You can attach your Blackmagic Studio
Viewfinder to the V-lock plate on the top of
the Blackmagic Camera Fiber Converter
The V-Lock mount plate can also be installed on any camera you want to use the URSA Studio
Viewfinder with that has 1/4" mounting points, or by using a third party cheese plate. You can
also mount the Blackmagic URSA Studio Viewfinder to a third party camera system that has an
existing V-lock mount plate as many of them have this quick release plate on them already.
TIP
The Blackmagic URSA Studio Viewfinder connects to the camera via a quick
release V-lock mount plate, which means that the viewfinder can be removed quickly
if you need to take the camera off a tripod. When filming sports matches it can be
advantageous to leave both the Blackmagic URSA Viewfinder and Blackmagic URSA
Studio Viewfinder attached to the camera, so that at the conclusion of the match you
can quickly switch to the URSA Viewfinder for handheld filming. Both viewfinders use
the same 12V power and 3G-SDI cables to connect to the camera, making it easy to
swap cables in such a situation.
