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.

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.
The URSA manual states the HD-SDI connection used for the Viewfinder is 1080 HD. There is no stipulation of 60p that I see. I wonder if this would be appropriate for the Blackmagic Cinema Camera 2.5. The Viewfinder only comes into it's own by being able to use the embedded information in the HD-SDI signal for the various displays. Hopefully, someone will report what they find out in using this.

Not at all. The BMD handle and other items are easily mounted.
