Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro - Hands on Review

[@FKfilmphotography]

That's why it's called a CINEMA camera, because when one shoots for cinema, they have total control of everything most importantly LIGHTING. All those going on about low light performance, you should just go buy an A7SII and film in pitch black and then get excited to see an image with little noise. For everyone else who knows how to light, frame, shoot and grade, this is the closest you will get to an Alexa/Red without selling your house.

Hey, just wanna stop by and say, thanks for the review. very honest. And I really enjoy listening to you as wel.. cheers

[@ProAVTV]

Glad you enjoyed the video! Carl

[@SilvisSamitis]

Thanks for mentioning about the SD card raw option. I could not this anywhere online.

[@ProAVTV]

No problem. Although its not really a usable option at the moment. Its just interesting that it can do it! Carl

[@SilvisSamitis]

I saw a Sony SD card that can 299MB a second. I don't know what is the continous write speed though.

Hey ProAV TV, your videos are great. I'm a recent sub, and you guys run one of the best AV channels on KZbin. I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your content.

[@ProAVTV]

Hi Andrew. Really glad your enjoying the content! Welcome to the channel. Carl

[@bob76451]

You mention that for more reactive situations you wouldn't recommend this camera. What would you recommend?

[@ProAVTV]

Canon C300 II or Sony FS7 / FS5 are the most popular options if you want a large sensor. Carl

[@AaronStowers]

Rubish you just need to know how to shoot

[@AnimeZone247]

ProAV TV wait larger sensor? Aren’t they all super 35?

[@sahwah0797]

do you find any fpn with the ursa mini 4.6 k pro?

[@baudoj]

Great introductory video for the camera. It's a real shame that the menu's don't go into any depth i.e color matrix, master blacks, knee etc...am i correct in thinking this?

[@baudoj]

...it even looks like you can't change the zebra's setting..is this correct?!

[@ProAVTV]

You cant change the colour settings in the menus no, but you can change the zebra levels. Carl

[@bobuk5722]

Thanks Carl, well balanced review. I think it's big plus is the raw capability at this price point. Guess that links to having a controlled envirionment. When you do follow up, could you try it windowed HD with a B4 lens? Bob.

[@ProAVTV]

Raw is fantastic to have in such an affordable camera. Carl

[@jononeill2008]

When are the Sigma Cine zooms shipping?

[@setha6096]

How fast is the autofocus?

[@xinliangwei]

very interesting Blackmagic Camera with ND, did you shot this video by FS5?

[@ProAVTV]

I used the C300 mkII to shoot this if thats what you mean? Carl

[@xinliangwei]

C300 II even cooler, love it

[@THEAETHERMARTIAN]

What brand is your tripod?

[@lamar7of9]

What tripod are you using?

[@LowLightVideos]

2:20 - Massive Bezels inside, external Screen a bit puny (could have put the Buttons underneath on top). No Sensor upgrade and loss of Global Shutter is a sad upgrade for another 0.6K resolution (and a respectable 15 Stops instead of 12). Not to mention the upper Frame Rate limit. There stuff is great but always seems 6 months outdated by the time they get into production. This is the Camera they ought to have built, instead of the Ursa.

[@ProAVTV]

I agree that this is what the URSA should have been. I dont mind the lack of a global shutter option. Very few cameras offer a global shutter, probably because its hard to get a sensor in global shutter that looks good enough by todays standards. The 4.6K sensor has its issues sure, but its a big improvement over the 4K sensor they were using in my opinion. Carl

[@div4o]

hi proavTV, just small note to the sd card recording on the ursa mini pro at 3:50. i test it allready and you can go with same card are you using up to 4,6K raw 4:1 in dual mode, just check out my results: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2mUgZZrpbmJbpY

[@guguemichaels]

Honestly, I don't see what the big deal is. Use what you have to tell your story. If you are in a controlled environment (built in ND or NOT), any camera will work. Hell, I shot the first episode of my new web series "What would You Do" with the Ursa mini 4.6k. Everything worked perfectly fine for me: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6HCdKaDd96cidk
