Ursa Mini 4.6K is not switching on with battery

PostSun Oct 24, 2021 6:46 pm

Hi everybody!

I have an Ursa Mini 4.6 k. I always used it with a battery and never had a problem. But today it switched off suddenly when I was using it. Then I thought it was an empty battery and changed the battery ( I do have 5 batteries). It could not switch on. However, when I use the power cable, then the camera switches on correctly.

Does anyone had the same problem like the one I just described?. I would be grateful for any help !!

Thanks!

Check in manual the plate mount setup, may be that after many times of lock and unlock of battery some cable could be disconnect on plate.

I had the same problem. I had to send my URSA Mini to Blackmagic. They couldn't fix it and kindly offered me a new one. I hope it's only a cable problem that you can fix yourself.

Thanks for your reply.
What part of the camera did Blackmagic send you as a new replacement?. The plate?, the body?-

Many many thanks!
