The G2 introduces a USB-C expansion port for direct recording to external drives. The default electronic EF lens mount is user-interchangeable and adjustable to ensure the proper flange focal distance.

At the core of the camera lies Blackmagic Design's renowned Super 35mm 4.6K sensor block, known for capturing cinematic images with subtle gradients and a large dynamic range rated at 15 stops. The G2 can now capture Blackmagic RAW footage in film and extended modes, providing versatility to meet diverse production needs. A standout update is the G2's capability to capture 4.6K footage at 120 fps, 4K DCI at 150 fps, or 1080p footage at 300 fps, making it ideal for fast-action shooting.

Similar to the URSA Mini, the URSA Mini Pro G2 records high-resolution raw sensor data in Blackmagic RAW format onto CFast 2.0 or SD memory cards at up to 60 fps. The raw files preserve the full dynamic range and color tonality from the sensor, offering greater control in post-production. In addition to uncompressed raw recording, the URSA Mini Pro provides compressed raw recording at 3:1 and 4:1 compression ratios, balancing space savings with post-production flexibility.

For those not requiring raw capture, the URSA Mini Pro G2 offers industry-standard Apple ProRes files in various flavors, supporting 444 and 422 chroma subsampling variations depending on the workflow. Recording resolutions from 4.6K to HD can be captured as ProRes files, either in "Film" dynamic range for post-production grading or "Video" dynamic range for a finished look straight from the camera. ProRes recording is possible on CFast 2.0 or UHS-II SD cards (with SD cards topping out at UHD 4K; refer to the Blackmagic Design website for updated card compatibility and limitations).

Maintaining the original URSA Mini's form factor, the ergonomic benefits persist. With optional accessories like the VCT shoulder pad, side handgrip, broadcast battery plate, and EVF, the camera can be customized for comfortable shooting over extended periods. For studio-style setups, the shoulder pad is compatible with 15mm LWS rods, allowing for the mounting of lens supports, follow focuses, lens drive motors, matte boxes, and more.
