If you haven’t heard of this great initiative by ARRI, you should definitely check it out now, because there are new and fresh cameras in stock. Yes, you can buy a certified ARRI camera for about $13,000 including all essential accessories.
ARRI is ARRI. When it comes to image quality, artistic look, and super reliable camera, ARRI is probably the ultimate tool for the job.
However, they are expensive. Very expensive, even when comparing to RED cameras. Until the CPO (Certified Pre-Owned) program, you didn’t have much choice but to rent them. Fortunately, now you can buy them.
The ARRI Approved Certified Pre-Owned
The cameras offered by the CPO undergo certification process which includes overall refurbishment. During this process the ARRI service center performs a thorough check of parameters, including image sensor quality, recording functions, connectors, flange focal distance, audio system, and ARRI Lens Control System. The overhaul also includes an update to the latest Software Update Packet (SUP) of the respective model. Repairs are performed as required if any malfunctions are detected. Before the ARRI Certificate of Approval is issued, the equipment goes through the same Final Function Test as new cameras, ensuring it meets the high standards expected of it. Once all functions have been checked and approved, ARRI engineers issue an official printed certificate, and a one-year warranty.
