David, I’m getting pretty rusty recalling the details on your camera, but can you use the same lenses you have on the Canon 70D? If the lenses are all EF-S, you should still be able to cover the sensor on the original URSA 4K camera—the 4K sensor is slightly smaller than the Canon sensor.
By the way, the recommended plate is the true Sony VCT-14. The VCT-U14 may or may not work with the URSA. If possible return it and get the VCT-14.
You should probably get a V-lock battery plate compatible with the URSA. There are a lot of reputable V-lock batteries, with a wide range in capacity. You want a battery that supplies at least 14.8 volts or higher. Voltage drops as you shoot and the camera may shutdown if voltage gets below the recommended 12 volts.
If you’re flying, the Li-ion battery should not exceed 100 WH. I use a 270WH battery that lasts me a day’s shoot on the URSA Mini 4.6K camera. Your camera draws more power though so you may need two batteries if you buy the smaller batteries depending upon your shoot. If you’re in a Studio, use the mains power with the included power adapter.
On the BMD Support webpage, click on the camera tab and then scroll down to find the URSA manual and last URSA firmware update. The URSA manual should read read carefully and that will help answer many of the questions you’ll have.
Did you also get the Resolve (Studio) dongle that was included with the original URSA? If not, download the free Resolve which is nearly a full implementation of Resolve. The Studio version is relatively inexpensive if you do need those additional features.
