Review on SMALLRIG Side Plate URSA Mini/Mini Pro/Mini Pro G2 by Blackmagic Design - APS1854 by Gustavo Mathew

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fasten more sch. Things. to your camera!

It's ridiculous that we buy small and light cameras only to go out and buy plates that we can use to attach things to them and make them heavier and bulkier. At least when I was carrying around a tube camera and a "portable" 1" Type-C recorder in the 80's, that's all I had to carry around. Oh, don't forget the gel battery strap (Lead-acid.) (But I digress.) The SmallRig URSA Cheese Plate is a ubiquitous add-on that gives you the freedom to attach all those little bits you can't do without Yes, you can your camera make it look like a medusa during a thunderstorm or the result of a 5 year old child detaching from a editing set and I think it's your right but no one appreciates having to peel that gaff adhesive or velcro off the camera body. And let's not forget the wrinkle factor too, with a $1,000+ device possibly falling out of the camera due to the tape or Velcro coming loose.You can screw any number of things securely to your camera body with this cheesy plate and never have to worry about it. Because IF that accessory falls to the ground, you will be in big trouble (e.g. your camera that was used to film the accessory). firmly attached to it, now also lying on the floor.) If you have URSA. Just buy it.

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Something's wrong
