The Blackmagic Design URSA Mini 4.6K EF is a lightweight, miniaturized URSA that features an incredible 4.6K Super 35 image sensor with a huge 15 stops of dynamic range. Its super compact and lightweight design is perfectly balanced for handheld use and comfortable enough for all day shooting. So you get a handheld camera with higher resolution and better dynamic range than most Super 35mm film. URSA Mini can shoot up to 60 frames per second, has a super bright 5-inch foldout viewfinder, dual RAW and ProRes recorders, and more. This particular model featues an EF lens mount.
Designed to be used on feature films, television shows, commercials, indies, documentaries, music videos and more, the stunning quality of its 4.6K sensor with 15 stops of dynamic range lets you capture epic cinematic shots, while its compact size is ideal for solo shoots or smaller crews. You can easily customize URSA Mini with high quality cinema lenses, rails, matte boxes and more. Its optional shoulder mount kit includes a quick-release mounting plate so you can go from handheld to shoulder or tripod in seconds, making it perfect for "run and gun" shooting situations. And, because it's an URSA, everything you need is built right in. It's the handheld Super 35mm digital film camera that you can use anywhere.
Blackmagic URSA Mini is fully customizable so you can create a rig that fits your specific needs! Add accessories like the Blackmagic URSA Viewfinder and Blackmagic URSA Mini Shoulder Kit (sold separately), or choose from hundreds of third party accessories (sold separately). URSA Mini comes with 9 standard ¼" threaded mounting points on the top and bottom so you can mount it directly to a tripod, as well as add other accessories, such as rails, sliders, matte boxes, microphones, ring lights, batteries, and more. Whether you're assembling a feature film rig or outfitting the camera for an ENG style shoot, URSA Mini offers all of the mount points and connections you'll need.
URSA Mini operates at a resolution and dynamic range that goes well beyond that of traditional motion picture film. Its 4.6K image sensor captures up to 4608 x 2592 pixels—bigger than full DCI 4K. The sensor is equipped with a rolling shutter up to 60 frames per second with 15 stops of dynamic range. Onboard refrigeration cooling ensures maximum dynamic range so you get incredibly clean images with amazing detail in both the dark shadows and bright highlight areas of the picture.
With URSA Mini, you can shoot at high frame rates and then play back at the edit frame rate so you get smooth slow motion video. Just set the sensor frame rate to get different types of slow motion effects. It can capture full resolution 4.6K recordings at up to 60 frames per second (fps) and up to 120 fps in regular 1080 HD.
