Blackmagic Ursa Mini Pro


On Thursday 11th our technical demonstrater went over the new camera available to us the Blackmagic Mini Ursa Pro and here are some of it's details and tips about it:

  • It can shoot 4.6k
  • Some of the lenses available to use on this camera are 24-105 variable, 50mm, 85mm
  • When changing the lens make sure the camera is turned off
  • The viewfinder that is attached to it doesn't fit in the bag so it is optional to have it
  • When shooting in light, the N-D filters on the camera range from 1-4 and can be locked off after deciding 
  • If shooting in compressed format the ISO of 800 should be changed
  • the ISO, white balance and shutter can be locked off as well after choosing
  • The camera has a portable charger to take which can charge multiple bateries
  • When deciding your format you have the option of Raw, Pro Res, HQ and 422 which can be accessed through the menu
  • For me it will be best to shoot Pro Res
  • Pro Res can do about 30 mins of footage
  • Can also do 4k 16/9
  • It has C/Fast card - version of memory card
  • Also SD so use the toggle switch to pick the correct one so the camera picks it up
  • 4k vs 1080 - 4k will take longer to edit
  • Focus assist, lines means the area is in focus
  • Zebras 
  • False colours for exposure reading
  • Monitor - frame guides - black bars
  • Can't change sound gain during take
