Why the Pocket 4K needs a V2
For what it’s worth I’m a full time videographer (not cinematographer) working closely with brands such as Amazon, Uber, Honda, Tourism Australia etc. My daily is the pocket 4K, original, with the ultra speed booster for a full frame circle and I have to say the new Nikon ZR, canon R5II etc are clos

Need honest advice — Should I buy a Blackmagic Pocket 4K or Sony A7III for short films & music videos?
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

I have a BMPCC 4K, and Idk where to start...any advice???
I stated with a BMPCC 4k not too long ago, and no idea of how to do anything at all… probably still don’t lol. I’m so glad I learned on this though. These cams are ridiculously good. Cheap too. A few things I found on the way that may help with what Google searches etc (there is so much golden info

BMPCC4K Still good?
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

BMPCC 4K minimal setup
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

What is a fair price for a BMPCC 6k today?
6K has a larger sensor (Super 35) versus the MFT sensor on the 4K, so the noise level is better, especially in the shadows. But the 4K is not terrible in that department, so don't let that dissuade you from getting the 4K. The BMPCC 4K is great. but I wish Blackmagic made a 4K Super 35 camera. I got

BMPCC 4K minimal setup
Nice one! That’s a great gift. I moved from an iPhone 11 Pro to the BMPCC 4K about six months ago. For batteries, I just rotate the standard Blackmagic one and a few Hahnel Extremes. I found battery grips too cumbersome, and if you aren't shooting 30+ min takes, swapping internals keeps the rig way

Pro colorists here, what do you guys look for a camera that you would use personally like for travel?
Partial to Blackmagic cameras, BMPCC 4K and 6K are good on a budget. Or Alexa’s, also the best color science and handling for more $$$

Creator studio or stand alone purchase?
Yea, that's the unfortunate thing about FCP. Plug-in, plug-in, plug-in. It almost feels like a shell that exists for no reason other than to prop up the plug-in developers. And you don't even get the best offerings from companies like BorisFX. Their FCP versions are no where near as good as the Avid

Im a self taught film student and I wanted to know the best cameras I could buy for my budget around 500 - 800$?
It's tough to go wrong with the Pocket 4K. If you find one used it will leave money left to get a lens and other items you need. Here's a film I shot primarily on that camera: https://youtu.be/rbT8S-GQRoo The Pocket 4K has a great sensor with second ISO. Good false colors. BRAW and Resove are incred
