About the Kondor Blue KB-URSAM-TP URSA Mini Top Plate
The KB-URSAM-TP is a precision-engineered top plate designed to expand the accessory mounting capabilities of the Blackmagic Design URSA Mini series of digital film cameras. Crafted to integrate seamlessly with the camera's chassis, this component provides a rigid and stable platform on the camera's upper surface for attaching a wide array of production accessories essential for professional cinematography. By offering a concentrated grid of industry-standard threaded mounting points, it allows filmmakers to securely attach wireless video transmitters, on-camera monitors, microphones, LED lights, and other critical tools without compromising the camera's balance or obstructing its core controls. The plate is meticulously designed to maintain full access to the camera's built-in LCD screen, status indicators, and user buttons, ensuring that core functionality remains unimpeded while the system is built out.
Constructed from high-strength aluminum alloy, the top plate delivers an optimal strength-to-weight ratio, adding minimal mass while providing maximum structural support for expensive and delicate accessories. Its installation is straightforward, typically utilizing the camera's existing threaded sockets or accessory mounting points, which allows for a secure, tool-free attachment in many cases. The surface is finished with a durable hard-anodized coating that resists scratches and wear from frequent accessory changes, ensuring a long service life even under demanding production schedules. This thoughtful engineering transforms the camera's relatively compact top profile into a versatile and robust mounting hub.
This product exemplifies a focus on user-driven modularity, effectively addressing the common challenge of limited native mounting options on modern camera bodies. It serves as a foundational building block within a larger ecosystem of camera support gear, enabling cinematographers to customize their rig to the exact needs of each project. By providing a reliable and expansive mounting solution, the top plate empowers creators to work more efficiently and creatively, ensuring that essential tools are always within reach and securely fastened, whether shooting in a controlled studio environment or on a challenging location.
