Simmod ARRI PL to LPL Mount Cine Pro Adapter

PL and LPL are mechanically different cinema mount standards with different flange depths and locking geometries. This adapter provides a fixed interface between the two systems.

The Simmod ARRI PL to LPL Mount Cine Pro Adapter is a precision-machined adapter designed to mount ARRI PL lenses onto ARRI LPL camera systems while maintaining proper registration distance, alignment, and mechanical stability.

Mount Interface

• Lens mount: ARRI PL
• Camera mount: ARRI LPL

The adapter installs between the PL lens and LPL camera mount, allowing PL-mounted lenses to operate on LPL camera systems without modification to the lens or camera.

Mechanical Design

The adapter is designed around a rigid mechanical structure intended for cinema lens support and accurate alignment.

• Positive-locking LPL interface
• Fixed PL lens seating surface
• Reduced rotational play and mount movement
• Designed for use with heavier cinema lenses and support systems

Construction

• Solid brass construction
• Chrome-plated mount surfaces
• Satin exterior finish
• Internal felt flocking to minimize reflections and stray light

The adapter is CNC machined to maintain dimensional consistency and mount accuracy.

Mechanical Performance

• Maintains proper registration distance for PL to LPL conversion
• Supports infinity focus
• Designed to preserve optical alignment between lens and sensor
• Minimizes flex and movement under load

The adapter is intended for use with both vintage and modern cinema lenses, including lenses with floating optical groups.

Support System

• Includes removable Arca-type support foot
• Designed to reduce stress on the camera mount when using heavier lenses

The support foot can be integrated into rod or tripod-based support systems.

Dust Protection

A removable locking dust cover is included because standard LPL body caps cannot attach directly when the adapter remains mounted on the camera.

This allows:

• The adapter to remain installed on the camera body
• Sensor protection during storage or transport
• Faster lens changes within configured setups

System Behavior

• Fully mechanical adapter
• No electronic communication or lens metadata transfer
• Manual lens operation only
• Does not alter optical characteristics of the lens

Notes

• Designed specifically for PL lenses and LPL camera systems
• Intended for cinema workflows involving support systems and follow focus accessories
• Shim adjustment may be required depending on camera and lens tolerances
