DIYPhotography shows off a flip screen and v mount mod for bmpcc 4k/6k for $300
From Sagiv Gilburd at DIYPhotography.
I would worry too much about modding my camera, but still a very cool idea.
At NAB Blackmagic Design added vertical shooting to it’s Pocket Cinema Cameras
You can read about it at this article by Brian Hallett at PVC (darn if Blackmagic doesn’t make updates hard to link to on their web site).
I haven’t updated my camera yet, but I will. I hope to never shoot vertical, but who knows!
Schweinert on Do it Yourself Blackmagic 6K Display Calibration
This is pretty cool, though I have a Datacolor Syder X myself, but a way to do your own display calibration.
No Film School on How the Philosophy of Blackmagic Design Changed Cinema Cameras Forever
And it is so true. They have made incredible inexpensive cameras that can compete with high end super expensive cameras.
Charlie Wood on 7 Best Gimbals for BMPCC 6K
Personally I want a DJI RS 2, thought I do like the dual handle design of the 2 Zhiyun models, as the camera is way too heavy for one handed operations.
No Film School on kitting out a Blackmagic 6K Pro Camera
No Film School has an article on kitting out a BlackMagic Design 6K Pro camera to get the most out of it. It is by no means a full look, but it has some great options to look at including cages, storage, batteries and battery handles.
Certainly worth a read.
I so want a BlackMagic 6K Pro. My Canon 60D just shoots such crappy video that my Osmo Pocket looks so much better even without things like lenses. And the fact that I have some canon lenses (though of course not the best glass) means I could have some glass to shoot with it.
And the tilting back screen and view finder really sell it for me if only I was making enough money.
Blackmagic Design announces Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro
Blackmagic Design has announced the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema 6K Pro camera, and even more impressively released it at the previous price of the BMPC 6K $2499. This camera includes the same sensor as the 6K camera, but with some features people have been clamoring for.
First off is the articulated screen which can tilt up or down (though not to the side for vlogging) which is hdr and 1500 nit brightness. This is huge, there have been kits to upgrade the screen in previous models, but this is built in.
Next are 3 motorized ND filters with infared, including, 2, 4 and 6 stops of ND.
The battery has been changed to the larger Sony NP-F570 battery, which should provide longer run times and the Battery Pro grip which adds 2 more batteries doesn’t replace the internal battery and lets the 2 batteries in it to be swapped while still recording.
Then we have an additional mini xlr input, for 2 mini xlr inputs.
And it will now include the color science 5 from the 12K camera, though that is also coming to the 6K and 4K models.
And you can aslo add for $499 an EVF eye piece with glass lenses that will shut off the touch screen when in use.
All this does mean the camera is even larger than the previous 6k model (which will make it interesting for stabilizers), and people are already complaining about the still having an ef mount and not the new rf mount at least.
I don’t see any of that as a problem, this is a very impressive camera, and I want one.
