Phil A 346 Posted March 2, 2017 Author Share Posted March 2, 2017 Also the interchangeable mount is a really big deal. It opens the door for someone to make a dumb MFT or E mount and bam, put your focal reducer on it! Full Frame, 15 stop sensor, raw recording camera. Geoff CB 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mercer 4,180 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I don't think you can rig a micro 4/3 or Sony E mount because you would have to go inside the body and closer to the sensor...

I think? Depends on how much space that ND filter wheel takes up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Super Members Mattias Burling 3,000 Posted March 3, 2017 Super Members Share Posted March 3, 2017 The MFT is open for all to use. The patent for EF expired the year before the BMCC EF was released. Sony E is still protected and they aren't letting anyone have it. If they would we would have seen E-mounts everywhere. There is however another full frame electronic mirrorless mount. The Leica SL. Maybe they would be ok with it since they dont make video cameras. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Django 1,072 Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Personally I'm really excited about the Nikon mount, especially the way they did it with smooth aperture control ring. Well that's if I was in the market for a Ursa Mini Pro that is.. Geoff CB 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kgv5 62 Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 I cannot see one picture of ursa mini pro with side handle attached. I wonder if side handle will be included with the set. Which lens mount is included by default? Canon? EDIT: oh well, i dont know how could i missed this: in tech spec is that canon mount is by default and side handle is included. Side handle probably just doesnt look very PRO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kisaha 1,744 Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 @kgv5 side handle is cool, but where is the top handle?! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kisaha 1,744 Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 @Phil A They should have included this, and some basic battery option out of the box. It is too much to expect people buy everything as extras. Other companies offer active top handles (with inputs, buttons and other things) in the basic kit, and at least a battery.

Phil A 346 Posted March 3, 2017 Author Share Posted March 3, 2017 @Kisaha I think it's accepted to work like that for these products. After all, buying a RED brain brings you nowhere either until you splurge on a lot of accessories, basically increasing your investment by 50-100% with the lower models. I love the idea of the Ursa Mini. I actually considered getting the UM4k for filming at our place (studio situation stuff we do) until I decided that there's probably no way to match it to the Sony (with my skillset). Then you just wall plug it and get a CFast to SSD adapter. But if you need a V-mount plate, batteries, multiple CFast cards, the EVF, the shoulder mount set... no thanks.

Zak Forsman 932 Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 for $59, you could outfit it with this top handle from SmallRig. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kisaha 1,744 Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 @Zak Forsman That is exactly my point, for a few $ they should have include everything (even in some basic form) that one expects from a newly buy-ed camera. Small details like that make a difference to a quite substantial chunk of the market. Some companies even include some basic media to their packages. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
