Ive used Resolve studio since 12.5 its amazing software, google Resolve Studio Update download the FREE latest version 16 or 16.1 cause if you get version 15 with the BMD camera 6K raw isnt compatible with it. If the camera stops recording after 3 wish seconds its cause the card is too slow for the format its set at. I had the lexar 3600X set at 6K 50p it stopped after 3 seconds every time, I set it to 5.7K 60P it has no problem recording longer than a few seconds. BMD site has a list of recommended storage for different formats. Ditch that Creativescamcloud

Going into this camera you got to know what you getting yourself into. Battery life isnt good as we all know but the fact you can get atleast 40 min in a small form factor canon battery is great considering Ive used reds that kill Vmount batteries a lil over a hour. When buying this camera you should go into it investing in a external battery source as you would in any of the bigger cameras. Overall Blackmagic never fails with quality
Chris –
Camera works great. Very impressed with the images and they cut really well with our RED. The small sizeweight has allowed for easier gimbal use.Only flaw is that the camera body had some minor scuff marks on it when we received it which seems to be a somewhat common theme with the initial shipments.
HIEU –
Awesome cinema camera. High 13 dynamic range make a big difference and love braw. Able to change the white balance, iso and other setting in post help a lots. For the price, I highly recommend this cinema camera.
Jeffrey –
The image on this camera is better than the 4k I dont care what anyone has to say. It rivals that of an Alexa
Robert –
I really like this camera. Its a great deal for a 6k camera that records in RAW. It may not be the right fit for someone shooting networklevel episodic programming but for medium budget commercials and industrial work, its fantastic.
Josiah –
Awesome Camera Super compact and amazing quality.
ILJA –
Dope camera, great bang for your buck Chews through batteries like a beast but what do you expect for 6K RAW or 4K ProRes footage. Footage looks awesome from this lil guy so far cant wait to test more..

I had originally purchased the BMPCC 4K thirty three days before they announced the BMPCC 6K and needless to say the 4K went back and I upgraded to the 6K.The BMPCC 4K I loved from the get go, however I quickly ran into a few disappointments. I have worked professionally in high end film and television production for 30 years. I only choose EF or PL mount lenses which are the most common on movie sets.The BMPCC 4K had a few limitations. Firstly the 2x crop. I initially looked to buy both the 0.64x and 0.71 speedboosters at 699 each 1398. I had initially purchased Viltrox EF to MFT adapters, but found they had wiggle at the camera body, and some had wiggle on the EF mount side. I rented out the 0.64x and 0.71 T Cine Ultra speedboosters and even those had play. Not good for follow focus. On top of that I needed to buy the straight Metabones smart adapter 399. On top of that I needed to invest in a 6501200 external monitor that could do a 1.33x desqueeze as I shoot with an SLR Magic Anamorphot65 1.33x anamorphic adapter. All up I was looking at 3000 on top of the BMPCC 4K to get it up to spec.Then the announcement of the BMPCC 6K happened and all my planned purchases went out the window. For just 1200 more I could have the 6K with native EF mount and a super 35mm sensor. Coming from the world of feature films and having started on 35mm film, this was the camera I had been dreaming of since cinema went digital. Not only that, but the super 35mm sensor and the EF mount were things that I wished the BMPCC 4K had And Blackmagic deliveredYesterday I received my 6K and I am over the moon. I can now get a 16mm focal length Rokinon Cine DS 10mm without extra glass between the lens and the sensor. Crystal clear images and way better than the 4K with the Metabones. There is a Magicbooster that has been announced which will do the same function as Metabones but for the EF mount, converting it essentially to a full frame equivalent lens Angle of View. Of note, imagery comparisons with the speedbooster show the ever so soft blur that the extra glass causes.Now onto the 6K itself. I am not bothered by not having a speedbooster to shoot full frame, why Because I come from the world of Super 35mm 3 perf film. This is what I am looking to emulate with my digital cinematography. The math is easy to figure out your focal lenth 10mm16mm, 24mm40mm, 35mm58mm etc. Id really prefer to invest my money into good glass rather than speedboosters.The EF mount is a dream Absolutely firm lock with the lens and zero wiggle or play. Makes it perfect for motorized and manual follow focus systems, no lens shift when focusing.As I use high end glass the only lens mounts I need are PL or EF only I dont need 10 billion photography lens adapters.Having come from ARRI and RED to be able to own my own Cine camera for 2500 glass is a lifelong dream come true.From receiving the camera to assembling it, shooting test footage, editing and uploading to video servers the process was less than an hour. Way better workflow than DSLR Mirrorless photo camera based shooting.The menus are intuitive and easy to find and save lots of time on set getting the camera set up or to change shooting modes. Firing up the camera ready for filming is a matter of seconds in comparison to the RED which can sometimes take up to 12 hour once you arrive on set to turn it on and run calibration.The only drawback right now on the Pocket cameras is no in camera desqueeze for 1.33x anamorphic lenses. The included anamorphic desqueeze is 2x so I still need an external monitor to properly view the anamorphic shots.Also hoping that Blackmagic Design allow for 4K and below recording in RAW again. I really dont want to use ProRes for lower resolution shots.All in all, Im super thankful to Blackmagic Design for making my lifelong dreams come true.

On paper the camera is great, and cant wait to use it on a project. Mine was poorly packaged. The bottom of the box was bulging out, and once I opened it I saw why. The camera was not sitting properly, but at a strange angle. Upon inspection there are scuff marks all over the body, that does not buff out. Does not affect the operation of the camera, but a brand new camera should be pristine. I would return this, but knowing that there is a back order Id probably wouldnt see a replacement for a long time. Also notice a little bit of FNP in the shadows, will have to do further testing to see if footage can be usable or not with the FNP present.
Theodore –
Have yet to test the camera but not a fan of the quality control on these cameras. Im apparently the second one dealing with this issue under reviews and Im sure many more are dealing with this issue.
Amir –
The sensor readout on this camera is below professional. Rolling shutter is quite heavy and unappealing.
Caleb –
I have only been able to test and play around with it for a few days, but wow. The things that this camera does are quite amazing especially at this price point. It does need to be rigged up in a cage, but all cinema cameras do so I cant really look at that as a valid concern. You will have to spend anywhere from 400 to possibly above 1500 to unlock the full potential of this camera. Obviously, the more money you spend rigging it, the better quality parts you will have usually. Having done this for many cameras in the past here is my advice spend the money and only cry once.As far as rigging there are plenty of great cages out there by smallrig, tilta, 8Sinn, etc. You will need a monitor with it as the rear screen, while quite good, does not swivel which makes it impossible to see at certain angles. You will need a battery solution. I went with Tiltas battery grip, but there are plenty of V mount, Gold mount, Sony NPF and other battery solutions out there. You will need some kind of recording media. I recommend SSDs. They are much cheaper per gigabyte than SD cards and C fast cards. You will need hard drives to store your media. A lot of them. You will need a relatively fast computer to be able to preview and edit the files although, I am blown away by how well the footage plays back. I have a moderate gaming computer with pretty mid grade specs and i can play full res 6K raw files back with a color grade applied with no problem.There are other bits and pieces that you need to be aware of before investing in this camera. This is not a DSLR nor is it designed to operate like one. Ultimately, be prepared to spend a good chunk of change to rig the camera up and make it ergonomic and usable. Once you do, however, the images are simply fantastic. Dynamic range is great. Resolution is, of course, stupendous. The footage is VERY malleable, meaning it can be pushed and pulled in color grading much more than any DSLR camera could hope to be capable of. I have used Cinema cams like the C300, panasonic EVA 1, sony fs7, blackmagics own ursa mini pro and worked with RED footage from some of the lower tier RED cameras. The image quality out of this camera is simply the best I have used.I wanted to write an actual review seeing as how the others on here seem to only be worried about scratches on the camera body. Weird that they are experiencing that. Personally, I would not care if mine did come scratched out of the box. The price to value of what youre getting is off the charts anyways. In conclusion, if you are willing to invest in a proper rig for this cam, you cannot possibly be disappointed with the images coming out of it. If, however, youre looking for a vlogging camera or something that shoots a decent image with relatively low learning curve and ease of use, well, there are plenty of DSLRs out there that will do the job just fine.
David –
The sensor size makes all the difference. I felt like the micro four thirds looked fantastic but something about didnt make me feel like it was a cinema camera, the images sometimes felt muddy. But this one definitely bumped it up and I really feel like this is a cinema camera. Better highlights and recovery better 4K image and future proofing yourself. Also cleaner Noise from the higher isos. Great job black magic
George –
Truley an amazing cinema camera. Great job BM
MATTHEW –
Ive worked with with end cinema cameras and got this for personal projects. For anyone complaining about data rates or battery life.. stick with your DSLRs. You have to build it out a little, but its the same with ARRI and RED.. this just costs 110th the price and gets you a tool that can help make your story. The footage is pretty solid and the functionality is a big step up from other prosumer cameras.
Ped –
Item was delivered with scuffs and dents all over it. Obviously I am not the only one. Makes no sense how this is still an issue and one that has happened with the 4k version as well.
ian –
Lets face it guys its the best camera on the market these days, Adormama are always great only good experience with them
david –
I dont know what Everyone elses issue is because this thing is amazing. How you could complain about a 6k camera for is beyond me. Ive taken it on two weddings since I got it and the image quality is amazing. I have had some bugs mainly is not recognizing my memory card about 13 of the time when I turn it on lol. But I talked to someone at black magic and they said a software update was coming soon that would fix the problem. It could not turn on Half the time and Id still be stoked on it. If you have the chance sell your red and buy this camera, it will change your life.
A –
I got one of the first ones, but mine had scratches all over it and the grip where the card slot is, was loose. Dont believe me Check out Matts review on Newshooter, he talks about these scratches being a commonthing. The image is great, and the recording options are fantastic for such a inexpensive camera, but the rolling shutter was really bad.
Dominic –
Best user interface.False color is awesomeGreat codecs.A solid state drive is best for media.
Alvarez –
A great camera for a great price. This is a game changer and for any film makers wanting to get the tools the need at a price we can actually afford makes this stand in a league of its own.
Gabriel –
Its a game changer Best camera available at its price point
URIAH –
The BMPCC 6K is everything Id wanted and more Its not only small and light weight, but delivers an amazing image. The 35mm sensor makes for an amazingly cinematic image, and I can use all of my canon glass I love the dual native ISOs 400 3200 allowing a great shot in very little light. This camera works well with everything from my Ronin stabilizer to all of my URSA mini 6.4k accessories. All of the ports are solid, full size HDMI, mini XLR, USB 3, and power. I also like that you can use all of the accessories already being made for the BMPCC 4K. I absolutely love this camera At the price point, I recommend you take one for a spin
Colby –
I think there is finally a codec to compete with REDs R3D. BRAW is fantastic This is a work horse of a camera for the price, the image is spectacular. You do need to rig it out a little, but a small cage, with a t5 ssd and a Sony battery attachment is a perfect little rig.Its a must have for filmmakers.You will need a decent machine to work with the files without a proxy workflow.Menus are great And honestly for what it is the internal battery isnt that bad if you know how to work around it.
Brett –
Better than I could have hoped for. The new 121 compressing is next level. File sizes are manageable and the image quality is superb. Highly recommend. Be sure to write to a T5 Samsung drive and get an external battery.
NEIL –
Every camera has pros and cons, for the price, you cant come anywhere close to this. Recording and editing on Samsung T5 drives are a breeze. Im starting to like 6K BRAW better than 4K pro res DCI. I originally set out to buy the 4K but since I have a bunch of EF glass, this was a better choice. Native mount and no adapters that can and DO fail on set. I can still use M42 vintage glass with EF adapter rings. All in all, autofocus is terrible, but the rest of this camera makes up for it. I hope BM keeps updating the camera. There are still a lot of cool features this could use.
patrick –
My experience with the BMPCC4k has definitely benefitted me with this camera. Its a wonderful camera in this price range and I find them image, build quality and functionality to be very good. Highly recommend.
chris –
this camera is nothing short of spectacular. ive come from a long line of digital cameras. from the canon XL1 through a panasonic HVX200, the era of the 5DII and the M43 revolution with the A7SII. in addition to that, ive had a RED EPIC for a long time. for me, this camera beats all of them for 90 of shooting situations. BMRAW is a fantastic codec one which will only improve in time, id imagine. it still falls a LITTLE BIT short of the RED image quality, but for most projects, it gets to the point of splitting hairs.the image quality coming out of this camera is just nothing short of spectacular. combined with the flexibility and workflow of DaVinci Resolve pro version is included with the camera theres no excuses for not making cinematic visuals that are usually the domain of cameras costing 10 times the price.an absolute gamechanger, and in the right hands, probably the only camera youll ever need to OWN.
Alec –
As a gh5s owner i was very curious about this camera. I was very inpressed with its build, image quality, and user interface, but this camera requires 3 external accessories to make it work reasonably well a monitor, ssd, and external battery, and to mount all that you need a cage. So the build is too big for my wants. If this camera comes out with an articulating screen and a larger battery in the future i will buy it again.
Junpeng –
This is the best camera I bought this year
RYAN –
I love it
VAN –
Such an awesome camera, specifically due to its small form factor. It packs a real punch in image quality, which rivals that of the RED. The small, elegant design, makes it great for onthego type camera shoots documentary and the like. Would recommend, especially given the great price point.
Niko –
Love the camera What a great creative camera.. 6k visually incredible
Ugo –
This is my first cinema camera and it couldnt be better
Roger –
Great camera BlackMagic realy scored with the changes they made with the pocket 6k. The switch from MFT to a EF Mount and the capability to show BRAW in such a small package Is a huge plus. Would definitely Recommend for filmmakers who want to step up theirs production value.
Gabriel –
Its a game changer Best camera available at its price point
isaac –
you cant get much better than the bmpcc 6k pro in the field of under 5k cinema cameras. My only complaint is that Im not a big fan of the build or shape of the body, but that might be due to the fact that I mostly work with larger cinema cameras. If youre coming from using a dslr or mirrorless then it should be pretty comfortable to operate. I would recommend using lenses with ibs if you do handheld work. Overall its a fantastic camera and the image that you get is comparable to cameras over twice its price
MATTHEW –
amazing just need lens
Mauricio –
Perfect camera
Robert –
I shoot a lot outdoors and Im using this as my runandgun camera. The lack of inbody stabilization is a bummer but the camera actually does quite well if you use a lens with stabilization. Love, love, LOVE the builtin ND filters and the ability to record in ProRes. And the interface So intuitive. Makes shooting in manual much easier to do.

TRAVIS –
I finally have a camera Ive dreamed of for years. It has an amazing image, Is compact, Menus are very intuitive and easily accessible to navigate. Its about time creativity can rule with the technology supporting the creativity. Im excited and now ready to go to work Doing what I love creating independent Feature films And technology is behind the scenes helping with that and not in the forefront trying to figure it out. The price point is incredible as well.
STEPHAN –
Great little cinema camera that captures impressive images at a relatively affordable price. There are countless of reviews and howtos online, my 2 cents would be the fixed monitor and battery life. This camera wants and possibly needs to be rigged up at least minimally, to perform to its potential.
Ronald –
I will start off by saying this is my first cinema camera and there was quite of a learning curve. I did not know I would have to purchaseupgrade my storage as my existing 128GB SD cards are useless. Beyond that, the quality of this camera, hardware, software, picture, everything is amazing. This camera will surely upgrade your quality from a DLSR to the next level.
Mariusz –
Great camera with professional results. You will need few extra batteries and SSD to do any job.
James –
I am so pleased with my Blackmagic Design Cinema Camera 6K Pro. What a perfect camera for a first time cinema camera owner. BH made the purchase so easy and they were so helpful
George –
Its built like a tank, and makes great images. Its slightly larger and I think heavier than the previous 6K so your old cage wont fit. It has a bit of a noisy fan but if you use wireless mics or a boom its not an issue at all. Overall its a great upgrade. The adjustable angle screen makes it far more versatile than the previous model.Pros Image quality is great, Black Magics menus and simple operation are great. Built very well.Cons Several people have reported white spots on their ND filters, so immediately check for that. Also, some people have screens that are too blue and bright which BM says theyre working on a firmware fix for. I feel theres too much grain in lower light but its not a deal breaker at all with fast lenses.Id like to see BM make the USBC port somewhat better designed so theres less stress on it and Ive noticed that plugging in miniXLR cables into it is tricky as its such a tight fit sometimes.
Jeffrey –
The image on this camera is better than the 4k I dont care what anyone has to say. It rivals that of an Alexa

Perfect camera for anyone who wants to do video on a budget. Very professional outcome. Very simple to use. I use it on a small rig and Ronin S setup. Make sure to get an external drive and battery as it takes up A LOT of storage and battery but to me its worth it.

This camera is great and the bundled battery gives more flexibility with time
Vincenzo –
I cant say enough about this camera. The price, the ease of use, the quality…if you are looking for a runandgun, or a vlogging camera, while it can be built out for those purposes this was made to build out just like an ARRI or a RED Camera. The nonarticulating screen and autofocus are not features these MUCH more expensive cameras have either. They are meant to be used with VMount batteries or other add on accessories like the former l, but at fraction of the cost. Worth every penny
Zach –
This camera is everything I could ask for. The ND filters are a dream. The quality is incredible. Shooting BRAW has gotten me amazing images. Shooting 6K looks absolutely beautiful, although I only use it selectively for wider shots since the camera crops a fair amount in 4K. In 4K I had to grab a 15mm lens for an image close to what I was getting from a 24mm lens on a full frame DSLR.I never noticed the blue tint everyone talks about, but a simple update that BMD put out fixed that with the ability to calibrate the color temperature of the monitor.Im blown away by this camera and for the price its a no brainer if you are in need of the features this camera offers.
CASEY –

The BMPCC6K produces an image that is easily comparable with other professional camera bodies.
Tiffanie –
I loved it. Low noise and everything. You cant beat it especially for its price.
ALEX –
Best Purchase I have made, compact size with powerful quality
Matthew –
I really love the Blackmagic cameras, and the Pocket 6K is also a winner. The color science, the usability, and the pricing for such an amazing bundle of tech is impressive. The only wish I have would be to have BRAW available for 4K DCI and UltraHD instead of skipping those options so I can have more card space. Lovely camera, I have 3 for multicam use
Vince –
Incredible performance and features for the price. If you read other reviews, they will most likely comment on battery life its true that the camera is a power hog, but not surprising considering how large and useful the monitormenu is. Luckily, the easy to find and quick to charge LPE6 batteries make distruption minimal.My one criticism is that the camera turns off dead battery well before the indicator suggests it would. It has done so several times around the 25 mark.
David –

OSCAR –
Amazing camera, I have been shooting commercials, Music videos and Live events with it and it works amazingly.
Ugo –
This is my first cinema camera and it couldnt be better
Duane –
I had two large projects scheduled when this arrived so had zero learning time before using the camera and Davinci professionally. Fortunately, its layout and menus make it simple to use so with the exception of figuring out how to engage 120 fps I was able to throw on a lens and start shooting. The results in 6k raw are mind blowing and Davinci renders clips pretty quickly so its user friendly, even when the clock is ticking. The display is usable in full sun even at 50 brightness and zebra and focus assist work well.I have a Canon 1124mm lens which looked amazing but the best shots Ive captured so far have been with a Nikon 2470 2.8 and an adapter which allows the focus assist to work. The capture quality is so good I used several screen shots as stills and they compare favorably to my Nikon D850 in raw.You cant touch this camera for the price.
Brad –
Upgrading from the regular 6K, the only things I regularly found myself wishing for were builtin ND filters, a screen that swivels, and one more XLR input. NOW ITS ALL HERE Love this camera so much.

Finally upgraded from my C100 Mkii, and Im very, very happy with this new camera. Im still learning the ropes, but what an amazing form factor and features especially the built in ND filters.

Ive taken it on two weddings since I got it and the image quality is amazing. I have had some bugs mainly is not recognizing my memory card about 13 of the time when I turn it on lol. But I talked to someone at black magic and they said a software update was coming soon that would fix the problem. It could not turn on Half the time and Id still be stoked on it. If you have the chance sell your red and buy this camera, it will change your life.
Stephen –
The best investment I made in 2019…..As wedding cinematographer, I constantly need camera with good image quality that gives the ability to manipulate footages in post.This camera does me proud every day.
LEW –
Great camera, running through the paces, got it rigged out and so far so good. No issues, I know about all the flaws like the battery, so you just have to make it work for you. I am very pleased with the video quality.
WELINGTON –
Excelente camera
STEPHAN –
Great little cinema camera that captures impressive images at a relatively affordable price. There are countless of reviews and howtos online, my 2 cents would be the fixed monitor and battery life. This camera wants and possibly needs to be rigged up at least minimally, to perform to its potential.
JEFF –
The BMPCC6K produces an image that is easily comparable with other professional camera bodies.
MATTHEW –
amazing just need lens
Nikolai –
As expected
Stephen –
Great camera.

Going into this camera you got to know what you getting yourself into. Battery life isnt good as we all know but the fact you can get atleast 40 min in a small form factor canon battery is great considering Ive used reds that kill Vmount batteries a lil over a hour. When buying this camera you should go into it investing in a external battery source as you would in any of the bigger cameras. Overall Blackmagic never fails with quality
JAMES –
Very well made camera that has a lot of functions for any scenario.
NEIL –
Every camera has pros and cons, for the price, you cant come anywhere close to this. Recording and editing on Samsung T5 drives are a breeze. Im starting to like 6K BRAW better than 4K pro res DCI. I originally set out to buy the 4K but since I have a bunch of EF glass, this was a better choice. Native mount and no adapters that can and DO fail on set. I can still use M42 vintage glass with EF adapter rings. All in all, autofocus is terrible, but the rest of this camera makes up for it. I hope BM keeps updating the camera. There are still a lot of cool features this could use.
james –
Ive used Resolve studio since 12.5 its amazing software, google Resolve Studio Update download the FREE latest version 16 or 16.1 cause if you get version 15 with the BMD camera 6K raw isnt compatible with it. If the camera stops recording after 3 wish seconds its cause the card is too slow for the format its set at. I had the lexar 3600X set at 6K 50p it stopped after 3 seconds every time, I set it to 5.7K 60P it has no problem recording longer than a few seconds. BMD site has a list of recommended storage for different formats. Ditch that Creativescamcloud

Best Purchase I have made, compact size with powerful quality

My dad loves this. The only thing I didnt know is its not usable as is. You need a huge battery, storage, a lense of course. But he is over the moon with the camera He talked about a cropping factor though…and how unfortunate it is. I know nothing about it. But there are some amazing features, he discovers a new one every day
Matt –
Comparable image to our RED helium. 8K at a much smaller size and much better price.

I wish I could tell you how my item is. I have yet to recieve it. I know the issue isnt with BH. Im just frustrated that I recieve emails asking me to leave a review with no merchandise.
Brett –
Better than I could have hoped for. The new 121 compressing is next level. File sizes are manageable and the image quality is superb. Highly recommend. Be sure to write to a T5 Samsung drive and get an external battery.
Matt –
Easy to use. Best ergonomics and menus of any camera manufacturer. With this camera, I can get the shot. Thats what counts.
SEAN –
Image is amazing. Braw is amazing. The menu is the best menu out there. This is a Cinema camera so rigging is necessary. 6k at 2000.00 is a no brainer.

Amazing camera, I was completely blown away by its image quality and ease of use.BUTThe HDMI port stopped working after 1 shoot for no reason. This is a problem many other people have encountered. I sent the camera back today, waiting on a repairreplacement.I would 100 recommend this camera, just a bit scary to use the HDMI
MATTHEW –
Ive worked with with end cinema cameras and got this for personal projects. For anyone complaining about data rates or battery life.. stick with your DSLRs. You have to build it out a little, but its the same with ARRI and RED.. this just costs 110th the price and gets you a tool that can help make your story. The footage is pretty solid and the functionality is a big step up from other prosumer cameras.
Collins –
I absolutely love this camera. Easily transported to remote locations, with incredible capabilities.
Mariusz –

As a gh5s owner i was very curious about this camera. I was very inpressed with its build, image quality, and user interface, but this camera requires 3 external accessories to make it work reasonably well a monitor, ssd, and external battery, and to mount all that you need a cage. So the build is too big for my wants. If this camera comes out with an articulating screen and a larger battery in the future i will buy it again.
Norman –
Great camera Nd filter build in perfect toolbraw and proRes both are
TRAVIS –
I finally have a camera Ive dreamed of for years. It has an amazing image, Is compact, Menus are very intuitive and easily accessible to navigate. Its about time creativity can rule with the technology supporting the creativity. Im excited and now ready to go to work Doing what I love creating independent Feature films And technology is behind the scenes helping with that and not in the forefront trying to figure it out. The price point is incredible as well.
Robert –
I really like this camera. Its a great deal for a 6k camera that records in RAW. It may not be the right fit for someone shooting networklevel episodic programming but for medium budget commercials and industrial work, its fantastic.
Junpeng –
This is the best camera I bought this year
Tiffanie –
I loved it. Low noise and everything. You cant beat it especially for its price.
CASEY –
Awesome camera
URIAH –
The BMPCC 6K is everything Id wanted and more Its not only small and light weight, but delivers an amazing image. The 35mm sensor makes for an amazingly cinematic image, and I can use all of my canon glass I love the dual native ISOs 400 3200 allowing a great shot in very little light. This camera works well with everything from my Ronin stabilizer to all of my URSA mini 6.4k accessories. All of the ports are solid, full size HDMI, mini XLR, USB 3, and power. I also like that you can use all of the accessories already being made for the BMPCC 4K. I absolutely love this camera At the price point, I recommend you take one for a spin

I am in love with everything about this camera. Incredible value for the image quality. You certainly need to know how to use it, but if youre an experienced videographercinematographer than youll easily master this camera.
Sean –
For the past year Ive been shooting with the pocket 4k and 6k. I would have one for gimbal and one for handheld and locked off shots. I love the 4k and think its a great value but the 6k has a slightly better image and I HATE adapters. I had 2 systems going. MFT glass and full frame or aspc. It kinda became a headache. When the 6k pro was announced I was immediately interested but wasnt quite ready to sell the 4k and all my MFT glass. A few weeks later I took the plunge and Im glad I didI bought the EVF and Battery Grip. Both are great value. I wanted a camera I could just grab and go. No ND filters. No mattbox. No external monitor. No follow focus system. ETC.So with the 6k Pro I can put on a camera strap and go out wherever without too much attention getting drawn. The built in ND filters are great. I wish they went to 10 stops but for the money 6 stops is great.The new articulating screen is great. I havent had the blue tint problem. The screen is bright and I can even see it with sun glasses on.I already loved the pocket cinema camera line but this is just so much better IMO.
JEFFREY –
I use the Canon Cinema Series for work and am happy with them. I have always been interested in the BM lineup and specifically the BMPCC. Once the 6k Pro released with the internal NDs I knew I wanted to jump in. I mainly plan to use this as a run and gun camera for family home videos and trips but also like that if I need to punch higher than a C100m2 or C300 on a job I have that option. I am really impressed with BRAW. I can color grade and edit 6K BRAW with more ease than ProRes on my computer and the flexibility in post of editing RAW files is amazing. Overall I am super happy with this camera and look forward to years of creative use.
George –
Truley an amazing cinema camera. Great job BM
Vince –
Incredible performance and features for the price. If you read other reviews, they will most likely comment on battery life its true that the camera is a power hog, but not surprising considering how large and useful the monitormenu is. Luckily, the easy to find and quick to charge LPE6 batteries make distruption minimal.My one criticism is that the camera turns off dead battery well before the indicator suggests it would. It has done so several times around the 25 mark.
Javier –
Fantastic camera that fulfils all of my expectations are a great price.
LYDELL –
Love this product
Vincenzo –
I cant say enough about this camera. The price, the ease of use, the quality…if you are looking for a runandgun, or a vlogging camera, while it can be built out for those purposes this was made to build out just like an ARRI or a RED Camera. The nonarticulating screen and autofocus are not features these MUCH more expensive cameras have either. They are meant to be used with VMount batteries or other add on accessories like the former l, but at fraction of the cost. Worth every penny
Shaba –
Great picture, good flexibility, low price for included features and spec.

Absolutely phenomenal camera for independent film. Beautiful picture and easy to work with. Blackmagic offers great customer support. Highly recommended
xiao –
I like BMPCC 6K PRO very much. I am willing to give her 5 stars for the updated design, image quality and price, but now I have to give her only one star. Why shouldnt you buy this camera now Because of serious hardware quality control problems, my camera has two problems1. The flipped screen has a bluish tint,2. There are small black spots in the builtin filterThere are more problems seen on other networks. You can search for it yourself.
Dave –
A tremendous camera, much improved from the 4k version. Video using the Gen 5 is noticeably brighter and more life like.
Nikolai –

Rudy –
Ive used the original pocket, the pocket 4k and now the 6k pro. Is the upgrade worth itI wanted to move away from MFT sensors and mounts, so this checks the box for that.Do I need 6k No, but do I want to spend 1500 more for an A7slll and use a hybrid camera for my work even though all I do is videoInternal NDs are insane to have and I still have to get used to them.The 2.8k 120fps is very usable and can be matched with the 6k footage easily if you know how to grade and denoise properly.I shoot mostly 121 on a 512GB Cfast.Another added feature is the extra XLR input which will come in handy in a lot of shoots.The camera is heavier than the 4k, but I think it can be run and gunned similar to a canon C line camera especially with the battery grip and eyepiece if you end up adding them on.I had a heavier zeiss lens on without the grip or eyepiece and it came in at around 1.95lbs.The only con is the form factor. It grew on me since ive been using the 4k for 2 years, but a more boxy shape like the Zcams would be nice would probably get rid of the beautiful display though.If youre stuck between this, the fx3 or a7slll, and care mostly about workflow and organic colors, get this. Anyone can get decent color if they know how to grade, but the BRAW codec imo is unbeatable, and at the price, I wouldnt consider anything else at the moment.Thanks for coming to my ted talk

They develop solid professional tech, and roll it out to as many pieces of their product line as they can. Pretty straightforward. I use the ND on this all the time, the screen is a big improvement, its solid. Now if theyd just stop aping a form factor from 1940, I think I would really be in love.
Ian –
This camera is great and the bundled battery gives more flexibility with time
HIEU –
Awesome cinema camera. High 13 dynamic range make a big difference and love braw. Able to change the white balance, iso and other setting in post help a lots. For the price, I highly recommend this cinema camera.

After owning this camera for two weeks, I really like it.
Matthew –
For this price, I cant get a better camera.
Colby –
I think there is finally a codec to compete with REDs R3D. BRAW is fantastic This is a work horse of a camera for the price, the image is spectacular. You do need to rig it out a little, but a small cage, with a t5 ssd and a Sony battery attachment is a perfect little rig.Its a must have for filmmakers.You will need a decent machine to work with the files without a proxy workflow.Menus are great And honestly for what it is the internal battery isnt that bad if you know how to work around it.

ILJA –
Dope camera, great bang for your buck Chews through batteries like a beast but what do you expect for 6K RAW or 4K ProRes footage. Footage looks awesome from this lil guy so far cant wait to test more..
Matthew –
I really love the Blackmagic cameras, and the Pocket 6K is also a winner. The color science, the usability, and the pricing for such an amazing bundle of tech is impressive. The only wish I have would be to have BRAW available for 4K DCI and UltraHD instead of skipping those options so I can have more card space. Lovely camera, I have 3 for multicam use
Alexandria –
I wanted a BM camera I could run a more minimal rig with. Ive been using the 6k Pro about a month now and am in love with the footage and ease of use. The tilting screen has been absolutely amazing and I havent found it difficult to focus thus far, even in bright light. They released an update that fixed the blue screen issue, however the camera did have it initially. Easy fix though The internal ND feature was unbelievably easy to use and great to have especially shooting in the high desert this weekend The audio ports have also been a nice feature. Once the tilta cage is released Ill probably get a bit more fancy with it but for now Im very happy I went this route. Beautiful results with the 6k Pro as is.

Was ist neuDie eingebauten NDFilter 6 Stops sind eine Superaddition und sehr hilfreich, wenn man Offenblendig am helllichten Tag filmen mchte. Qualitativ sind sie auch sehr gut, jedoch werde ich dazu noch was sagen. Das Display ist sehr hell 1500 Nits und es lsst sich bei direktem Sonnenlicht sehr gut ablesen. Neuer Sony NPF570 Akku, welcher mehr Laufzeit bietet.Gen 5 ist die neue Color Science in der 6K Pro und liefert ein Atemberaubendes Bild mit schnen Farben.Doch ist wirklich alles so toll an der KameraNatrlich gibt es negative Punkte wie Kein IBIS oder dass der Autofokus jetzt nicht das Beste ist. Jedoch gibt es einen Punkt, den ich sehr wichtig finde anzusprechen.Die Verarbeitungsqualitt ist jetzt nicht das beste. Bei mir kam die Kamera Out of the Box schon mit paar Kratzern etc. Was jetzt meckern auf hohem Niveau ist.Doch das ist nicht das einzige Problem dieser Kamera. Viele Leute haben berichtet, dass das Display einen Blaustich hat. Und tatschlich war dies bei mir auch der Fall. Klar wurde dies mit der neusten Firmware 7.3 Quasi behoben, jedoch sollte dies nicht ab Werk sein. Doch dafr ist ja Blackmagic bekannt, dass die Verarbeitungsqualitt ein wenig leidet.Dazu gab es einige Berichte, dass die ND Filter einen Magenta Stich Color Cast haben. Dies wurde schon von vielen berichtet, wobei ich dies nicht hatte. Es gab noch eine Reihe mehr von Problemen, von denen ich aber nicht betroffen war bin, jedoch wollte ich damit sagen, dass es an der Verarbeitungsqualitt mangelt. Wenn man aber wieder den Preis anschaut, muss man dies schon fast in Kauf nehmen. Zum Glck hatte ich bis jetzt nicht weitere Probleme wie andere Kollegen.Trotzdem ist die 6K Pro eine Kamera, die ich jedem empfehlen wrde, die gerne eine Cinekamera wollen die RAW aufnehmen kann zu einem unschlagbaren Preis mit Features, die eher bei einem hheren Preis verfgbar sind.

I have only been able to test and play around with it for a few days, but wow. The things that this camera does are quite amazing especially at this price point. It does need to be rigged up in a cage, but all cinema cameras do so I cant really look at that as a valid concern. You will have to spend anywhere from 400 to possibly above 1500 to unlock the full potential of this camera. Obviously, the more money you spend rigging it, the better quality parts you will have usually. Having done this for many cameras in the past here is my advice spend the money and only cry once.As far as rigging there are plenty of great cages out there by smallrig, tilta, 8Sinn, etc. You will need a monitor with it as the rear screen, while quite good, does not swivel which makes it impossible to see at certain angles. You will need a battery solution. I went with Tiltas battery grip, but there are plenty of V mount, Gold mount, Sony NPF and other battery solutions out there. You will need some kind of recording media. I recommend SSDs. They are much cheaper per gigabyte than SD cards and C fast cards. You will need hard drives to store your media. A lot of them. You will need a relatively fast computer to be able to preview and edit the files although, I am blown away by how well the footage plays back. I have a moderate gaming computer with pretty mid grade specs and i can play full res 6K raw files back with a color grade applied with no problem.There are other bits and pieces that you need to be aware of before investing in this camera. This is not a DSLR nor is it designed to operate like one. Ultimately, be prepared to spend a good chunk of change to rig the camera up and make it ergonomic and usable. Once you do, however, the images are simply fantastic. Dynamic range is great. Resolution is, of course, stupendous. The footage is VERY malleable, meaning it can be pushed and pulled in color grading much more than any DSLR camera could hope to be capable of. I have used Cinema cams like the C300, panasonic EVA 1, sony fs7, blackmagics own ursa mini pro and worked with RED footage from some of the lower tier RED cameras. The image quality out of this camera is simply the best I have used.I wanted to write an actual review seeing as how the others on here seem to only be worried about scratches on the camera body. Weird that they are experiencing that. Personally, I would not care if mine did come scratched out of the box. The price to value of what youre getting is off the charts anyways. In conclusion, if you are willing to invest in a proper rig for this cam, you cannot possibly be disappointed with the images coming out of it. If, however, youre looking for a vlogging camera or something that shoots a decent image with relatively low learning curve and ease of use, well, there are plenty of DSLRs out there that will do the job just fine.
Jeff –
This camera is a beast…The 6k raw footage is incredible I shoot a lot of corporate interviews and the skin tones are very good. Is the camera perfect No…Battery life is poor, the body is an awkward shape for mounting on a gimbal…But hey its only 2500.00. No regrets…If fact I have 2.

While I havent had a chance to really break in this camera and test every little thing yet, I have to say being able to walk around with the bare camera is such a treat. The built in ND filters look great to my noncritical eyes, the LCD on my copy looks fine No blue tint Ordered 31621, and everything Ive shot so far looks fantasticI havent really had the pleasure of seeing any high brightness monitors before, but the rear LCD at 100 brightness is absolutely daylight viewable in direct sunlight. Pulling focus off the monitor is difficult on wider lenses, but you can also punch in even with the clean feed active to really nail infinity.Even 1080p ProRes 422 out of this camera looks incredible, and with no crop on the full sensor. I was an original Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera owner back in 2013 and this 1080p footage blows that out of the water. It is a different quality of image The original is still incredible image quality, but having a S35 field of view with Blackmagics color science and the convenience of all the extra features this camera brings to the table makes this a winner in my eyes. No longer do you have to rig up a monitor This camera is 100 feasible to use bare bones.I even have to give props to the internal mics. I dont know if theyre the same as the Pocket 4k, but they sound excellent as well if you need ambient sound in a pinch.

With the EVF, Inbody ND filters and better battery life you can use the camera without a cage or any additional upgrades.But Its harder to effectively operate BMPCC4k in a bright day light. You cannot see the screen at all. Battery last only 2535 minutes, need variablends to get a decent image. So, you have to rig it up with cages, better battery solutions like Vmount batteries or battery handles, lens adapters to be able to use wide variety of lenses. So BMPCC4k becomes heavy, not much portable as intended.Also BMPCC4ks price gets closer to BMPCC6k Pro with metabones adapter, quality VND, battery solutions and etc… So if its your first buy, save your money and get 6k Pro. You will pay at least 1000 more to 4k eventually.Also, I realize, I take my 6k Pro with me more often than 4k because its just lighter to use than 4k.

Ive owned dozens of Blackmagic Design cameras from the URSA Mini Pro 4.6k G2 to the OG pocket 1080p. This camera is by far the easiest camera to use that Blackmagic has made. Not only that, but the footage is also the best looking out of any camera Ive used by them. The 6k Super 35 sensor is gorgeous, and the gen 5 color science is brilliant to work with. Its much less depressing looking. The battery life is now at the point where I can use use just the camera as a minimalist rig, however I still recommend rigging this camera up to a vmount. I didnt buy the viewfinder for this camera, as I dont particularly love the form factor it provides, as Im much more likely to sit on the left side of the camera rather than behind it. Im hoping that a third party manufacturer will provide some way to change the position of the viewfinder, at which point I will look at picking it up. The ND filters are amazing to use. Theyre significantly less janky feeling than the ND filters on the URSA and are worth the extra 500 by themselves. Additionally, the two mini XLR ports are a welcome addition. Add in a tilting screen and all of this is only 500 moreBut, theres one problem for me. The LCD on my screen is tinted completely blue. Like unusable blue. Its embarrassing to have this camera on set because even directors will see the color difference between the two monitors. Ive talked with Blackmagic and theyll be issuing a fix, but I cant believe they didnt see this before sending the camera out. Until this is updated and fixed I cannot rate this camera anything other than one star. If youre thinking about picking one up, either buy it through a company like Bh with a great return policy, or wait until the issue is resolved.

No external monitor. No follow focus system. ETC.So with the 6k Pro I can put on a camera strap and go out wherever without too much attention getting drawn. The built in ND filters are great. I wish they went to 10 stops but for the money 6 stops is great.The new articulating screen is great. I havent had the blue tint problem. The screen is bright and I can even see it with sun glasses on.I already loved the pocket cinema camera line but this is just so much better IMO.

I like BMPCC 6K PRO very much. I am willing to give her 5 stars for the updated design, image quality and price, but now I have to give her only one star. Why shouldnt you buy this camera now Because of serious hardware quality control problems, my camera has two problems1. The flipped screen has a bluish tint,2. There are small black spots in the builtin filterThere are more problems seen on other networks. You can search for it yourself.

Its built like a tank, and makes great images. Its slightly larger and I think heavier than the previous 6K so your old cage wont fit. It has a bit of a noisy fan but if you use wireless mics or a boom its not an issue at all. Overall its a great upgrade. The adjustable angle screen makes it far more versatile than the previous model.Pros Image quality is great, Black Magics menus and simple operation are great. Built very well.Cons Several people have reported white spots on their ND filters, so immediately check for that. Also, some people have screens that are too blue and bright which BM says theyre working on a firmware fix for. I feel theres too much grain in lower light but its not a deal breaker at all with fast lenses.Id like to see BM make the USBC port somewhat better designed so theres less stress on it and Ive noticed that plugging in miniXLR cables into it is tricky as its such a tight fit sometimes.

This camera is absolutely amazing. The quality and craftsmanship is outstanding. I highly recommend this to anyone seeking a new camera.

Comparable image to our RED helium. 8K at a much smaller size and much better price.

I will start off by saying this is my first cinema camera and there was quite of a learning curve. I did not know I would have to purchaseupgrade my storage as my existing 128GB SD cards are useless. Beyond that, the quality of this camera, hardware, software, picture, everything is amazing. This camera will surely upgrade your quality from a DLSR to the next level.

With the EVF, Inbody ND filters and better battery life you can use the camera without a cage or any additional upgrades.But Its harder to effectively operate BMPCC4k in a bright day light. You cannot see the screen at all. Battery last only 2535 minutes, need variablends to get a decent image. So, you have to rig it up with cages, better battery solutions like Vmount batteries or battery handles, lens adapters to be able to use wide variety of lenses. So BMPCC4k becomes heavy, not much portable as intended.Also BMPCC4ks price gets closer to BMPCC6k Pro with metabones adapter, quality VND, battery solutions and etc… So if its your first buy, save your money and get 6k Pro. You will pay at least 1000 more to 4k eventually.Also, I realize, I take my 6k Pro with me more often than 4k because its just lighter to use than 4k.

La nouvelle version de la black magic pocket camra cinma pro est trs bien, tout y est pour se faire plaisir avec des rglages faciles, des filtres ND au top. La prise en main est agrable, la camra pse plus dun kilo cest plus facile de stabiliser. Cela reste une camra oriente cinma donc surtout adapt pour des tournages avec grosse prparation pour chaque plan, il ny a pas dauto fichus en continu pour suivre un sujet ou objet en dplacement tout est Manuel mais cest trs formateur de mme pour lautofocus privilgier le mode tout Manuel. Pour du run and gun, dans la mme gamme de prix, privilgiez un canon eos r6

My dad loves this. The only thing I didnt know is its not usable as is. You need a huge battery, storage, a lense of course. But he is over the moon with the camera He talked about a cropping factor though…and how unfortunate it is. I know nothing about it. But there are some amazing features, he discovers a new one every day

Item was delivered with scuffs and dents all over it. Obviously I am not the only one. Makes no sense how this is still an issue and one that has happened with the 4k version as well.

Compre esta camara porque su calidad y precio era incomparable. Luego de recibirla con mucha felicidad intente usarla pero fue imposible. El 12v port no funciona, la pantalla comienza a parpadear aun cuando la batera marcaba que tenia carga. Luego que se descargo la bateria no pude volverla a prender, An cargando tres baterias adicionales que tenia. Es una lastima porque invertir en accesorios y ahora tengo que devolver todo. No puedo confiar en una cmara que por precio menor a otras me crea problemas mayores. La estoy regresando a BH.

Une excellente camra oui Mais pas pour tout le monde Faut prendre conscience des avantages quelle apporte et de ses dfauts.Pour commencer limage est vraiment top, son dual ISO est une vrai aide dans des situations difficiles. Les points de positifs sont nombreux, et la vido de TRM est l pour les mettre en avant. Les points ngatifs bien connue comme lautonomie mme si a reste acceptable si on oublie pas les codecs quelle propose, et a va de soit avec le stockage. Aprs a manque doutils exposition comme un waveform, et le plus dommage cest le manque de la tropicalisation.Mise part a jadore

A great camera for a great price. This is a game changer and for any film makers wanting to get the tools the need at a price we can actually afford makes this stand in a league of its own.

I own the Sony A7III and was looking to upgrading a new camera, however the A7SIII is way to expensive and the other camera that Sony announced was expensive as well. Blackmagic 6k Pro was a decent price that had a lot of life quality options that I enjoy, compared to Sonys UI. Though I have invested sony lenses, this will be my main camera for short film projects while I use sony as my photography and commercial based work.

I wanted a BM camera I could run a more minimal rig with. Ive been using the 6k Pro about a month now and am in love with the footage and ease of use. The tilting screen has been absolutely amazing and I havent found it difficult to focus thus far, even in bright light. They released an update that fixed the blue screen issue, however the camera did have it initially. Easy fix though The internal ND feature was unbelievably easy to use and great to have especially shooting in the high desert this weekend The audio ports have also been a nice feature. Once the tilta cage is released Ill probably get a bit more fancy with it but for now Im very happy I went this route. Beautiful results with the 6k Pro as is.
Michael –
Was on the fence about adding a used pocket cinema camera 4k or 6k as a 3rd camera. Wow the screen is bright. With the 6k pro rigging the camera for use is not needed now. Parring it with an URSA mini pro works and looks great. Only issue, makes the URSA feel outdated with the new gen color science. Best portable Cinema camera so far.

Im not a huge fan of the dullness of shooting raw, but the color correction ability is amazing. I definitely recommend downloading some LUTS though.

I shoot a lot outdoors and Im using this as my runandgun camera. The lack of inbody stabilization is a bummer but the camera actually does quite well if you use a lens with stabilization. Love, love, LOVE the builtin ND filters and the ability to record in ProRes. And the interface So intuitive. Makes shooting in manual much easier to do.

While I havent had a chance to really break in this camera and test every little thing yet, I have to say being able to walk around with the bare camera is such a treat. The built in ND filters look great to my noncritical eyes, the LCD on my copy looks fine No blue tint Ordered 31621, and everything Ive shot so far looks fantasticI havent really had the pleasure of seeing any high brightness monitors before, but the rear LCD at 100 brightness is absolutely daylight viewable in direct sunlight. Pulling focus off the monitor is difficult on wider lenses, but you can also punch in even with the clean feed active to really nail infinity.Even 1080p ProRes 422 out of this camera looks incredible, and with no crop on the full sensor. I was an original Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera owner back in 2013 and this 1080p footage blows that out of the water. It is a different quality of image The original is still incredible image quality, but having a S35 field of view with Blackmagics color science and the convenience of all the extra features this camera brings to the table makes this a winner in my eyes. No longer do you have to rig up a monitor This camera is 100 feasible to use bare bones.I even have to give props to the internal mics. I dont know if theyre the same as the Pocket 4k, but they sound excellent as well if you need ambient sound in a pinch.

This camera is everything I could ask for. The ND filters are a dream. The quality is incredible. Shooting BRAW has gotten me amazing images. Shooting 6K looks absolutely beautiful, although I only use it selectively for wider shots since the camera crops a fair amount in 4K. In 4K I had to grab a 15mm lens for an image close to what I was getting from a 24mm lens on a full frame DSLR.I never noticed the blue tint everyone talks about, but a simple update that BMD put out fixed that with the ability to calibrate the color temperature of the monitor.Im blown away by this camera and for the price its a no brainer if you are in need of the features this camera offers.
Jeff –
This camera is a beast…The 6k raw footage is incredible I shoot a lot of corporate interviews and the skin tones are very good. Is the camera perfect No…Battery life is poor, the body is an awkward shape for mounting on a gimbal…But hey its only 2500.00. No regrets…If fact I have 2.

you cant get much better than the bmpcc 6k pro in the field of under 5k cinema cameras. My only complaint is that Im not a big fan of the build or shape of the body, but that might be due to the fact that I mostly work with larger cinema cameras. If youre coming from using a dslr or mirrorless then it should be pretty comfortable to operate. I would recommend using lenses with ibs if you do handheld work. Overall its a fantastic camera and the image that you get is comparable to cameras over twice its price

Finally upgraded from my C100 Mkii, and Im very, very happy with this new camera. Im still learning the ropes, but what an amazing form factor and features especially the built in ND filters.

Ich habe es schon eine ganze Weile auf eine Bmpcc abgesehen. Mit der 6k Pro musste ich dann zuschlagen. Was soll ich sagen Geiles Teil. Die Bildqualitt ist bemerkenswert, die Mglichkeit in braw aufzunehmen und in der Post so flexibel zu sein, ist auch fett. Fr mich liegt der wahre Knaller aber in der Bedienbarkeit. Man kommt einfach an jede Einstellung innerhalb von max 3 Klicks Touches. Die ongoing Einstellung wie ISO, Blende oder Shutterspeed sind mit einem Knopfdruck da. False Color mit einem Knopfdruck. Man hat echt das Gefhl, die Kamera arbeitet mit einem zusammen. Und wenn man eine etwas hhere Komprimierung akzeptiert, dann sind die Dateigren auch nicht so brutal. Fr mich ein kleines Manko ist die fehlende Stabilisierung und ich hr schon wieder die Profis Ein richtiger Kameramann braucht keine Stabi, mimimi, aber ich will das Ding lieber aus der Hand als von einem ShoulderRig etc. bedienen und ne Stabilisierung is da einfach nett. Das mach ich dann eben mit nem entsprechenden Objektiv wieder wett. Thumbs up. Das Ding werde ich jetzt ne Weile fordern. Lieben Gru
Roger –
Great camera BlackMagic realy scored with the changes they made with the pocket 6k. The switch from MFT to a EF Mount and the capability to show BRAW in such a small package Is a huge plus. Would definitely Recommend for filmmakers who want to step up theirs production value.

Ive owned dozens of Blackmagic Design cameras from the URSA Mini Pro 4.6k G2 to the OG pocket 1080p. This camera is by far the easiest camera to use that Blackmagic has made. Not only that, but the footage is also the best looking out of any camera Ive used by them. The 6k Super 35 sensor is gorgeous, and the gen 5 color science is brilliant to work with. Its much less depressing looking. The battery life is now at the point where I can use use just the camera as a minimalist rig, however I still recommend rigging this camera up to a vmount. I didnt buy the viewfinder for this camera, as I dont particularly love the form factor it provides, as Im much more likely to sit on the left side of the camera rather than behind it. Im hoping that a third party manufacturer will provide some way to change the position of the viewfinder, at which point I will look at picking it up. The ND filters are amazing to use. Theyre significantly less janky feeling than the ND filters on the URSA and are worth the extra 500 by themselves. Additionally, the two mini XLR ports are a welcome addition. Add in a tilting screen and all of this is only 500 moreBut, theres one problem for me. The LCD on my screen is tinted completely blue. Like unusable blue. Its embarrassing to have this camera on set because even directors will see the color difference between the two monitors. Ive talked with Blackmagic and theyll be issuing a fix, but I cant believe they didnt see this before sending the camera out. Until this is updated and fixed I cannot rate this camera anything other than one star. If youre thinking about picking one up, either buy it through a company like Bh with a great return policy, or wait until the issue is resolved.
Jeremy –
They develop solid professional tech, and roll it out to as many pieces of their product line as they can. Pretty straightforward. I use the ND on this all the time, the screen is a big improvement, its solid. Now if theyd just stop aping a form factor from 1940, I think I would really be in love.
Kyle –
I am in love with everything about this camera. Incredible value for the image quality. You certainly need to know how to use it, but if youre an experienced videographercinematographer than youll easily master this camera.

I use the Canon Cinema Series for work and am happy with them. I have always been interested in the BM lineup and specifically the BMPCC. Once the 6k Pro released with the internal NDs I knew I wanted to jump in. I mainly plan to use this as a run and gun camera for family home videos and trips but also like that if I need to punch higher than a C100m2 or C300 on a job I have that option. I am really impressed with BRAW. I can color grade and edit 6K BRAW with more ease than ProRes on my computer and the flexibility in post of editing RAW files is amazing. Overall I am super happy with this camera and look forward to years of creative use.

I had two large projects scheduled when this arrived so had zero learning time before using the camera and Davinci professionally. Fortunately, its layout and menus make it simple to use so with the exception of figuring out how to engage 120 fps I was able to throw on a lens and start shooting. The results in 6k raw are mind blowing and Davinci renders clips pretty quickly so its user friendly, even when the clock is ticking. The display is usable in full sun even at 50 brightness and zebra and focus assist work well.I have a Canon 1124mm lens which looked amazing but the best shots Ive captured so far have been with a Nikon 2470 2.8 and an adapter which allows the focus assist to work. The capture quality is so good I used several screen shots as stills and they compare favorably to my Nikon D850 in raw.You cant touch this camera for the price.
