URSA Mini Viewfinder modification kit

PostFri Nov 20, 2015 4:56 am

Wooden Camera just posted a video showing their new accessories for the URSA Mini. The one thing that caught my attention was the Viewfinder modification kit. Wonder how the two cables are run and if that modification voids the warranty.

Looks well done for those who want options other than the standard BMD URSA Mini shoulder kit.

It is quite a deal for $300. To bad they (Wooden Camera) don't offer a version without the tools for $250.
All you need is a $1500 EVF to completely dissamble to get the much more compact WC edition.
Wished BM just offered this as an Option for $1200!

But Rick, this is a great deal, if you want to use the BM EVF on a non URSA camera. WC also need to offer an 4-pin XLR to mini XLR power cable to use on cameras that do have an aux. power plug, like the URSA.

Remember it is $295 for just the Top Plate; the base kit is $934.

You do not have to use it with a Wooden Camera a EVF bracket kit (base kit), you could add this to a number of EVF brackets, like the X-tender series friction brackets.
