Fully Articulated Screen Mirrorless Camera

Essential kit for the years ahead. This sturdy and thoroughly engineered friction arm is fully articulated, offering 6DoF (six degrees of freedom) for positioning your lighting or camera. Slightly larger than the micro version, the 244Mini provides a wider diameter sphere for more dramatic lighting effects. And of course, it works perfectly with the Manfrotto tripod.

Really nice to have for long exposure (though I use my phone too) and definitely for videos with screen articulated.

I've had a 6D and recently upgraded to the 6D MkII After 4 years with the 6D there were a few features I felt would be helpful within the Mk II. The first is the articulated screen. I've run into photo opportunities in crowds that I could not capture without an articulated screen. The Mk 2 has one of the few fully articulated screens in the business that allows you to capture images that almost no other DSLR will enable. That is a big deal. The second is the dual pixel focusing on live view. The Canon system is the best in the business and coupled with a quality full frame sensor allows both video and still images to remain in focus which competitors systems generally do not match. The biggest negative in the reviews involve lower dynamic range at low ISO, say between 100-300 ISO. I'm not doubting this but frankly I'm much more concerned in low light and performance at ISO of 6,400 plus. Most cameras capture beautiful images in bright light including the 6D Mk 2. Finally the 1080 video and focusing is very good. The lack of 4K video isn't a big deal to me but it would have been great to include it. That said, the processing needed to crop and produce 4K video is pretty intense and HD video is quite good. In closing, the 6D Mk 2 is an excellent camera for me. I typically use a Canon 24-105 L lens and a Canon 50mm 1.4 lens and obtain great results.

Have a G9, upgraded to the G12 and like the flexibility of the articulated LCD viewing screen. Also like the ease of operation and the clarification notes on menu functions. Great causal use camera with nice pro features when the need requires.

You could not buy a better articulated accessory.

This is my second articulated from Manfrotto. As always, well built.

So BMD has done it again. This camera puts true cinematic 4K capability in the hands of just about anyone. You cannot find a comparable camera with RAW and ProRes for this price and with in camera recording and multiple media choices! The mini XLR with phantom power really does make this a pro tool. The preamps seem fully sufficient to record studio quality audio directly into camera. The LPE6 battery will not be ideal for powering a fully rigged camera, but then fully rigged implies that you will have an alternate power source. The back screen is large and bright with touch screen capability. The BMD menu system is perhaps the best in the industry. I have configured this camera to work on the Zhiyun-Tech Crane Plus and the match seems ideal. The color science and quality of image in a camera at this price point is nothing short of OUTSTANDING.

All I ever wanted in a Mirrorless Camera.

This screen is great. Beautiful picture in a fully lit room!

Mirrorless cameras eat a lot of battery power, so it's essential to have several batteries on hand and fully charged. This four-station charger makes it easy to keep several batteries ready to go at a moments notice.
