Blackmagic Design USB-C Cable for URSA Mini Recorder
The Blackmagic Design USB-C Cable for URSA Mini Recorder is a high-speed, reinforced data cable designed specifically to link the URSA Mini Recorder to the camera body. Because the recorder captures high-bitrate Blackmagic RAW data (up to 12K resolution), this cable is built to much higher standards than a standard consumer USB-C cable to prevent dropped frames or data corruption.
Core Functionality
-
Secure Locking Connections: The cable features integrated locking thumb screws on both ends. These screws anchor the cable into the USB-C ports on the URSA Mini Recorder and the camera chassis, ensuring the connection remains physically secure even during high-intensity handheld or vehicle-mounted shots.
-
SuperSpeed+ Data Transfer: Rated for USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10Gbps) speeds. This bandwidth is required to handle the massive data throughput of 12K RAW files or high-frame-rate 4.6K G2 footage being written to 2.5-inch SSDs or U.2 NVMe drives.
-
Bidirectional Communication: Beyond just sending video data to the recorder, the cable allows the camera to communicate with the SSD for formatting, checking drive health, and updating the recorder's internal software.

Compatibility & Usage
-
URSA Mini Pro 12K: The recorder mounts directly to the back of the camera, and this cable plugs into the dedicated USB-C port located underneath the rear 12G-SDI connections.
-
URSA Mini Pro 4.6K G2: Since the G2 lacks the rear-mounted USB-C port found on the 12K, the recorder still mounts to the back, but the cable must be routed to the USB-C port located inside the fold-out monitor area (above the CFast slots).
-
URSA Broadcast G2: Fully compatible via the rear USB-C port for recording 4K broadcast-ready files to SSD.
Operational Insight (2026)
In 2026, many DPs keep a spare one of these in their kit. While a standard "high-speed" USB-C cable will work in an emergency, it lacks the locking screws. On a professional set, a loose cable during a take can result in a corrupted file that may be unrecoverable, making the locking version essential for insurance and peace of mind.
Pro Tip: If you are using the URSA Mini Pro 4.6K G2, note that you may need a slightly longer version of this cable than the one included with the 12K kit to comfortably reach the internal USB-C port without putting strain on the connector.
