Why the Blackmagic Design Ursa Mini Pro 12k cinema camera may not be what "we" were asking for but may very well be a revolutionary force in digital motion picture capture. Blackmagic raw is just getting warmed up.

Our Blackmagic Design Ursa Mini Pro G2 is malfunctioning within months of returning from repair
Don't get me wrong, I adore the Ursa Mini Pro G2... When it works RELIABLY. Around 4 months after being repaired (it wouldn't turn on) our G2's monitor is now going blank or giving us a pink screen of DEATH. This isn't going to be the most entertaining video but the camera demonstrated this issue multiple times while I filmed this. Anyone else having or had this issue?
I'm thinking I just have a dud, and will be sending it back tomorrow and requesting a replacement (rather than a repair). Will let you know how that goes..
Blackmagic Raw Episode 1: Compression →
In this episode 1 of 3 of our Blackmagic raw series we look at comparing the various compression flavours of blackmagic raw in the Ursa Mini Pro G2 (and the BMPCC 6k) to see if you can see the difference on YouTube in 4k from a 90+ GB 10bit Cineform file upload. 12:1, 8:1, 5:1 and 3:1 + Q5 and Q0. Which is best and for what situations?
