Once again Blackmagic break new barriers with a 12K camcorder. We are only just tinkering with 8K and now 12K.

Apart from internal dual CFast and SD UHS-II card slots, there is a USB-C connector for recording on external drives. The camera comes with a PL lens mount which is interchangeable to EF or F mount. There is internal ND filter as well. The URSA Mini Pro 12K will be available in July 2020 for £8,095.

I’m assuming the £8,095 is ex VAT, but do you know if it includes the EVF?
HDW : Unless BM have had a change of heart the VF is extra, about £1800 upwards.
Weirdly I could see it being great for time-lapse imagine shooting at 12k and slowly cropping into 1:1
