Capture Cinematic Brilliance with URSA Cine 12K
Step into the world of professional filmmaking with the Blackmagic Design URSA Cine 12K LF Camera with EVF Top Handle Kit—a camera system engineered to deliver unparalleled image quality and cinematic aesthetics. The URSA Cine 12K represents a significant leap in digital cinema technology, offering filmmakers a stunning 12K full-frame 36 x 24mm sensor, 16 stops of dynamic range, and Blackmagic RAW recording for unprecedented creative control.
Bundled with a bright USB-C electronic viewfinder (EVF) and an ergonomic top handle, this versatile kit is built for seamless, high-end productions. The camera body itself combines advanced functionality with a rugged, lightweight design ideal for both studio and location shoots.
Next-Generation Full-Frame 12K Sensor
At the heart of the URSA Cine 12K lies a newly developed full-frame 12K sensor, boasting an incredible 12,288 x 6480 resolution. With a larger sensor and bigger photosites compared to its predecessor (URSA Mini Pro 12K), this camera achieves 16 stops of dynamic range, giving you rich detail from deep shadows to bright highlights.
The camera’s RGBW sensor architecture ensures balanced color reproduction, with equal amounts of red, green, and blue pixels. This unique design delivers vibrant, lifelike color in every frame, no matter the resolution. Whether you’re shooting in 4K, 8K, or 12K, the in-sensor scaling allows for clean downsampling and noise-free images, without any crop, preserving the full field of view of your lenses.
Precision Engineering for High-End Productions
The URSA Cine is designed to meet the rigorous demands of professional cinema and broadcast environments. The camera’s evenly weighted magnesium alloy chassis is both durable and lightweight, with a carbon fiber polycarbonate skin that enhances portability on set. The soft-touch, backlit buttons are easy to operate in any lighting condition, making it ideal for fast-paced production settings.
It includes a fold-out 5″ touchscreen on one side for quick shot review and setting adjustments, along with a second 5″ LCD monitor on the assistant’s side. This dual-screen setup allows multiple operators to work simultaneously—ideal for complex production environments.

This allows cinematographers to use a vast range of modern cinema lenses, vintage photographic glass, or specialty lenses for stylistic effects. Each mount also features electronic contacts for lens metadata, useful for both real-time monitoring and VFX work in post-production.

EVF Top Handle Kit – Enhanced Ergonomics and Vision
This URSA Cine package includes a high-quality EVF (Electronic Viewfinder) and an adjustable top handle assembly. The bright EVF connects via USB-C and delivers an accurate, color-true view of your shot, even in harsh daylight. Combined with the lightweight handle, operators can comfortably shoot handheld or quickly adapt for gimbal, crane, or shoulder-mounted setups.
The EVF and top handle provide more than convenience—they enhance the overall ergonomics and operational efficiency of the camera system, ensuring you can focus on the story rather than the gear.
