Nikon Mount for the URSA Mini 4.6K PL/B4 cameras?

I assume this only works with the URSA Mini Pro and not the original URSA Mini?

Is there any way to get a Nikon mount on the original URSA Mini Pro? (other than getting the EF version and using an adapter)

No, this was evaluated when the Ursa Mini PL came out, and it did not work. Only the Pro has aNikon F mount. Getting a NikF to EF adapter on each lens was the best solution for the Ursa Mini EF. The PL version is great for PL and B4 Cine lenses.

I hoped a NikF Mount would have happened for the UM PL camera, and HotRod Cameras investigated the possible and it never made it to Production, even though we had a dozen or more pre-sold. I use both PL and a nice Zeiss ZF set. So the best, but most expensive solution turned out to be the Ursa Mini Pro for a large sensor camera.

If you can live with a little less DR and a small sensor, then the Ursa Broadcast, which is the UM Pro case with a S16 UHD sensor, for only $3500, and it will take the Pro’s NikF Mount. This is probably the route I am going to take.
