 Hey guys, Brandon here. So to give you some context for previous NABs, Blackmagic has managed to steal the show for the past 4 years with their camera announcements. Naturally, this year was no different with the announcement of the Ursa Mini, which is poised to be one of the most interesting cameras announced at NAB 2015 this year. Let's check it out. Linus Tech Tips coverage of NAB 2015 is powered by Sennheiser, Kingston, and Linda.com. The Ursa Mini seems to be the result of Blackmagic finally taking feedback from real world shooters and making a camera that is finally reasonably ergonomic. Starting with the specs, the Ursa Mini now supports two main sensor options, the older 4K sensor from last year's Blackmagic Ursa release, as well as a brand new, impressive 4.6K sensor that claims 15 stops of dynamic range. One of the most interesting things about this sensor is that it has both a rolling and global shutter with the ability to shoot up to 30fps with the global shutter and 60fps with the rolling shutter at 4.6K resolution. If you are not in need of the 4.6K resolution, the camera will also shoot up to 160fps in regular 1080p. Moving on to the physical features of the camera, you can get it with either a Canon EF or a cinema standard PL mount. The Ursa Mini is also sporting a large 5-inch touchscreen that nearly makes up one side of the camera. However, if you do not want to use it, there are also buttons on the exterior of the monitor for easy access to controls like custom function keys and record. For recording media, Blackmagic has chosen the new CFast 2.0 standard of cards, which at the moment are quite pricey, but with more cameras this year adapting the format, I am hopeful that the cost will come down soon. The Ursa Mini also comes with a surprisingly solid remote handgrip that allows you to start and stop recording as well as map other custom features to the other two buttons on the controller. The EVF attached is a $1500 optional accessory that was actually surprisingly impressive. It's a 1920x1080 OLED display that produced a very crisp image. Likely to be my favorite new feature of this camera is the two built in XLR ports in the top that are easily adjusted with the audio dials on the side of the camera. In camera audio is a simple feature, but very few cameras at this level do it well, and with the addition of the built in microphone at the front to complement the XLRs, the Ursa Mini finally looks like a camera that you can take out of the box and just start shooting with. Lastly, in terms of the rest of the I.O. on the camera, it has 2 SDI out, reference in, timecode in, a 4 pin XLR power out with a 12v main power in, a LAN C controller for the remote handgrip, and a 3.5mm headphone jack for monitoring audio. With all these impressive specs and features, Blackmagic has managed to price the Ursa Mini at a very competitive $4995 for the 4.6K version, with an additional $500 for the PL mount version, and having the older sensor version coming at even lower prices than that. As someone who has been using Blackmagic cameras for the last 2 years, I am excited to see Blackmagic truly take the first steps to a well rounded production camera that could suit many shooting situations that their previous cameras may not have been perfect for.
