Crystal-Clear Focus for Handheld Shooting: The Blackmagic URSA Viewfinder
For cinematographers who thrive in the dynamic world of handheld and over-the-shoulder shooting, achieving and maintaining critical focus is paramount. The Blackmagic URSA Viewfinder is the essential, purpose-built accessory designed to transform your workflow, giving you the confidence to capture perfectly sharp images on every take. It’s an indispensable tool for documentary filmmakers, ENG operators, indie filmmakers, and anyone who operates an URSA camera rig away from a tripod.
At the heart of the URSA Viewfinder is a stunning, high-resolution 1920 x 1080 color OLED display. The screen is so sharp and the pixels so dense, it’s impossible to distinguish them with the naked eye. This creates an immersive viewing experience that perfectly emulates the feel of a traditional optical viewfinder, allowing you to pull focus with incredible accuracy based on fine detail and texture. The OLED technology delivers true blacks and vibrant, precise color, ensuring what you see is what you get.
Designed for the rigors of production, the viewfinder is built for comfort and flexibility. It can be easily adjusted for either left or right eye use and features a 4-element glass diopter with a -4 to +3 range for personalized, tack-sharp viewing. A built-in sensor intelligently turns the screen off when you’re not using it, conserving power and extending the life of the OLED panel. With a simple connection to your camera's SDI and power output, setup is effortless. Top-mounted buttons give you direct control over settings and overlays, while an integrated tally light keeps you and your talent in sync during live productions. It's more than a monitor; it's a dedicated focusing tool that will elevate your craft.
