Want just the left or right on-camera mic to be active? And you can do it all very easily thanks again to the fantastic user interface. But the monitor is good for more than just touch focus. The menu is operated by touch, although there are buttons for the things you use the most often, like ISO and shutter speed.
Features of the Blackmagic Pocket 6K Pro
Grant petty who runs BMD knows his stuff and there's a reason hundreds or thousands of multi million dollar budgeted films or docos or such are either partly shot on BMD product or edited with Resolve. They are very thoughtful about picking just the right lenses for each particular project. They'll test two or three different types, brands, and eras of lenses to make sure they get the look they want. Focusing on a rinky-dink screen, especially in motion and daylight, is a losing proposition. Hope Huawei do use their mobile phone to capture the sample shots.

Auto ON/OFF controlled by inbuilt proximity sensor. Supports recording optional portrait mode metadata for all resolutions in Blackmagic RAW and ProRes. 2 x mini XLR analog switchable between mic with phantom power support and line level (up to +14dBu). As a reviewer who connects with manufacturers and helps readers find the perfect laptop, hearing from creators–pros and hobbyists alike–is the ultimate validation. "Hey, your review helped me choose my laptop!" That kind of feedback makes all the work we do feel extra valuable.
Features and specs
A more affordable option is to use small (but not as small) external SSDs like Samsung’s T5 line, which attach to the camera via the USB-C input. These work exceptionally well for all but the highest-quality 6K raw recording, and their relatively low price point means you can buy many of them for your kit bag. I like shooting on them (and always carry eight), but it’s important to use cable locks so that the USB cable doesn’t pop out of the camera in the middle of a shoot—obviously, that’s a disaster. One nice thing about the camera, though, is that if this does happen, the BMPCC 6K Pro will save almost all of the footage up to the point of cable failure.
Built-in Microphones and Professional Audio Inputs
They still can’t easily acquire licensing for the RF and E mounts. The L-mount however, it’s completely possible, but the mount’s current lens lineup is still not there. It’s certainly possible to shoot hand held on an 85mm lens in some scenarios with this camera. It all depends on what you’re doing and the skill of the operator. @Ran Ridley, you are incorrect on one important point.
IPad control, Bluetooth control, USB PTP camera control. External control of some camera settings, focus, iris and zoom with compatible lenses, color corrector, tally and internal record start and stop when used with a compatible ATEM and ATEM Software Control. Automatically populated lens data from electronic EF lenses. Plus, it has voice and gesture controls for hands-free shooting and super easy AI-powered editing to help you create stunning videos. If you're looking for a powerful and versatile 360° camera, the Insta360 X4 is a good option to look at. The X4 also doubles as a regular action camera with super smooth 4K recording and a super wide 170° field of view.

It uses Blackmagic's proprietary demosaiced and compressed 'Blackmagic RAW' format and can generate H.264 proxy files alongside. Nothing else does what this camera does anywhere near this price point, so no. Blackmagic Design has essentially no direct competition here. That said, many people will find a hybrid mirrorless camera to be easier to work with.

Then he pointed out "You could of course be pedantic and hold them to account for the lens seen in the photo and claim misleading advertising. However the handheld claim isn't wrong." As far as "misleading advertising", SteveV4D also said "the wrong choice of lens for a marketing photo, which is unfortunate, but hardly damming", and I agree. What about car ads with beautiful smug people blasting down abandoned cityscapes at illegal speeds? My reality has been throat-searing pollution, traffic jams, and parking fines I didn’t even realise I was incurring. I think that you can use only lens stabilization on BPMCC and to limited effect as well.
Maximum frame rates at the top resolutions are limited to 36 fps for full-frame and 50 fps for the Pocket. While I do not know many indie filmmakers (directors) and cannot talk about them in general, it looks like the common practice among tham is not to buy cinema cameras and lenses, but to rent them instead. They can choose whatever suits them best at the moment, and can hire a guy who knows the chosen system much better than they would ever did.I am talking about high end systems, not about entry level ones. I am absolutely convinced, the more I was thinking and reading your words.
Canon should offer adapted optics from big cine lens names in partnership with a big rental shop. There's already RED Komodo and they're potentially willing to offer more RF models just on the basis of what I just suggested. The NRE for RF would be astronomical in comparison. They would have to reverse engineer it, then implement it, then deal with the customer support issues when their first attempt inevitably had major issues when first deployed to real customers. I have really issue with balancing a pocket 6k on a gimbal I don’t think the 6k pro will be any better. I was hopeing for a rehoused pocket 6k to red Komodo case.
You know as well as I know the result will not be acceptable footage, it is simply not realistic. You call that "slightly romanticised", and I call it "misleading" marketing. I would imagine they will ride the wave of EF mount bodies for a little while longer, there are still many new and used EF lenses available.
The above photo is from the battery grip, but the idea is the same. Even the camera itself has those two 1/4 inch tripod plate mounting points. I know it sounds strange, but not so many compact cameras have this essential option. The Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro was introduced last month and now we were finally able to get our hands on it.
I assume this is an entry-level camera and the folks looking into this might not want to get too many additional accessories, line a monitor, and such. As part of its long-running Shot on iPhone series, Apple recently handed acclaimed Japanese director Takashi Miike (Audition, 13 Assassins, The Happiness of the Katakuris) an iPhone 15 Pro to shoot a short film. This is a very well-built machine and there is little to worry about mechanically as there are so few moving parts. Blackmagic Design has already demonstrated a willingness to keep the camera fresh with firmware updates, as well, as we have seen with the announcement of the upcoming Blackmagic RAW format. We expect you could easily get several years of use out of it. If you’re in the middle of an interview, particularly if you’re a single operator and can’t constantly watch the monitor, this could be a potentially disastrous issue.
Recording works in industry standard 10-bit Apple ProRes files in all formats up to 4K or 12-bit Blackmagic RAW in all formats up to 6K. Developers can download and use the free Blackmagic RAW SDK to add support into their applications. Best of all media files work on all operating systems plus you can format media cards and disks in HFS+ for Mac and ExFAT for Windows. The front and top of the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera features record start/stop and still photo buttons along with dedicated controls for iris, ISO, white balance and shutter speed.
You want a camera that excels at stills Yes, technically you can take still shots with this camera. But with no standard controls for adjusting aperture, shutter speed and the like, it’s not designed for traditional photography at all. You want bang for your buck Okay, this clearly isn’t a 'budget' option compared to mirrorless or DSLR cameras. But put it next to most professional cinema cameras and it’s a different story, especially considering you get a screen, ND filters and more included. The built-in ND filters, meanwhile, mean you can also film in bright sunlight with wide open apertures without blowing out the brighter areas of the picture. One notable improvement over the regular Pocket Cinema Camera 6K in the Pro is the inclusion of three built-in ND filters, which can be quickly cycled through using a two thumb buttons on the camera’s rear.
