Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro PL Mount

The Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro PL Mount is a professional replacement mount that allows you to use industry-standard cinema lenses on your URSA Mini Pro camera. Designed for high-end film production, it enables the secure attachment of PL-mount glass, ranging from vintage primes to modern zooms. To ensure maximum optical precision, the mount comes with an included shim kit, which allows you to perform meticulous flange-distance adjustments so that your lenses maintain perfect focus across their entire range.

This mount is technically advanced, featuring integrated electronic contacts that are fully compatible with the Cooke i/Technology protocol. These pins allow the camera to communicate directly with the lens to capture and save vital information—such as focal length, aperture, and focus distance—directly into your video files as metadata. By combining robust mechanical stability with smart data integration, this PL mount ensures a seamless workflow from the production set to the visual effects and post-production suite.

Product Features in Detail

Industry-Standard PL Lens Support

The URSA Mini Pro PL Mount allows you to utilize the world’s most prestigious cinema optics, from legendary vintage glass to the latest high-performance primes. By providing a rock-solid, breech-lock interface, it ensures that heavy cinema lenses are mounted with zero play, maintaining perfect optical alignment even when using high-torque wireless follow-focus motors.

Cooke /i Technology Integration

Equipped with specialized electronic contact pins, this mount supports the Cooke /i Technology protocol. This industry-standard communication allows the camera to automatically "talk" to the lens, capturing real-time data that is essential for modern cinematography and complex visual effects.

Automated Metadata Capture

With the /i Technology protocol, vital lens information—including focal length, aperture (T-stop), and focus distance—is recorded frame-by-frame directly into your Blackmagic RAW files. This eliminates the need for manual camera logs, saving hours of work on set and ensuring production notes are perfectly synchronized with the footage.

Streamlined VFX Workflow

The metadata provided by this mount is invaluable for post-production and visual effects teams. Having precise lens data allows VFX artists to accurately match digital assets to the physical lens characteristics, such as distortion and depth of field, resulting in more realistic compositing and faster turnaround times.

Precision Flange Distance Calibration

To ensure that your lenses are "parfocal" and hit their focus marks accurately, the mount includes a professional shim kit. These precision-cut spacers allow you to fine-tune the distance between the lens and the sensor, compensating for environmental factors or manufacturing tolerances to ensure clinical sharpness at every distance.

Modular Interchangeable Design

As a genuine Blackmagic Design accessory, this mount is designed to be user-interchangeable. You can quickly switch your URSA Mini Pro from PL to EF, F, or B4 mounts depending on the needs of the project, making your camera an incredibly versatile tool that can adapt to any lens library in minutes.
