Fujinon LA30x7.8BRM 4K 30x Broadcast Portable Zoom Lens

The Fujinon LA30x7.8BRM 4K Broadcast Portable Zoom Lens is designed specifically for 2/3-inch broadcast cameras and pairs exceptionally well with the Blackmagic URSA Broadcast G2. Compact and versatile, this lens offers an impressive 30x zoom range while maintaining a lightweight build—making it an ideal option for field productions or fast-paced studio setups. It strikes a smart balance between affordability and performance, giving URSA G2 users a reliable, professional-grade option without the hefty price tag.

Designed for URSA Broadcast G2 Compatibility

Few cameras match the URSA Broadcast G2's flexibility in the 2/3-inch space, and the LA30x7.8 pairs with it effortlessly. With a rear-focus mechanism that keeps focus breathing to a minimum and ensures whisper-quiet autofocus response, it’s a natural fit for live work—ENG, studio, field—you name it. When combined, the lens and camera form a lightweight, highly maneuverable setup built for rapid deployment and pro-level results.

Portable with Extended Zoom Reach

Despite its modest footprint, the LA30x7.8 offers a standout 30x zoom range—from a wide 7.8mm all the way to 234mm at the long end. At just 190mm in length and weighing only 1.7kg, it’s designed for comfortable handheld use—perfect for shoulder-mounted shooting with the URSA Broadcast G2. The balance of optical reach and physical manageability makes it a solid choice for crews who need to stay mobile without compromising on range.

Advanced Digital Drive Unit

The lens features a newly developed digital drive unit equipped with 16-bit encoders that provide precise control over zoom, focus, and iris. This level of accuracy is essential for today’s virtual sets and remote-controlled multicam environments. Operators can fine-tune zoom speeds from a snappy 1.0-second move to a dramatic 120-second crawl—ideal for cinematic transitions or slow pans during live events.

4K Premier Optical Quality

Fujifilm’s lens engineering chops are on full display here. The LA30x7.8 is optimized to deliver consistent 4K quality across its full zoom range. Chromatic aberrations and distortion are suppressed using advanced simulation tools, while the proprietary HT-EBC coating enhances light transmission and keeps color rendering accurate and vibrant. Paired with the URSA Broadcast G2’s imaging pipeline, the result is footage that pops—clean, detailed, and true to life.

Operator-Friendly Features

• Everyday usability gets a thoughtful boost with features like:
• One-button electronic flange back adjustment for fast, repeatable setup across multi-camera environments.
• Macro capability down to 5cm from the front element, perfect for capturing dramatic close-up shots on the fly.
• Rear focus architecture, enabling smoother and quieter autofocus—particularly when driven by the G2's internal systems.

Built for Evolving Production Demands

As live production continues to expand across industries—from sports and streaming to houses of worship and corporate media—there’s increasing demand for high-performance gear that doesn't break the budget. According to FUJIFILM’s Optical Devices Division, the LA30x7.8 was created with this shift in mind. When combined with the URSA Broadcast G2, it offers a broadcast-ready solution that’s both cost-effective and future-facing. It's a toolkit essential for teams who need pro-level optics in a rig that can travel light, shoot 4K, and scale with their workflow.
