Jimmy Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 I am a little doubtful that it is footage from the 4.6K... I would have thought one of the better known videographers with close links to BM would be first with footage? Or is this guy linked to BM?

Oliver Daniel Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 I am a little doubtful that it is footage from the 4.6K... I would have thought one of the better known videographers with close links to BM would be first with footage? Or is this guy linked to BM?I thought it was a Sony at first, but I do think this is real URSA Mini 4.6k footage. You can see the thickness of the image in some shots. I think the underwhelming quality comes from the lack of experience grading/exposing/operating the Mini. At this stage, hardly anybody will know how the LOG Gamma curve behaves. Also there's no hint of added lighting in this video - Blackmagic cameras need controlled lighting. Like all cinema cameras. I cancelled my pre-order as work requirements have changed. Also I want to test it first - you can't base much judgement on a camera through random online videos. The majority of "tests" online for all cameras are pretty awful - even the paid for launch videos! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wasn;t 100% sure, as usually that aussie dude puts out the first footageI didn't either... I suppose it's not too inappropriate in the era of internet BS.By the way... There's loads of new info, clips and photos of the Ursa Mini 4.6K at:http://www.bmcuser.com/showthread.php?15520-Brief-thoughts-and-a-bit-of-footage-from-the-URSA-Mini-4-6K/page3 Raafi Rivero and Jimmy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emanuel Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 I had already seen that thread before, I just didn't have time for posting here. A last note for future, though:when we have some doubts the best is to trace the historic of the poster; some other videos on Roman Lah's YouTube don't let much margin for third doubts, the guy seemed legit.The footage seems promising :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it was strange that it didn't come from one of the BM guys... but anyway, we just talking about some camera footage here, not anyones honor... just some pixel peeping fun!

Raafi Rivero Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Not particularly impressed with that footage.If I can cut the onion a tiny bit slimmer -- I'm not loving much of the cinematography in the clips on that thread, but the image quality itself (i.e. skin-tones, dynamic range, rolling shutter, etc.) looks pretty good. It's like, playing on a Fender won't make the average guitarist into Jimi Hendrix. Emanuel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
