SHAPE URSAKIT Blackmagic URSA Mini Kit with Mattebox & Follow Focus

The SHAPE URSAKIT Blackmagic URSA Mini Kit with Mattebox & Follow Focus is designed to provide a balanced shoulder mount solution for long hours of comfortable handheld operation. This kit also includes the SHAPE Matte Box 4x4 for optimal light control and filtration options. The ergonomic and robust SHAPE Follow Focus Pro is also a part of this bundle, with quick attachment, removal, and repositioning.

The bundle can be used shoulder mounted, tripod mounted, or attached to V-lock tripod adapters. It is intended for use with external viewfinders. The baseplate features rosette adapters for ARRI standard handles, and includes a removable shoulder pad. It has 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 tripod mount threads and a V-lock delta adapter for attaching a SHAPE VCT Tripod Plate (VCTSH) or any VCT-14 tripod plate (not included).

The shoulder pad secures via hook & loop fasteners (tripod mount threads are located beneath the shoulder pad). The rod adapter can be adjusted vertically by removing the screw holding it in position, for attaching a mattebox and other accessories. This baseplate also supports optional SHAPE 15mm Studio and 19mm Studio adapters in place of the included adapter. The baseplate features (3) camera mount slots, all supporting 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 screws.

Off-center slots allow the user to mount the camera offset if using a 15mm Studio Adapter (not included). 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 mounting threads are peppered behind the three slots for attaching articulating arms and other accessories. The bundle includes (2) 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 camera mount screws, (1) pair of 8" 15mm female-to-female rods, and (1) pair of 4" 15mm male-to-female rods. The rods are constructed from anodized aluminum with 1/2"-13 threaded female extremities. 

The SHAPE URSARH Blackmagic URSA Mini Remote Extension Handle features an adjustable arm extension for the side hand grip provided with the URSA Mini (sold separately). It utilizes SHAPE's patented Push-Button technology for easy angle adjustment and 360° rotation. The extendable arm is equipped with a ratchet key to easily adjust the length of the arm. The remote extension arm enables users to attach the URSA Mini side hand grip directly to the ARRI rosettes of a baseplate.

• Easy access to the record start/stop, iris and focus button on the side-hand grip
• Features the patented SHAPE Push-Button with 360-degree rotation for several positioning options
• Knob screw to adjust the length of the extendable arm

The SHAPE 2-Stage 4" x 4" Matte Box accepts lenses with up to a 100mm front outside diameter. It mounts to 15mm LWS rods and utilizes a swing-away design, permitting quick lens changes without having to remove the mattebox from your rods. You can adjust the height of the mattebox in relation to the rods, when your lens center to rod center height is slightly off of standard. Two rotating filter stages support 4" x 4" filters. The mattebox includes a top flag (eyebrow), side flags, (4) donuts in 66mm, 72mm, 82mm, and 90mm sizes, and an elastic donut. The mattebox has a 100mm diameter rear aperture for lenses.

The included anti-reflection donuts (for lenses with a front outside diameter of 66mm, 72mm, 82mm, and 90mm) prevent light behind the camera from reflecting from any filters in the mattebox and degrading the image. The included elastic donut supports lenses with a front outside diameter between 66mm and 90mm, and is especially useful with lens housings that articulate as you adjust focus or zoom.

The side flags incorporate a hook design as a safety feature where they attach to the mattebox. This helps prevent them from falling out of the mattebox should the lockdown thumbscrew become loosened, accidentally. The swing-away bracket features height adjustment, enabling you to compensate a total of 0.65" vertically. This enables use of this mattebox with a variety of camera/rod support combinations that may vary slightly from the industry standard 85mm distance from LWS rod center to lens centroid.

The SHAPE Follow Focus Pro is a single-sided follow focus system with an integrated 15mm LWS rod adapter, handwheel with adjustable hard stops, adjustable gear arm, removable marking disc, and (2) 0.8 pitch focus gears (28 Teeth & 43 Teeth). Constructed from anodized aluminum.

• Follow focus system for use with film and cine-style lenses
