Why use a broadcast camera over a DSLR camera?
In this video I will go over the benefits of why and where to use a broadcast camera over a DSLR camera for ENG, for documentaries, broadcasting, news, sports, house of worships, and multi camera studio setups. Featuring the Blackmagic URSA Broadcast Camera with the Fujinon 8-128mm LA16x8BRM-XB1A B4 mount lens.

Great review, thanks. How excited are you by the updated version just released?
Hreat great job. Very easy to understand.
Thanks Joel!
Ooh nice
I use this camera
Can you tell us more about the sensor capacity? Can we change the mount for PL or EF lenses?
Have you tried this lens with the Blackmagic Focus and Zoom demands compared to the ones you have? I'm wondering if the speed etc on the BMD stuff is as good
great explanations. How is the lens zoom speed and smoothness compared to higher-end B4 lenses?
Hey thank you! I would say that the zoom speed and smoothness is going to be comparable to the higher end B4 lenses. It didn't feel cheap at all to me. I have used the Fujinon Cabrio Premier lens (not a b4 lens) which is a $13,000 lens and the zoom and smoothness were pretty spot on.
So helpful, thanks for this! Do you mind me asking what model Lectrosonics you're using. I'm in the market for a quality wireless kit and don't mind the older ones...with a lower price! Thanks.
Lectrosonics SRC dual receiver and then SMDWB for the transmitters is what I use. You could always use the LT and LR for a lower price point but I like the SRC as its a dual receiver. www.dvestore.com/lectrosonics-src-dual-channel-receiver-with-superslot/?aff=8 and www.dvestore.com/lectrosonics-lt-digital-hybrid-wireless-wide-band-transmitter/?aff=8
So, I have that exact camera but I have a FujiFilm FUJINON XT17×4.5BRM-K14 lens, I trying to find out what type of mount I need for my camera? Thanks
Hi! Great video! Can it be controlled through the ATEM? For all controls (zoom, iris, focus?)
You can control most of the features iris and color from an ATEM but not the zoom or focus. You would need to use a follow focus system and rear zoom control to operate away from the camera.
@@JoelWallis Actually you can control other blackmagic camera model zooms and focus but not a B4 mount lens.
Great video and well constructed comments; have you ever tried using the G2 with a 40x plus zoom lens. (wildlife scenario) Would be interested in your appraisal. cheers
Does the auto focus control on your b4 lens remain active on this camera? Thank you!
So I have a Panasonic hpx 2000p, what vct plate do you recommend for the camera?
ya nothing beats actual footage
I really enjoyed watching this review, seems like the BMD Ursa Mini Pro is the best choice for eng and documentary work. Great production value.
Thanks brotha! This camera reminded me of the days in film school with shooting with those Sony DVCAM broadcast cameras with the black and white viewfinders that we first started out with. Do you remember those cameras before moving onto the PD-170's and HVX's?
@@JoelWallis yeah, how far technology has come in such a relatively short period of time. No more mini dv tapes, I'm thankful I don't have to log and capture everything nowadays. You still have your VX?
Kevin Beckman omg I don’t miss log and capturing. Thank god for digital. I actually just sold my dvx a couple months ago. Didn’t think someone would buy it but it sold quickly.
I don't see you link for setting back focus on B4 lens.
You can controller the zoom in or out, from the lanc command plug on the camera for this lens?
You are able to control the zoom from the LANC port on the camera body when using the Fujinon LA16x8BRM-XB1A Lens.
Yes it is an all in one solution, but the comparison just do not feel right. I would appreciate a few shots, why to use it and why not, or rigging out a bmpcc for the same results, and then compare it. For example a bmpcc 6k pro on a dji ronin 2 and an external battery. Parfocal lenses are also there to buy, I can't tell you one with the same zoom range, but you could :-)
Hi Péter, thank you for the constructive feedback and you have excellent points for demonstrating different scenarios with sample footage.
I am just about to order 3 of these for my church, and I am very ignorant about what it comes with. Will I need to buy an extra lens after spending almost 4k per each?
Would this work for filming dance recitals?
Does this setup have a possibility to connect 2 remote lens control units? Like zoom for the right hand and focus on the left?
Not that I know of for Zoom but for focus you could add a wireless focus system with a gear ring to pull focus.
@@JoelWallis Most likely it can, but judging by the (sigh) extremely limited information about this lens available on the internet, I can't tell the connection on the bottom side of the lens: if it's the standard 8-pin remote connector, you're out of luck. Those are usually zoom only or either of both (zoom OR focus, requiring you to flip a switch to alter the function of the rocker/seesaw on your remote)
The 12-pin Hirose connector used on Fujinon DigiPower servo units (and probably Canon as well) can offer zoom on one connector and focus on the other while I think (judging by the circuit diagram of one) can also do both on one connector via a digital interface, as the connctor provides an RS232 (or RS485, now I start to doubt which one) connection that activates on the right voltages on one of the other connectorpins.
As this lens itself has servo-focus (this means the focus-ring is NOT mechanical as I like to see it, but operates an encoder that in turn drives a servo to operate the lens-element) I would be surprised if it can't control focus ánd zoom remotely.
Is there built in color controls for live broadcasting?
There are color controls when used with a Blackmagic ATEM Television Studio HD and above models via SDI with the ATEM Control Software as well as the ATEM Camera Control Panel will do the job.
whats the zoom speed from 8 to 128mm, using servo?
It offers low, medium and fast zoom setting speeds.
Can I use this blackmagic for television production?
For sure! Documentaries and filmmaking as well!
Why should we use the only for right eyes on Camera?
Guess most people are right eye dominate.
How is the low light capability of this broadcast cam?
It does okay but isn't the best for low light. However it does have gain settings so you can bump it if needed. Options for the db gain is -6, 0, 6, and 12. With 12 db there will be noticeable gain. If there is a little bit of decent light 6 db should work pretty good but if there are dark areas like shadows then you might see grain.
How wide is the lens. We have a small studio and we put 4 people sitting side0by-side on a news set. If the camera is 8 to 10 feet away so the talent can read the tele-prompter will we be able to see all 4 people?
It’s goes pretty decently wide since it’s a 8-128mm lens :). You should be fine 8-10 feet away depending on how large your text is on the prompter and their eye sight.
How far back from the stage are you with that Blackmagic design broadcast camera are you 100 feet are you 200 ft and how close can you do a head shot half shot and full body shot
but is it most bigger than ursa mini?
The 12k URSA mini body is the same size as the 4K URSA mini body.
Why compare a broadcast camera to a DSLR! No one is confused which of the two they should be looking at surely!
This Camera needs Steadygum. It takes the weight of the camera off up to 80% You can use SteadyGum in every situation, very quick to set up and take off. We strongly recommend you check it out If you care about your back and shoulder pains and need Balance and Stability.
steadygum steadygum thanks for your input and obviously your repping your product but this camera is not that heavy when compared to other broadcast cameras.
@@JoelWallis You may be right Joe, but we have Steadygum for lightweight cameras. Our folks viewing might be interested in Steadygum. As camera operators, we know what it means when it comes to back/shoulder pains, Stillness
, Balance and freedom of movement. BBC, FOX, CBS....etc bought Steadygum for their camera operators.
The Blackmagic Ursa Broadcast with Fujinon 4 K lenses is definitely not a news camera. It's not an ENG camera by any stretch of the imagination. The review just says the camera can be used for field work but it shows no examples and makes no reference to the ridiculously poor performance of this camera in low light situations, the lack of a proper news codec, the badly designed handle and other shortcomings.
I am a news cameraman and bought this camera because I believed in Blackmagic's advertising campaign. I soon found out the camera was not fit for purpose. It's a good camera to use in studio only. There is no way you can use this camera for news work in the field.
I am now fighting to return the camera to the shop where I bought it.
ENG cameras have never been good in low light situations, that's just the truth. All the other points make sense, but stating this can't be used for field work is a bit over the top. I wouldn't do it myself, I'll tell you that, but saying it's unfit for purpose is a bit beyond that.
I NEED HELP MY FRIEND, DO U HAVE A INSTAGRAM?
What can I help you with? My instagram handle is @wallisjoel.
Really! You are comparing an expensive ENG camera to a DSLR? It’s like comparing bananas to an orange. A grapefruit to an avocado. A Lexus to a Pinto. You get the picture. JustSaying.
