+MaghoxFr I was going to ask about that, so thanks.

Thats awesome. yeah I dont know too much about the remote features. I know it should connect to a few drones nicely though

I havent tried RAW yet and its not something I used as often as I thought I would. Prores HQ still retains a great amount of data in each clip and is far mor convenient. I will do a RAW test though. Hopefully this weekend. 60fps was the only reason I bought the camera, but be aware that it doesnt do 60fps raw. but like I said, prores hq is damn good

Oh wow! no raw 60fps. That is definitely disappointing especially since they scrapped the global shutter also, but either way 13 stops of dynamic range and true 4:2:2 at 10bits recording is still a huge step up from a canon dslr so i will probably still end up buying this camera. Thanks again for the info!

+Millz a little bit of an update. I just check and it does NOT have RAW 60fps, however it has RAW 3:1 at 60fps. I am not too familiar with RAW 3:1 because my other pockets and cinema camera dont have it, but from the impression im getting is that it is compressed raw. I dont know too much about it so I could be wrong but Ill continue to look it up

I think a video like this would be much more enjoyable without any music.

I have a metabones speed booster that controls it

+Josef Eliasson The Forward/Back buttons adjust the iris up and down, much like on the Pocket.

Wes Darbouze as far as I remember... Yes

Wes Darbouze just Lite. You have to go to Blackmagic's $1,995 and above cams to get full resolve

I guess your right about the battery. I didnt think of that. but anyways, next video is here. thanks!!! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bL9jm8mgut2leps.html

+Łukasz K Hey, it has the pins in the micro four thirds mount and I believe you can change the iris in camera. I havent tried it yes, but ide assume it functions with the forward and back buttons. I am going to run some more tests this weekend. And yes, my monitor is only 30 fps, so I dont see why not

+Łukasz K It depends on how the monitor handles 60fps. Some will automatically scale the signal while others will go black.

+Gravity Media Productions Thanks, yes I believe it came with one battery.

chungdha I honestly dont think so, it may be a LITTLE better but I still never use it.

Your absolutely right and I agree 100% its just not a pro for myself and my uses

it can do 60 fps raw, but it is a compressed raw format. not full raw

+John J. Sheridan Thank you

yes

ISO should be in the first menu section, they run in increments of 200, 400, 800 and 1600 so look for one of those numbers. Mine says ISO. I honestly cant answer the aperature question since I have only used lenses wit speedboosters. Sorry about that :( Hope you find it and share how you did if your able to!!!

Thanks, John. I have the Micro Studio Camera 4k, so maybe my version is a little different. The only thing I have similar to ISO is "Gain," but it's much less flexible with only four settings (0db, +6db, +12db, and +18db). No luck on in-camera aperture yet. I'll keep you posted if I start to figure things out.

Bray Addison the gain is in reference to the sound. Did you try using the forward and backwards buttons to navivate left and right on the menu screen?

Hey, the best power solution that I found was usung an external power bank, Ive seen some other videos where you can adapt the batteries, but I havent tried that because im comefortable with the battery that I have. It lasts me days at a time. It was from amazon and the name was Intocircuit Power Monster 32000mAh Portable Charger Power Bank with 3-Port Output

Cool! Thanks for the reply, I'll check that out. At what voltage is it 32000mAh spec?

Honestly I am not too sure. I've never mounted it to a drone, but I dont see it being too bad for a professional level camera.

I honestly have no idea, I have used autofocus once and it is still not very quick. I am not entirely sure that I would put it on a helmet or expose it to the elements, it has a fan the extrudes air from the back and I would be worried if something got in it

Its most likely your computer. It may not be powerful enough to play raw or prores at full quality. Try exporting it and see if you can play it smooth at 1080. Or even upload it to KZfaq and check that way.

Man, you're probably right. When I drag the clip onto my desktop is says "cant support". So I'm guessing it is the computer which really sucks. Is there another way to upload it to youtube since my computer won't support it? The clip shows up in Davinci Resolve fine. Just plays terrible in it. Sorry I know that's a dumb question but I'm really not wanting to go buy a super expensive computer at the moment.

Marc Crockett I havent never heard of that or even seen it. Can you send me some examples? I used to use my blackmagic for pretty high end interviews and have never come across this problem

Let me find a clip from my video to show. just a sec.

vimeo.com/200601525 Pixelation on guy's face on right (2:08) And on bride's arm (2:32) And on everyone's skin (3:20). It may be something I did wrong and not the camera but I haven't had this problem before until I used bmmcc. Thanks.

sorry for the late response, but yeah thats weird. Ive never heard of that and I have the pocket, micro, cinema and production cam. Use them all for interviews and testimonials mainly

I should have used nd filters for outside shots but didn't have them. That's the only other thing I think it could be if it wasn't the bmmcc. I recently read that when using a a lens with a very high f# like f16- f22 you can get get some weird stuff like pixelation going on. Thanks for taking a look.

Kamal Sinno there is no specific monitor that you need. And also, if you got the 4k version there is no memory card slot. So that could be your problem

OK if there no card slot what should idiot but for the card. It came with a black magic card with resolve built into it

I do* not idiot. Autocorrect!!!

Kamal Sinno you will need an external recorder that can capture raw and 4k such as the blackmagic video assist or something from atamos

OK thanks. Is this problem in all black magic cameras or just this?We got this to shoot web videos and indoor stuff. Sometimes outdoor. It can be done or is it just a broadcast type of cam

Mine is the nikon version

pocket cinema one is specific to the micro and the pocket. the lens sits back further and closer to the sensor. The micro four thirds is a little bit more flat and designed for cameras such as the gh4. Sitting a specific distance away from the sensor. you can see in the video that the pocket cinema camera speed booster works on both but for some reason the kicro four thirds only fits on the pocket. I really dont know why that is, they are both micro four thirds mounts

Thank you very much for your answer. I thought maybe there is a technical difference but apparently not and it's a good idea to go with the pocket cinema one. Thanks for the review again.

+John J. Sheridan Hi John, thanks for your review and 60P video! Thinking about this issue, as I plan to use any M43 lens I use in the GH3/4: Olympus Zuiko 12 and 25mm, and a couple of Canon FD with adapters to M43. So The BM Micro should work with your MB SB m43 or none other m43 will do? Did you try any m43 lens? Did you try any other adapter to m43? Thanks!

+tochomocha I just tried my 14-42 hd lens that comes with the gh4 and another mft adapter and they both worked fine. Not really sure why my mft speedbooster for gh4 doesnt fit. maybe that speedbooster was defective. I really dont know the answer

For under $2k ide go with the pocket cinema just for the simple fact that it has a monitor built in (even though it's not that good). Any one of the black magics are a big investment, they're so cheap because they sell you great video quality, all the other components of the cameras are useless. Ebay is your friend here, you can probably get one for $600 just the camera. 60 fps enables you to do slow motion. if you put it in a 24fps timeline, you can slow it down to 40%. Personally, I use that a lot. I also like the colors on the micro a little better though. keep in mind that you'll need to invest in lenses (I would suggest canon or nikon) never micro four thirds in my opinion and a speed booster is a must. If your going to be doing audio too than that's another game changer. I don't even think the audio is usable when outputting to any of the blackmagics

Here is what I am planning to buy: 1- Rode VideoMic GO On-Camera Shotgun Microphone =$99 2- Blackmagic Micro Camera 4k = $960 I bid on it :) 3- Studio LED Lamp Video Movie 50W Day White Light = $140 4-DSLR Rig Kit Shoulder Mount Rig with Follow Focus and Matte Box = $92 5- And the lenses you have told me about + filters and the sun reflect so what do you think os this plane or should i just go with the pocket camera? because it will save me the LCD Video DSLR Camera Monitor its like $140

+Je As if your on a budget you do NOT want the micro 4k. it doesnt have an internal recorder (sd slot) Youll have to but a blackmagic video assist ($495 for the 1080p version) or an atmos 4k recorder (well over $495). The sigma 18-35mm 1.8g is my favorite lens, you can most likely get it for around $600 on ebay or craigslist.

so what do you think overall. I mean what are the big different between the pocket and micro 4k is not big deal i will go a little cheaper

.

second that!!!

third that!

Still a great camera, And i'm differently getting one soon

I'm really leaning towards it as well. Can anyone tell me if I am using the video assist can I still record raw directly to the micro cinema? I understand the video assist only films in pro res.

I honestly have no idea, I dont see why you wouldnt be able to do that, as the hdmi signal still outputs to the monitor while recording raw on the camera

BlackMagic Cinema Camera

John J. Sheridan so you have 3 of those? I already see two on record

You pretty much need a display, you cant see anything without it. Settings, Aperture, Frame Rate, Memory Card Info, Anything

Actually, that's not the problem. I just wanted to know if the camera do work without a display. Because I plan to use the camera without, just by knowing how to set the lense. (with a lot of practicing, of course)

It seemed to set the mood for the review.

+Steve Ritchie ok so I just re-examined it and the front is definitely aluminum, the back... its hard to tell, its very soft, but KIND OF feels like aluminum, or plastic. I really cant tell. Either really hard plastic of really soft aluminum. And the sides are another different texture and again I cant really tell. Maybe it is all aluminum and I'm just a dope, but personally I thought it felt really cheap thats why I thought it was plastic before taking a closer look

+John J. Sheridan Thanks for the excellent review of this camera - you are the first one to show the menu and button system, and how to change settings. Thanks for this!

+Steve Ritchie you got it!!! I have a lot of cool stuff but ive never done reviews or tutorials, want to start on my free time. I am working on a 60fps test video as we speak and a comparison against the GH4

+Steve Ritchie The core chassis is a magnesium alloy with a plasticized finish.

Upgrading from the Canon 60D for film use.

GH5 all the way dude. I sware by that thing now, barely even take out my micro more than once a month

You're comparing a professional camera to a consumer camera.

READY, SET, WOAH not really. Black magic micro is at $995 that’s a consumer price range not professional price range. GH5 is at $2000. They are both good cameras. But I even prefer the GH5. You can definitely get the cinema film look from a GH5.

Almatik Price range is irrelevant. The BMMCC is a professional tool meant for professionals. Hence why it needs so much accessories - just like any other cinema camera. Panasonic even states on its website that the GH5 is a consumer camera. Everyday you see people asking “should I get the Sony A6300 or the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera”. Like they’re even slightly comparable. ಠ_ಠ

yes I have one. I use it with my cinema camera too, lasts more then a full day

Read the disclaimer!!! It was a mistake, im sorry people!!!!! You live and you learn

this song rules. ignore the haters
