Hey all! Proud owner of a new URSA Mini Pro (arrived Friday). I'll be releasing an unboxing video later today and subsequent testing videos this week.
Some quick questions for BMD or other URSA Mini Pro users as I'm finding issues:
1) On my unit, if focus peaking is turned on to shoot, it stays on for playback, and cannot be turned off without switching back to record mode. Is this a common error that can be fixed in the next firmware upgrade?
2) On my unit, the menu wheel and back button are entirely non-functional. Is that a problem with my unit, or have these buttons not been incorporated into the firmware yet?
3) It's nearly impossible to use the iris wheel when shooting from the hip with the screen out and turned up; any chance of getting an option to re-map the functionality of that button onto the menu wheel, which is more easily accessible?
4) It's very easy to adjust the little metal levers for ISO/shutter/WB up while shooting, but much more difficult to get my fingers in to adjust them down. I know this is a larger design issue, but I wanted to let your design team know about it.
5) When shooting 4K, Off-Speed Recording is of course capped at 60p. So the HFR button will only take me to 60p. But realistically, usually when I am going for HFR, I'll want to drop the resolution to 1080p with a sensor crop to get 120p. Any chance of an option on the HFR button to have it automatically make that change in settings to allow for 120p without digging into the menu, manually changing those settings, and then having to manually increase the Off-Speed frame rate up to 120p from 60p?
Overall, though, I'm impressed with the improvements from the URSA Mini to the URSA Mini Pro - so that very much to the BMD design team for listening to our feedback!
