1 Open your camera’s PL locking ring by rotating it counterclockwise until it stops.
2 Align one of the lens’ four flange notches with the locating pin on the camera mount.
Be sure to align the lens for easy viewing of the lens marks.
3 Tighten the PL locking ring by rotating it clockwise. If attaching a PL lens with a servo
unit to URSA Mini PL or URSA Mini Pro, you can also connect the 12 pin broadcast
connector for servo control.
4 To remove the lens, rotate the locking ring counterclockwise until it stops, then gently
remove the lens by pulling it directly out from the camera body. There is no need to
rotate the lens.
URSA Mini Pro PL Mount
URSA Mini Pro’s PL mount features four pins at the 12 o’clock position that are used to
communicate with lenses featuring Cooke’s /i Technology interface. The lenses that
support this interface include lenses from Canon, Cooke, Fujinon, Leica and Zeiss.
Thislets you record lens information in your clips’ metadata such as the lens model,
focal length, aperture setting, focus distance and other lens specific information.
When mounting a PLlens with /iTechnology to
URSAMini Pro, make sure the lens pins align
withthe mount pins at the 12o'clock position
The information that is recorded as metadata via Cooke’s /i Technology interface
canbe very helpful in post production and VFX. Knowing the lenses used in
productionand their precise settings can be helpful in the event that the setup
needsto be replicated at a later date.
This detailed information can also be utilized by powerful applications such as
DaVinciResolve and Blackmagic Fusion for a wide variety of advanced functions.
Forexample, the recorded metadata can be used to simulate the specific lens in
3Dspace, or correct lensdistortions.
URSA Mini Pro and URSA Mini PL support control of PL 35mm lenses with servo handgrips.
When the lens is plugged in to the 12-pin broadcast connector on the camera, URSAMini will
provide power and control signals to your lens in the same way it does with B4lenses. For more
information refer to the ‘Using Servo Zoom Lenses’ section in this manual.
NOTE When no lens is attached to the camera, the glass filter covering the
sensor isexposed to dust and other debris. Ensure that you keep the dust cap on
whenever possible.
