Excellent condition. Blackmagic provided the missing parts for just $62. The G2 is greater for slow motion. The quality of this sensor truly surpasses the Pocket cameras and I was able to make a full rig for just under $3k!

This camera produces a beautiful image, but sadly it is not reliable enough to use as a professional camera on productions. I suppose for hobbyists it's great. We were hoping we'd be able to report back positively, but after receiving the camera it displayed very prominent fixed noise pattern at 800ISO which was totally unacceptable and would never pass any QC. We contacted BMD support who were very quick to respond and replace the camera. We dove back into some tests on the new camera and lo and behold the same issue was happening. I'm waiting now to see what BMD's solution is, but we're now more than a month behind on our production and don't know when we'll have a functioning camera. I would have loved to give this camera a 5 star review- it's functionality and its image (minus the fixed noise pattern) are superb. In the beginning we decided to take a bit of a risk and purchase this camera for a production rather than rent an Alexa (an Alexa is roughly the same rental cost as an Ursa Mini Pro purchase for the shoot duration), but in the long run we are regretting it. I will update this review once we have a final solution that involves a functioning camera from Black Magic. After reading multiple negative reviews on various forums I am seeing that it's a crap shoot- some Ursa Mini Pro's have this issue, others don't. It seems like a Quality Control issue at Black Magic, which in my mind should be very easy to avoid- before shipping the cameras do a 2 second sensor test! It's just a shame we didn't luck out on 2 rolls of the dice so far, even after I was assured they had thoroughly tested the new camera.

I currently work as a Cinematographer in the Puerto Rico Film Industry, but I also own a Production Company that specializes in smaller video production projects. This camera has been able to handle both. Worked well as a handheld unit for more run and gun stuff (although not the best for prolonged handheld work since it is slightly heavier than I would want once you rig it properly) and was also able to neatly handle a 12-hour day of shooting in 4K RAW.

While a nice camera, I can't use it with my main client. Fox Sports is 720p. Doesn't matter how nice it is, if I can use it on the majority of my work.

Better ergonomics and image than the canon c300 at an unbeatable price point. The file sizes are quite large, but that is the price you pay for this kind of quality. The built-in nd filters are excellent, the build quality is rugged and durable, and the lcd screen is much bigger than most will make out. Would still recommend the viewfinder, but it is still very usable without. The os is much simpler and faster to navigate than a Sony or even a canon and again, the images you get with this machine are phenomenal. Just be sure to expose properly. This is a very capable tool. The rest is up to you.

Amazing camera with superb image quality. Only thing is that the camera shows FPN (fixed pattern noise) even at its native iso 800.

Poor ergonomics, difficult to shoot with because it’s so heavy. The screen navigation is great and the image quality is good. As far as being productive on a shoot, I would recommend a Canon C200 which has comparable image quality and is much lighter. The trade off there is it it eats up tons of space. But it has amazing AF which will make your life easier.

Love my new URSA Mini Pro. Definitely a learning curve coming from a C100, but a fun learning experience nonetheless. The images are absolutely stunning from this camera. Highly recommend the Mini Pro!

I also own the URSA Mini 4.6k and I can tell you that the Pro is a significant upgrade over it. It's just better in every way. For me, the interchangeable mount system was the deal maker, but internal NDs and all the control buttons on the outside makes this so much easier to use. Image quality has been slightly refined too - it just seems a bit cleaner and performs better in lower light with less noise, etc.

I'll be honest and short as I can. This is a great camera on paper but in practice it still needs huge improvements. The fixed noise pattern at least on my particular camera was very present even in the native 800 ISO, RAW or ProRes. The scenes I tested out had a full range of light to dark within the frame and pretty much anytime you have an area of shadow or 40 to lower IRE, the FNP shows up to varying degrees. Discussed this with Blackmagic and their representative basically they said to test/shoot the camera in a well lit area, well guess what... I can't tell my clients that we can only shoot in well lit areas or dramatically overexpose our shots just to try to avoid the FNP. You can write off shooting anything normal to low-key lighting, that Blade Runner/Batman/film noir/"natural" window light look... well don't even try to attempt it on these cameras unless you want to go the extra mile in post to try to fix the FNP. I can't afford it in time or money wise so I had to return this camera. Hopefully they fix the issues other people have been noticing, but as for now, their Pocket Camera is by far more reliable image wise than this current version of the URSA Mini Pro. Maybe you might luck out with QC and get a sensor not as bad as mine, but who really can afford to play roulette over and over with Blackmagic till you get the "good" camera. Don't get me wrong, Blackmagic still makes a great image for the money, still feel they are the closest brand that has the digital film look as much as ARRI has, but again the FNP is killing it for a lot of us.

Love the new Ursa Mini Pro. It produces a beautiful image with the added flexibility of built-in ND filters and interchangeable mounts. Not only is it is easy to operate and navigate the menu, it has internal raw recording and ProRes to C-Fast or SD cards. I look forward to using this camera over the next several years.

Great Flexible Tool for Most Video Productions

I currently work as a Cinematographer in the Puerto Rico Film Industry, but I also own a Production Company that specializes in smaller video production projects. This camera has been able to handle both.

The world’s first digital film camera with professional broadcast camera 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!
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!
URSA Mini Pro gives you uncompromising digital film quality that rivals cameras costing thousands more, along with a fully lossless post production workflow with the included DaVinci Resolve Studio software. URSA Mini Pro captures high resolution images with 15 stops of latitude and a super wide color gamut that’s vastly larger than both Rec. 2020 and the P3 digital cinema color space.
URSA Mini Pro gives you HD or Ultra HD recording in a compact, well balanced shoulder mount camera that’s comfortable enough to be used all day! You get a a 4” fold out monitor, optional EVF, complete technical scopes, professional audio recording, and dual ProRes SD card and C-Fast card recorders built right in. The interchangeable lens mount can be used with the B4 adapter so you can use your existing HD B4 lenses!
Whether you’re a broadcaster working on news or magazine style talk shows, you need a future proof camera that can capture the incredible color and detail of Ultra HD. URSA Mini Pro is unique because it gives you the best of both worlds! You get incredible digital film quality built into a professional studio camera with live studio camera features such as camera control. You can even add the 7” URSA Studio Viewfinder to turn URSA Mini Pro into the ultimate studio camera, complete with remote camera and lens control, talkback, tally and more!
As an independent filmmaker you have to balance creative vision with tight budgets, small crews and incredibly tight shooting schedules. Now, with URSA Mini Pro, you can get the quality, resolution and dynamic range of Super 35mm film in a compact design that’s perfect for single camera operators and small crews! Choose either EF or PL lens mounts so you can work with readily available photo lenses or professional cinematic lenses. You also get built in monitoring, histograms, focus peaking, audio recording and more so you don’t have to rent additional equipment.
The URSA Mini family are powerful and robust cameras that are available in five different versions, so you can choose the camera that best suits your needs. Choose the affordable URSA Mini 4K and URSA Mini 4.6K models with cinema quality, fixed EF or PL lens mounts, and dual C-Fast card recorders. Or choose the all new, advanced URSA Mini Pro 4.6K that adds built in ND filters, an interchangeable lens mount, dual C-Fast UHS-II SD card recorders and powerful broadcast features and controls!
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!
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!
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!
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!
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!
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.
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!
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!
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!
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!
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 instantly see sliders and controls for making adjustments without ever having to navigate through any menus! The new digital “slate” makes entering metadata faster than ever before with a built in dictionary, predictive entry and on screen keyboard. Using a professional digital film camera has never been faster!
Blackmagic URSA Mini cameras are completely customizable so you can create a rig that’s built specifically for your production! You can add accessories like the Blackmagic URSA Viewfinder, URSA Studio Viewfinder and Blackmagic URSA Mini Shoulder Kit, or choose from hundreds of third party accessories. URSA Mini and URSA Mini Pro have 9 standard ¼” threaded mounting points on the top and bottom of the camera so you can mount it directly to a tripod as well as add accessories such as rails, sliders, matte boxes, microphones, ring lights, batteries and more. Whether you’re building a feature film rig or outfitting the camera for an ENG style shoot, URSA Mini has all of the mount points and connections you need!
The optional Blackmagic URSA Viewfinder is designed to be the perfect match for URSA Mini Pro and URSA Mini cameras. You get a high resolution 1920 x 1080 color OLED display matched with precision glass optics, adjustable diopter and built in digital focus chart so you get perfect focus every time. To preserve OLED screen life, there’s a built in sensor so the OLED only turns on when you’re looking through the viewfinder. The Blackmagic URSA Viewfinder is adjustable so it can be used on both the left or the right eye. There’s even a built in record light!
Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro features multiple connections such as 12G-SDI out, HD-SDI monitoring out, 2 LANC inputs, balanced XLR audio with phantom power, timecode in and reference input. On the front right side of the camera is a 12 pin Hirose control connector for broadcast lenses. There’s also a 4 pin XLR DC and an HD-SDI monitoring output that are located in the perfect position for connecting an optional viewfinder or on set monitor. The 12G-SDI output handles all formats up to 2160p60 using a single BNC cable, and also switches to 6G-SDI or HD-SDI depending on the shooting format.
12G-SDI is an incredible 8 times faster than regular HD-SDI which makes it fast enough for Ultra HD video at up to 60 frames per second, all over a single regular SDI cable! The high quality BNC connections are multi rate so it can automatically switch and work with 6G-SDI, 3G-SDI, and regular HD-SDI equipment. That means URSA Mini Pro and URSA Mini are compatible with all of your existing HD and Ultra HD equipment so you can plug it into things like ATEM live production switchers, on-set monitors, decks and more!
URSA Mini Pro has a high quality microphone and professional audio recorder built right in so you don’t have to carry around extra sound equipment! Use the built in stereo microphone to record natural location sound or connect professional microphones using the two XLR wide dynamic range mic inputs. The XLR connections have 48V of switchable phantom power so you can plug in everything from shot gun to wireless clip on mics for capturing every detail of the performance. You can quickly adjust levels using the external knobs and monitor audio using the onscreen audio meters.
The built in touchscreen makes it astonishingly simple to set up and enter metadata for tagging clips. Metadata is saved directly in the video files so you don’t have to worry about managing extra sidecar files. You can import the files directly into software like DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro and Avid Media Composer then use the metadata to sort, search and find the clips you need so you can spend more time on creative editing and less time managing mountains of media!
URSA Mini Pro and URSA Mini cameras include a 4-pin XLR industry standard power connector that works with 12V to 30V external power supplies. That means it’s easy to use the camera with all of your existing power supplies and batteries! All URSA cameras use the same battery power connector and mounting points on the rear of the camera so you can use a wide range of battery plates from manufacturers such as IDX, Frezzi, Anton Bauer and more. You can also add the optional Blackmagic URSA VLock Battery Plate for using popular V-Mount batteries.
All URSA cameras include a full version of DaVinci Resolve Studio. DaVinci Resolve Studio is editing and color correction software that features an advanced, multi layer timeline with powerful editing and trimming tools, along with Hollywood’s most advanced creative color correction and creative grading tools! With URSA Mini Pro and DaVinci Resolve, you get a complete post production solution so you’ll be able to shoot amazing images with incredible fidelity, color and dynamic range while retaining every bit of quality. Whether you’re working on a major feature film or a YouTube video, DaVinci Resolve Studio gives you a completely lossless workflow for native editing, color correction and delivery, so your video always looks as good as possible!
Now with Bluetooth control - New API makes it possible for customers to create remote camera control applications for URSA Mini Pro on their iPads, phones, and laptop computers.
With a fully open API and developer support for URSA Mini Pro Bluetooth, customers can go well beyond the demonstration app. They can build an iPad application to remotely adjust camera settings and motorized lenses while the camera is mounted on a crane. Technically skilled customers could even build an application that uses the camera's built in DaVinci Resolve color corrector so that images can be graded live during a shoot.
New workflows are also possible. A great example of this is that customers can mount Blackmagic URSA Studio Viewfinders on multiple URSA Mini Pro cameras to create a live multi camera shooting scenario, however instead of connecting to a switcher, the iPad can trigger all cameras to record to their internal media with matching metadata. This means the media can be later edited using DaVinci Resolve 14 multicam editing to work as fast as live production, however with the accuracy of post production. That's faster, lower cost and higher quality editing than was easily possible in the past.
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!
