Really love this camera. Easy navigation, professional standard equipment. I just wish I could make the lcd screen a little brighter.

Great customer service! I had an issue connecting my card with my order and an actual person helped talk me through the process to solve the issue. They very friendly and knowledgeable.

Perfect condition, beautiful camera. The variety of shooting you can do with this is astounding. Not really bummed about the lack of ND filters either, truly. It's a great purchase.

Great RAW image. Battery lasted longer than I expected. I love that it works with my Canon lenses. The UI is super easy to learn and work with

The BPCC 6k Pro is a fun camera. I have only been using it for a couple weeks but it is easy to use and produces a great video. So far I've been very happy with it. I bought it with the additional battery foot, be aware that you will need to buy two batteries to put inside of the addition, the camera only comes with one battery. The three batteries together provide a very decent battery life, maybe a couple hours. I also bought a secondary battery but haven't used it as much. The camera is a bit heavy but if you update the firmware you can have access to the gimbal file which can stabilize the footage a bit in post. Or you can put it on a tripod or gimbal etc.

Not the best is low light, but love everything else about it.

Looks great, bought it for curiosity on color science. Staying true to hear-says. I know there's no perfect camera but you still need to modify the base.

KIT BYERS, BEWARE!!! Devil in the Details! The kit includes the 4k/ 6k cage, not the 6k G2 cage. Be prepared to call and have to explain the difference, and all you will get is a return label and more work!!!! Is it a deal if you have to spend more time working and waiting? I won't look at deals here anymore.

I love this rig! So many ways to build out the camera and everything feels strong and secure. Perfect for run and gun as well as higher end shoot builds.

Received my Blackmagic in on time they said I would get it. I absolutely love it, love the screen and functions it has on it. I will definitely recommend to my friends and family.

Nice image, great menu system. Low-light performance, battery life, and overall ergonomics are not great. But if you put mechanical issues aside, you won't get a better image for the money. These cameras have a special look.

The Black Magic Pocket 6k Pro camera is a game-changer in the world of cinematography and video production. This camera is an upgrade from the previous model, and it comes with several new features that make it stand out from the rest. One of the most notable benefits of this camera is its internal ND filters. The camera comes with a built-in 2, 4, and 6-stop ND filter that can be easily activated with the push of a button. This feature eliminates the need to carry external filters, making it easier for filmmakers to shoot in bright sunlight or other harsh lighting conditions. One of the most impressive benefits of this camera is the beautiful 6K footage it produces. The camera is capable of capturing 6K footage at up to 50 frames per second, which results in incredibly sharp and detailed images. The camera also features a Super 35 sensor, which provides a cinematic look and feel to the footage. This is a must have camera for any videographer!

It handles much more comfortably than many reviews I previously read led me to believe. This is, above all else, a fun camera to shoot on with the pull-out display and ND filters making a massive difference in its handheld capability. Like all Blackmagic cameras, it has stunning color options at an amazing price point.

Internal ND filters? Check. BRAW? Check. Easy-to-use interface? Check. This camera is awesome. We have three of them for interviews and they make life easy in post-production. The dual XLR inputs are awesome for round table discussions and the fact you can shoot directly to SSDs or CFAST is fantastic. If you don't mind not having continuous autofocus, this is a no-brainer.

With it's large sensor and EF lens format, this is hands down the best value in video production. The only gripe would be a lack of image stabilization and just how big the body is - it was larger than I was expecting!

Went from a 5D Mark IV to the Blackmagic Pocket 6K Pro and love it. I love the fact that the menus are specifically for video and I am not overwhlemed with an endless menu structure. Love the big flip out screen. A bit heavier than I thought, but the heft does make it smoother in the hand with moves. Crop factor needs to be considered since I was spoiled with the full frame sensor in the 5D. I picked up the 8mm Sigma fisheye so that ought to do the trick on wide shots! And the 70-200 with a 2x convertor shoots pretty amazing close ups from a distance with the addtional crop factor. All the connectors are exactly what I need and love recording ProRes or RAW right to a Samsung T5. Not much I don?t like so far!

I?ve been using it for about 9 months. It took a while to get the presets right for the various places that I use it for streaming and recording to get the kind of video I want to capture. It has become my workhorse. This is a great camera!

Having a long list of EF lenses this camera was a great go-2 for me. I used this as a b-cam to my Red Raven and it fit the bill perfectly. You have to edit the Braw in Davinci so keep that n mind if you decide to purchase.

This camera is incredible for the price. It took a little learning as I'm used to Canon cinema cameras, but it's so intuitive it only took a few hours before I had it down. It's very customizable and has every spec I need for any project. And that's just the camera. The small rig is a HUGE bonus. It's convenient and modular, it comes with magnetic slots for Allen keys so you can adjust parts from the field, and it protects the camera from a fair amount of damage. The small rig will continue to prove useful as I purchase more parts. If you're on the fence: get this camera.

Switched to black magic 6kpro about a year ago and bought a second one from adorama. Hands-down the best budget cinema camera ever made. If you?re looking to get away from a DSLR and open up your ability to edit and have the space color correct then this is what you need.

Enjoying this camera a lot, especially the ease of use in the menu and the shift over to DaVinci Resolve. If you get this camera, just make sure you have a battery plan. I am using the Battery Pro Grip for one of them and then an external battery for the other. Without that you might have 20 minutes of battery before you have to change them. The picture quality and portability are wonderful

I have only been able to test and play around with it for a few days, but wow. The things that this camera does are quite amazing especially at this price point. It does need to be rigged up in a cage, but all cinema cameras do so I can't really look at that as a valid concern. You will have to spend anywhere from $400 to possibly above $1500 to unlock the full potential of this camera. Obviously, the more money you spend rigging it, the better quality parts you will have (usually). Having do...

Incredible performance and features for the price. If you read other reviews, they will most likely comment on battery life – it’s true that the camera is a power hog, but not surprising considering how large and useful the monitor/menu is. Luckily, the easy to find and quick to charge LP-E6 batteries make distruption minimal. My one criticism is that the camera turns off (dead battery) well before the indicator suggests it would. It has done so several times around the 25% mark.
Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera is better than a simple video camera because it has professional features allowing you to create the same "look" as Hollywood feature films. The combination of high dynamic range, great low light performance and Blackmagic RAW gives you feature film images with precise skin tones and gorgeous organic colors. You get advanced features such as 4K or 6K models, large 5" LCD for easy focus, SD card and CFast media, external USB‑C media disk recording, EF or MFT lens mounts and more! DaVinci Resolve Studio is also included for editing, color correction, audio post and VFX.
The elegant design of the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera packs an incredible number of high end digital film features into a miniaturized, handheld design. Made from lightweight carbon fiber polycarbonate composite, the camera features a multifunction handgrip with all controls for recording, ISO, WB and shutter angle right at their fingertips. Because it's an advanced digital film camera, the sensor is designed to reduce thermal noise allowing cleaner shadows and higher ISO. Plus the large 5 inch LCD makes it possible to get perfect focus at 4K and 6K resolutions.
Featuring a larger 6144 x 3456 Super 35 sensor and EF lens mount, the BlackmagicPocket Cinema Camera 6K lets customers use larger EF photographic lenses to create cinematic images with shallower depth of field, allowing creative defocussed backgrounds and gorgeous bokeh effects. This means that customers canshoot in 6K and then in post production zoom and re-frame to allow wide shots and close ups to be created, all from a single camera and without losing image quality.
Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K and 6K both have an incredible 13 stops of dynamic range which means they preserve more detail in the lightest and darkest areas of an image than simple video cameras can. This allows customers to set exposure for an indoor scene such as a cafe and still retain the details of bright outdoor light coming through a window. Customers even get more colors than the standard DCI-P3 colorspace used for feature films.
The Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera features dual gain ISO up to 25,600, which means both the 4K and 6K models are optimized to minimize grain or noise in images, while maintaining the full dynamic range of the sensor. The native ISO of 400 is ideal for scenes with on-set lighting. The gain is set automatically as they adjust the ISO setting on the camera, so it's easy to capture great images when they don't have time to set up lights.
Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera records using standard open file formats so customers don't have to waste time transcoding media. Recording works in industry standard 10-bit Apple ProRes files in all formats up to 4K or 12-bit Blackmagic RAW in all formats up to 6K. Best of all media files work on all operating systems plus customers can format media cards and disks in HFS+ for Mac and ExFAT for Windows.
The Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera features built in CFast and SD UHS-II card recorders, and a USB-C expansion port for recording direct to an external media disk. Customers can use regular SD cards for HD or higher performance UHS-II andCFast cards for native 4K or 6K when using Blackmagic RAW. Imagine capturing over an hour of full resolution 6K images on a single 256GB SD UHS-II card.
The rear of the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera features a large, bright 5 inch touchscreen that makes it easy for customers to frame shots and accurately focus. It's like getting a built in Blackmagic Video Assist with their camera. The touchscreen displays critical information while shooting, as well as menus for setting up the camera and intuitive touch to focus controls. On screen overlays show status, a histogram, focus and peaking indicators, levels, frame guides, playback controls and more.
Featuring the same Generation 4 Color Science as the high end URSA Mini Pro G2, the Pocket Cinema Camera delivers stunning, accurate skin tones and faithful color in every shot. Blackmagic Generation 4 Color Science uses a complex dynamic 12-bit gamma curve designed to capture more color data in the highlightsand shadows, so they get better looking images. The color science also handles some of the complex Blackmagic RAW image processing, so color and dynamic range data from the sensor is preserved via metadata which customers can use in post production.
The camera includes a full size HDMI connector for monitoring with support for HDR and clean 10-bit output. There's also a mini XLR connection with 48 volt phantom power for attaching professional microphones, a 3.5 mm video camera style microphone input, headphone connection and a professional locking DC powerconnector.
