Super Members Mattias Burling Posted September 10, 2015 Super Members Share Posted September 10, 2015 And Blackmagic have dropped the regular URSA with $1000.Personally I'm waiting on all of it pushing the used prices of the BMPC4K even further down. So I can by my third maxotics, IronFilm and Flynn 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronChicago Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 I thought the URSA 4k only had 12 stops DR, and the 4.6k had 14. I could be dead wrong. Superka, Axéfilm Cinematografia Indipendente and dwijip 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stronz Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Yeah I thought the 4K version was the same previous sensor and the 4.6K sensor is the new and improved one. That's how it's listed on B&H as well:http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1137314-REG/blackmagic_design_cinecamursam40k_ef_ursa_4k_digital_cinema.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwijip Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 false alarm, that's the 4K version apparently. Same sensor as the original ursa. Although curious to see how the ursa mini camera is in general, aside from the image quality from the sensor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Killer. I'm on the horn tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattH Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Yes. The Mini Ursa 4k is just a Mini Ursa. The Mini Ursa 4.6k is has the new sensor. This is important to realise because unlike the full size ursa you cannot change the sensor afterwards. They do look quite small in these pictures which is reassuring.(Oh and who thinks this is to help stave off attention for whatever sony Is about to release tomorow?)

filmvoltage Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 The 4.6k is supposed to have 15 stops, not 14, but in reality it will probably work out to 11-12 usable stops.I just with BM would put out some more test footage of the 4.6k sensor. I can deal with the wait, I'd just like to know if it's worth waiting for.Also, does this new mini-ursa have a different "2.0" 4k chip than the original ursa?Sony FS5 is going to be announced tomorrow, and I have a feeling Sony's going to have another "Mic Drop" like they did last year with the FS7 and A7s.

Super Members Mattias Burling Posted September 11, 2015 Super Members Share Posted September 11, 2015 Also, does this new mini-ursa have a different "2.0" 4k chip than the original ursa? Apparently it's been fiddled with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turboguard Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Ugh, I'm gagging. I want this so bad. But there's so much extra to buy to get it up an running right, like expensive battery, Cfast cards, THE EVF and then a lens! After all that extra stuff, what would be THE lens to get if I can only afford one to start with, aaah. All this want want want! I'm making a gofundme account, accepting all donations! Thanks!

TheRenaissanceMan Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 It looks good in that picture. Small, nice shape, sleek, lots of buttons without looking cluttered. The launch pictures are always so kitted up it can be hard to tell what the base unit looks like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sudopera Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 This time shipment delays are obviously for a good reason, some new features were added.

Daniel Acuña Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 I just want to look at some footage! So I can have a better opinion on the new sensor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volker Schmidt Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 The footage of the Ursa 4k is still impressive!The Ursa Mini 4,6K is in my Opinion the most interesting upcoming camera.https://vimeo.com/104918710 Santiago de la Rosa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately not something which would interest most of us here. Makes it anamazing doco camera too (if only it had ND filters built in....).I wonder if the PL mount could be swapped for a Nikon F mount, just like it can be swapped now for a B4 Mount?? If so, it could make the PL version be the perfect option for me!!Pity about them dropping GPS functionality. But understandable sudopera 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
