I had a retailer give me the run around, telling me they only had pro's in stock that were full priced, and didn't know when they would have the upgrade cameras .After speaking with blackmagic about the issue, they sorted the situation out and I had my camera in a week after I made my call to blackmagic. You should call them, so you can hear for yourself if it's discontinued or not. And if it's not, then B&H should not send mis -information out before confirming with blackmagic.
Ladies and gentleman, all the URSA majors have been discontinued. I'm sorry if that wasn't clear in my post after I spoke to Dan May. They are no longer producing any more URSAs. Could they change their mind? Sure, but it was communicated to me that not enough URSAs were being sold to be profitable.
The only thing on the table now is the turret upgrade. That is the only thing that was communicated to me to be still in the works. It was also communicated that there 'should' be official communication by now regarding the turret upgrade for the URSA. That has not happened. I received the exact same email from B&H. And btw, B&H has not been wrong to date regarding the information they have posted with regard to Blackmagic products. The only misinformation or lack of information has come from Blackmagicdesign. The URSA mini pro has been listed as a replacement for the URSA 4.6k for months now on the B&H site.
In fact, B&H sending that email leads me to believe the turret upgrade is up in smoke as well. That along with the absence of an official statement from Blackmagicdesign.

I would not take that email with a grain of salt. Blackmagic is aware of the email. IF it was a mistake and you were a company that had a product that B&H said was discontinued, you would immediately issue a statement saying that product is not discontinued.
