About the Blackmagic Design BMD-CINEURSANSVF2 7" URSA Studio Viewfinder G2
The Blackmagic Design URSA Studio Viewfinder G2 is a high-brightness, high-resolution electronic viewfinder designed for professional studio and field use with URSA Broadcast G2, URSA Mini Pro, and other compatible Blackmagic cameras. It provides camera operators with a clear, detailed, and color-accurate image for critical focusing and framing, especially in bright outdoor conditions or under intense studio lighting where built-in LCD screens may be difficult to see. The viewfinder features a robust, adjustable mounting system that attaches securely to the camera's accessory mount, offering stability and ergonomic comfort for extended shooting sessions.
At its core is a sharp 7-inch, 1920 x 1200 resolution LCD panel with a high-brightness backlight, delivering a vivid and contrast-rich image. It includes comprehensive camera status overlays, focus assist tools like peaking and zoom, and supports custom 3D LUTs for on-set color monitoring. The viewfinder housing incorporates a diopter-adjustable eyepiece with a large rubber eyecup to block ambient light, allowing the operator to concentrate fully on the image. An integrated ambient light sensor automatically adjusts the screen brightness to match the surrounding conditions, preserving visibility and battery life.
The viewfinder is powered directly from the camera via a dedicated connection or optionally via DC power input, ensuring seamless integration into the camera system. It includes a headphone jack for audio monitoring and features physical buttons for quick access to menus, overlays, and LUTs. Built with a durable, metal-reinforced design, the URSA Studio Viewfinder G2 is an essential accessory for cinematographers and broadcast operators who require reliable, high-performance monitoring for precise control over image composition and focus.
