Occultism is a topic that has intrigued and fascinated many individuals throughout history. It is a belief system or practice that involves the study and exploration of hidden or secret knowledge, often pertaining to supernatural or mystical phenomena. The word "occult" itself means "hidden" or "secret," and this secrecy is a defining characteristic of occultism. One area where occultism has gained interest in recent years is within the realm of technology, particularly in the field of videography. The Urs Mini 4k camera has become a popular tool for those who practice occultism in their videography endeavors. The Urs Mini 4k camera is known for its exceptional image quality and versatility, making it a favorite among videographers and filmmakers.

But, hey, global shutter is the tent pole feature of this camera that we envy and you ll see that in your subject s motion and your camera movements. The only downside to using a global shutter is you ll lose a bit of dynamic range, but depending on the shooting situating you can decide for yourselves what you need.

Learning, learning, learning.
Got a middle grey card and exposed using 400 ISO. I'm getting about 5 stops of useable exposure under middle grey and that's with noise removal in Resolve. I looked on Google and couldn't find a dynamic range chart e.g. the one published for dual ISO on the BMCC4k. I'm interested to see what BMD claims for the camera. I would imagine at native ISO it should be like 5 over middle grey and 7 under. I used a spot meter to measure different areas in the scene to determine exposure indices throughout the scene. Obviously I can use +1 exposing to get more latitude in the darker areas.

Don’t believe what any manufacturer claims (apart from Arri, maybe).
As you are already doing your own tests, that’s the way to go to intimately know your camera.
The upper limit, aka clipping, is a hard fact. The lower limit is very subjective one, in particular with carefully adjusted NR. It’s also dependent on subject: a gritty noir thriller can tolerate more noise than, say, a food commercial.
One thing to watch out with dual ISO: the higher values of the low range can be noisier than the lower ones of the upper range.
DaVinci Resolve is very capable even for free, but you need the right hardware!

It helps me to understand what the camera is doing. I also did tests with the three ISO settings and see what folks where talking about in the last thread I posted. Call it digital amplification or look up table, the actual exposure stays the same across the range of ISO settings. Resolve does a good job of mirroring what the camera does internally. A tangent to this testing is a deepened appreciation for lighting techniques. That's going to take me awhile to get proficient with. I get what you are saying about subject too. A lot to consider.

Ursa mini 4K had same production camera 4K sensor that give you since 12 stop of dinamic range (better in ursa that had more heat dissipation). I never see a distribution chart of that stop.
Ursa 4K had only only iso, native is is 400.
Dual iso are pocket4k,6k,6k pro and broadcast g2 (which had 6k sensor).

Ya, it's an interesting setup. I have a couple of BMPCC 4k cameras as well and am learning which camera to use for different circumstances. Later today I am going outside with the mini and the grey card to see how many stops I have before highlight clipping. I couldn't find a distribution chart either so I'll make my own, lol.

Ok, the verdict is in. I get 3 stops above middle grey before clipping. So the camera has 8 stops of usable dynamic range. 2/3 of what BM claims. Interesting.

Edit. Just found a CinaD article where they did lab testing and came up with the same results that I did. They posted it as 8.5 Stops of usable range. They did not note center grey, but we know what that is now.

Not a lot of dynamic range but hopefully manageable as you select your optimum exposure for a scene. But, hey, global shutter is the tent pole feature of this camera that we envy and you’ll see that in your subject’s motion and your camera movements.

I'm not at all unhappy with the camera. I do appreciate the global shutter. I'll put it to good use for sure. Outside documentary work will be a perfect fit. Between zebra and false colors I'm quite happy with the overall image to include relative brightness. As I bought it used, I was concerned about it's function but as I dive in deeper I'm finding it is performing as it should. I've got the BMPCC 4k to take over when I get out of range with the ursa. There was a "blotch" that I discovered when filming against a bright even sky but blowing off the sensor took care of that. Collected some kind of debris somewhere along the line. One more thing to test. Had some noise against a blue sky in one shot. Haven't had a blue sky to work with since. Maybe later today according to the weather report. So far I'm real happy with form, fit, and function. Maybe in another ten years I can figure out how to get some of the footage I see here on the show your stuff thread. I'm in the right place.

Near most of old filmstrip Kodak 35mm (movie I mean, photo is another planet), I did many documentaries with old production camera and in a couple of situation I did also news shot without problems.
The funny thing is that today people want a cube camera to rig, in past for first cinema camera and production camera people moan about the cube format

I not manage from many years shooting did with that camera, but.. may be that you can move dng raw from gen3 to 5 between ofx color space transform and use also a more modern way to develop its color.

No idea but I will be playing with it and see. It produces a very pleasant image within its workable exposure range. To my eye it's not hard to produce a convincing match between the mini and the BMPCC.

When it comes to the dynamic range of the old Production 4K sensor I always felt it was lacking behind the 2.5K and then the 4.6K sensor. Global shutter was the nicest thing about it.
These days with the UMPG2 the only time I’m ever aware of the rolling shutter is the way the sensor captures still camera flashes/strobes. Maybe even a dance strobe light, but haven’t dealt with a lot of those. It captures fast action incredibly well.
With the Komodo using Global Shutter with higher dynamic range and a solid base ISO with low noise I’d love to see Blackmagic revisit the global shutter idea. It certainly captures images in a better method than rolling shutter.

Reviews for "Unveiling the Hidden Realities: Occultism with the Ursa Mini 4K"
1. Emily - 2/5 stars - Unfortunately, I was quite disappointed with the Occultism Ursa Mini 4k. The hype surrounding this camera did not live up to my expectations. The image quality was average at best, and I found the low-light performance to be subpar. Additionally, the user interface was not user-friendly, making it difficult to navigate through the settings. Overall, I feel like there are better options available in the market for the same price range.
2. James - 1/5 stars - I regret purchasing the Occultism Ursa Mini 4k. This camera is a complete letdown in terms of its functionality. The autofocus is slow and inaccurate, making it incredibly frustrating to capture sharp images. Furthermore, the battery life is abysmal, lasting only a fraction of the time advertised. To make matters worse, the camera frequently froze and crashed, resulting in lost footage. I expected better performance from a camera in this price range.
3. Sarah - 3/5 stars - While the Occultism Ursa Mini 4k has some notable features, it falls short in certain areas. The camera's image quality is decent, but the colors tend to be oversaturated and unrealistic. The weight and bulkiness of the camera make it cumbersome to carry around, limiting its practicality for on-the-go shooting. Additionally, the menu system is unintuitive, requiring a steep learning curve to navigate. Considering the price point, I expected a more polished and user-friendly camera.
4. Michael - 2/5 stars - The Occultism Ursa Mini 4k did not meet my expectations. The build quality of the camera feels flimsy, and I found the buttons to be unresponsive. The lack of in-body image stabilization is a significant drawback, especially for handheld shooting. Moreover, the dynamic range of this camera is underwhelming, resulting in lost details in highlights and shadows. Overall, I believe there are better options available in the market that offer better value for money.
