About the Blackmagic Design BMD-BMURSACA/HGRIP Camera URSA - Handgrip

The Blackmagic Design URSA Handgrip is an ergonomic accessory designed to provide comfortable and secure handheld operation for URSA Mini Pro and URSA Broadcast camera models. It addresses a fundamental need for camera operators who frequently shoot without a full shoulder rig or tripod, offering a more stable and natural hold than gripping the camera body directly. The handgrip attaches securely to the left side of the camera (when viewing from the rear) via the standard 1/4"-20 and 3/8" threaded mounting points located on the camera's side handle mounting rail. Its sculpted shape is designed to fit comfortably in the hand, reducing fatigue during extended shooting sessions.

Constructed from durable, high-quality materials to match the build of the URSA cameras, the handgrip features a non-slip rubberized coating for a firm grip even in wet or cold conditions. A key functional element is its integrated record trigger button. This allows the operator to start and stop recording without taking their hand off the grip or searching for the camera's main record button, which is crucial for capturing spontaneous moments and maintaining focus on the shot. The grip is a simple, passive accessory—it requires no batteries or cables—and is quick to install or remove, providing flexibility based on the shooting style required for each project.

This accessory is part of Blackmagic's ecosystem of modular components for the URSA series, enhancing the camera's usability in documentary, event, and run-and-gun filmmaking scenarios. By improving handling and adding a convenient record control, it transforms the camera into a more responsive and operator-friendly tool for solo shooters and small crews.

FAQs about Blackmagic Design BMD-BMURSACA/HGRIP Camera URSA - Handgrip

Which cameras are compatible with the Blackmagic Design URSA Handgrip?

The handgrip is designed specifically for Blackmagic URSA and URSA Mini line cameras (including URSA Mini 4K, 4.6K, Pro 4.6K, and Pro 12K models). It connects physically and electronically to allow ergonomic shoulder-mount or handheld camera control.

What camera functions can be controlled directly from the handgrip?

It features an integrated record start/stop trigger button, an iris (aperture) control button, and a focus toggle button. When used with compatible electronic lenses, it allows single-operator control without needing to take your hand off the grip.

How does the handgrip connect electronically to the camera?

The handgrip connects to the camera’s dedicated 12-pin or 2.5 mm LANC control port via an included coiled LANC cable. This interface delivers communication for recording triggers, autofocus confirmation, and iris adjustments.

What physical mounting system does the handgrip use?

It uses an industry-standard ARRI-compatible rosette mount. This allows the grip to lock securely at any angle of rotation, preventing slippage during demanding handheld or shoulder-rig operation.

Can the handgrip be relocated or used with extension arms?

Yes, because it utilizes a standard ARRI rosette and a flexible coiled cable, it can be mounted directly to the camera body or mounted to an extension arm (such as the one included in the URSA Mini Shoulder Kit). This lets operators position the handle forward and low for balanced shoulder shooting.

Does the handgrip require external batteries or separate power?

No, the handgrip draws its minimal operating power directly through the LANC connection from the host camera. It requires no internal batteries, dedicated power switches, or charging cables.

Does the handgrip work with third-party cinema rigs and cages?

Yes, as long as the third-party cage or baseplate features an ARRI-compatible rosette and your camera supports standard LANC communication protocols.

Is the grip designed for right-handed or left-handed use?

The handgrip is ergonomically contoured specifically for the right hand, placing the record, focus, and iris buttons naturally under the thumb and index finger. It cannot be flipped for left-handed use due to the molded palm shape and control layout.
