This is an M5 guaranteed.
But I doubt it can carry on because M5 has short arm.

The maximum load for an M5 is 5 lbs, M10 is 12 lbs, M15 is 15 lbs. the URSA Mini camera with a lens is going to exceed the M5's capacity.

and you should considering the Vlock battery...
They should have to put at least an M10 or better M15.

Andrea, in that photo it looks like the URSA Mini is not getting power from an attached battery. Does the MoVI supply power to the cameras?

Wow the m15 is nearly 3 times the cost of the Ursa mini when fully rigged!

No Rick the MōVI does not power that itself. But is possible to use the same liPo battery of the MōVI M15 much power than M5. Look the Alexa mini on the M15 with the lipo batt at the bottom.Image

Thanks, Andrea. I was thinking it might have its own battery with a tap for the camera like the DJI Ronin M.

Letus Helix supply power to BMCC, RED Epic/Scarlet and Sony F5/55.

DJI Ronin

The URSA Mini seems to fall well within the supported weight limit of the DJI Ronin which is 7.25kg (16lbs). There will be enough to support a lens and even battery (depending on their individual weights)

The photo you linked is of an M15 which can hold the weight of heavy cameras like URSA and Alexa. M5 can't do that. Guaranteed.

Really!!!...not because I didn't know. Since I had an M5 and now I' am M15 owner.
You wrote that the official picture was an M15, I wrote is an M5. Garanteed! Look carefully.
Maybe you should read the topic before you write this.
