Thank you so much for this manual! It helped me a lot to set up my camera. The footage I’m getting is already impressing everybody I show it to!

[MarioLanPichu]

Agradezco enormemente este vídeo.
Soy usuario de una BMPCC4K desde hace unos pocos días y este vídeo ha sido casi como leer el manual pero mucho más ameno.
La cantidad de enlaces a otros vídeos que has puesto realmente interesantes son de grandísima ayuda, uno de ellos es el que nos enseña o muestra las verdades del ISO dual en esta cámara.
Tus vídeos de 180 están geniales.
Muchas gracias por este gran trabajo.

[danyboies]

MERCI MERCI MERCI ....
you save my life ... one video and all may question is gone !

[RC-rdbh]

Merci beaucoup de mettre gracieusement toutes vos connaissances au service gens !

[krocodilemedia]

The OFFICIAL Bmpcc tutorial. Great Job!

[ETROFMUSIC]

Can't believe I made it through the ENTIRE video! very informative! I learned so much..took me 2 days to watch it all the way through but I made it! THANK YOU

[orangebetsy]

Reallyt remedous piece of work here, much appreciated!

[michaelstaley]

listening to this like a podcast late at night haha

[irongrip]

Amazing guide for the BMPCC4K! Thanks! : )

[JensChrStrandos]

Wonderful video. Great work you have done here.

[stefanhougaerts]

Thanks for people like you, truly helpful and well done!

[lthouston]

great review, this is the official unofficial pocket 4k video manual

[VivaMediaInc]

Super in depth and helpful resource guys! Really really cool. We wish we had something similar when we ventured into the pocket camera line up back in the day. We shoot on 6K Pro's now with a lot of this would still apply. She's a lengthy video, but if people really want to sit down and learn, this is the perfect one stop shop.

[tarantulacollective]

This must have been a herculean effort to film and edit...but thank you so much for all the hard work and getting all this info out there!

[marcosilva]

Awesome, thanks !! BMPCC6K tutorial soon ?

[nicolasfarall]

Excellent video! thanks a lot for your help. I have a question. When using a gimbal, which is the best method in order to have enough power to be shooting for a long time? thanks very much.

[DerrykSchieck]

This gonna be ! Epic dude, thanks. Altough i dont even have one :D do want one tho lol

[makestuffmike]

I’ll need a huge coffee for this one. BRB!

[claytoncreative]

Is there any way of seeing your recording resolution on the screen… so like 6K Raw or 4k ProRes… just changed up from a Sony FS5 and that was kind of handy to have on screen to quickly check what format you were shooting in…
