Our editorial take on the Blackmagic Design URSA Mini Pro 4.6K G2
The Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro 4.6K G2 is a Super 35 cinema camera built for productions that need high frame rates, internal RAW recording, and professional flexibility. It shoots up to 120 fps in 4.6K Blackmagic RAW (at 8:1 compression) and 300 fps windowed in HD, making it a strong choice for slow-motion work. The camera records internally to dual CFast 2.0 and dual SD UHS-II cards in both Blackmagic RAW and Apple ProRes codecs, with bitrates up to 360 MB/s. Built-in ND filters (2, 4, and 6 stops) and 15 stops of dynamic range give operators latitude for challenging lighting conditions.
The body is designed for modular builds, with interchangeable lens mounts (Canon EF included, with optional PL, B4, and F mounts), dual XLR inputs with phantom power, and extensive connectivity including 12G-SDI monitoring, timecode, and both 4-pin XLR and 12-pin Molex power options. The included DaVinci Resolve Studio license ties into Blackmagic's post-production ecosystem. At $5,995, the G2 sits in the mid-range cinema camera segment, competing with models like the Canon C300 Mark II by offering higher frame rates and more versatile RAW options.
