The ARRI Arriflex BL4 is a rugged, professional 35mm motion picture camera originally designed as part of ARRI’s legendary “BL” silent camera line, offering precise film transport and quiet, sync-sound-capable operation. In its 3-Perf configuration, it efficiently records Super35 film with reduced stock usage while maintaining excellent image quality. The camera features a reflex viewing system, robust PL lens mount, & adjustable movement. This makes it suitable for a wide range of productions — from narrative features to  indie projects where shooting on film is prized!

ARRI has been at the forefront of motion picture technology for nearly a century, pioneering reflex-viewing systems and professional film cameras that shaped modern cinematography. From the early ARRIFLEX 35 models to later innovations, ARRI’s cameras have been trusted by generations of cinematographers worldwide for their reliability, ergonomic design, and cinematic image quality. Arri 35BL cameras were used to shoot Acedemy Award winning films such as Bound for Glory, Days of Heaven, Apocalypse Now, Reds, Ghandi, The Shawshank Redemption, Goodfellas, and many more!!

The LEGENDARY CLAIRMONT CAMERA:
This Arriflex BLIII camera was converted to 3-perf by Clairmont Camera in Hollywood, California. Clairmont Camera was a world-famous camera rental company and one of Arri’s biggest customers. Never ones to “leave well-enough alone,” Clairmont’s technicians would often improve upon Arri’s designs after receiving the equipment from Arriflex. With Clairmont’s size & reputation, the rental house had the financial backing and the staff needed to keep their equipment in excellent condition. Right up until the day Clairmont closed its doors in 2017 (when its co-founder Denny Clairmont retired), the rental house was known for having the most innovative and best-maintained equipment in the industry. Clairmont played such a big role in the film camera world that Arri would consult with the company during development of new camera designs. When the motion picture industry shifted to HD/Widescreen, Clairmont was quick to realize the advantage that 3-perforation acquisition offered and began converting existing BL4 and BL3 cameras to 3-perf. This BL4 3-perf camera gives a potential owner the chance to own a 35mm motion picture camera with a Hollywood pedigree– more specifically, the buyer will get a 35mm camera that can produce amazing, “future proof” images on 35mm film while saving 25% on film costs due to the camera’s 3-perf shooting capability!
