Blackmagic Design has released their URSA Mini SSD Recorder, along with the Camera 4.5 Update which adds support for the new recorder that attaches to the back of URSA Mini Pro digital film cameras for recording RAW or ProRes files to SSDs.
Blackmagic URSA Mini SSD Recorder – $395
Add a high capacity SSD recorder to your camera for longer shoot times!
Blackmagic URSA Mini SSD Recorder lets you record Cinema DNG or ProRes files directly to standard inexpensive 2.5 inch SSD media! The recorder uses a 6G-SDI data link and connects to the camera’s back plate between the camera and battery. Everything is controlled directly from the camera, so you don’t have to operate the recorder separately. The SSDs can even be mounted on your computer using a Blackmagic MultiDock so you can edit and color correct right from the cards!
