The Arriflex 535 is a movie camera product line created by Arri in 1990 to replace the Arriflex 35 BL line.
As such, its potential applications are widespread, and thus it is regularly used as a primary camera on feature films, second unit work on features, on music videos, commercials, special effects work and motion control, among other usage.
Before the introduction of the Arricam System, the 535 was one of the most popular 35 mm sync-sound movie camera in usage[citation needed], due to its wide range of production adoption, intuitive design, high reliability, and retail availability.
The original variant was capable of between three and fifty frames per second.
Until he switched over to the digital Arri Alexa line of cameras, the 535 had been the choice camera of cinematographer Roger Deakins for much of his career.
