ARRI has released yet another Tech Talk video that clearly explains what SAM plates and powering requirements are needed when using the ALEXA 35 with a range of different stabilized platforms.
The ARRI Stabilizer Adapter Mount (SAM) plates allow you to make a quick and easy, toolless transition from traditional shooting styles such as tripod-mounted or hand-held into a variety of stabilizers from ARRI and third-party companies. In this tech talk, Sean Dooley demonstrates each of the six new SAM plates in their respective stabilizers and touches on how to power this new 24 V camera within different rigs.
The video is quite long and detailed, so below you can see where to start if you are after information about how to work with a particular stabilizer platform:
00:00 Intro

04:19 SAM -5 for Movi Pro
07:59 SAM-6 for TRINITY, ARTEMIS 2, SRH-3/360, MAXIMA

14:22 SAM-7 for Artemis Gen.1, GPI Pro

It is great to see ARRI create so many different Tech Talk videos for the ALEXA 35. This makes it easy to find out clear and concise information on a vast array of different topics. I wish more camera companies would do this.
