Blackmagic Design URSA Cine 17K 65 (Body Only)

The Blackmagic Design URSA Cine 17K 65 Body Only represents a revolution in professional digital cinema cameras. Designed for filmmakers who want the ultimate in image quality and flexibility, this camera features an impressive 65mm RGBW sensor with a resolution of 17,520 x 8,040 pixels, capable of capturing incredible detail in the most challenging lighting conditions. With a dynamic range of 16 stops, it offers exceptional rendering in both highlights and shadows, making it ideal for high-end cinema productions, such as films for IMAX screens or projects that require extreme sharpness.

One of the strengths of this camera is its versatility: thanks to the interchangeable PL, LPL and Hasselblad mounts (with the Body Only version including the PL mount as standard), users can choose from a wide range of cinema and medium format lenses, adapting to any creative need. The large sensor (55.9mm diagonal) requires lenses with a larger image circle, but Blackmagic Design already supports premium lenses such as Leitz Thalia, Tribe7 Blackwing7 and Panavision 65, with more options to come as the camera continues to grow in popularity.

The Blackmagic URSA Cine 17K 65 isn’t just a shooting device, it’s an integrated ecosystem for film production. It includes an Blackmagic Media Module so you can record over 4 hours of Blackmagic RAW at 17K or up to 20 hours at 4K, all without having to change media while shooting. This, combined with advanced connectivity including high speed Wi-Fi, 10G Ethernet and mobile data, allows fast file transfer to the Blackmagic Cloud, making the workflow from shooting to post production incredibly seamless. The camera also supports RTMP and SRT live streaming, perfect for real time broadcasting or remote monitoring.

The camera body is made from a magnesium alloy with carbon fiber and polycarbonate body that is lightweight yet durable and designed to withstand the toughest conditions on set. It features industry standard connections such as 12G-SDI, USB-C, XLR audio, Lemo and Fischer connectors, making it compatible with professional accessories and easy to use in demanding production environments. An optical low frequency filter (OLPF) works with the sensor to improve color fidelity by reducing moiré and aliasing, while Blackmagic RAW processing preserves every detail for uncompromising post production using the included DaVinci Resolve Studio.

This “Body Only” version is designed for customers who already own film accessories such as handles, baseplates or batteries, and is a more affordable option than the full kit. The Blackmagic URSA Cine 17K 65 Body Only is the perfect choice for professionals who want to customize their setup without sacrificing the high-end performance of this cutting-edge camera.
