The ARRI ALEXA MINI LF packs a large format sensor inside the smaller Mini camera body with some slight difference. The new Mini LF has a slightly larger body than the original Alexa Mini though it is very close to the original Mini. Almost all of the accessories from the Alexa Mini will work on the slightly larger body of the ALEXA MINI LF. The current ARRI Prototypes weigh in around 2.6 Kg/5.7 lbs for the camera body with LPL lens mount and 800 g/1.7 lbs for the MVF-2 viewfinder.
Almost identical to the current ALEXA Mini in terms of size, The Mini LF still has the same basic design and form factor that users liked.. The biggest difference, of course, is the sensor size
