The Atoch C2S and CCTech off-brand SSD recordersīoth recorders are similar, in that they use breakout adapter cables that are to be inserted into the CFast 2.0 slots, to effective bridge the gap to the SSDs. The market offers two readily available alternatives: And since both devices don’t feature SDI-pass-through, the camera is effectively blocked for wireless transmission units, or a monitor for your focus puller.Īlternatives for SSD Recording on the URSA Mini The Blackmagic URSA Mini SSD Recorder will then block the rear SDI-ports.
Blocking of the rear SDI ports without passthrough: If you use the fabulous URSA Viewfinder (as you should) your front SDI-ports are blocked.Because even CFast 2.0 cards can’t take the full brunt of that codec – and a single SSD can’t either. No support for 4.6k 60p Lossless Raw: The URSA Mini 4.6k and URSA Mini Pro use both CFast 2.0 cards simultaneously for this codec, alternating between both cards and writing one frame to each.Yet, where the recently announced Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K offers the innovative ability to record to external SSDs via USB-C, the URSA cameras still have to rely on CFast 2.0 cards, which despite all price drops, still break the bank for more frugal filmmakers.Īlthough Blackmagic’s own recorder fits the URSA Mini nicely, the community’s reaction has been less than favorable – to say the least. Of course, this has partly been due to the more affordable price tag, compared to other offerings like the Canon C300Mk II, RED Raven and Canon C200, but also the ability to shoot CinemaDNG Raw in 12bit natively, without the need for an additional recorder. Following the introduction of the URSA Mini 4K, the URSA Mini 4.6K and more recently the URSA Mini Pro and Broadcast have garnered a tremendous following, both, among professionals as well as enthusiasts and the short-film-low-budget-crowd.
