Blackmagic Design had a nice pre-NAB surprise in March: URSA
Mini Pro 4.6K.
It is much more than a mere evolution of the URSA Mini 4.6K.
They made all the right moves with all kinds of great details.
The new URSA Mini Pro gets built-in ND filters, interchangeable
lens mounts, camera left-side outside LCD display and control
panel, thoughtful ergonomic switches and dials for faster and
easier operating. The body is the same size as URSA Mini 4.6K, so
all the existing accessories will fit and work.
The sensor is the same as URSA Mini 4.6K: up to 4608 x 2592
resolution with 15 stops of dynamic range and the same wide color
gamut. Three ND filters with IR compensation can be summoned
up with the twist of a dial: Clear, 2, 4 or 6 stops.
URSA Mini Pro’s main display on the surface of the camera’s left
side shows timecode, shutter and lens settings, battery, recording
status, and audio levels. The display is backlit and designed to be
visible in both dimly lit studios and outside in direct sunlight.
Open the display door and a 4-inch LCD touchscreen monitor
resides on the other side. (In comparison, the URSA Mini 4.6K
monitor is 5-inches. Something had to give—one inch—to make
room for the new ND filters and controls.)
