Is it just me, or is there no audio after the intro?

According to Blackmagic's site, audio will be released in Q2 2016, but no guarantees.

We're uploading a fixed version momentarily. Damn polarity :(

The URSA looks fantastic. Thanks for asking about an update to the firmware on the older cameras. A little disappointed that my BMCC that is almost a year old still has black dot for the sun.

Shouldn't they fix the firmware on the first three cameras before releasing more?? I've said this with each camera release they've had and they are yet to fix anything.
It really says a lot about a company. Only interested in taking money but no support.
Blackmagic you will make more money if you sort your s#it out before making more cameras.

Here's a crazy idea Blackmagic rather than hire a customer service dept or marketing to get yourselves out of the shit storm you guys get yourselves into why don't you just hire some f***ing software developers and get them to write the f***ing software and avoid the backlash? How many more cameras might you sell both now and in the future (people are angry in case you hadn't noticed....) if you had the firmware there because you did your properly??

If you are thinking of buying any of these go take a look at the many fuming threads over on the BMD Forum. Anyone who places a pre order is a darn fool. No customer support for the existing owners. It's a joke.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!

Micah: Your headline is confusing. Normally, when a company "drops" something - it means they dropped it from their product line. Eliminated it. You use it to mean they are offering 2 new products. "Dropping" them in our laps so to speak. I guess. To me, "Blackmagic announces..." would be more clear.
