I'm assuming it was somehow shared by the youtuber? I use unlisted videos as private videos that don't have the inconvenience of a password, so if there's another way to discover them I'm very keen to hear about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrooklynDan Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 I saw one for sale at Arri Rental complete with OB-1 recorder for $6K. As tempting as the image quality and low price are, it is far too cumbersome and heavy to be practical. It's also very power-hungry and just try getting a quote on maintenance. Just the spinning mirror assembly costs thousands. It was a $200K item new. Now that original Alexas are dipping under $10k and will soon be even cheaper, there is no real reason to use a D21.

Exactly this! When I've seen an Arri Alexa Classic for $8K it seems madness to spend $5K or $6K ish on a D21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
