ARRI Camera Accessories for Handheld HD Cameras

I had a chance to go over to ARRI in Burbank, California recently and spoke with Eric Johnston, Product Manager for their Professional Camera Accessories. Eric gave me a demo of their new MMB-1 Matte Box, MFF-1 Follow Focus and MBP-1 Baseplate designed specifically for the new generation of lower cost, lightweight HD cameras. People shooting with Sony’s EX-1, EX-3, Panasonic’s HVX-200 or soon to released PD-170 can now outfit their cameras with these accessories, which can be purchased individually or together as a kit.

    The video quality of your interview clips is astounding, thank you for these great interviews. I would just comment that the Arri’s spokeperson’s audio could have used a high-pass filter.

    Do you know if the FF has a standard accessory port and if the Matte box comes with a french flag?

    Regards

    Here’s the problem. I’m in Budapest filming a documentary with the EX1. The hand held balance of the ex 1 is already horrible. I’m looking for a solution that will allow rods to go behind the camera as well, so I can mount some Anton Bauer batteries and a shoulder pad or something to make the camera balanced for handheld. Some hybrid of the Zacuto and Red mounting system with your system is what I want.

    Will the MBP-1 Baseplate allow for longer 15mm rods to mount a Red or Zacuto plate on the back for Anton Bauer batteries?

    Also, does the MMB-1 Matte Box take a 4 1/2 round polarizer?

    When will the top and side flags be available for the Arri MMB-1? A bit ridiculous not to have them available yet while the mattebox is for sale.
