User's Manual

For information on the types of B4 lenses and how to use them with your camera, refer to the
'Using Servo Zoom Lenses' section in this manual.
Many B4 lenses can be quite long due to their extreme zoom range. When using
URSABroadcast with B4 lenses, your camera's center of gravity will move forward.
Thereforewe recommend using the URSA Mini Shoulder Mount Kit or mounting the camera
toatripod head to help stabilize the camera before attaching your lens.
When mounting URSA Broadcast on the URSA Mini Shoulder Mount kit, it's also a good idea to
mount the camera towards the rear of the shoulder mount base. This moves your camera rig's
center of gravity back over the middle of the mount, making it easier to balance on your
shoulder and rest steadily when sitting on a desk or flat surface. See 'Blackmagic URSA Mini
Shoulder Mount Kit' for more information on fitting the base.
Powering your Camera
Now that you’ve attached a lens, you will need to supply power. The quickest way to power
your camera is to connect external power using the supplied AC to 12V DC adapter.
NOTE When no lens is attached to the camera, the optical element of
URSABroadcast's B4 mount isexposed to dust and other debris. Ensure that you
keepthe dust cap on whenever possible.
