Blackmagic Micro Cinema Camera
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.
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.
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.
