The '''Arriflex 16ST''' is a [[16mm film|16mm]] MOS production motion picture camera released in 1952 by [[ARRI]].

==Function==
[[File:ARRI 16 ST.jpg|thumb|ST with open door]]
Like earlier models, the ARRI 16ST was built around the spinning reflex twin-bladed "butterfly" mirror shutter designed by [[Erich_Kästner_(camera_designer)|Erich Kästner]], chief engineer at Arnold & Richter Cine Technik (ARRI), Arri Group, set at 45 degrees horizontally to the lens axis. Further it uses a 3-lens turret with ARRI standart mounts. The [[viewfinder]] is located on the Gate door. The design is very similar to the [[Arriflex 35]].

The Arriflex 16ST can load 100ft daylight spools internally and a 400ft external magazine can be attached to the top. The camera is driven by a 12V crystal control motor, which can be controlled on the right side. I can record between 8 and 48 fps. The motor also has a reverse mode, which can be used for double exposure for example.
The standart [[Mattebox]] is adjustable in length to fit the different focal lengths of the lenses.

This 16mm camera was one of ARRI's most popular designs and sold over 20.000 cameras<ref>https://ift.tt/2xYISFv>.

===Arriflex 16M===
The Arriflex 16M is a model released in 1960, similar from a technical point of view to the 16ST, but only using 400ft magazines.
