Welcome
Thank you for purchasing Blackmagic URSA!
Since we released our first digital film camera a few years ago we have been privileged
to have received some of the best guidance and feedback we have ever had for a new
product! We all grew up admiring the work of the world’s leading cinematographers
and DOPs and it’s been an honor to spend hours in conversations with these legendary
experts on the features we need to add to our cameras. Of course, everyone we speak
to has good ideas also!
All those exciting conversations have been put into the new camera you have just
purchased. We think it takes care of the needs of large film crews as well as having all
the features you need if you’re operating in single person shooting. Blackmagic URSA’s
unique design allows you to replace the sensor, adding new imaging capability to it over
time. What this also means is we could put more value into the screens, processing and
cooling systems your camera has, because it does not need to be thrown away every
time we develop a new sensor for it!
With URSA, you get a large 10 inch on set monitor built in, dual CFast recorders that
alternate recording so you can keep recording for as long as you want, as well as
scopes, super strong metal design and much more.
Our new URSA Mini camera offers similar capabilities. You get a super strong metal
chassis, dual CFast recorders, a 5 inch touchscreen and the same amazing sensor all in a
smaller, lighter package perfect for single operators. We also listened to single operators
when we developed our new URSA Viewfinder which is perfect when you need extra
precision and for shooting on the shoulder.
We hope you use your URSA or URSA Mini to produce some of the world’s most exciting
films and television programming, music videos and commercials! We are extremely
excited to see what creative work you produce and to get your feedback on new
features you would like to see us add to URSA!
