Service<br />

12 Dec 2010<br />

ARRI’s comprehensive service department<br />

on Türkenstrasse is fully set up to handle<br />

any Alexa problem.<br />

Service technicians from ARRI facilities<br />

worldwide are receiving on-site training<br />

to bring authorized factory service back<br />

home.<br />

On critical productions (and whose<br />

production is not?) it is both essential and<br />

reassuring to know there are highly skilled<br />

service technicians ready to jump in and<br />

repair whatever damage has been done or,<br />

gasp, problem that has developed.<br />

FedEx may be great, but when you have<br />

a mega-star on your call sheet, overnight<br />

will not cut the mustard.<br />

Think of authorized service as your on-call<br />

camera emergency room.<br />

Left: Günther Zoeh, ARRI Service<br />

Manager for many years, and the best<br />

name for any camera owner to know, has<br />

announced retirement.<br />

Günther started in the camera assembly<br />

department at ARRI in 1971. As his wife<br />

Annette writes, “This ambitious young<br />

man soon showed a special talent in the<br />

assembly of movements, the magical<br />

thing that is supposed to provide smooth<br />

and silent film transport.”<br />

In 1985, he worked at ARRI Inc in<br />

Blauvelt, NY.<br />

Moving back to Munich, Günther was<br />

appointed Camera Product Manager, and<br />

traveled the world for the next 12 years,<br />

doing camera workshops (Arriflex 535,<br />

Arricam) and providing technical backup<br />

on many productions.
