews needing top-notch images and extreme flexibility, the Mini breaks down size limits without breaking bank accounts.
