The ARRIFLEX SR3 (Arri SR3) is a highly-regarded 16mm film camera, the final evolution of the ARRI SR series, designed to meet modern film production standards. It’s renowned for its reliability, compact size, and high-speed capabilities, making it a versatile tool for commercials, music videos, documentaries, and narrative features seeking the distinct Super 16mm film aesthetic. The camera was released in the early 1990s and is available in standard and HS (High Speed) versions.

Key Features:

Super 16mm Native Format: Captures a wider image area than Standard 16mm, making it ideal for high-quality cinema scans (up to 2K/4K) and digital post-production.
High Frame Rate Capability: The HS (High Speed) version shoots up to 150 fps (frames per second), enabling excellent, fluid slow-motion sequences.
PL Lens Mount (Offset): Ensures compatibility with a wide range of professional, modern cinema lenses and allows for easy and quick format change between Regular 16 and Super 16.
Adjustable Mirror Shutter: Manually adjustable from 180° down to 45°, offering precise creative control over motion blur and exposure time.
Integrated Video System (IVS): Provides a high-quality video assist output (often upgraded to HD-SDI) for on-set monitoring and video village setups.
Time Code Integration: Time code functionality, typically recorded in the magazine, streamlines the film-to-digital post-production and sync sound workflow.
Ergonomic & Lightweight Design: Excellent for handheld shooting, offering greater mobility and comfort on set compared to larger film cameras.
Crystal Sync Precision: Ensures frame rate accuracy (e.g., 24 fps), essential for reliable synchronization with sound recording.
