ARRIFLEX at work — one of a SERIES*
THE SIMPLICITY OF THE ARRIFLEX-16 OPERATION IS EXPLAINED BY CAMERAMAN WALLY BARRUS TO BRIGHAM YOUNG UNIVERSITY’S HEAD COACH, HAL MITCHELL.
Five seasons of filming football games with an Arriflex 16, with never a lost play due to mechanical malfunction, is the proud report of Wally Barrus, official cameraman for Brigham Young University, Provo, Utah.
Selected to eliminate the fail¬ ings of previous equipment,
Arriflex has lived up to its reputation for performance and dependability. In filming sports events particularly, there is no chance for retaking footage lost through mechanical failures or cumbersome equipment. ‘‘In this respect,” Barrus says, ‘‘Arriflex is a joy!” Lightweight, portable and engineered for one-man operation, it helps the photographer “stay on top” of every play. The reflex view-finder permits fast throughthe-lens composition and makes follow-focus easy ... no
matter how deceptive the quarterback, Arriflex’s exclusive 21°-divergence 3-lens turret saves time, too — permits side-by-side mounting of long and short Lenses — switch from telephoto to wide angle without mechanical or optical interference! So satisfactory did the Arriflex prove itself, both on campus and away, that the University acquired two more: for its Motion Picture Department and to record other collegiate activities.
Summing up the general reaction, Cameraman Barrus states, “In my opinion, Arriflex is the best 16mm camera available today.” Whatever your need — in industry, science or enter¬ tainment — filming sports or satellites, you will come to the same conclusion.
