ARRI 416 User Manual

Heavy or long lenses require support to avoid overstressing 

the camera‘s lens mount. Supporting a lens is achieved 

by using either the Lens Support LS-9 (snapped onto 19 

mm support rods) 

a

 or the Lens Support LS-10 

(pushed onto 15 mm support rods) in conjunction with a 

lens support ring 

a

 attached to the lens in use. 

They meet and screw together at a standard height.

•  Mount the LS-9 lens support onto the support rods from 

above and let it click into place by applying slight pressure 

or push the LS-10 onto the support rods from the front.

•  Fit the appropriate support ring 

a

 loosely onto 

the lens. Do not tighten.

•  Then slide the lens into the lens mount receptacle and 

lock. It is essential that you take the weight of the lens 

until the Lens Support is under the support column of 

the lens support ring.

•  Connect the support ring to the lens support and 

tighten the knurled screw 

a

 as well as the 

clamping lever 

a

.

•  Complete the process by tightening the clamp screw 

a

 on the support ring.

Note: 

Mounting the support ring on the relevant lens 

is usually carried out only once. The support 

ring can then remain in position on the lens.
