Upgrading the Sensor Turret on the URSA model
73
To remove and replace Blackmagic URSA's sensor turret
you'll need a torque wrench capable of 3.0 Nm maximum
torque with 4.0mm and 2.5mm hex key drivers, levering
tool, large flat head screw driver, and a lint free cloth.
Removing the Sensor Turret
Step 1.
If you have a third party battery plate mounted to
the rear panel, remove the plate by unscrewing
the four M3 mounting screws with the 2.5mm hex
key driver. This is so you can rest your Blackmagic
URSA securely on the flat rear panel for convenient
access to the sensor turret.

Upgrading the Sensor Turret

Blackmagic URSA's unique design lets you replace the sensor turret if you want to upgrade your camera as
we release new sensors in the future. When upgrading, you can also change the lens mount. For example,
you can upgrade from an EF mount to a PL mount. URSA is designed to be occasionally upgraded, but
not frequently. Constant changing of the turret can wear out the connector and is not recommended.
To upgrade the turret, first make sure you have the following tools:
1. Torque wrench with 4.0mm and 2.5mm hex key drivers and accurate setting for 3.0 Nm maximum torque.
2. Appropriate wedge shaped plastic levering tool.
3. Large flat head screw driver.
4. Lint free cloth.
Each component has screws of different lengths so it's important to keep the screws near their relevant
components so you don't mix them up.
After replacing the sensor turret, power your camera and record a clip to check your new sensor turret is
seated properly. If you are looking for help or have any technical questions, please visit our support center at

To remove and replace the sensor turret:

to place URSA on a solid flat platform with

not damaged.
Step 3.

mount using the large flat head screw driver.
