Prefect timing with this video, because my new job (just started this month) has a Blackmagic Camera I haven't ever used, and seeing that you have tried to use it make me feel better and more confidence in learning how to use it. Keep up everything!
Film Riot I'm a software developer and can give some advice on preventing your emails going into spam if you like? You need to set some spf and dkim dns records. Been watching your show since the start keep up the awesome work!
Film Riot don't do this again. Not everyone is using Twitter and Facebook and than this shit comes where you say: account made for this getting banned from the "game".
FilmDude I'm in San Diego, I've been doing photography but not videography. It seems like there's a great opportunity here, with jobs fetching at least a thousand or two for multimillion dollar homes. Which is most of them. The properties here are so expensive, and the realtors get so much money in commission, that it's starting to look like there's a great opportunity to be had. Hence, I'm considering buying the Ursa Mini 4.6K.
My work has had the Original BM Cinema Camera, it has its perks, but I could never get over the tiny sensor. A while back, we rented the 4K Ursa Mini. It was a fantastic camera to shoot with. Glad to see you guys doing a Blackmagic review. I struggled with their products up until this camera as well.
The trick with the black magic cameras is to shoot at its native iso and then boost the exposure in resolve. I know this works when shooting raw, so you would shoot at 800iso and raise the exposure +1 and you will have a better noise pattern. Also, the camera needs to "warm up" to get better noise quality.
Really cool camera, been lucky to play with one recently too. One thing to note is the updated software recently released that makes some huge improvements to access and utilizes the touch capabilities far more. Recommend installing it. Cheers for a great review, direct and to the point.
Love my Ursa Mini 4.6k.....the dynamic range for the price is unbeatable. Not to mention the ability to shoot 4.6k raw etc. Awesome camera even with some of it's limitations.
The 5d is also pretty outdated. That said, the ursa mini is not quite as inexpensive as it sounds. Storage and batteries for the Ursa mini are really expensive, while those things are really cheap for a dslr or mirrorless camera
Definitely wouldn't go with Canon DSLR's nowadays (high ends are still just fine). Many people have been switching from Canon to Sony (including myself) and love them.
Sony cameras are bad too. They have bad dynamic range and the rolling shutter performance. If you were lucky enough to see the HBO camera stress test they did with all the top cinema cameras from each manufacturer, the Blackmagic image is the only camera under 10K that holds up to the image of the Red/Alexa cameras. I think the Blackmagic image is even better than almost all of the Canon Cinema Series lineup all the way to the C700.
You want to stick to ISO 800 as that's it's native ISO even when you film in low light, it is only boosting the levels of the footage in camera the same you would in post so filming at 800 gives you maximum quality and maximum control over exposure too. Going to 400 again will lower the quality as its baking in a exposure adjustment that could be more precisely done in post.
400/800 is a load of crap. Low light depends on the right shooting conditions as to what ISO you can use. There's a guy who runs the Faymus media channel and he does a really bad low light test where he can get the Blackmagic to produce a usable image at 6400 ISO. By comparison, this guy did an opposite end of the spectrum test to produce a bad ISO iso performance at 1600. For normal shooting conditions where your image is not black and you try to boost it in post like this person did, the image is very fine at 1600. This low light test he did would make any camera look bad.
Good review. The top handle makes a huge positive difference to using this camera! The native ISO is 800, and like you said, the new firmware makes the menu even better! (Huge improvement to audio settings too)
This camera is a beast. I have been eyeing it from months. But sad there is no global shutter. But i would still like to have it s it contains a lot more than what it doesn't have. It's the best under 6000 bucks. Great crisp review. :)
There is also new software coming out soon which is only beta version at the moment, which makes the menu system even more nice and simplistic. This has so far none of the problems that the older large Ursa had, a much better camera.
I have had this camera for about a year and I have never been so disappointed. The image quality is great yes, but the camera has some very prominent quirks (typical Blackmagic) the fixed pattern noise is my biggest issue, but to be honest the newest firmware update is not too impressive.
One note about Cfast cards in general: Look for some Cfast to SSD converter units. It is cheaper, more flexible (storage wise, not in terms of equipment).
Don't you prefer the 4K version over the 4.6K, since it's cheaper and has a global shutter? 4.6K can only be used for 4K stabilization and slight croped shots.
The Beta firmware makes using the Ursa Mini so much easier as it allows for real time changes to be shown on your screen/view finder. However, as it is still in beta form it is very buggy and will require you to press "reset camera settings" a few time on a day's shoot - though it is a positive sign for where there are taking the software in the units.
Great review. Refreshing to hear someone else who doesn’t often shoot with shoulder rigs. And reassuring to hear that the UMP works for you for handheld work on that front. You may well have just nudged me over the edge. My wife will be in touch with your complaints department soon ;)
Well actually Global Shutter is not always an advantage. Rolling shutter is a more realistic representation of how Film works because the shutter in a film camera is a circular shutter that spins and rotates really quickly. It produces a fairly mild rolling shutter effect. As long as you scan the image quickly enough on a digital sensor, then the rolling shutter effect is not a problem and if anything matches the look of film.
hi ryan. i bought me the ursa mini 4k and im so happy with it. I didn t need the 4.6 because im 14jears old and the 4k version is still expensive. every monday night ich watch your vids (im from germany). keep up the great work. P.S. i know the vid is older
I just filmed my first short with the 4K version. Not a fan. The 4.6K version might solve a lot of things I didn't like but I don't think I'd want to use it either unless it was just the right project.
After reading several 3 star reviews on some well known sellers, has Black Magic fixed the Magenta problem with the chip as well as their customer service? Thanks.
Ha ha - one of the best, but most succinct reviews ever. It's probably worth mentioning (also) that the Ursa Mini is one of the few cameras at this price point that shoots 12 Bit raw (uncompressed, 3:1 and 4:1) plus all flavors of ProRes (which is all 10 Bit) from LT to 4444 XQ with DNxHQ coming soon - it does VFR in 1080 up to 120fps and up to 60fps at 4.6k as well. It's also nice that it comes with Davinci Resolve Studio, which is worth it for the noise reduction and retiming tools alone! :-)
Looks like a really decent camera. I like the menu! To all filmmakers: If you are doing a short in Bloodtober and you need custom music for it, I would love to compose some creepy stuff!
Good review thank you. it seems every camera review I see mentions the low light issue. even the new Red 8K REd Epic-W. Is there a camera out there that actually works well in low light, and having said that, is there really a new for a camera to perform in low light? It seems that in any film or production worth anything some type of lighting setup would still be needed.
would you really recommend this camera? I mean knowing that Magic lantern is working on the 5d mark iv makes me doubtful about chosing ursa mini over the 5d.
ISO in my experience has never been the problem. To avoid FPN do not underexpose and try to bring back in post. At best you can bring back 2 stops of light, but you really have to fight to get it looking decent pushing that far. Always better to overexpose and dial it back. In low light situations you will never see results like a Sony cam or even a Canon for that matter, but it allows you to shoot indoors under dim lighting, which was near impossible with its big brother. I haven't shot too much at ISO400, and usually shoot at 800 the base ISO and use a VariND, with no real problems. Couple other notes: new firmware is amazing, don't be fooled by the beta title, the beta is very much a working version and well worth the functionality. I always shoot on the shoulder with viewfinder unless I'm on tripod, which so far has been rare. Overall, I love shooting on the camera, and I use it as my workhorse, but it is not the right camera for every job. I plan on backing it up with a Sony a7sII or similar camera for smaller or more low light shoots, and maybe try as Bcam to the URSA
You are the best Ryan........ please help me with full tutorials on editing music videos with Adobe Premiere Pro cc or the HITFILM editor. Really need to know how to edit music videos, thanks
I'm going to New Zealand this upcoming January and I'm on the fringe on getting this. How do you (or anyone in the comments) think a barebones rig would fare? I'd for sure get a battery, and I'm bringing a glidecam, but other than that I'm not sure how much I'm willing to haul in the middle of nowhere.
UnratedAwesomeness The C100 is great. I use it at work. My only problem with it is that in certain shades of dark blue can give it a hard time. Other than that, the camera is bigger than you would think. So, you may run into some issues with gimbals.
400 should be clean, 800 begins to show noise. At least, that's the case with the 4K. I don't know about the 4.6K but apparently it's got a higher usable ISO level.
The R4v3n Nevermore Ok thanks for the advice! Yeah I've been eyeballing that c100 for a while now. New one's been coming out every 2 years so hopefully a new one gets announced and the mk 2 will drop in price? hehe a man can dream can't he?
UnratedAwesomeness The only thing that I don't like about the mk 2 is that the view finder is giant. So, it really limited the tilt range when we used it with our Movi m10.
i'm like a nightowl, Just Love the Moonlight and being outside when its Dark. the whole Feeling of the night is Just magic to me, so the Point that this isnt realy a lowlight camera Made me a bit sad. whatever, greatings from Germany ;)
Did you guys have trouble with crosshatch patterns on your 4.6k cam? ... seems to be a debayering artifact, that's occurring in windowed mode and gets worse when scaling the image ... we have the issue on ours and the forums are full of suffering owners... bmd rma'd some of the cams with mixed results... anything on your cam?
Does it have physical dials or buttons for iso/shutter/iris? I don't want to have to tap into a touch screen menu to adjust the exposure of my camera when I'm running and gunning.
I found a old clip I never used in my film. I recorded it on the black magic ursa mini 4K. I filmed it on a 1950's train. Anyway I found the clip last night and color graded it. Would love for you to check it out on my page.
Are you fine gentlemen aware of any way to scan through LUTS over an image or footage in a quick view scenario as seen at the end of your video here on a MAC OS? Appreciate any feedback... Thanks. Nickolas
You mentioned in this video that you don't have to use Cfast 2 cards in this but will lose some shooting modes, can you give me a short answer to what cards you can use in basic modes? I am most concerned with the 4:1 compressed raw and then all 4.6 or 4 k modes, possibly 1080P in some situations. Thanks in advance and love your videos!
Go x0.25 speed at 4:26 and you will see 1 last frame of Ryan talking got doubled the colour correction filter. No idea how I saw that in the first place...
Hi Ryan! I'm planning to shoot a 90'' ad. Do you have any advice on how to write and plan a scene in order to keep it in a given time frame? I mean, the final result will be a number of scenes edited together to get to a 90'' short story, how can I write, for example, a 17'' scene? Is there a sort of "equation" like X words/lines = X seconds? Thank you for your work, it's gold!! Keep it up ;)
I'm a simple man. Film Riot releases new content, I watch. Always learning something new/interesting.
HELL TO THE YEAH
they stoped doing Videos for Beginners!!!:(
Gosh if only there was some way of watching all the videos for beginners they made previously.
SPY FILMS - Watch his older videos then?? I'm growing as Ryan is growing. If you're still at the same level you were in 2012, there's a problem
Why a Problem im 17 :D? I just like the Old videos with Simple steps and Low buged .. now its to Professional
Prefect timing with this video, because my new job (just started this month) has a Blackmagic Camera I haven't ever used, and seeing that you have tried to use it make me feel better and more confidence in learning how to use it. Keep up everything!

I'm totally going to buy one of these... The dynamic range would make real estate interiors a breeze
I can vouch for that. Its nice to be able to see out windows.
Is real estate video in demand these days?
FilmDude depends on where you live. To be clear it's not the highest paid work, but if you can do multimillion dollar homes, you do alright

+NRC Thanks!
and @ 3:59 my logo
His logo is based on the mark for the distant between the sensor and the subject aka the focal plane mark.
Giancarlo - the sensor marker (where you measure from to know where to set focus)
Oh damn! I just got that now that you mentioned it
Wow I just now realized what your logo is when it was on my camera forever. I just thought it looked cool.
Nate's Film Tutorials - You have a channel giving filmmaking tutorials and you don't know what the sensor marker is? It's used to set focus precisely.
Finally Ryan reviews the camera I've been trying to get him to review for months!!!!!!! Thank you film and movie gods!!!!! Winning!!!

Does anyone else realize the Film Riot channel has been up for more than 10 YEARS now?! how awesome is that!
I'm loving the Psycho look at 9:17. Very unique B&W. I'm loving it.
This video couldn't have come at a better time. Using an ursa mini on a shoot in november for the first time and needed to do some research!
I got my ursa mini back in January and I'm loving it. It's so much better than the old canon I had before that.
Anything you had Ryan Booth DP I will gladly watch :)
Really cool camera, been lucky to play with one recently too. One thing to note is the updated software recently released that makes some huge improvements to access and utilizes the touch capabilities far more. Recommend installing it. Cheers for a great review, direct and to the point.
Love my Ursa Mini 4.6k.....the dynamic range for the price is unbeatable. Not to mention the ability to shoot 4.6k raw etc. Awesome camera even with some of it's limitations.
The 4.0 menu system blows this one away! its so amazing!
Great video as always guys, the bar you have set for yourselves has only been rising and I love it!
Damn at with the price points nowadays it doesn't even make sense to even look at buying a 5d anymore. Damn times have changed.
The 5d is also pretty outdated. That said, the ursa mini is not quite as inexpensive as it sounds. Storage and batteries for the Ursa mini are really expensive, while those things are really cheap for a dslr or mirrorless camera
Yeah you're definitely right about the ursa mini. The 5d iv is pretty up-to-date though! Depending on what you're planning on shooting of course.
Definitely wouldn't go with Canon DSLR's nowadays (high ends are still just fine). Many people have been switching from Canon to Sony (including myself) and love them.

If you were lucky enough to see the HBO camera stress test they did with all the top cinema cameras from each manufacturer, the Blackmagic image is the only camera under 10K that holds up to the image of the Red/Alexa cameras. I think the Blackmagic image is even better than almost all of the Canon Cinema Series lineup all the way to the C700.
@@overnightclassic2 where can I find this HBO stress test?
@ryan - update that firmware to 4.0. It is life changing for this camera.
and then I finished the episode and realized you couldn't upgrade it.... ..... so when you do, you'll love it.......(slowly walking away)
The camera loves to live at ISO200... Noise is gone then.. but yea, it is super noisy as you go up in ISO.
I have the Ursa 4.6k and it is brilliant! You definitely need the 4.0 firmware, it makes it even better!
You want to stick to ISO 800 as that's it's native ISO even when you film in low light, it is only boosting the levels of the footage in camera the same you would in post so filming at 800 gives you maximum quality and maximum control over exposure too.

+elliott mariess From my tests, 400 yielded better results. Held the highlights better too.
They updated the interface! Not sure if you've seen it, it makes the run and gun game pretty easy!
Such an awesome little camera but ISO 400/800 just kills me

Haha will buy it soon and now you made a video about it. Finally a review from you! But I was pretty sure already that I am going to buy it
Good review. The top handle makes a huge positive difference to using this camera! The native ISO is 800, and like you said, the new firmware makes the menu even better! (Huge improvement to audio settings too)
Video starts at 1:59
Personally I liked the image from the Ursa Mini more than the C300. Low light wasn't great though, but it's a movie camera
This camera is a beast. I have been eyeing it from months. But sad there is no global shutter. But i would still like to have it s it contains a lot more than what it doesn't have. It's the best under 6000 bucks. Great crisp review. :)
We love your channel! Thanks for all the hard work your team puts in!
This is such a beauty! Really hope stars align and with Harambe blesses me so I could get my hands on this!
It's pretty impressive how much BlackMagic has improved the menu settings ever since the original BlackMagic camera!
There is also new software coming out soon which is only beta version at the moment, which makes the menu system even more nice and simplistic. This has so far none of the problems that the older large Ursa had, a much better camera.
I have had this camera for about a year and I have never been so disappointed. The image quality is great yes, but the camera has some very prominent quirks (typical Blackmagic) the fixed pattern noise is my biggest issue, but to be honest the newest firmware update is not too impressive.
I also had a test shot of the black magic ursa mini on my channel. I'm using the Sony f7s on my newest shot, I love it! I hooked the Odyssey up to it.
I've been waiting for you guys to do a video on the Ursa for so long!!!
One note about Cfast cards in general: Look for some Cfast to SSD converter units. It is cheaper, more flexible (storage wise, not in terms of equipment).
Don't you prefer the 4K version over the 4.6K, since it's cheaper and has a global shutter?
4.6K can only be used for 4K stabilization and slight croped shots.
The Beta firmware makes using the Ursa Mini so much easier as it allows for real time changes to be shown on your screen/view finder. However, as it is still in beta form it is very buggy and will require you to press "reset camera settings" a few time on a day's shoot - though it is a positive sign for where there are taking the software in the units.
Loved the video, those close ups of the eyes were super duper sharp. Plus I'm real hyped for bloodtober
Great review. Refreshing to hear someone else who doesn’t often shoot with shoulder rigs. And reassuring to hear that the UMP works for you for handheld work on that front.
You may well have just nudged me over the edge. My wife will be in touch with your complaints department soon ;)
I really like the fact that the short films have the most straightforward titles!
Actually just got hands-on with the URSA Mini for the first time last night. Coincidence?
So am I entered in the contest now!? 2 years later!? Yes, yeah? YEAH!!!!!!
love the Sunshine reference at the end
that URSA just looks great...blackmagic really made some nice inventions..i think :D
*Advantages of the 4K version over the 4.6K*
-$2,000 Cheaper
-Global Shutter
Lol, the $2,000 for the extra dynamic range stops is worth it. The 4k only has 12. The 4.6k has 15.
IAN 4000 - I know. I didn't post the advantages for the 4.6K. Those are obvious. I was just pointing it out.
S&S Pictures Oh. I thought you were trying to say that the 4.6K isn't worth it because it's $2,000 more expensive.

Finally a blackmagic design review
Ha ha - one of the best, but most succinct reviews ever. It's probably worth mentioning (also) that the Ursa Mini is one of the few cameras at this price point that shoots 12 Bit raw (uncompressed, 3:1 and 4:1) plus all flavors of ProRes (which is all 10 Bit) from LT to 4444 XQ with DNxHQ coming soon - it does VFR in 1080 up to 120fps and up to 60fps at 4.6k as well. It's also nice that it comes with Davinci Resolve Studio, which is worth it for the noise reduction and retiming tools alone! :-)
I think with a new update the menu structure is made even better. Don't know if it's released yet. Greetings from germany!
Oh... You mentioned this in the video right after I commented xD

oh my god, i'm first, oh my....urm...say somthing cool... "I LOVE YOU RYAN" ......dammit!
best "first" comment I've seen so far! :D
Your timing is fucking surreal Ryan. I was just thinking about buying one
Ryan, 800 is the native iso of the 4.6k and should be superior to 400.
I noticed your file explorer at the end showing off the LUT pack has chrome-like tabs. Is that part of Windows 10? I've never seen it before.
Excellent video, thanks for sharing. What is your workflow for grading the raw footage?
please! just please, make the giveaway worldwide available! ... even if the winner has to pay fot shipping or sonething else.
ISO in my experience has never been the problem. To avoid FPN do not underexpose and try to bring back in post. At best you can bring back 2 stops of light, but you really have to fight to get it looking decent pushing that far. Always better to overexpose and dial it back.

Dig the review, dig the camera.
I'm going to New Zealand this upcoming January and I'm on the fringe on getting this. How do you (or anyone in the comments) think a barebones rig would fare? I'd for sure get a battery, and I'm bringing a glidecam, but other than that I'm not sure how much I'm willing to haul in the middle of nowhere.
At ISO 400, is the image clean? Or is it just minimally noisy. Looking for a camera. I think the c100 might be better for me
UnratedAwesomeness The C100 is great. I use it at work. My only problem with it is that in certain shades of dark blue can give it a hard time. Other than that, the camera is bigger than you would think. So, you may run into some issues with gimbals.

I am just counting this review as also reviewing the BMCC 2.5k lol. I have that one and image wise, I feel like they're really freaking similar
i'm like a nightowl, Just Love the Moonlight and being outside when its Dark.
the whole Feeling of the night is Just magic to me, so the Point that this isnt realy a lowlight camera Made me a bit sad.
whatever, greatings from Germany ;)

Did you buy or rent it?
AMA I rent my equipment through my film school
FilmShredder Sweet. Do you mind telling me how much they charge you (hourly or daily).?
AMA we rent and check out equipment, but it's free for us as long as we don't scratch or break what we check out.
FilmShredder Lucky. I've got to pay for even an hour with it.
What do you think about the Ursa Mini 4k vs the 4.6k?
Film riot, great job. You might not know the impact you make out there
Are you fine gentlemen aware of any way to scan through LUTS over an image or footage in a quick view scenario as seen at the end of your video here on a MAC OS? Appreciate any feedback... Thanks. Nickolas
4k raw or dci? which format?
I LOVE YOU RYAN
Can it record on two cards at the same time? Like first card is for raw and a second one is for proxy footage?
Great review, btw ;)
Got damn I love Sunshine so much
Woooow i sure want to win the black magic😃😃😃😃😃
Same here, probably not happening tho :/
Man 2:50 - 3:10 kills me.... Literally in the bright orb in the sky... Josh:...... What?
You mentioned in this video that you don't have to use Cfast 2 cards in this but will lose some shooting modes, can you give me a short answer to what cards you can use in basic modes? I am most concerned with the 4:1 compressed raw and then all 4.6 or 4 k modes, possibly 1080P in some situations. Thanks in advance and love your videos!
Ryan, is that a specific LUT you're using to grade the test footage? or is it a full custom job
Ha, just unpaused to see the answer to that question
Are those the Zeen primes or are those the original cine primes from Rokinon?
Go x0.25 speed at 4:26 and you will see 1 last frame of Ryan talking got doubled the colour correction filter. No idea how I saw that in the first place...
probably the first review where the menu isn't hated
So will the film riot crew be in bloodtober like previous years or will you guys be behind the camera this time?
I'm in love with the music
Also, what lens did you guys use? Canon EF-based I hope.
He uses the Rokinon Cine DS lenses. (I highly recommend them by the way. I currently now have a 14, 24, 35, 50, & 85). Just have 2 more to go!
IDO to 1,600? Interesting. Still a very good camera though!
Hey Ryan! Are you planning on doing any VFX tutorials soon? Also, due you have an ETA on Intercept?
Hi Ryan!
I'm planning to shoot a 90'' ad. Do you have any advice on how to write and plan a scene in order to keep it in a given time frame?
I mean, the final result will be a number of scenes edited together to get to a 90'' short story, how can I write, for example, a 17'' scene?
Is there a sort of "equation" like X words/lines = X seconds?
Thank you for your work, it's gold!!
Keep it up ;)
