Alongside the new URSA 4.6K and URSA Mini cameras, Blackmagic Design also announced the new Micro Cinema Camera and Micro Studio Camera 4K at NAB 2015, priced at $995 and $1,295, respectively.

Blackmagic Micro Cinema Camera-12

The Micro Cinema Camera is designed with remote operation in mind and, specifically, as a cinema-grade drone camera. It has a Super 16mm-sized image sensor with an active Micro Four Thirds mount.

Blackmagic Micro Cinema Camera-14

In lot of ways, it is similar to the Pocket Cinema Camera; however, it has no display on the camera body in an effort to reduce size and whittle the camera down to the bare essentials.

It features an expansion port with a DB-HD15 connector and breakout cable. This allows the camera to be controlled by a remote transmitter for easy integration into drone operations.
