If you know the URSA, you understand that “Mini,” in this case, is a relative term, considering the original URSA weighs in at a whopping 16lbs - the URSA Mini is a much more reasonable five pounds. The Mini, as the name implies, is essentially just a miniaturized version of the full size URSA. The most obvious physical feature of the URSA Mini is its design. At the end of the day, image quality is what matters most, and the URSA Mini excelled in this category. Having a fast lens available helps mitigate this issue, but won’t eliminate it. However, this is a light-hungry camera and so does not perform well in low-light situations. As an added bonus, it comes with Davinci Resolve Studio - normally a $995 software package. It also has a wide 12 stops of dynamic range for impressive flexibility in post. It has a truly cinematic look and its super 35mm sensor allows for spectacular shallow depth of field with relative ease. The global shutter eliminates motion artifacts and flash banding. It shoots 4K RAW internally at up to 60 fps, providing absolutely stunning image quality. When it comes to image quality, the URSA Mini packs a punch for its price point. Our response to them: We love this camera, but we do have some reservations about the situations in which the URSA Mini would best perform. While shooting at NAB, we had a plethora of curious camera enthusiasts inquiring about how we liked the camera. For this review, assume we’re talking about the 4K EF mount model unless otherwise stated. There are several different models available from 4K to 4.6K each in EF, PL mounts and even an optional B4 mount kit, so there is an URSA Mini for everyone. We had the opportunity to test out the URSA Mini 4K EF mount, which we used to film our coverage of the NABShow 2016. With stunning image quality, relatively compact design and customization options for many situations, the URSA Mini will certainly garner a slice of the market. The URSA Mini was created to be used on feature films, television shows, commercials, indies, documentaries, music videos and more.
