Many of you have been asking for an examination of the new URSA Mini Pro G2 slow motion capabilities. So there you go. Thanks to Garth De Bruno Austin we have some samples. Check them out.
G2 compared to the “old” URSA Mini Pro 4.6K
We wrote here about the URSA Mini Pro G2 as it was announced. Although it’s very similar to its big brother (the URSA Mini Pro 4.6K), the new G2 owns some comparative advantages like:

The main advantages/strengths of the G2 are two: BRAW and Slow motion capabilities.
The ability to record BRAW is fantastic! Jump to here for further reading.
However, we were a bit skeptic in regard to the slow-motion image quality of the URSA Mini Pro G2. Luckily, Garth De Bruno Austi has made some samples showing us high FPS footage.
For effective examination, it’s recommended to watch the YouTube video in 4K resolution.
Pay attention that the video is divided into various BRAW compression rates (8:1, 3:1). Read the description for further info:
Verdict
These are quite of impressive footage. The images look clean and sharp. Just a reminder about the Slow-mo capabilities: The URSA Mini Pro G2 high FPS specs are: 4608 x 2592 at 60/120 fps, 3840 x 2160 at 30/60/150 fps, 1920 x 1080 at 30/60/300 fps in 12 bit RAW. That’s a decent slow-mo spec considering its price point.
