With the release of the URSA G2 and URSA 12k, is the G1 now better value than ever?

    The image quality you get from that URSA is amazing.

    I’ve owned and operated my Ursa Mini Pro 4.6k Pro for about 3 years now and love it. This is a camera that you purchase when you understand the type of work you want to do. It’s not built to be a run and gun camera. It’s also not a great low light camera. Who is this camera for? For people that are professionally lighting their scenes and doing proper pre-production AS THEY WOULD IF THEY WERE ALEXA OWNERS. The BRAW codec is great in post. If you invest in color grading education, this camera will give you Alexa quality imagery. If you are shooting a low light scene, GO DOWN ON ISO NOT UP. Highest I’d go is 400. You’ll get super clean blacks. For low light scenes, go to ISO 400 and light from there.

    I bought a G2 from a friend for 4000 in euro's with a bunch of assescoires like a c fast card, a v mount battery and the shoulder kit. Best purchase of my life.

    Hey there - do a test in a near dark situation and set the ISO to 400 or 200 for a low DR shot. You'll find the image is surprisingly clean when pushed. If you do lowlight with ISO 800 there's no room to push the shadows and it's noisy.

    I just love the image that comes out of the camera. Thought about getting one as well, but decided to get the bmpcc6k, as it dropped in price and I mainly needed another camera for gimbal work. Anyway, love your videos man! Small advice: Lower the volume of the music to -30db in the talking head segments. It's a little bit easier to focus on what you're talking about.
  • Been using the G1 since about a week after they announced it (March of 2017). It's a great camera. We've put it through brutal conditions and it just keeps making beautiful images. You'll love it.
  • Very nice shots with the piano and the artist singing! I have the G2 and I struggle to get my images to look even remotely like that what do you use to grade it, a lut or all manual.

    Sick video’s man I really like your style of colourgrading. Can you maybe do a video on How to colourgrade in davinci?
  • @Belamarimages
    Yep, beast of a camera! Have mine G1 ever since it came out. Keeping it but also thinking of getting G2 in 4-5 months (or if BMD come up with G3 non 12K). 👍

    Hey man. I'm gearing up to shoot and pitch a sizzle for a reality show and hopefully take it to pilot. I am considering swapping out my bmpcc4k for the 4.6k G1 so I can have a more ENG approach to managing the shoot (if it were to take, I would probably upgrade to the G2). I think we are both BMD fans--so maybe you understand my desire to "keep it in the family," so have you had a chance to compare this to the BMPCC4k? Not just IQ but overall workflow? Thanks! Great work! I love your stuff with the BMCC. Ace!
