      Yeah, Idunno what they're thinking. The BMPCC is such a bizarre form-factor. It's basically become the shape of a gigantic photography camera. That makes no sense for a video-camera. Why don't they make it the shape of a camcorder? Or a box camera?

    The best part is the v mount, I am in love with that part of the mod, I know it is a lot to ask for, but in my opinion the ideal would be for the monitor to be removable. My idea is to have an extension of the cable that connects the monitor to the body of the camera and the monitor to have a 1/4" screw with locating pins on the base to place the monitor on a top handle if you want.

    • @DangerousDevilOfficial
      @DangerousDevilOfficial 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

  • @ClaesLind
    @ClaesLind 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    Pledged! I think this looks really promising. I have two P4Ks and this could potentially turn one of them into a more nimble set up. Willing to give it a try!
    I've always used them with external monitors rigged to top handles, which is the main reason I've added the top handle for anyway. Carrying the camera and resting between shots are secondary uses, but I rarely find myself using the handle while recording.
    The way this places the monitor on top of the camera, and much closer to the body compared to attaching it to a handle, while also freeing up the HDMI port to be used with a transmitter rather than an extra monitor is really good. Plus you run power and video feed to the monitor over the same cable, giving you a much cleaner build without external batteries or power cables to D-tap and extruding HDMI ports.
    With a half cage on the left side like you showed, you can still rig up a rod with follow focus and keep the small footprint.
    The only things that I can see as possible limitations are if you want to add a shotgun microphone or an easyrig. But I'm sure that can be worked around somehow.
    Great to see that you can still improve these cameras all these years later. Would be very interested to see a gen 2 of this solution for the 6K Pro with internal NDs, with some thoughts to how you can improve further and allow for more versatile builds.
    Now we just need BM to support more anamorphic ratios natively, which is another drawback from getting rid of the external monitor.

  • @fanjan7527
    @fanjan7527 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +13

    I'd suggest an additional step in the mod, regarding that ribbon cable. I'd pick a industrial shelf purchase plug so that you use a cable to plug into the body and into the monitor. This is just to prevent a future failure point on that ribbon cable. Currently if it malfunctions, you are stuck, but a cable with plugs, even if you never replace it, if you have to, you can,

    • @andrewnibbi

    This is a very interesting mod! I always thought the best way to resolve the battery issue without changing the pocket format (which I love) would be to do something similar to the Canon C70, having an external battery mount to at least have a giant NPF battery to juice up the camera, so I guess this is the closest I’ve seen to why I imagined

    This really solves so many issues and I love that. My biggest issue is screen replacements, I've never had any luck getting my bmpcc4K screen repaired after it delaminated through no damage I did to the point only some parts of the screen are touch-capable. I'd kill to just find a replacement screen so I can start using this camera again. BlackMagic was no real help.

  • @PatrickKaplin
    @PatrickKaplin 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +9

    Really interesting mod effort! I'd say the following shortcomings would need to be addressed though.
    -Monitor doesn't seem to be able to swivel left and right.
    -Ribbon cable seems susceptible to damage in the long run
    -Hole where ribbon cable exits the body on the top is just waiting for dust/ water ingress to damage the camera's internals.
    I think making the monitor completely removable by adding ports to the body would address most of people's issues with this mod.
    Best of luck!

    D&O Lighting used to sell a v-mount brick that lets you plug it into a wall. It was basically a power adapter that fits into a v-mount battery plate. I don’t know if they still sell it, but if they do you could use it to power your cameras from wall power. That’s what I do.

      It was the F&V V-Mount AC Power Adapter that I got. I remembers this because I ordered a 2nd one for my b camera yesterday. The lemo power port on my bmpcc 4k cameras tend to break a lot so I needed to use these and a v-mount plate if I wanted to run my cameras on wall power.

  • @stopframemedia
    @stopframemedia 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    For Blackmagic Design specifically, I wish there was an option to just replace the BMPCC 4K's monitor with a brighter one and have it articulate. If they did a 4K version of the 6K G2 and make it a little cheaper, that would sell like crazy. Not everyone needs 6K resolution.
    As far as modding goes. For the BMPCC 4K users I have an option of a brighter screen. For all the pocket line and the newer full frame one, I would do an option for the mod kit to include a removable cable connection for the screen instead of the ribbon. This way you can place the screen anywhere on a cage via cold shoe or nato maybe. This way if users want handles, mics, rods with lens supports and matte boxes, etc. they can do that. One last mod I would add is direct storage support like the Sandisk Professional PRO-BLADE SSD.
    I wish I had the equipment to make my own modded version.

    When seeing this mod, the first thing I thought of is a removable, modular monitor for a future iteration of this camera, with a specific place to mount on the body, with of course a mount that is a part of the internal frame to the camera, to make it strong and rigid. Have the monitor on a swivel and hinge type of mounting arm. So that the monitor can rotate 180 degrees and also angle freely. This would give you almost unlimited control where you could view the monitor well, while working.
    While I think this mod has a lot of promise, one thing I am not keen on, is filing down part of the housing to make a permanent change. To the camera housing case. Even being small, it still allows for an opening into the camera where, dirt, dust and debris can enter, thereby causing other unforeseen issues down the road. Especially in dirty filming environments.
    I think the mod idea I have would be perfect with this V Mount location. There is definitely some ideas percolating in my mind how this camera would be the ultimate camera…. It is great in many areas. And with a few mods for these things, it would be revolutionary. 🤷‍♂️

    I am just at the start of the video, and I am stopping to second everything you are saying about the screen and the OS, the OS is first rate, and the fact that they haven't yet figure out that the screen should be on top of the camera is mind boggling. The screen at the back does not work, it's really bad, it hurts you when shooting in so many ways and yet they just refuse to evolve this camera. You are just making my blood boil, because I love the image out of these cameras, it's unbeatable, at the price but you have to put up with a horrendous body design.

    The Tilta mod is still a better solution for gimbal duty, which is where the Pockets shine. You can use any ol' cinema camera for tripod duty in controlled light. I would use the P6k G2 or P6k Pro, but imo run-and-gun really needs a good zoom lens and the EF mount has limited options for a mid-range zoom for Super 35. And of course choosing Super 35 or full-frame over MFT means you're losing light. Thanks for the video!

    @sergiomartinez5946 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    While at first I was excited for this, I quickly realized that it's not viable for several reasons:
    1.The power connector is disabled. If I do an indoor interview shoot it's nice to not have to use batteries. This is also removes other power options, and if you have the 4K, using the Canon batteries isn't really a good one.
    2.It's limited on the vmount batteries you can use. You can only use smaller ones because something bigger would block the buttons. And going back to point 1, since the power input is disabled, that means I can't use a bigger vmount to connect to it if I so desired.
    3.The ribbon cable poking out is asking to be broken. A handle with a hot-shoe or pin connectors would have been better.
    4.No cage. I love these cameras and I love rigging them. I can't mount a follow focus on this because I can't put a cage, no more handles, accessories, etc. I can't even mount a wireless monitoring system if I need to. They said they wanted to build this so you wouldn't need a cage, however cages are useful. What about using rails, or baseplates and the like?
    All in all, I hope this does wake Blackmagic up and they come out with a new body and new system instead of just releasing the same body with "new" features. It's sad that people have to resort to modding their cameras in such a way.

    I do use the large V-mounts with mine but I had bought a V-mount belt clip that Small Rig makes and 2 pin to D-tap cable. It is a little tricky sometimes if you are using a gimbal. I have to rig something similar when I use the Tilta Float, but then I have two V-mounts at the bottom for balance and power. Something that would be really great is if BMD could make the functions compatible with the Ronin so you could use one of the buttons on the Ronin to start record on the camera. If there is a way, I've never been able to get it to work and always have to do it manually or through the app on Ipad. I agree, the screen can be pretty useless but for the functions

    Really glad I came across this video and your channel, but I have to say the the way it limits rigging is a big deal for filmmakers like myself where I go from shoots for commercial/social media to narrative features and shorts. for example it doesn't seem like you guys need a top handle for much, but I use it for specific hand held shots, connecting to an easy rig, mounting wireless transmitters etc. This mod looks perfect for content creators, hobbyists, documentaries, but not for commercial and narrative work. BUT maybe there is a different way to rig with this mod that would work for commercial/narrative work. Would love to see you and maybe someone you guys know do a field test with this mod to see how this can be used in all different types of shoots/setups

      Yeah, not having a top handle is a big deal to me too for the reasons mentioned. Plus, bending that ribbon cable back and forth scares me. I've been using a PortKeys LH5P (which costs $100 more than this mod) which gives you touch control over a lot more features - even switching from ProRes to BRAW etc. and I mount it to a Smallrig EVF arm attached to my top handle.
      This is a super cool design - in an ideal fantasy world it would be great if Blackmagic made a monitor that could be relocated wherever, and connected with a proprietary cable, with replacement cables widely available. Or maybe something like RED's system with contacts.

  • @dandobi

    Great idea here but it’s a little too late and the compromises don’t outweigh modern solutions.
    Dealbreakers:
    1. Disabling wall power. 90% of my shoots with the pockets are in controlled studios, interviews or commercials where power is plentiful. V mounts are cool but wall power is a must to both keep the camera going and charge the battery.
    2. No good way to travel/store the camera without risking the monitor getting beat up.
    3. Eliminating a top handle solution.
    Man, I really wanted to like this thing but a cage and a cheap monitor sounds like it’s the way to go… (or the titla route)
    Fantastic video never the less. Love this format and presentation. Subbed! ✌🏼

For example an npf plate with a cold shoe quick release is a very viable option. It will give almost the same juice as this micro v-mounts. They are smaller and way cheaper than v-mounts. Also when you use the camera on a gimbal you can mount the plate in the gimbal itself and use just a small lemo cable extension. One battery gives you around 3 hours non stop recording so with 2,3 batteries you are set for the day.

    Was really hoping that the new 6K FF would come as a block camera style with an external monitor with lemo or similar connection. That (and an SDI) would have made the 6K FF a perfect camera. Glad people are trying out mods like this, but seriously BMD should have done this ages ago.

  • @hartosiahaan1868

    One of the solution to the battery is to run dummy battery straight from the vmount. So the charging power wouldn't be touched and can charge the camera forever.

    This is great! Maybe I missed this, but how to you put it all away when you're done using the camera? Does the screen always protrude from the top even when folded? Or does it separate from the body for easy storage?

    Very cool but may be a little too late? I don't know. We'll see how successful the kickstarter is. We have four Pocket 4K's we have already figured out all of our workarounds for battery (NPF battery in a side handle that holds the SSD from Tilta). To drop another $300 on these pocket cameras as they get older doesn't really make sense to me. But best of luck to this project.

    • @commongliff
      @commongliff 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      This is super late for sure. Sadly for the 6k community the pocket 6k G2 solves this problem of the articulating screen. At 1595 on bh right now there is hardly any reason to go eBay hunting for a 1200 dollar G1 to spend 300 modding just to loose AC adapter and cage compatibility.

    I don't understand why BM won't make a box pocket... I've already given up buying a pocket pocket twice, I tried it with their original tilting screen, it still didn't make sense. I really like the files from it, but ergonomics are also important,
    Great design, although I would prefer to be able to attach a different screen hinge.

  • @captureinsidethesound
    @captureinsidethesound 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The design is practical for the most part, but the battery situation can only be better by doing it the same way they do cell phones. For instance, at least %50 of the fabrication and design of an iPhone is the battery. Blackmagic would need to integrate the battery to be half the design in which is possible but adds weight and fabrication cost.
    Personally, I use a Bauer 8aH battery + inverter with USB power and 120V 150W AC outlet, and it powers everything. (These batteries are designed for power tools - very durable). Also, the 120V outlet and USB ports can be used at the same time. Yes, these inverters exist and are not expensive at Harbor Frieght. Get them before the price hikes.

    I'm tempted to buy in, really. But the issue around V-mount bugs me - I use Gold mount for all of my kit. Seeing as the shape of the plate isn't standard (I might be wrong), I am concerned that I just won't be able to use my batteries with it. Would be nice to have some sort of clarification about this!

    • @buddyfx7026

      yea gold mount is standard but harder to find. It's a better locking solution overall though, v mount is just more popular. I have all v moutns, honestly wish I had all gold mounts. whoops! lol I bet if it goes well, they'll offer a gold plate option. I'd check their page.

    Gah! It is so close to being perfect!
    - I still really want/need the top handle, there has got to be a way to mod it a bit more to allow screen to go on the top
    - is there a way to do plug and play ribbon cable to remove the monitor or make it longer?
    - the hole where the ribbon comes out, is there a foam or soemthing that can be put to fill that in to stop dust or moisture form getting in?

  • @extraordinary_ordinary

    That monitor ribbon cable is just screaming "future problem".

  • @niallyc8282
    @niallyc8282 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I can see that ribbon cable being a point of failure down the line. For me rigging the camera out with cage, rails, follow focus, full size V-lock, monitor and top handle adds much needed weight to take the jitter out of shooting handheld. Not to mention a top handle gives an attachment point for an easy rig. I think voiding your warranty and adding a point of failure (ribbon cable) just to avoid having to tilt a v-lock plate while you change settings isn’t worth it.

  • @MaximoZhang
    @MaximoZhang 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I think this is a great design for traveling, but I cant really see myself using it over my current 6k setup. I prefer the top handle with a monitor and I'd be too worried of accidentally busting the main monitor with it exposed like that. The main pressure points I want them to focus on are making a full frame version, with internal NDs, and a cube configuration. I know thats asking for pretty much everything, but I do a wide variety of work and being able to shoot wider for clients that want social content would make my life so much easier. Also, if it was a cube configuration, you could actually mount the camera vertically on a tripod, very tough with the current configuration. Great video overall and it's good to know there are people trying to fix the 6k current issues.

    If they were going the extra mile to replace the rear element, design a monitor w/ new housing etc etc.. it’s entirely possible to just redesign the camera into a more ‘brain’ like body such as the komodo, alexa mini. This would reposition all the camera buttons so that they could be on the sides on the camera or at the top, out of the way of the battery plate. Also adding more surf area for rigging.

  • @brown2840
    @brown2840 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Camera is best in a cage, with top handle. V mount options are easy to come by on a rail system and throw your monitor on top. This is cool, but I think a tad late to the party. We all have our solutions now.

  • @AdamLangdon
    @AdamLangdon 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I don’t mind the current Pocket 6k Pro design. I’ve accepted it for what it is and I’ve used it for hundreds of hours. The battery life is something you learn to work with, and the screen is bright enough in direct sunlight that I never run an extra monitor. The form factor has saved my butt in environments where discreetness is a must. I’m gonna keep my P6kPro for a while.

    This is almost like a combination of a Pocket camera and an Ursa. Genius solution and fixes basically all the issues that I have with the Pocket cameras. Blackmagic should really just make an official version that is similar to this already. The fact that you can only get around 1 hr. of battery life even on their latest full frame camera is just absurd.

    I think that it would be not hard to make removable monitor so that you can add kage as well. Just add right plug to the monitor kage and a plug to the camera and you are good to go.

  • @ShortStoryInspiration
    @ShortStoryInspiration 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Great idea but no top handle no party. To be able to relocate the monitor just slightly he should have used a normal thin cable, so you can also fold it back when the vmount is not thee. Also he should have put a nato rail or a sort of cheeseplate instead of that single 1/4-20 to move that monitor or add a top handle/accessories, that's a dealbreaker. Good for a very very basic use
