Blackmagic Design URSA Mini Pro12K
Its 12K Super35 sensor captures 80-megapixel images at up to 60fps in 12K 17:9 with 14 stops of dynamic range, delivering exceptional detail. The built-in OLPF and updated IR filtering reduce moiré and aliasing, particularly for virtual production, while dual CFast 2.0 and USB-C recording offer flexible media options. This camera is best for VFX-heavy productions and virtual production cinematographers who need clean, high-resolution footage for compositing and demanding post workflows.
