ARRI Hi-5 SX Body Kit
Hi-5 SX Hand Unit
The Hi-5 SX Body Kit from ARRI provides users with a single-axis version of the popular Hi-5 wireless camera and lens controller. Ready to grow with both your needs and budget, the Hi-5 SX can be easily upgraded to handle additional functions via separately available licenses. The single-axis hand unit fits within the Hi-5 ecosystem and offers the same durable, weatherproof design as the original Hi-5. Please note that the basic Hi-5 Body Kit requires a separately available radio module and batteries.
Advanced Metadata and Redesigned Interface
The Hi-5 SX features a redesigned, single-axis interface that provides a clear view of your selected FIZ axis. Your camera, lens, and distance metadata is automatically shared between hand units, and users can toggle between the Hi-5 and Hi-5 SX interfaces when desired.
Full Single-Axis Control
This full-featured hand unit offers a large knob, slider, and force-pad options for controlling a single focus, iris, or zoom motor. Its 3" high-contrast touchscreen LCD displays all the camera and lens data information necessary for precise control.
Extended Control with Separate Licenses
Use the Hi-5 SX with similar L-BUS devices for the Hi-5 and existing, separately available Focusbug, Cinefade, and RED or Sony camera control licenses for extended control options.
Hi-5 Ecosystem
The Hi-5 SX is fully compatible with the highly integrated Hi-5 ecosystem, including the Hi-5 hand unit, ZMU-4 zoom control, all existing motor controllers, LBUS controllers, and cameras.
Network Ready
The next-gen, full-featured Hi-5 SX supports all existing ARRI ECS radio modules, camera user buttons, and custom smart rings, providing long-range iris control for DITs and engineers.
Custom Smart Rings
ARRI's Custom Smart Rings enable you to program any range of focus or iris marks to a ring automatically recognized by all Hi-5 and Hi-5 SX hand units. Export the ring information as a vector file to a USB drive to add graphics and for printing.
Weatherproof, Long-Lasting Design
A weatherproof, dustproof design with the same modular hardware as the Hi-5 enables you to use the Hi-5 SX in the toughest locations. It provides up to a 12+ hour run time and maintains your wireless connection when hot-swapping batteries, saving valuable time on set.
Full Hi-5 Upgrades
No need to visit an ARRI service center; the Hi-5 SX can be remotely upgraded to full Hi-5 functionality with the purchase of separately available licenses.
The SX Plus license offers lens mapping, Custom Smart Ring creation, six more user buttons, a tail-slate mode, and free additional future features.
The SX All-Axis license enables 3-axis lens control with simultaneous knob, slider, and force-pad use, complete display information, an AUX axis, and full virtual T-stop and focal length features.
