The Blackmagic Pyxis is a fantastic camera with exceptional image quality and intuitive controls. It's a great tool for professional workflows and delivers stunning results. The only downside I've encountered is that the V-mount doesn't accurately read the battery percentage, which can be inconvenient during shoots. Aside from that, it's a reliable and powerful piece of equipment. Overall, highly recommended for anyone in need of a high-performance camera with just a minor drawback. !

What a masterpiece of a camera. This camera is indeed going down in the history of Blackmagic as a turning point for camera design. It's very light and smaller than I expected. There are so many possibilities when it comes to rigging this camera. The only negative thing is the monitor placement, which could be remedied with an external monitor. I'm happy to have at least this monitor because many boxed cameras don't have one, so it's still winning!
