When paired with the Tobin TXM-21Ab crystal motor and TMC2 controller, it transforms from a variable-speed handheld unit into a precision tool capable of flicker-free filming and frame-accurate timing. [1, 2, 3] Arri 2C Camera Features (4-Perf S35) Optics & Shutter: Features a 180° spinning mirror reflex shutter, allowing the operator to see exactly what the lens sees without parallax. Movement: Uses a single-claw pull-down with registration action (cam-driven) to ensure image steadiness. Format: The "S35" designation indicates it has been modified with a wider Super 35 gate, expanding the usable negative area compared to standard Academy 35mm. Lens Mount: Historically featured a three-lens turret, though many Super 35 versions are modified with a permanent "hard front" PL mount for more secure lens attachment. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] Tobin TXM-21Ab Crystal Motor This motor replaces the original Arri wild motor to provide precise crystal-controlled speeds, essential for shooting under flicker-prone lighting like HMIs. [1, 2] Crystal Speeds: Includes a six-position rotary switch for standard speeds such as 12, 24, 25, 30, 40, and 50 FPS. Connectivity: Features an RJ-12 or Fischer 11-pin socket to connect external controllers like the TMC2. Sync Alarm: Includes a light to warn if the camera is running out of sync or if the battery voltage is too low. [1, 2, 3, 4] Tobin TMC2 Milliframe Controller [1] The TMC2 is an external accessory that provides advanced digital control over the motor. [1] Precision Control: Allows for speed adjustments in .001 FPS ("milliframe") increments, which is critical for filming computer monitors or video screens without a rolling shutter bar. Digital Display: Features a bright LED readout that functions as both a tachometer (speed display) and a footage/meter counter. Phase Button: Allows the operator to "shift" the shutter bar position while filming monitors to ensure it is hidden from the frame. [1, 2] Typical Kit Specifications Feature [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] Details Film Capacity 200 ft or 400 ft magazines Power Requirement Usually 12V DC for standard speeds; higher speeds may require 24V Weight Approx. 8.5 lbs for the body and wild motor Operating Mode MOS (Not "silent"; requires a blimp for sync sound recording) DISCLAIMER: The Arriflex 2C has been used for high-speed, overcranked filming throughout its history, though pushing it to 140 fps (or over 80–100 fps) typically requires specific equipment configurations. High-Speed Capability: The standard Arri 2C often has a tachometer that goes well beyond 80 fps, and high-speed versions are capable of running at very high frame rates, making it possible to achieve speeds in that range. Usage in Action: The Arri 2C is renowned for its reliability in demanding, rugged situations, including car crashes and high-impact shots, because of its robust gear-driven mechanism. Historical Use: The Arri 2C was used as a main camera for many feature films in the 1960s, and its ruggedness made it a popular choice for specialized, high-speed, or MOS (Motor Only Sync - no sound) photography. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] Considerations for 140 FPS on a 2C: Motor Requirements: A high-speed motor is necessary to achieve speeds well over 60–80 fps. Power and Stability: Running at such high speeds requires high voltage and a very stable setup to ensure the motor can handle the stress. Noise and Vibration: At high speeds, the camera is extremely loud and generates significant vibration. Film Stock & Lighting: Shooting at 140 fps means a very high shutter speed, requiring massive amounts of light, often necessitating very fast film stock or large lighting setups. ⭐️ALSO AVAIL FROM OSC RENTAL DEPT! ⭐️
