This Camera is Hollywood Level but it’s Cheap

In this video, I break down why the Blackmagic 6K Full Frame is the ultimate cinema camera you should consider right now. This camera is truly a hidden gem—unbelievably underrated just because it’s not in a “box” shape. But trust me, the 6K Full Frame is a cinematic cheat code that can turn your world into a movie!

I took it to Long Island City, New York, to test it out and was blown away by the results. Watch as I put the Blackmagic 6K Full Frame to the test and see why it outshines the competition in real-world shooting.

If you’re looking for the best cinema camera for filmmakers right now, this might be it. In this video I breakdown its performance, features, and why it’s perfect for creating breathtaking visuals.

I saw this video twice, skipped it first, then the thumbnail changed, and clicked on it. Was the one with the camera and all the arrows. Puts the focus on the camera, and not you, which apologies, but that’s what a first time watcher is here for!

Yeah, for me its either the C400/C80 or PYXIS/BMCC6K. But despite its high price tag in this comparison I am most stronly leaning towards the C400 because of all of its features that makes incredibly fast pace run an gun shooting easier (5 integrated very strong ND filters up to 10 stops and triple base ISO to get your lighting right in any situation, while you dont even need to be in control of the lighting; working Autofocus; multi functional grip, support for 12-pin power connector for broadcast lenses, which dont have AF but are just incredibly versatile, because you barely need to swap lenses because they dont only have big zoom ranges, but also integrated focal range extenders, which reduce the amount of times you need to spend time swapping lenses - you also get the RF 24-105 F2.8, which gives you a lot of options while shooting at any aperture you could ask for, while offering still a wide zoom range even on a full frame sensor, without needing to crop)

Always love love the Blackmagic system! Great breakdown!

I have the original 6K. Been hacked with the Tilta screen mod, so screen is adjustable. I have it as my everyday carry. It has changed me.

I did not realise how much the hybrid cameras were holding me back. So many tricks, gotchas and buried controls. It had me spooked. I thought it was me. That I was just crap at getting footage. All the focus assist and stabilisation was conditioning me to keep my hands off the lens, use a poor holding technique and to let the camera drive focus. And yes my filmmaking was technically crap but more importantly it had no direction. I was a spectator of the camera. Luckily it died of heat exhaustion one day. I got a 6K as a loaner.

What they don’t tell you about manual focus and hand holding is just how many decisions you have to make during every take. And while you are making those decisions you are involved in the take. You are growing as a film maker. Your curiosity grows, confidence grows. Ability grows. You start building scenes out of short takes. Understanding direction. And then it becomes fun. You want to shoot because it feels great and you want to do more. Grow more.

The Blackmagic pocket camera is like a massive catchers mitt. As long as I don’t see zebras I know I have detail in the footage. White balance? All good, adjust it later. Bit of shakes, hardly a problem when you hold it well and Da Vinci has my back. Focus? Yeah, follow the red outlines – piss easy. My rig out is a cold shoe mount on the top and a quick release strap on the bottom Manfrotto plate. It goes from bag to recording in under 10 seconds. My Canon R6 could never be action ready that fast and get it right. This 6K beast smokes it with ease time and again.

Oh, and can I say that just pointing this camera at reality turns the world into a stage. I too have had those smiles from people transfixed by the replay.

This was absolutely amazing. Great filming and color grading my g..

[LucindaLives]

Thanks for a great review! The false color feature is great. So cool that Blackmagic let you test it out, a shame you have to return it tho! 😅😅

[p.lakshminarayana]

[penyaevpavel]

Thank you, this is very interesting! 🙌🎥✨

Hi. Did you shoot in the super35 crop format? Is the video quality decreasing? I have a lot of super35 lenses and I don't want to sell them at a loss.

[RockWILK]

YO, glad you had so much fun shooting. Hope you still have love for your GH5 once you send it back, but I'm predicting you will be withdrawing some money out of your account soon to bring this camera back to your proverbial kitchen to continue to cook with it. Once you have your hands on it, it's hard to forget... ;) Cool work here, good insight into what the camera is like in real-life use, and awesome overall as usual. Onward you go!! Thanks for sharing.
