I ordered an Ursa Mini 4.6k G2 from MPB. It was listed in “good” condition. Nothing was said to be wrong with it. But, what I received was a camera not only with physical damage, but also not ever booting up whether v mount battery or plugged into the wall. And the worst part, I can only speak with an agent via chat and the agent I got was about as unhelpful as this broken camera I Received from them. My only options were to send it back in for them to inspect and eventually refund my purchase or send it in for them to inspect and eventually exchange, but since the other cameras were listed as “excellent” and “Like new” I’d have to pay the difference.

No thanks MPB. If a camera with physically damaged areas and knobs, plus doesn’t even boot up is considered good I’m not sure if I can trust what “excellent” and “like new” means to them.

NEVER doing business with them again.

I think I’m mostly finished with this one, after stumbling across this awesome SmallRig Vmount.. “rig thingy” I was able to simply ditch the rails. Even have some open power ports for additional devices. It’s pretty balanced too. I’m a happy camper now.

BMCC 2.5K vs BMPC 4K.

If you could only keep one, which are you choosing?

And I am fully aware some would say neither 😌

I think I finally finished this rig, I was trying to fit a swing away matte box on here, but thus far that’s been several duds. Oh well, plan B it is.

I’ve re-fallen in love with these cameras. Just like my twin daughters, they look so much alike, but are so very different.
