The Ultimate Standard in Multi-Axis Wireless Control

The ARRI Hi-5 is the premier multi-axis hand unit for professional camera assistants, focus pullers, and operators. Representing the peak of ARRI’s fifth-generation Electronic Control System (ECS), the Hi-5 delivers ultra-responsive, delay-free wireless control of focus, iris, and zoom axes. With its highly advanced feature set, unmatched signal integrity, and exceptional ergonomic design, it serves as the central hub of high-end camera packages on motion picture sets worldwide.

Dominate High-Interference Sets with Modular RF Radio Technology

In modern wireless environments saturated with cellular and Wi-Fi traffic, maintaining a stable signal is one of the biggest challenges on set. The Hi-5 addresses this directly with its revolutionary, toolless swappable radio modules. By sliding in the RF-EMIP, RF-2400, or RF-900 module, crews can instantly shift between 2.4 GHz, 900 MHz, and up to 100 virtual radio channels. Coupled with the software-integrated spectrum analyzer, focus pullers can easily identify clean wireless bandwidth to ensure zero dropped connections during critical, unrepeatable takes.

Intuitive Touch Interface and SUP 2.0 Performance Upgrades

Navigating menus is faster than ever thanks to the daylight-readable, 3.0-inch transflective touchscreen GUI. Backed by the robust Software Update Package (SUP 2.0), the interface includes a customizable home screen where operators can map up to six custom user buttons for instant access to critical functions. SUP 2.0 also drastically simplifies the Lens Data Archive (LDA) workflow; during lens prep, the Hi-5 automatically calculates the values of the focus axis, cutting programming times in half.

Built for the Hardest Days on Set

ARRI has designed the Hi-5 to withstand the most punishing conditions. Constructed from exceptionally strong materials, the body offers the best rain, dust, and temperature protection on the market, operating flawlessly in climates from -20°C to +50°C. Its electronic interfaces—including LBUS, Serial, USB-A, and USB-C—enable direct hardwired links to cameras, physical updates via the iOS ECS Sync App, and seamless integration with third-party rangefinders and video monitors.
