Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro (CINECAMPOCHDEF06P)

I've been looking for a video camera that can run all day without overheating or filling up SD cards. I don't need autofocus but I DO need auto exposure of some kind as the lighting changes constantly and it's not always manned. This fits the bill- ALMOST. I record on a 2TB ssd (T5) at the lowest quality 4k and it's still stunning footage. I replaced both my old cameras now after getting a second bmd 6k pro. I just use canon dslr lenses and it's fine... Watch out for auto exposure on the Iris and Shutter (NO AUTO ISO). If your scene changes in exposure even a little you have to cut the scene to adjust the settings for the new exposure and start recording again unless you want a HARSH jump in the shutter speed/angle or aperture during your clip. Alternately, in post you can split the clip and adjust for the changes in exposure settings, but that's just more work. This camera desperately needs some smoothing of these transition as you adjusts manually or automatically during lighting changes. Good luck going outside from inside without it looking like you're falling down the stairs with the staggering jumps from one shutter speed to the next. If you have Cine lenses and you don't mind manually adjusting aperture/ iris for every possible lighting change (which would NEVER work for me since my iris setting is extremely important) then have fun, this will work for you. For me a cloud going in front of the sun for a moment in the middle of a shot basically ruins it. This camera is NOT design for scenes you can't shoot again and again. Unfortunately I don't have the luxury of editing my videos one frame at a time for a month, so if this is you, keep looking! This isn't meant to be a burn of the camera, it does exactly what it's supposed to do really, really well for the price, but for ANYONE who is coming from a pro video camera or DSLR these shortcoming may surprise you. Those who have been shooting cinema cameras seem to be surprised that everyone doesn't know about these shortcomings, so you'll have trouble getting your questions answered on Black Magic forums, especially if you call them shortcomings! UPDATE I'm looking to replace these now, I have basically a studio type setup outdoors and the cameras aren't manned, so the useless AUTO features are just causing too much trouble. The main problem recently is there no exposure compensation or spot metering either, so even though auto shutter works ok if the white background gets too bright the subject in focus is blacked out. Can't fix that in post. My Sony 6400 would never let me down in any of these ways, but..... it overheats as does EVERY other camera if it's running for 8 hours and it gets over 80 degrees out.

The public name on my profile is my Dad, ignore that. I'm a Film student at UWM and I needed a powerful camera for some upcoming projects. I've used nearly a dozen different cameras around this price range and the 6K Pro has been magical. It's a fantastic piece of equipment. It came with some minor sensor damage and the sensor cap was chipped(I'll add pictures before I ship it back). Everything seemed new and worked properly besides the damage. I'm going to make a return and buy another. Great purchase, I just got unlucky.

I use this camera predominantly for Insight in my studio, I have 6k G2 on another side, I have 4k, and the Pro I got only in case I go to film anything outside just to have these internal NDs but it's a beast, the quality is insane.

Arrived on time and loving this camera. I’ve been working with other BMD gear for years and now have a camera that works with my BMD Studio 4K and perfect for our higher end productions. I do recommend getting additional batteries. I’ve been in production for over 30 years and this has a lot of options and a very nice picture. The internal ND filters remind me of my Sony VX 1000 which had internal ND Filters

Me gustó mucho la cámara es recomendable

I bought this to use as a center camera for multi-camera videos. It's large and stays on a tripod most of the time. The LCD touchscreen is very bright and the menu system is well organized. I record to an external Samsung T5 via the USB C connector. The camera can record in Blackmagic Raw which works very well in Davinci Resolve. I can edit directly from the T5 without copying the large raw files to my computer. I put a SmallRig cage around it so I can attach accessories. I use an external F970 battery on a small plate to power it via the 12V lemo connector. There are a few things that I miss that my camcorders have: continuous auto-focus and face recognition; electronic zoom - my Canon lens doesn't support that; one hand operation. The 6K Pro is not a direct replacement but is very good at what it does. There's a good app for iOS called Bluetooth+ that duplicates the camera menu on an iPad so you can make adjustments without touching the camera while recording.

The picture quality makes it a good companion to the URSA G2 4.6K

This camera is so perfect I almost don’t believe it’s real. Really the only thing that I don’t like about it is that you have to buy all these other things for it. i’ve been having the same camera for six years and this is my first time upgrading and it was well worth it.

数年前からタイムラプス動画で開花を撮影しています。 Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6Kの色味を簡潔に表すなら、濁りを感じない透明感に溢れた清々しい画質です。(カメラ内蔵のLUTを選択、キャノンのハーフマクロ50mm、RA95 LED照明の組み合わせで得られる画質の感想です。添付の絵は確認用モニター画面の複写です) ６KProに拘ったのは、チルト機構が加わりモニター面の向きが上下に変えられることと、内蔵NDフイルター仕様はPocket Cinema Cameraで最初だからです。 大きな背面モニターはタッチスクリーンになっており、設定メニューは細部の項目にまで対応しています。 三脚に固定してセッティングを終えてからパラメータを操作しても、フレーミングはズレません。 データストレージは、USB Type-Cと接続する外付けSSDが経済的です。Pocket Cinema Cameraと外付けSSDの組み合わせでは、メモリー容量の制限に気を遣わずに撮影に集中できます。 もし、動画撮影の機材選定をご検討中ならば、シリーズの4Kを加えてみてはいかがでしょうか。屋外での撮影シーンが多いようなら、重量の違いは取り回しに差がでるのでモチベーションに影響すると思われます。

Una bestia! Llevaba tiempo detrás de ella y decidí comprarla en Amazon porque necesitaba que llegara sí o sí para una grabación. Este modelo lo tiene todo. No es una máquina para manejar en un segundo, pero en cuestión de minutos puedes conseguir prácticamente cualquier cosa con ella. Me parece que en un segmento no hay nada igual. Ya sea para studio o filmaking esto es clave. Eso sí, una vez comparas la calidad de la BM con otras... no hay color!

La videocamera parla da sola, risultati fantastici, file ottimi. La consiglierei a chiunque voglia fare uno step in più.

Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit dem Service von dem Betrieb, habe die Kamera zurück geschickt,weill es für mich nicht passend war und muss sagen das das Unternehmen sehr freundlich war und alles sehr schnell rückerstattet hat. Vielen Dank an das Unternehmen

Have always loved red and blackmagic cameras. This one is great. Would like an excuse to buy a second. Great B cam. Nd filters are well designed and it just works. Love the simplicity of these cameras and the images is fantastic. The smaller sensor makes fire sharp focus.
