Product Information
Full details
The Kondor Blue URSA Mini Cage is designed for professional videographers and cinema camera operators using Blackmagic URSA Mini 12K, 4.6K, or 4K systems who require a robust, versatile rigging solution. Its primary benefit is the combination of comprehensive camera protection with an integrated remote trigger handle that streamlines start/stop operations during handheld shooting, though its weight and complexity may be overkill for lightweight run-and-gun setups.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the cage, align the camera body with the base plate, ensuring all screw holes match before tightening with the provided hex tool. The cage is specifically engineered for the Blackmagic URSA Mini 12K, 4.6K, and 4K camera bodies.

For maintenance, clean the aluminum cage with a microfiber cloth and periodically check the tightness of all 1/4-20 screws, especially after long periods of heavy use or travel.
