How to Rig the Blackmagic URSA Cine 17K65: Tyler Edwards’ Complete Camera Build

In this video from Tyler Edwards, you’ll learn how to fully rig the Blackmagic URSA Cine 17K65 — and the Blackmagic URSA Cine 12K LF — for a clean, balanced, and production-ready setup. Since both camera bodies share the same design, his build guide is ideal for filmmakers, DPs, and creators looking to upgrade their URSA Cine workflows. Tyler walks through each step, starting with the included shoulder mount for easy handheld-to-tripod transitions, and adds Wooden Camera Elite accessories like a top plate, rail system, and a more ergonomic handle. He uses Condor Blue cable ties for clean wiring and a wedge plate to keep the battery system level. Wireless monitoring is powered by a Teradek Bolt 6 LT mounted in a Core SWX caddy for stable power and streamlined rigging. Custom SDI cables from Mutiny, adjustable handles, and a compact matte box for ND filters complete the build. This professional URSA Cine rig is optimized for fast setup changes, clean cable management, and reliable performance on set.
