Blackmagic Design Camera URSA Mini Shoulder Kit Bolts (2-Pack)

The Blackmagic Design Camera URSA Mini Shoulder Kit Bolts are essential replacement fasteners specifically designed for the URSA Mini Shoulder Mount Kit. These high-strength bolts are the primary mechanical connectors used to attach the shoulder baseplate and the top handle to the camera's magnesium chassis.

Component Overview

These bolts are engineered to handle the vertical load and shear stress of a fully rigged cinema camera, which often includes heavy lenses, large batteries, and external monitors.

  • Quantity: Sold as a 2-pack. Because these bolts are identical, they serve as universal spares for both the top and bottom mounting points of the shoulder kit.

  • Drive Type: Typically utilizes a 4mm or 5mm Hex (Allen) drive, ensuring that they can be tightened with enough torque to prevent the camera from shifting on the baseplate.

  • Captive-Ready: These bolts are often designed to work with the retention washers built into the Shoulder Kit, preventing them from falling out of the plate when the camera is detached.

Primary Applications

  • Baseplate Attachment: These are the main bolts used to secure the URSA Mini, URSA Mini Pro, or URSA Broadcast G2 to the Shoulder Mount Baseplate. They thread into the 1/4" or 3/8" holes on the bottom of the camera.

  • Top Handle Security: Used to bolt the URSA Mini Top Handle to the top of the camera body. Given that the top handle is the primary point for carrying the camera, the integrity of these bolts is critical for safety.

  • Rigging Extensions: Can be used to secure the accessory mount to the front of the camera for the URSA Viewfinder.

Technical Specifications

  • Thread Standard: Precisely machined to match the reinforced mounting points on the URSA lineup.

  • Material: Constructed from high-tensile steel with a black oxide or anodized finish to prevent corrosion and matching the camera's professional aesthetic.

  • Length: Optimized to provide maximum thread engagement without bottoming out and damaging the camera's internal electronics.

Why Spares are Necessary

These bolts are considered "mission-critical" hardware. You should keep a spare 2-pack in your kit for the following reasons:

  1. The "Drop" Factor: During a quick transition from a tripod to a shoulder rig in the field, these small bolts are easily dropped into grass, sand, or dark studio floors.

  2. Thread Fatigue: Frequent rigging and de-rigging can eventually lead to "rounding" of the hex socket or stretching of the threads, which compromises the safety of the camera.

  3. Tool Misalignment: Using an imperial-sized Allen key on these metric bolts can strip the head, making it impossible to remove or secure the camera rig without specialized tools.
