The latest version is the BMPCC 6K Pro, a hybrid of the video and stills world. Features such as built-in ND’s, more extensive file format options and cooling are all essential and often excluded from mirrorless and DSLR cameras.īlackmagic Design has plenty of experience manufacturing affordable broadcast and filmmaking kit, and its answer to the rise of the mirrorless is the Pocket Cinema Camera. However, as good as the footage is, the design and features of the likes of the Sony A7S III are still limited when it comes to what filmmakers need. The rise of mirrorless and DSLR cameras has somewhat overtaken that of dedicated camcorders. The camera has everything you need, and as you rummage through the menu’s the camera opens up a whole world of filmmaking potential.īuttons are kept to a minimum, but there is plenty of scope for customising their use, which is well worth doing for the time it saves.įilming with the BMPCC 6K Pro is smooth and fluid, and once you familiarise yourself with the balance of control, the results obtained are exceptional.Īside from the odd design, there’s little to fault with this outstanding camera I wish for the same camera with a box design and flip-out screen, which would make this perfect. When you get into filming, the camera comes into its own, and you can see why these cameras have created such a buzz in the independent filmmaker’s community. In use, the ergonomics of the body makes sense and makes for comfortable handling even if I can’t get on with the futuristic design.
When it comes to looks and handling, the BMPCC 6K Pro is more mirrorless than camcorder, but this is no stills camera as the quality of footage it captures is staggeringly good.
It’s a full-blown cinema camera that offers filmmakers the Hollywood experience in a small and relatively inexpensive body. The Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema 6K Pro is something of an oddity.
