advice on light setup using 2x Arri 300W and 1x Arri 650W

The Arri Raw files are crazy to deal with and the classic and plus Alexa's require a lot of accessories to record raw. So you're only getting a 1080p signal off the SXS cards in Pro Res and the moment you record in 444, you're dealing with much larger files than 6k BMD Raw.

After conversing with a few rental houses on some commercial shoots, everyone told me ownership of Arri Alexa's (Amiras as well) was basically a lost cause unless the camera was rented non-stop.
Arri was 15 years too late in reacting in any significant way to 16mm shoulder camera development when they presented the SR-series in 1975, and the philosophical underlyings of the SR-series' quick-change magazines on that annoying base-plate were outdated when new.
