The indieASSIST ST is a new, rugged Full HD video assist for ARRICAM Studio 35mm film cameras with the proven quality of the indieASSIST family of video-taps. It provides exceptional image quality for all crew on set, allowing to judge images far better than before. The high resolution images show true colours and have sharp, high contrast with excellent dynamic range.
With our own unique precision miniature optics from Indiecam that are optimized for modern high resoluton sensors, the image quality achieves the highest standards possible for an HD-video-assist system.

indieASSIST ST easily mounts on the original mounting positions of the ARRICAM ST film camera, which is also powering the indieASSIST ST with an internal connector. The unit is easily interchangeable between different ARRICAM ST camera bodies as well. The indieASSIST ST has an integrated focus control and image position adjustment mechanism. Focus can easily be set with an adjustment screw and image position can be modified in XY axis as well as rotation.

indieASSIST ST works with ARRICAM ST film camera bodies in 4 perf and 3(2) perf camera setups, as it can be easily modified by an experienced in-house camera technician following the manual at your facility.
The indieASSIST ST does not interfere with other ARRICAM ST accessories. It is very robust, compact, lightweight, has a minimal power draw and keeps cool during long shooting days.
