"We cannot recommend this product for professional work. We reached this decision after repeated failures in the field, experienced both first-hand by LR-folks and second-hand via rental clients. Though it might work much of the time, it is our opinion that this product’s performance is too unpredictable to be trusted on high-value projects.

"Thanks for reaching out to us! Here is a list of regular customer complaints for the URSA camera series:

• Intermittent audio and signal interference through XLR ports
• Fixed pattern noise interference recorded in the image
• Dropped frames during HFR acquisition (even approved cards/frame rates)
• Memory card corruption (loss of important data)
• Camera settings changing on their own
• Scan mode/field order issues on recorded footage
• Choppy/no playback of recorded footage
• Color changing/inaccurate LCDs
• General overheating problems

We have only offered the URSA 4.6K for a couple of weeks, so it was given the benefit of the doubt for the first few rentals; although, some of these issues having started popping up already, so now it is getting the same treatment as all other URSAs we rent. Refunds are no longer given for issues with these cameras. Please let us know if you have any more questions/concerns, and have a nice day!

Guys anyone know if this adapter should work for Minolta md lenses on 4.6k ? I have a couple md lenses I like to use on it https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00AT96CZE/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1474764982&sr=8-6&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=minolta+md+to+canon+ef&dpPl=1&dpID=41Gt8ZN3roL&ref=plSrch

Also anyone know the widest possible lens to use on the anmorphic 4:3 mode with out seeing much vignetting on 2x anmorphic ,I'm thinking 40-45mm is max ?

In case it helps anyone, if your USRA Mini shipped with 3.3 Firmware, it would appear that you cannot upgrade to 4.0 (the released version).

In my case the procedure was to downgrade to 3.0 and then make the jump to 4.0.

I completed the 4.0 upgrade today and have run a card through the camera. From what I've seen 4.0 really is a jump forward on this camera.

I would buy this camera, IF I could mount sony glass into it. After small research, that doesn´t seem to be possible. Or is it?
