Arriflex 16SR

The Arriflex 16SR is a motion picture camera product line created by Arri, introduced in 1975.

In 1982, Arri released the 16SR2, for improved function over the previous version, e.g. lower operational noise level.

The 16 SR series of cameras are distinguished by their small portable profile, their multidirectional viewfinder having a correctly upright picture in all positions, to the right and to the left of the camera, a crystal controlled motor and a quick-change 400 ft coaxial magazine.

A 200 ft coaxial magazine was originally featured in the photo of the 16 SR in an Arri collective brochure in 1975, but this was only a prototype and was never marketed.

It is also the same type of camera used for Nirvana (band)'s halloween Live at the Paramount (video) In 1982 Arri introduced the 16SR2-E (Economic), as a cheaper alternative to the SR2.
