I agree with Howie on this one, I looked into trying to rig a Micro camera up with a shoulder mount, and to do it right would run $500-1K in rigging bits, plus the EVF.
A B4 lens adapter for the Micro is going to run you $1200 also, so now you are looking at $4-5K for a rigged Micro camera.
The BM EVF for the Ursa Mini would need modifications, like the Wooden Camera mod kit, to make it work with the Micro camera. A better bet would be a SmallHD 501 running off HDMI with the SideFinder, or a Cinroid EVF, which also has HDMI and SDI in/out. The BM EVF is SDI only, and not loop through, so it is not really going to give you a monitor and SDI out to a switcher using the Micro camera.
Everything with the Ursa Mini shoulder kit and BM EVF work together seamlessly to give you a much better balanced shoulder rig on the Ursa Mini 4K, which also adds a Globally Shutter to the mix, and should be easy to color balance to your other cameras.
