Thanks Peter !

DP is far superior to consumer based HDMI.

Nice camera for a tripod in a studio, for anything else which is 95% of all productions, it's unusable zero ergonomics cube. Oh, I forgot, new age kids glue their cameras to a gimbal and 18-35 :) :)

@@krane15 Yes, but I've never seen it on a camera. Have you?

everyone, fromm my experience is on an "iphone 13" trip, anybody with over 250k subs use blackmagic cinema cameras

​@@SoundOfYourDestiny DP is on all professional or "broadcast" cameras, black magic and the majority of cameras within reach of a youtuber are consumer or "pro-sumer" and they will have HDMI, a camera with a display port will cost thousands of dollars, like 5 figures.

Great production style for this video. It's a video camera, it does not film. :-)

how do you mean lack of crop sensor mode? you want a 1:1 readout instead of using the full sensor width?

@@neonvoid the URSA and the BMPCC have the crop sensor mode that is missing on the Studio and Micro Studio cameras. It enables the camera to read only the middle part of the sensor, effectively doubling the focal length. In a typical live stream the output of the live stream is 1080p anyway (Atem Minis and constellation HD do not even have the ability to go beyond 1080, as many other mixers as well). The BMD "Studio" cameras can only read the full sensor and then convert the signal from 4k to 1080 at the moment. In crop sensor/"window mode"(called in the URSA menu) the middle part of the sensor (1080 width) gets read out and that is directly the output signal. This may not be a perfectly accurate technical description of what is happening, but it is in principle exactly that. BMD "Studio" cameras are mainly used for their output signal to the video mixer, it seems therefore totally strange that those BMD "Studio" cameras miss that ability the pockets and the URSA have. Also, and that is in many cases the deal breaker for not having MFT mount cameras, there are not many if any good and more or less affordable MFT tele zoom lenses under F4. And yes, they are not parafocal anyway but in many cases zooming while being live is not crucial. It is fare more important to have a beautiful picture. Sorry for the long explanation but I wanted to have a complete answer. I would really like Blackmagic to make a software update to fix this issue, I am sure that would make a big difference for many and it is "just" a little software option. Please Blackmagic, I am begging you! Hope that somebody from Blackmagic is reading this 🤞🤞🤞

@@neonvoid in short, yes! 😁

The long version.. since Blackmagic already has the functionality to crop the sensor for a 1080 output on the URSA and BMPCC cameras, I guess it would not be a big thing to implement it on the studio cameras. The ATEM Minis and the Constellation HD series of BMD video mixers have 1080 as a maximum input and output anyway. In the 1080 workflow the cheaper mixers and the cheaper BMD Studio cameras are therefore a very good match. Next step in quality would be the URSAs and maybe the Production Studio or Broadcast Studio mixers if you want to stay all in BMD - but we are talking about MUCH more money. As a reminder - we are also talking about the "Micro STUDIO" and also the normal "STUDIO" cameras that do not have the sensor crop functionality, even though they are mainly used for their output signal in the STUDIO. There would be no real drawback to "reduce" the capability of the BDM Studio cameras with the sensor crop ("Window Crop") mode where the camera is outputting the middle of the sensor (1080 width) instead of rendering down the full 4K sensor to 1080 exept the benefits. Anyway the sensors of those cameras are very nice even for TV broadcasting! The main issue with those systems are the available lenses - there are no good options for tele zoom lenses under F4 for MFT mounts. The "trick" of the sensor mode doubles the "range"/focal lenght and maximizes the ability of the lenses. So please Blackmagic consider to implement the sensor crop mode of all of the Studio cameras, PLEASE!!

@@Matija___ i had a bmcc6k full frame for a short time, and i had the exact opposite problem, it can do only 1:1 crops, the HD crop on the 6K sensor is basically full tunnel vision - it CANNOT do full sensor width in 16:9 at all, only on obscure ratios (17:9 is the closest) - but you can't avoid black bars, since the HDMI output is 1080p60 ONLY. its ridiculous.

For sure !

Already done! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j9ipiqWlqc7bdas.htmlsi=N-_VNFenfvvqlqni

Yeah I was straight up confused over the lack of it. You could make a DIY arduino control system via SDI, but it would be way too large

@@xWood4000 For FPV the DJI Transmission system still makes so much sense.

They dropped the ball with the Lack of blueletooth

I really don't understand why you need Bluetooth for this camera? You have an Ethernet is not enough for a studio camera? If you need a camera for point and shoot this is not the right camera.

@@blender_wiki I'm looking at this as a camera I would use in the field, outdoors, and potentially a few of them at a time. With only one or two operators.

Yeah it's super decent

It is pretty unfortunate. However, you CAN run a long USB cable. Not ideal... but possible. Also.... BMD has implemented control over SDI on some cameras, so I wonder if that's present here.

I have this camera. Lack of Bluetooth isn't a deal breaker.

You cant satisfy an unappreciative and entitled individual. Their dream is killed because of something petty lol. @@mrshaheedmalik

But lack of a headphone jack is rough

how many experienced individuals use the native headphone jack instead of the dedicated interface that's recording? I wouldn't trust a preamp in any cinema camera. Especially, if its using the same power source as the main circuit. I think any experience audio engineer knows better even if its just for reference @@scottr3299

internal recording is a good thing when you are our and about .. this one does not have any internal recording

@@framestomind7548 yes that’s a big difference .. are there any other notable differences?

This is camera review.

14mm Panasonic LUMIX G Lens. Beware that this camera has a very slow rolling shutter (~16.66ms) so be ready for potential jello drone footage.

Do that with the switcher.... you'd hope.

You can hook a mini drive to the USB-C port. I saw a FPV drone pilot with this option. The video is on KZfaq.

@@mrshaheedmalik Yep. That, admittedly, is how I use my Cine gear - with external drives. I just find it easier, and also cheaper with the cost of decent sized SSDs versus CFast or even SD UHS-II. But in a highly compact application, like a drone, it would be fab to have an internally mounted storage medium for balance and connection integrity too.

So, I can answer this since I use 4 of these ptz setups. We use a dual DTap ac wall plug with a ronin tilta base mount. One power’s camera, the other the gimbal.

@@timothy4262 Cool, thank you - I'll try to find a good one. I noticed the Smallrig version of the baseplate actually has passthrough power (Middle Things has videos with both Tilta and Smallrig versions), so that might be a good solution for the camera once the baseplate itself has power. I appreciate you taking the time to reply! :)

Depends on what you want to do

Or you could buy all in one ( Pocket 4K ) with 30% pricier

Unfortunately I didn't manage to record to a SSD with a hub. Tried two different hubs. But maybe I did something wrong

Thank you. Apparently lots of people online are asking if that is possible. I see some people had been successful but none posted what kind of hub they used that was successful. I believe a USB-c to on USB-c 3.1 and two USBc- 2.0 port may work. Or a Hub with an external power supply.

I am successfully using this camera two Crucial X9 Pro 2TB SSDs with a UNI-G EHUB01 ethernet hub stably. This setup is very sensitive to the type of USB-C cables used. Many hubs and cables will add too much latency between the camera and the drive and corruption or frames loss will occur. Pulling footage immediately after shoot over SMB is awesome.
