Blackmagic Cinema Camera 4K Raw

Fast and reliable for my Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4k.

Works exactly as expected with no issues (with the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K)

I would definitely recommend this camera to anyone looking for a cinema-quality image on a (semi high-end) DSLR budget. The image is crisp and film-like, and the RAW format opens up a word of options for coloring in post. Is it perfect? Of course not. What camera is? But, for the price it's an amazing value. One of my favorite aspects of this camera is the user interlace. It's the most well laid out and pleasing UI of any camera system I've used. The foldout display is great. The top side quick function buttons for false color, LOG preview, and aspect ratio guidelines are equally fantastic. Another big selling factor is the native compatibility for Canon EF lenses. That's a huge plus over the 4K model. Blackmagic RAW is incredibly versatile in post within DaVinci Resolve Studio. I shot mostly 6K at 8:1 compression, and while I had to optimize some media for my machine, playback worked very well. The color science of Blackmagic Film Gen 5 is truly magical and unmatched. There's also an option for ProRes RAW, but file sizes will be much, much larger (DaVinci doesn't support ProRes RAW currently, either). A couple downsides - the battery life isn't great, so grabbing a few extra batteries is a must for shoots. Blackmagic has an official battery grip for this model, but that will make the body pretty bulky. So, it depends on your rig needs. A V-mount battery may be your best bet for longer shoots. There's so IS or autofocus, but that isn't a problem for me as I prefer manual focus for video. More so, standard cinema lens are manual focus pulled anyway. The body is definitely larger than a DSLR, but it is a dedicated cinema camera so the tradeoff in size is acceptable.

The Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera 4K is an amazing video camera for the price. The BMPCC 4K has a lot of high-end features for a compact body will sacrificing other components and features. I can highly recommend it and I promise you won't regret getting one of these for your production.

This case is perfection and protects your BlackMagic Cinema or Production 4K Camera extremely well. I wouldn't throw it off a cliff for fun...but seriously, its very well built. Even had it fall into the ocean. Not one drop made its way into the case. There is enough room inside for the camera, hood about 2-4 SSD drives in those awesome BlackMagic Blue Cases and one mid-size lens (think Rokinon 85mm or other similar or smaller sized lens). Don't buy this case thinking it will house all your lenses and accessories...because it won't. You buy this case because it truly is probably the best protection for the BlackMagic Cinema or 4K Camera.

If you want a really really solid cinema style camera you really can't beat this. The picture this camera produces is absolutely beautiful. On top of that the menu is easy to navigate and the camera itself is really reliable both physically and with its performance. There are a ton of super convenient features you get with this camera and of course it's always nice that Blackmagic ships these with a license for the full version of Davinci Resolve. Don't be mistaken, this is not really a good hybrid shooter. It's mainly for video and with that said there is no IBIS and the battery life is not great but that's to be expected from a cinema camera. But really, if you know this is the sort of camera you're wanting to get then you really really can't go wrong. I absolutely love Blackmagic as a company and their products are always so fairly priced so for me it's a no brainer. For those wondering if they want a 4k or the 6k Pro or even an Ursa...I bought the original 4k and even though I will always love it, I did buy a metabones speed booster and at that point I should've just gotten the 6k...but the 6k didn't exist at that time. If you aren't sure if you need an ursa or not then you probably don't need an ursa and for the price the 6k G2 will still produce one of the most beautiful pictures you'll see at a fraction of the size and cost.

Great card for the price. Performs well with the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4k.

As anyone like me who researches gear endlessly for hours, when I came across the BMPCC4K I was stunned at all the capability at that price point. If you are looking for a cinema camera that can deliver outstanding results you have found it! Yes, it doesnt have continuous focus or stabilization. But this is a cinema camera! This thing can shoot 4K 60fps lossless raw. The image quality is unmatched. Granted just about all media will only be able to record about 4-7 seconds of 4K 60fps lossless raw before it drops any frames, for most this is overkill. You can shoot 3:1 raw 4K 60fps all day long with no dropped frames on cFast or very cost effective Samsung T5 external drives. Being a cinema camera you will probably most likely have this thing on a rig or sticks most of the time anyways so the stabilization for me is a non issue. I honestly wish I could keep this camera a secret because it is my secret weapon in creating amazing films and I cant stress enough how amazing this camera truly is.
