Are we CRAZY for buying 6 of these!? - Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro 12K

The video opens with Linus showing off six units of the Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro 12K, an 80 megapixel cinema camera that Blackmagic positions as a high resolution option for film and documentary work. The host highlights what’s in the box, noting the included power supply and that the camera ships without a power cable, which means you’ll need a spare from your kit. Early impressions emphasize the camera’s heft and build quality, including the PL mount and built in ND filters. The discussion then shifts to the form factor, weight, and modularity, comparing the URSA Mini Pro 12K to the RED system and underscoring how Blackmagic packed essential features like audio controls, timecode, SDI, and a flip-out screen into a compact body. The host also explains that the camera is designed for ENG style operation with a ready-to-use layout of controls, while acknowledging that the out-of-the-box power solution requires adding a battery plate for practical field use. The segment closes with a hands-on overview of performance specs, including the 12K resolution and the camera’s standardized Blackmagic menu system, and a tease of how the team plans to integrate six units into their workflow for a unified camera system.
