Welcome to the latest episode of our weekly roundup of news from the TV and film industry.

This week we are covering the new ALEXA 35 accessories, which make it possible for camera operators to use ALEXA 35 compact base plates on ALEXA Mini LF and ALEXA Mini, the new Elite Accessories for the Sony BURANO from Wooden Camera, as well as the latest DaVinci Resolve 18.6.3 update.


New ARRI Accessories for ALEXA 35, ALEXA Mini LF, and ALEXA Mini

ARRI has announced new accessories making it easier to use the new ALEXA 35 baseplates on the Mini LF and Alexa Mini. This is all possible thanks to three new accessories - the BUD 3, or Balance Utility Dovetail, the RAB-3 and MAP-4. The newly announced accessories share the same design language as the latest ALEXA 35 base plates such as a lightweight, but rugged and durable construction designed to work in unison with both the latest and ALEXA 35 and also the previous Mini LF and ALEXA Mini. These accessories make it more convenient to swap between a tripod setup and a gimbal for example or another camera stabilising system. As an authorised ARRI dealer, we are delighted to see ARRI making their ALEXA 35 accessories more compatible with other ALEXA cameras, which is something a lot our ALEXA 35 owners have been asking for.


Wooden Camera Sony BURANO Elite Accessories System

And just like they did with the ALEXA 35 and VENICE 2, Wooden Camera have are bringing the new Sony BURANO to their Elite Accessory System. This modular accessory system has been designed to give cinematographers the freedom to design their rig based on their needs including versatile options to mount the camera EVF in different positions, adding more options to power accessories via the D-Box and even more mounting options for accessories via the modular cage system. The ARCA base plate also allows camera operators to quickly switch between tripod and gimbal or Steadicam setups.
