Finally! New footage shot with the Blackmagic Design URSA Mini 4.6K camera and it looks SWEET!
This is a nice URSA Mini 4.6K samples with a ton of different skin tones, lowlight, backlight and shadows. I think the image looks great! Outside of the Youtube compression in some of the shots and thats no fault to the camera. It’s nice to see the varity of diffrent skin types too. Really gives you a good idea how it handles them. Heck he even gave a look at some over craning.
Thank you Roman Lah for doing a simple clean grade without that milky look that is so popular now. It’s fine for your project but when you want to see what a camera looks like it’s well annoying.

“Thanks guys for watching, just a couple comments: The skies are completely overcast. No skies are blown out here, even though it may kind of look like it. This video was shot with vintage lenses and diffusion so it will have a very different look than what super crisp modern lenses will give you. If this footage wasn’t your cup of tea, don’t worry more is coming that looks really different from what I’ve posted here. This footage is me stress testing the camera and nearly every shot was over and under exposed and then fixed later. It certainly isn’t a clean REC 709 look, but I’m going to post that kind of stuff next!”
The lowlight shots look very good too. Noise seems under control. Don’t know how high the ISO was but probably 800 or the capped 1600. If it is 1600 that would be promising.
I highly recommend head over to this tread on BMCuser. Roman adds a ton about the shoot and thoughts on the URSA Mini 4.6K
More sample footage from today.
Shot in ProRes 422 again, a few shots in UHD, mostly in 1080p. Some Crop sensor mode 120fps, some full sensor 60fps.
In some of the running shots there is some clipping here and there – but not much. Again – all Rolling shutter here.
So what you think and for the love of god get this camera released already 😀

For the love of Thor, finally some test footage. It looks very nice. A colleague of mine is trying to sway me against the Ursa Mini 4.6k based on its below-some-other-cams ISO levels. How did you fair shooting the dark scenes? Was it a problem for you? Do you think this camera is too incapable in low light for small budget/personal work? Any additional opinions of your would be great. Thanks!
