Most event footage winds up on UTube or other internet streaming or Cable TV, so the Broadcast Camera 4K resolution, even on a 1-inch sensor, is more than adequate. The Ursa Shoulder Mount and EVF will fit the Broadcast camers.
I personally, would not want to be hauling a Big Ursa around on my shoulder or otherwise to cover an event, where fast movement and agility are required. The right tool for the job. ENG lenses are f/1.4 to 1.9, and the Broadcast is ISO 400/800.

Your right Denny, when i have more funds that is what i will do, for now i only paid £1400 for the brand new big URSA, was sealed unopened from someone who had two given to them (it was their job position within a large corporation)
As its my fist big unit plus very new to this i though it might be a bit of an upgrade to the 70D Canons i use
(i have 3 x 70D and one 7D) hoping to gain more work as well as experience, doing work for free in local area for charities, local events that we might get exposure even if we do not get paid.
A few jobs we have done has helped and paid work is coming in.
Trying to get the most out of this unit before getting an upgrade to better lighter gear.
Two staff and just breaking even, (not paid myself yet for 6 months, luck the wife covers the bills) it is getting there slowly so any help and advice i am grateful for.
Thank you
