Heavy material throw URSA Broadcast G2 off balance.

By Michael
Rated 2 out of 5
Date: 2024-04-28

Okay, this is a nice viewfinder that is well built and the picture quality is very nice, but the big problem is that the viewfinder is so heavy that if you plan to use this as a shoulder mount ENG style run-and-gun, it throws the camera off-balance significantly from left to right requiring too much manual correction. It is also notable that you can not flip open the viewfinder's eyepiece diopter like a traditional Sony ENG viewfinder. So in the end I am really torn. I like the URSA G2, and the design of this viewfinder is very solid... but way too heavy and not versatile. You may want to investigate all your options before jumping into this.

question

Has anyone used the URSA viewfinder and the Zacuto Gratical X? Which is better?
Asked by: Robert
From what we are hearing, the URSA viewfinder is excellent and works perfectly with the URSA cameras. The Gratical X is exactly the same as the Gratical HD only does not have the same software. Therefore the X has the same great image as the HD thus making it a world class viewfinder. The Graticals have the advantage in that they can be used with any camera while the URSA viewfinder really is just for the URSA's.

What are third party top handle options that can be used with the URSA viewfinder?
Asked by: Yoram
You most third party top handles that mount via single 1/4"-20 would work with the Blackmagic Design URSA Viewfinder and your URSA. The Wooden Camera Mini Top Handle for Canon C70 (BH #WO282700) for instance would work well.

Is this compatible with the new URSA Cine 12K LF?
Asked by: Origin
The Blackmagic Design URSA Viewfinder is not compatible with the Blackmagic Design URSA Cine 12K LF Camera (Body Only, Canon EF). You would need the Blackmagic Design URSA Cine EVF, https://bhpho.to/4hBP47z.

Will this work on the Black Magic Production Camera?
Asked by: s
The URSA Viewfinder is designed to work with the URSA line of cameras. The SDI output of the Production Camera will work with the URSA Viewfinder, however you'll need to power the Viewfinder separately and will have to rig something up to mount it.

question

Does it work with the blackmagic cinema camera 2.5k? I read somewhere that it only accepts 1080 60p signals...
Asked by: Mateo C.
I am afraid that this Viewfinder is made specifically for the Ursa and Ursa Mini Cameras, it will not work with the Cinema Cameras. However we have viewfinders from Alphatron and Zacuto that will work well with the Cinema Camera 2.5k you may want to consider instead.
