This interchangeable mounting option is engineered for filmmakers who rely on the robustness and optical precision of PL‑mount cinema lenses. Built for the URSA Mini Pro platform, the mount supports the full mechanical strength and precise alignment required when working with high‑end optics from manufacturers such as ARRI, Cooke and Zeiss. By replacing the camera’s default lens mount, it enables direct use of the widest range of industry‑standard cinema glass, making it especially valuable for feature film, commercial and high‑end television productions. The solid metal construction ensures long‑term durability and accurate optical alignment even during demanding production schedules or frequent lens changes.
A key advantage of this design is its integrated Cooke i/Technology contact pins. These allow compatible lenses to transmit detailed metadata directly to the camera, capturing critical information such as iris position, focus distance and zoom readings. This data is stored with the recorded files and can later be accessed in post‑production applications such as DaVinci Resolve. This contributes to a faster and more efficient post pipeline, supporting advanced tasks including VFX integration, lens matching, continuity checks and streamlined color workflows. Maintaining accurate on‑set metadata has become essential for modern productions, and this mount ensures that the URSA Mini Pro satisfies those requirements.
The mount is engineered with extremely tight tolerances, ensuring consistent flange depth for precise focusing across all compatible PL lenses. This is critical when using cinema lenses with long focus throws or when working at shallow depth of field. Installation is designed to be straightforward thanks to the camera’s modular mounting system, allowing operators to swap between EF, F, PL or B4 mounts to suit different types of productions. The included hardware package ensures that the mount can be securely installed and maintained over time, offering the reliability expected on professional sets.
With its rugged build quality, metadata support and full compatibility with industry‑standard cinema lenses, this mounting option significantly expands the creative possibilities of the camera system. It is an ideal choice for cinematographers who need a dependable and flexible lens interface while working at the highest levels of digital film production.
