A True ARRI Camera

The D-21 is a true ARRI camera; it runs silently and has the same robust construc-
tion and ergonomic design ARRI cameras are famous for. Its controls are also 
simple and straightforward for fast and safe operation. 

The D-21 is also compatible with a broad selection of film accessories. Mount-

ed on a standard sliding baseplate, the D-21 shares matte box, support rod and 
follow focus options with the ARRI 35 mm film cameras.

The extensive range of available accessories allows the D-21 to be configured 

for any style of shooting. A studio setup might involve a production matte box 
and follow focus, extension eyepiece with leveler and a heavy zoom lens, while a 
stripped-down setup would permit handheld or Steadicam shooting.

The FEM-2, a Functional Expansion Module that attaches to the side of the 

D-21, houses a built-in radio module for lens and camera control with the ARRI 
Wireless Remote System (WRS). It also contains motor drive electronics that 
allow the ARRI Controlled Lens Motors (CLM) to be plugged directly into the D-21, 
minimizing the number of boxes attached to the camera. 

The D-21's modular system architecture allows upgrading when advances in 

sensor, electronics or firmware technology become available, thus ensuring a long 
product cycle for the camera. 

Lens motors plug directly into the FEM-2 portion of the D-21, 
which can also accommodate the Universal Radio Module 
URM-3 for wireless lens and camera remote control.
