Pocket Cinema Camera 4K

I've been using cine cameras for 12 years now and have experience with Sony, Blackmagic, Arri, Red, Panasonic etc all of it. Sony is by far my least favorite brand of all the cameras when it comes to consumer/prosumer. Their flagship cameras have always been great though. (Like Venice, F55 etc) The

Another fanatical BMPCC 4K user here lol This camera is incredible. The image is superb. BUT, you pretty much have to rig this thing out to compensate for all of its shortcomings, like no CAF, terrible battery life, and whatever else you consider a con. But once you turn this thing into a proper cin

Yeah, the Samsung T5 external SSD is a solid option — reliable, fast, and simple to plug straight in. Even better (if the budget allows) are CFast 2.0 cards that record internally. They’re not cheap, and you’ll need a CFast reader as well, but they’re worth every cent for the convenience and stabili

I’d get a used BMPCC4K and take advantage of the Super 16 2.6K crop to use vintage cine lenses with an adapter. You could get a C mount to MFT adapter to use Cooke Ivotal lenses, or an Arri B mount or Arri S mount lens to MFT adapter. You could also adapt Arri-S lenses with $149.00 Rafcamera Arri St

I think (pure speculation) the next Pocket Cinema Camera will be announced within the next two years. If so, I don’t think it will keep the same body design as the current Pocket series (at least I hope not). I know Blackmagic Design likes to reuse its camera bodies, but I don’t think that would mak

I’d say start with one of the blackmagic pocket cameras. They’re extremely affordable used while still offering most of the essentials that you need to wrap your head around cinematography—and they have a fantastic image. Like, why not practice and grow with an $800 BMPCC 4K before dropping thousand

The A7iii is far better for photos, the BMPCC 4K is far better for video. I shot one or two video projects with the A7iii and while it worked I wouldn't do it again; I'm spoiled by working with Blackmagic Design footage. I use my A7iii for photography and love it for that, just not for video. The fo

La sostituzione del filtro sulla mia Pocket 4K è stata una di quelle operazioni che ti fanno sudare freddo, ma lasciarla così non era un'opzione. Il filtro originale Blackmagic ha questo difetto cronico: con il tempo e l'umidità, il rivestimento antiriflesso si degrada e si creano delle macchie simi

You have to ask yourself how important is it to have the highest quality image, vs. features of convenience? Any cinema camera, including Sony's flagship manual focus Venice II, will require some sacrifices be made for image quality and production consistency during takes. …The Blackmagic pocket cam

I have the A7iii and hate it for video; it's a fantastic camera for photography but not for video. I used it for two video projects and it is behind even my OG Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera (1080p) in terms of image quality and especially flexibility in grading. Better low-light capability of cour
