Don’t let the “Broadcast” name fool you. This thing is the fully kitted out Pocket Cinema Camera you’ve been wanting. <\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We live in a world where a new broadcast camera really excites me because of the possibilities to plug-and-play with Realtime environments in Unreal Engine<\/a>. For a while now, the URSA line of cameras<\/a> has been one of the go-to cameras for pre-production and pre-viz. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I remember watching the making of the Mandalorian <\/em>specials<\/a> where we get a glimpse of Jon Favreau<\/a> holding an URSA all the way back on the previz for Lion King<\/a><\/em>. The team would use real-time game engine sets connected to a camera so they could properly place cameras and plan movements they wanted in the film. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new URSA Broadcast G2<\/a> is the latest evolution in the URSA line<\/a> that allows everyday and indie creators (like myself) to really get into Unreal Engine<\/a> workflows with off-the-shelf hardware and software. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I currently have a Pocket Cinema Camera 6K<\/a> sitting next to me, and it’s been my main camera for about the past year. That said, I have it fully kitted out with a cage, SSD drive attachment, handles, a monitor, magic arms, adapters, and all sorts of cables<\/a> running into the tiny panel on the side of the camera. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the amount I spent in add-ons and accessories, it’s practically the price difference of just buying the new URSA G2. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
