Blackmagic Design Slashes 12K Camera Price
Blackmagic Design has slashed the price of its URSA Mini Pro 12K camera from US $9 995 (excluding sales tax) to US $5 995.
That’s a whopping $4 000 off in the US.
In Australia we’ll pay $9 435 GST inclusive.
A short time ago I checked around and places like VIDEOGUYS AUSTRALIA have the camera listed for $8 699.
Another $736 off.
So how did Grant Petty’s (Blackmagic Design CEO) team do it?
The price reduction is due to manufacturing efficiencies plus improved supply of 12K sensors.
Blackmagic Design makes high quality digital film cameras affordable.
“Since we released Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro 12K last year, we have been working hard to increase the supply of sensors and make improvements in our manufacturing processes to help reduce costs”, said Grant Petty, CEO, Blackmagic Design.
“This new lower price, combined with the incredible 3x faster speed of DaVinci Resolve makes high resolution 4K and 8K workflows more accessible.
“It’s totally mind blowing that you can edit high resolution 8K in DaVinci Resolve, on an Apple M1 notebook!”
So this is one of those occasions where it literally pays to wait.
The new rendering engine in DaVinci Resolve 17.3 makes all that high resolution relatively easy to work with on a computer, even if it’s a laptop.
Blackmagic Design tells us that it’s showing speed improvements up to 3x when working in 4K and 8K resolutions.
The URSA Mini Pro includes a full version of DaVinci Resolve Studio.
