Blackmagic Micro Cinema Camera Raw Compression Formats

I friggin' love this filter! I haven't taken it off of my camera since I bought it. I use it with a Blackmagic Micro Cinema Camera and a Veydra 16mm and the results are beautiful. I would buy this again, a hundred times over!

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.

I have two of these - one for Canon body, one for Blackmagic Micro Cinema Camera. When the cameras are powered from a 98 WH IDX battery with D-taps, I can run the cameras literally all-day without worrying when the battery needs to be changed. So far everything works perfectly - no problems with fit, no problems with function. Nothing gets hot. Very happy with these adapters.

For EF Lenses these are a must have for the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera with Micro four thirds mounts in order to adjust the F stop.

I bought this to use with my Blackmagic Micro Cinema Camera and it works like a charm! I debated between this and a cheap $15 plastic plate, but I am so glad I went with Tilta. It is a solid, all-aluminum plate and feels like it's made to last. It is easy to mount to a camera rig or cheeseplate with the 1/4 20 thumbscrew. NP-F batteries fit snuggly and lock in with a little button at the top of the plate. It also features two DC outputs; one at 12v, the other at 7.4v. Very happy with this product.

Using on a Blackmagic Micro Cinema 4K. Firstly... wow, tight fit, you really have to crank down to get the lens to lock. After that everything is great. Works well with the Rokinon line of lenses, have yet to try with AF lenses.

I'm using this tiny little SSD to record RAW footage on a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema 6K. Amazing it can keep up with the writing speed needed to record so much data... but it does. Comes with a little rigging device which I found very handy.

This Lanc controller is 100% compatible with both the Blackmagic Micro Cinema Camera and the Ursa Mini 4.6K. It controls Auto Iris, Manual Iris, Start/Stop Record and Manual Focus using the rocker. It is small enough to fit on a gimbal and tripod handle. Focusing using the rocker panel is very smooth. I'm glad I bought it.

Not much to say. Each end fits snugly and it's very convenient to have a coiled cord. I use it with a Blackmagic Design Micro Cinema Camera and a SmallHD 501 display. Quality product.

I own a couple of Blackmagic Cinema Cameras that use micro 4/3 lenses. I have a Lumix 12 - 35 mm 2.8 which is awesome. This 40 to 150 takes me pretty far given the crop factor. It is best to use this lens on a tripod because it doesn't have IS. And it is not a fast lens, so you will be limited to well lit scenes. The good news is the price. For the money it is a great lens.
