Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera Shotgun Mic Setup

I use this to mount a battery adaptor and a shotgun mic on top of a BlackMagic 4k pocket cinema camera.

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

A very nice and solid case for the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera.

With this adapter I'm able to use my EF-S lenses for my Blackmagic pocket cinema camera.

Nice and sharp on my Blackmagic Pocket Cinema.

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

I have tried it with my Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K, which is too wide to fit without some kind of adapter. First, I just used the riser that comes with the gimbal, offsetting the upper plate. That worked, but made it hard to attach the camera. Then I got a quick release plate (just an inexpensive one made by a company called Andoer). That is certainly more convenient. I have never used a gimbal before, but found it very easy to balance the camera on it. The roll lock certainly helps. I would guess it took no more than 5 minutes, and I expect to get faster at it as I gain experience. Its very easy and intuitive to use, solidly built, and the motors are certainly strong enough (but I havent tried it with a heavy lens). The batteries take a long time to charge, but seem to last a long time. I suspect one could get a full day of use out of them.

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.

The Metabones speed booster is a game changer for the Blackmagic pocket cinema camera.

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