Yes, my camera of choice for the past year and love it! Exactly the same situation with NDs for me. For me - BRAW and the handling of the camera is the gold. I kinda feel good holding it, when it doesn't look like a small photo camera and with the tilting big bright monitor right on the body. All the wins. The perfect handling especially with the cage where the ssd mount is by default.

Agree on the batteries - I’ve bought a number of different brands and I was surprised how they do not perform equivalently. The Blackmagic batteries outperform the cheaper options every time. You get what you pay for applies very much. I have the Tilta cage (I’m all in on Tilta) and focus grip which houses a 560 battery - this gives quiet a few hours of runtime.

Fantastic info on the BMPCC Michael. What is your experience on the BM’s auto-focus feature? Is it limited, what gear do you recommend around it?

@initialfocus 6 ай бұрын

AF on Blackmagic is just to quickly set spot focus. It is not continuous and obviously you need an AF lens. So I rarely use that button hah. Decent for setting focus quickly before you start recording

Shooting in Raw is a game changer. I know some filmmakers rather use Prores because of file size but as a colorist, we want THAT RAW CODEC. We want the beefiest codec so we can push & pull our colors to Infinity if possible.

Great Video Michael. You are very tech guy. I switch this year from BMPCC 6K to Sony FX30 the mane reason is autofocus and size. I know pocket 6K is very small, but compered to Sony FX30 it is pretty big. Also lens are a lot more out there for APSC.

Hi great Video, I am a big fan of Black magic...I had one question About gimbal for it you used the crane 3S for a time and DJI RSC3 pro...is the crane 3S as bad as many people is saying it is?and RSC3 pro is far better?

@initialfocus Жыл бұрын

Crane 3S is no where near a BAD gimbal. It’s just older at this point and doesn’t have all the bells and whistles some of the newer DJI gimbals do. But I will say for heavier/bigger setups there is NO sub $1K gimbal that outdoes the Crane 3S. I loved mine, I just didn’t need the size of it anymore

@Henchproductions Жыл бұрын

EF mount is a severely limiting factor. When I wanted to move up, there was no bmpcc 6k solution. I moved to the Panasonic s1h and, Blackmagic video assist . It's infinitely easier to balance my anamorphic lenses than even the BMPCC 4k. It has an OLP filter and batteries last hours

did you shoot 17k hours on this bmpcc 6k pro?

@zechenwei1139 Жыл бұрын

Honestly I don't really get the idea of wanting this to become a "box" style camera besides it may look cooler.. you will HAVE to rig it up for handheld, unlike what the 6k pro allows you to basically use it as is. and if you need to rig the camera up for larger shoots, what is the difference between the current style and a box? you would still need to use a cage for both.

@initialfocus Жыл бұрын

A lot of it has to do with gimbal compatibility. Pocket cameras are notorious for not balancing properly on many gimbals due to the awkward size and weight distribution. Box cameras are much better at this. Plus you wouldn’t have to rig up a box. Look at the Komodo. At a side handle and clean monitor on top and you’re done for a basic setup.

@zechenwei1139 Жыл бұрын

@@initialfocus Yeah but the komodo also basically can't be used without those things for handheld work...

@@initialfocus and if I could balance the 6k pro just fine on my little rsc2, I don't see a huge problem😂if people really want to use this camera on the rs3 mini then fine... but then you would need continous autofocus, too. Don't take me wrong, like the other person said, I would LOVE to see a box styled Ursa at some point. but I do feel like a box-style pocket camera is moving in the opposite direction of what BMD is doing with the 6k pro vs 6k.

@RandomMotoThings Жыл бұрын

@@zechenwei1139 I 100% agree. I rather have them stay in the same direction. It’s very unique and you don’t need to rig up external monitor and other accessories. Far as I’m concerned the less cables and extras the better.

Regarding the Vlogging Situation: I really like to use the DJI RavenEye as my external "Monitor". You have always a Phone or Pad in your Bag. So its a light and relativly cheap way to have an external screen on the pocket. Not to mention all the other uses it has.

00:00 📷 Two-year review of Blackmagic pocket 6K Pro: Highlights and considerations for potential buyers. 1:44 🔍 Viewfinder and accessories review: Useful in sunlight but not essential; accessories like battery grip discussed. 3:04 🔋 Battery grip experience: Provides extended recording time but adds bulk and inconvenience during battery changes. 4:42 💡 Importance of battery quality: Recommends using Blackmagic branded batteries for longevity and performance. 6:36 🛡 Build quality: Plastic unibody construction with added protection from camera cage; durable despite lacking waterproofing. 7:10 🌐 Internal ND filter: Highly praised for its convenience and versatility in various shooting conditions. 8:52 🖥 User interface: Commendation for Blackmagic's intuitive UI compared to other camera brands. 10:23 🎥 Camera quality: Continued satisfaction with RAW shooting capabilities despite newer codec options available. 11:10 ⚙ Desirable changes for future versions: Requests for a more compact body style, swivel screen, and improved app connectivity. 13:02 💰 Overall verdict: Still a worthwhile purchase in 2023, pending potential announcements at NAB.

I agree with many of the things you said in the video. For me the best solution for power has been the Anton Bauer Titon base; it’s been a fantastic ride. In my opinion, the only camera that would excite me to shoot with, within an “affordable” range is the RED Komodo 6K. Shooting in RAW with that thing is heaven.
