Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro Production Camera 4.6K with EF Mount - Body Only
The world’s first digital film camera with professional broadcast camera features and controls!
Introducing URSA Mini Pro, a professional digital film camera that
combines the incredible image quality of URSA Mini 4.6K with the
features and controls of a traditional broadcast camera! You get a
massive number of ergonomically designed controls on the side of the
camera so you can adjust most settings by feel, and without ever having
to take your eyes off the action. URSA Mini Pro also features built in
ND filters, a status display and a revolutionary new interchangeable
lens mount that lets you change between EF photographic lenses or PL and
B4 lenses. URSA Mini Pro records up to 60fps and features dual C-Fast
2.0 recorders as well as dual UHS-II SD Card recorders. URSA Mini Pro is
lightweight and comfortable enough to use all day, has controls that
are extremely fast to use, and image quality that’s far superior to
broadcast cameras costing ten times more!
Digital Film Quality for Every Project
The perfect camera for digital film, broadcast, live production and more!
URSA Mini Pro is “three
cameras in one” because it combines high end
digital film quality with the ergonomics and features broadcasters need.
It’s ideal for any kind of work from high end feature films, television
shows and commercials, to independent films, broadcast news, and even
studio and live production! URSA Mini Pro features beyond Ultra HD 4.6K
resolution plus 15 stops of dynamic range, all with a super wide color
gamut and DaVinci color science so you always capture cinematic quality
images. The super compact body features broadcast camera ergonomics and
advanced operating software that make it faster to set up and use than
any other camera! Whether you’re on set, on location or shooting run and
gun, URSA Mini Pro has the image quality and features you need to work
on any type of project!
Revolutionary URSA Design
Big camera features that are fast to use in a lightweight, portable design!
URSA Mini Pro is designed to include everything you need in a handheld
camera so you can take it anywhere! Unlike cheap plastic cameras, the
evenly weighted camera body is made out of a super tough magnesium
alloy. It’s a true professional camera with full redundancy on every
control, even the power switch! Plus, the tactile controls allow full
setting changes without having to take the camera off your shoulder!
There’s an external high visibility LCD status display so you can see
critical shooting information, and a 4” foldout touch screen for
reviewing shots so you don’t have to carry an extra on-set monitor! You
get professional connections such as 12G-SDI, XLR audio, a built in high
quality microphone and more. The optional electronic viewfinder and
shoulder mount kit lets you go from tripod to handheld shooting in
seconds, or you can turn URSA Mini Pro into the ultimate live production
camera by adding an URSA Studio Viewfinder!
Built in ND Filters
High quality neutral density filters with IR compensation!
URSA Mini Pro features high quality neutral density (ND) filters that
let you quickly reduce the amount of light entering the camera. The 2, 4
and 6 stop filters have been specifically designed to match the
colorimetry and color science of URSA Mini Pro, providing you with
additional latitude, even under harsh lighting conditions. This lets you
use different combinations of aperture and shutter angle to achieve
shallower depth of field, or specific levels of motion blur, in a wider
range of situations. The IR filters have been designed to filter both
optical wave lengths and IR wave lengths evenly to eliminate IR
contamination of the images that most ND filters can suffer from. The ND
filters are true optical filters with a precision mechanism that
quickly moves them into place when the ND filter dial is turned. The
filter settings can even be displayed as either an ND number, stop
reduction or fraction on the LCD!
Powerful Tactile Controls
Quickly change settings without taking the camera off your shoulder!
Like the world’s best broadcast cameras, URSA Mini Pro features
powerful tactile control buttons, switches, knobs and dials, giving you
direct access to the most important camera settings. The controls are
laid out in a logical order that makes them easy to remember, so you’ll
be able to adjust settings, use ND filters, change frame rate and even
snap a still photo without having to look at the buttons or take the
camera off of your shoulder. The external controls are so fast to use,
you don’t even have to stop shooting! That’s what makes URSA Mini Pro
both a powerful broadcast and studio camera, as well as a digital film
camera!
Interchangeable Lens Mounts
Compatible with EF, PL and B4 lenses!
Different projects require different lenses, which is why URSA Mini Pro
features a new interchangeable lens mount! Imagine shooting regular
work using a photography lens but then being able to change to a PL
mount cinema lens if you get a high end film job. URSA Mini Pro makes
that easy because you can quickly switch between EF, PL and B4 lenses,
making it compatible with the widest possible range of professional
lenses. That means you can work with high quality EF photographic
lenses, large PL cinema lenses, and even B4 broadcast lenses, all with
the same camera! URSA Mini Pro comes with an EF mount and you can
purchase optional PL and B4 lens mounts separately. With URSA Mini Pro,
you get a single camera that works with virtually all professional
lenses so you can choose precisely the lens you need!
Status Display
See critical shooting information in bright daylight!
The status display is a high visibility LCD screen that’s designed to
be easily seen, even in bright light! The status display shows record
timecode, locked timecode and reference timecode, along with the current
shooting frame rate, shutter angle, aperture, white balance, ISO and
IRIS. It also features a battery indicator, card recording status and
audio meters for monitoring levels. The screen’s backlight can be turned
on when you’re shooting in dimly lit locations, and off when you’re
shooting outdoors and in bright light to increase contrast, making it
easy to read under any condition!
Cinematic 4.6K Sensor
Capture incredible digital film images with 15 stops of dynamic range!
When it comes to image quality, URSA Mini Pro operates at a higher
resolution and dynamic range that goes well beyond traditional motion
picture film. You get a 4.6K image sensor that captures up to 4608 x
2592 pixels, which is bigger than full DCI 4K! The sensor features a
massive 15 stops of dynamic range, making it perfect for high dynamic
range (HDR) projects. The built in active refrigeration ensures maximum
dynamic range and low noise so you get incredibly clean pictures with
amazing detail in both the dark shadows and bright highlight areas. You
can also choose the lower cost URSA Mini 4K model with 12 stops of
dynamic range when you don’t need the performance and are on a tighter
budget.
Advanced Colorimetry
Super wide color gamut and precision color science!
URSA Mini Pro features an incredibly wide color gamut that captures
more of the visible color spectrum than Rec. 2020, which is vastly
larger than the P3 digital cinema color space! Third generation
Blackmagic Design color science is used to process the raw sensor data,
enabling amazingly rich skin tones, natural color response and enormous
amounts of dynamic range. Whether you’re shooting a Hollywood
blockbuster, an indie film, high end commercial, or a broadcast
television show, URSA Mini Pro’s combination of resolution, dynamic
range and color gamut delivers amazingly rich and lifelike images!
High Frame Rate Recording
Capture the action with smooth flowing motion
URSA Mini Pro can shoot at high frame rates and then play it back at
the edit frame rate so you get smooth slow motion video that’s crystal
clear. You can set the camera’s default shooting frame rate and also
specify an “off speed” frame rate. Switching between them is simply done
with the touch of a button on the outside of the camera, making it
incredibly fast to switch between standard and high frame rate shooting!
URSA Mini Pro can capture full resolution 4.6K recordings at up to 60
frames per second!
Non Stop Recording
Works with both C-Fast and SD card media!
URSA Mini Pro features both dual C-Fast 2.0 recorders and dual UHS-II
SD card recorders so you can choose the media that works best for you.
C-Fast cards are ideal for full resolution RAW recording, while SD and
UHS-II cards are inexpensive and commonly available, making them perfect
for recording ProRes Ultra HD files or RAW HD files. Simply choose the
media type, insert the cards and start shooting! With dual slots for
each media type, you never have to stop recording because when the first
card is full, it automatically continues onto the next card. You can
even swap the full card for an empty one, all without having to stop
recording! URSA Mini Pro can record lossless 12-bit CinemaDNG RAW files
for the highest possible quality, or 10-bit ProRes files for easy post
production workflows with minimum storage requirements!
Built in Monitoring
Fold out touch screen for monitoring and camera control!
The built in 4” fold out touchscreen URSA Mini Pro and the 5” fold out
touchscreen on URSA Mini are super bright, high resolution color
displays with a wide viewing angle that makes them perfect for
monitoring and reviewing shots on set! The screen can also show you a
“heads up display” overlay with critical information such as format,
frame rate, timecode, ISO and more. You even get a histogram, card
recording status indicators and audio meters! The fold out touchscreen
lets you use the incredible new URSA Mini operating software so you get
super fast access to every camera function, ATEM broadcast switcher
integration features for live broadcast, digital slate for metadata
management and more!
Advanced URSA Mini Software
Incredibly fast software with revolutionary new user interface!
All URSA Mini cameras feature a new user interface that revolutionizes
the way you work! The advanced camera operating software lets you use
simple tap and swipe gestures to control all features, setup, the
digital slate and more. You get powerful and super fast software with a
unique heads up display that puts commonly used functions at your
fingertips. Simply touch an on screen icon to make changes for things
such as audio levels, white balance, shutter angle and more! You’ll
