#BlackMagic #BMPCC #Review

[kamikaze]

I’ll never get rid of mine. It has a look that no other BM camera can attain. I shoot 12 bit 4:4:4 4K with a FS700R but I still love this little guy.

[ZachChmael]

This may still be one of the best camera's for the price point anyone can buy. Loved the video man. I'm a bmpcc 6k shooter myself, and am actively looking to pick one of these up as well. Great channel, I do a lot of the same kinds of videos too. Subbed.

[groesbeck]

Just a reminder, a ND filter and IR cut filter are basic requirements for the super 16 sensor on this camera. Native ISO is 800.

Dang can’t we all just ask Blackmagic to put this model back into production? Its honestly the smallest camera you’ll find with this good of a color science and the ability to shoot raw. I’m scared mine will be broken one day. Or just let them make it Bmpcc 4k mini.

this camera needs a cage or a stabilized lens to smooth out the footy. this camera pairs perfectly with davinci resolve and you can truly get arri looking images out of this thing

[PATASONIC]

You need to use a 16mm lens or less to get steady handheld shots. I use an 8mm lens and it gives you that nice wide-angle look.

[michaelray]

The Lexar 633x (95 MB/s) works with this camera. Can be found at a local Staples. For real, it’s a hit or miss finding a card that works. You are welcome!

Also, by far my favorite camera and pairs nicely with my EOS-M (Magic Lantern).

[AiurMedia]

great sample videos! I've seen someone posting samples in 1080p and yt compression butchered the resolution completely, finally i can see what this camera really can do

[SHACKVLOG]

great video!!!!
so nice work!!✨✨
from JAPAN!!

[imothy]

you didn't mention you can use stabilized lenses with this I use a panasonic lumix g vario 14-45mm lens and it works pretty nice. Auto focus is a little slow on it, but it does autofocus Mostly I stick with prime lenses and cheap c mount lenses because of the crop factor!

[gottanikoncamera]

Oh, great—there go the eBay prices for the Pocket OG, lol. I’m buying a backup. I love mine and really like using them with vintage c-mount lenses intended for 16mm movie cameras.

By modern standards the batt life sucks. But compared to 16mm film cameras where a 100’ load got you less than 4 minutes, it’s plenty. So I shoot it with a film mindset.

I should add it rolls highlights off so gently because it has a custom dual-gain sensor. It records two data streams at two different EVs. Pretty darn trick.

I clicked faster in this video than i can ever run

[juanpayan]

I agree with your entire review . Great video !

[blackreelentertainment]

If im not mistaken, don't this camera has 12 stops of dynamic range?

[parkerharris]

I just purchased mine and I’m getting all the necessary gear to start out but definitely need some help. I I’m getting the smallrig attachment for the Sony battery but I need the cord where can I get that. Also it came with a Panasonic lumix 14-140 lens and I’m looking for other lenses or nd filters for this one. Any help would be awesome. Love the video an super excited to start working with this camera.

[JayBadman]

What’s so crazy I paid 500 for it originally when they had the fire sale

[MaxMautner]

What kind of rig were you using to capture the sample handheld footage you have in the video? Looks relatively stable, impressive!
EDIT: nevermind, got to the discussion of this @7:50

[josgoodkid]

Where can I find a good compatible cage and viewfinder for this camera ?

[TommyAmongstTheTombstones]

What lens would you recommend with this that’s decently affordable?

[imothy]

I picked one up last year with a nice cage, sony NPF battery bank, and 2 batteries for $400
