- BMPCC 6K PRO one year later. It's hard for me to believe I've had the Blackmagic pocket cinema camera for over a year now. In that time I've learned a few things about this cinema camera that may be helpful to other people. Some of them are annoying and some of them are fantastic.

shirt changes deserves thousands of views alone hahaha great video, congrats!
Thanks, mate. And I hope you're right about the views.
This man owns more shirts than I've had in my entire life 😂
This is the best long term "review" sort of video I have ever seen. Excellent work.
Wow, thanks! That's very kind of you to say.
As someone who works with plastics often (3D printing and boutique keyboard design) Carbon Fiber Polycarbonate strikes me as a very nice choice for a lightweight but strong plastic. For longer than I've been alive we've used Glass Fiber Reinforced Nylon in power tools because its cheap and incredibly durable, the plastic used in the Pocket is just an upgrade on that. Polycarb is a bit more impact resistant than nylon, and the Carbon Fiber refers to the support lattice that reinforces the plastic. The downside to polycarbonate compared to nylon is that it scuffs much easier and is actually quite a soft plastic, hence why it is better at surviving impacts.
I'm afraid, to a novice like me, plastic is plastic. The pocket camera plastic feels cheap compared to say the plastic used by Canon or Nikon in their DSLR bodies. This must be the softness you are talking about. However, if it survives impacts better, then Blackmagic have probably made the right choice. Thanks for the info.
I saw a video yesterday with a cinematographer, who had a BMPCC4K attached to a car with suction cups. It fell off at a speed of 40 mph, and survived without any issues.
Simple and straight to the point. No filler, just the way I like it. Great job on the video man, much appreciated !
Thank you. And thanks for watching.
A) How long did it take you to shoot this? 2) How many shirts do you own? C) Did you have each shirt laid out in order of take? 4) Have you consider downsizing your wardrobe so you can make videos faster? E) Nice camera 6) Great review of all you learned G) Would you recommend this over the new G2? 8) Would you recommend this for pure phot shooters or pure video shooters? I) Thanks for the different video take.
Thanks, Danny. If I can remember, the talking head part took a day to film. I broke it down into blocks of "10 tips" and got just the shirts together for that block. I had a little rest between each block because it's surprisingly tiring changing your shirt that many times.
I have no idea how many shirts I have but it's less than 52 which is why some of the shirts repeat (i don't know if anyone has spotted this yet)
I will be down sizing my wardrobe but it won't help me make videos faster because the slowest part is the writing of the script - I really want to be able to make videos faster, though. That's my current goal for TH-cam.
If the screen on the back of the G2 is the same brightness as the PRO I'd probably say the G2 is a better deal - but internal NDs are very nice! I wouldn't recommend it for just photo's, there are better cameras out there for that.
Literally the comprehensive review we all wanted and deserved. Thank you!
Haha, My pleasure!
Agreed. Fantastic.
Thank you for getting right to the point without doing a bunch of lengthy intros and thank you for not playing music underneath the talking. I recently bailed on the fk in favor of the Nikon z6. I got tired of working around the camera’s quirks. Glad the 6k is working for you.
No problem! It's all about finding a camera that works for you.
@@ChristopherMichaelLaw Yes thank you for no background music.
Thanks for that absolutely excellent video. I'm thinking to get one and your video came along at the perfect time. A fellow photographer from the UK.
Thank you for the great experience review.
About the rolling shutter. Turn the camera 90 degrees and the problem is solved if you can crop enough in.
haha, thank you for watching.
This is a great video., The kos informative I've seen and ive seen a few. Thank you for making this
No problem. Thank you for watching it!
Brilliant. Super useful information here.
To dedicate that level to costume changes, my hat is off to you sir!
Excellent breakdown of the 6K Pro here Christopher. I've been a Panasonic owner/Operator for the last couple of years but I've had a few projects where I've Blackmagic 6K Pro footage to edit into a project.
The image is always fantastic but it's a lot of the ergonomics that let these cameras down.
Thanks for posting, consider me subscribed 🙂
Yeah, the ergonomics are a bit annoying but they are obviously pitching these cameras towards the DSLR crowd and from a sales point of view it's been working. I would love to see a BlackMagic box camera at some point, that we can rig up how we want and not have to struggle around the strange shape.
Thanks for the sub!
@@ChristopherMichaelLaw I think a box camera is almost inevitable from Blackmagic now.
What are your primary lenses for shooting with the 6K Pro?
@Random Thought Can't argue with you there. Blackmagic RAW is a beautiful codec and the colours are wonderful
Great content, keep these videos coming!
Thanks, mate. I'll try.
LOVE THIS! thanks man.
You’re welcome, mate.
I’ll give it a miss because I’ve haven’t got He Man arms like you 😆 Excellent and very balanced overview from someone who’s actually used it and a great bit of kit that’s probably untouchable for its price range 👍 Cheers, Dave.
Cheers, mate. I totally agree about it being value for money.
Good job. Thanks for your work!
Thanks for watching!
Amazing guide! I was looking for the image of the back of the monitor just to see the ribbon because that was a concern of mine but I couldn't find it anywhere. thanks for that!
No worries. Glad I could help!
Big-hearted man who is not afraid to change clothes constantly
Great video! I'm a full time freelance videographer and use both Canon and Blackmagic. Earlier today I was filming with the BMPCC 6k Pro and the power adapter into the camera broke off when I unplugged it. This is indicative of my frustration with the Blackmagic cameras. They are incredible value for money, yet there are many small aspects like a robust power supply that is making me move more toward Canon. I just picked up my second Canon C70, and for me the main advantages over the Blackmagic are autofocus, ergonomics, waveform, dynamic range, Clog 2 editing workflow, programmable buttons, ports are easy to access, many useful buttons, works with aps-c and rf lenses while also providing full-frame functionality with 0.71 adapter. For me, the workflow and robust quality of the C70 make it feel like a worthy investment for professional environments, yet I appreciate that Blackmagic is able to offer such amazing image quality at such affordable prices.
Sorry to hear about your camera. One of the ways Blackmagic cuts costs is in the area of build quality, for sure. The touch screen on my 4K stopped working after about 12 months. To be fair to Blackmagic they had it fixed in about four days at no cost to me and the cost cutting on build quality is passed on to the customer. It's probably the only way to get such a powerful camera down in price.
About the c70. What do you think of the flip screen on it, i've seen a few reviews saying it's very cheap feeling and some have snapped off? It's definitely a camera that interests me because I have a lot of canon glass.
@@ChristopherMichaelLaw The flip screen feels about the same as any DSLR flip screen, yet I agree that it feels flimsy when compared to how robust the rest of the camera feels. The screen itself feels sturdy, it's just the joint, yet I've heard if you have a problem with it and send it to Canon, they will reinforce the joint with metal.
I also agree that after using the Blackmagic touch screen, all other menu systems feel archaic. However, without a lot of corresponding buttons (and the 3 custom buttons does not let me map nearly as much as I'd like on the Blackmagic), I find that I can build a much better muscle-memory based workflow on the C70.
For multi-cam live concert/performances, I think Blackmagic with ATEM camera control is the perfect system. Yet I'm primarily a wedding videographer, and the workflow advantages of the C70 for constantly changing environments make it worth it to me.
Yeh, I totally agree that for wedding work or anything where you need to be quick and nimble the C70 makes way more sense. The Blackmagic's need a slower more considered approach to get the best out of them. The C70 is on my want list of cameras... but it's a very long list
@Random Thought Funny how roles change. Blackmagic is the company pushing the IQ/cost ratio this year, but I think a case can be made that the Canon 5D mark ii was the product that created the market that the BMPCC serves now.
I ended up buying a 2 pin connector to a barrel connector and I never remove the power cable, I leave it permanently in unless im shipping. just run a DTAP from the Vmount to the barrel connector. its a wonderful workaround
Excellent assessment. Thank you Christopher. One questions though; have you ever experienced any low frequency noise from the K6 Pro 'exhaust'/cooling on your audio tracks when using a cold-shoe mounted microphone ?
No... but it's very rare that I'll use a cold-shoe mounted mic, I'll normally boom it or something similar. So, I can't really give an accurate answer I'm afraid.
Excellent guide, fashion choices, and the use of NO music.
I’m super surprised how many people are happy the video has no background music. I’m not complaining, searching for music takes forever.
My o My, I was not prepared for the secret tip in this video regarding dropped frames that gets resolved when you format the card twice. I have wondered why sometimes I get dropped frames for no reason intermittently. I will try the double-reformatting and see if that resolves my issues too. Apart from that, I agree with most of your points from personal experience
I hope it works for you.
Hi Christopher, Great video (god amount of views!), with good feedback. Nice to hear a colleague's points of view. My settings don't disappear even if I remove the battery! As you know the camera doesn't have IBIS, so it depends, as you said, on the type of lens you use. Some, as you probably know, have stabilization, however, if you use a wide lens the handheld movements will be very soft. For example, I use only cinema lenses (Samyang) and when I work with the 14mm I can walk and it looks great! THe best solution for power for this camera is the Anton Bauer Tilton plate battery!!! Thanks, man
Thanks mate, glad you liked it. I'm not a big fan of having the battery under the camera. I think it would get in the way of how I like to work. The Anton Bauer plate has a good number of connections so maybe I can mount it at the back like a v-mount and then I'd have the option to use it under the camera if I ever felt the need to. Good news! My camera now holds the setting, maybe something happened in a firmware update, who knows.
Excellent job. Just waiting for mine to be delivered.
Thanks. I’m excited for you.
@@ChristopherMichaelLaw Current camera is the original BMCC I’ve used from 2013!
Very helpful thanks. And that's 52 shirts and tops too.
No problem.
I took the port covers off! Glorious improvement!!!!!
I'm too worried about dust getting in there, to do that.
@@ChristopherMichaelLaw I've been in IT for a number of years between my Film making endeavors and I've seen some real connector nightmares on equipment being deployed under a dusty, filthy desk. Outside of big dust clogs, the connectors for the most part worked.
Having said that, I have my lens bellows in the kit and I never store my cam under a filthy, sinister desk!! I also put a piece of blue masking tape on unused connectors while shooting outdoors. ...and the covers can be screwed back on.
Those damn covers made a certain body part pucker because they always got in the way when plugging in the cables. I feared busting a connector loose and it was horribly frustrating at times.
Try it, you'll like it!!
Cheers v2.0!
@@gssg2010 You're talking me into it. I'll probably give it a go. I like the masking tape idea.
Great stuff!
Glad you enjoyed it
amazing video loved it!!
Thank you!!
for best rolling shutter fix is shooting wide and using gyro data to fix
Great points my brother
Much appreciated
OH, nice idea to change your top for every number, haha! Happy to be part of your gang!
Welcome aboard!
Great video. Thanks a lot
Glad you liked it!
great video... i love this camera
greetings from Brazil
Muito obrigado, Silvio. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Absolutely love my 6KPro. I STILL use my FS700 because damn, that slow mo, but this chunky 6KPro isn’t that bad against a FS700R.
Yes, that slowmo is nice.
I love the shirt changes 🤣
Thanks
You can simply pull out ther port covers. If you need to return the camera or sell, you can snap them back in, by design. I bought 6K initially before I've upgraded to 6K Pro, I did that with the 6K camera, removed the port covers completely, then inserted them back before returning the camera and geting 6K Pro. Zero problems, port covers are in the camera box. In fact I bought this one used at B&H and I'm still thinking about switching to Sigma fp, so in case I decide to do that, port covers will go back in.
Yeah, a few people have said this and I’ll probably do it, but I am worried I’ll get dirt in there when shooting outdoors.
Started shooting with the 4K about 3 years ago and then when the 6K pro came out I upgraded to that as well. Yes, the camera has many limitations but once you rig it out and find a way to use it that works for you you quickly forget about all those limitations because that image is just so damn good.
Yes. Image is King. For some people the work arounds are worth it.
@@ChristopherMichaelLaw Of course, because what's the alternative? Cameras whose BASE unit costs $5k or more. So these ARE still the best at their price.
Hi Christopher! Great Video. Could I ask you what power solution you are using with your 6k pro? I thought the battery plate for Sony batteries don't work with the 6k Pro as it doesn't deliver enough power? Thanks!!
I use a battery plate with a 12v out. It works fine for me. Never had a problem.
Number 20 made me laugh out loud. - Amazing video, love your shirts.
Cheers mate. I can’t remember what number 20 was but I’m sure it was hysterical.
Great review!
Thanks!
Nice play on the shirts. I’ve been thinking about purchasing this camera for like 2.5 years!
How, it only came out a year ago?
@@ChristopherMichaelLaw Apologies, I’ve been thinking about purchasing A Blackmagic camera. This particular one for about a year now…
@@BlueNoteGaming_ Ah, no problem. I understand now 👍
the fact you changed 50x im giving a thumbs up
haha, thanks mate
I seriously can’t wait to get this camera
I think you'll enjoy it.
6:55 I've had this camera for about 2 weeks now... And I honestly didn't even notice that that button on the front even was there until you mentioned it :^)
Haha... next you'll be saying you don't know about the switch inside the battery compartment that gives you 5 stops more dynamic range!
@@ChristopherMichaelLaw What!? no way!? I thought that switch only upgraded the sensor to an 8K full-frame sensor!?
@@FinlayDaG33k 🤣
one of my biggest gripe is no remote cable. triggering the record is a PITA. I can use the BM remote but for an actual button I can put on the handle its the worst. ended up just using the nano focus wheel tied into the bluetooth but still.
You went all out on the wardrobe budget I see!
I should have reached out to a clothing brand for a sponsorship
Good video and clever changing your shirts for every point. I had the 6K and loved it but since I was mainly a one man band, I sold it and picked up the Sony FX3 and never looked back. I miss everything about the P6K but the AF on the FX3 is a dream and not having to over rig it for simple shoots. I hope the next Pocket is actually pocket and a square shape or smaller foot print and has some kind of AF like the Komodo at least. But when you are a single shooter, it was just a pain for me. IF you are doing Big films or have more time to focus and doing more set up shots. the P6K is amazing. Hope your channel grows. I was ALWAYS worried about my shot's being in focus and it eventually was too stressful, for me. Not worrying about focusing totally changed my way of filming and made me enjoy my work more even though the P6K has a "better" imagine. But most will not see the difference when posting on TH-cam or Social networks.
I totally agree with everything you said. It's about finding the right camera for the job but also the right camera for you and the way you work. All cameras have pros and cons
Agreed, it’s really not something meant for run and gun shooting like every cinema cameras it’s meant for cinematography which requires a pretty extensive set up.
Thats funny, i did the opposite
Sold my fx3 to get the bmpcc6k pro for run and gun events/commercials
Yes i agree with you 💯 that it is way easier with the fx3 to just pick it up and shoot
But man… i am way more excited to shoot with this black magic, the image quality in my opinion is way more filmic. Colors pop, highlight rolloff is better, just looks smooth
I think having a rig with the base plate, focus wheel, handle and battery is enough for a run and gun event.
@@TimandLauren Glad for you, Yes the image is amazing, but not worth all the hassle. Hope they make a square type body soon. Thanks for your opinion
Was looking at the pcc4k until I saw this new upgrade on the 6k G2 - I don't know all what I'll need as far as attachments or rigging. I'm mainly doing interviews and business announcement videos. I'll also be doing school informational videos for my kid's private school [so mainly b-roll on the playground and things of that nature]
Total budget is under $4,000 around $3,500. When I was reading on the 4k everyone said you have to go metabones speed booster but then that puts that camera just under the 6k price. But I was battling Rokinon mft prime cine lense bundle and no metabones but also looking at the sigma 18-35mm. I'll try to do much on a tripod but nervous when I do the slow mo on handheld with no image stabilizer with those lenses or the camera. I read BM's update on raw and correcting stabilization in Davinci but that's all new to me only. I've only used Premiere...
Would love some feedback of what you think.
Hi David, you don't need to use a Metabones. Many people use MFT lenses and get great results. I like it because it lets me use the canon lenses that I already have and I can use them to their full potential.
If I was you, I'd probably go with the 6K G2 as you need to rig it out less - with it having a flip screen. The only problem might be that 6K generates a lot of data. I have no idea what computer you have, etc...
Best thing to do would be download Davinci resolve, see if you can download some 6K footage, and have a play around with it.
Both cameras are very good, though. So there's no right or wrong answer really.
I have owned the 4K for about two years now and just bought the 6K G2 a few days ago. So far, it's nice, but that tint setting throws me off. lol
Format the cards twice to avoid dropping frames… got it!
Not everyone as 52 nice shirts to wear on on video. I comment you for not letting that hold you back. Great info thank you.
Haha, you just have to go for it. Nice shirts or not.
This is the best reviewer ever
😆
great video
#12 the new "gyro" stab in resolve removes almost all rolling shutter. discovered this by accident and I have no idea why more people arent talking about this. you cant use a speed booster or an IS lens, MUST shoot BRAW (the metadata is stored in BRAW), the camera needs the exact focal length (most primes feed this automatically). if you use a zoom, manually input the focal length youre using. obviously no gimble. I almost fell out of my chair, because RS is my biggest problem with my 6kpro. even if you dont dial the "gyro" amount to full in resolve it still pulls almost all RS out. its insane. Shoot with a high shutter speed to eliminate MB artifacts, and put MB back in fusion with optical flow and a vector MB node and youre in business.
Now I know it's not deja vu ;)
@@ChristopherMichaelLaw trying to spread the love
@@ChristopherMichaelLaw oh wait ha ha yeah that WAS you!! LMAO! I thought you were a different dude..
Nice summary. Didn't YT do a lovely job of preserving the smooth gradation of the wall behind you :/
I can't watch the videos back on YT for this very reason.
I love my 6KPro!!
Cool
Thank you. So is the S1H a better deal? In body image stabilisation, fully articulating screen, weather sealed, shoots BRAW externally...
Well, that would be very hard to say. Only you can really decide if it’s a better deal. It’s more expensive, you need to buy a recorder to get Raw video. It can only do 6k at 30p. It doesn’t have ND filters. There are pros and cons to both. What’s important to you might not be to me and vice versa.
@@ChristopherMichaelLaw Thank you. What are recording options with or without crop on 6K Pro? Also, I do a lot of handheld filming in situations where I cannot rig the camera.
i love your humor :)) nice
Thanks! 😃
wow thanks!☺
Great review !!! Subbed
Thanks for the sub!

Thanks friend : )
Would like to hear opinion on the new software and the gyro data when you give them a try. One shirt would do for that video!
Yeah, they both seem very interesting. Looking forward to trying them out.
I left a comment on it, I wont re type the whole thing back out (you can go read it) but oddly not very many people talk about the greatest strength of it, and its that it removes most if not all of rolling shutter issues. its been a godsend.
@Christopher Michael Law - Funny character and nice delivery! Good information. I love my 6K Pro. As opposed to NP or V-mount I am currently trying out a 65W PD Power bank for power delivery ATM however, not out in the real world yet which seems to work great messing about at home. Keep up the good work!!
Thanks, mate. Appreciate your comment. Out of interest, how long are you getting out of your power bank?
@@ChristopherMichaelLaw I'll will let you know as I just got the setup and need to clean cards and SSD to fully test.

@@LeonMais Ah, okay. So it's in the same ball park as what you might get from a V-mount battery.
They've just added gyro stabalisation - Im not sure if its to all their models or just to the new 6K G2
It's part of the new update which is for all of themIt's for all of them.
12:18 #51: Sounds like a relay is clicking. Different resolutions probably require different amounts of power. That's just a very wild guess though
it makes sense, so you might well be on to something.
Your particular camera unit has some strange, amusing quirks that I have not encountered on mine, like the flickering screen when changing resolution or needing to format my card twice. I use an AngelBird 1TB cFast though so maybe that's why. And I shoot at full 6K 3:1/Q0 every time with no problem.
The formatting is probably something to do with the card, like you said. I'm using Sony ones. Although I don't have this problem on the BMPCC 4K with the same cards. I format twice now through habit, so maybe the new update has fixed this problem. The changing codec/resolution screen blackout, plus mechanical click, is strange. Maybe different batches of the camera have different components.
I don't have the pro but I do have the regular bmpc6k.. I have an Angelbird 1TB cfast as well and I still have issues of it stopping recording for no reason at times. Through research I'm thinking either because I was told to choose "constant quality" instead of "constant bitrate" OR maybe I need to format my card twice like you mentioned. What's ya'lls thoughts on this? thank you!
@@luke_o_lenses Well, it's easy enough to test if formatting twice helps. Is it stopping when there is a lot of movement happening in frame?
@@ChristopherMichaelLaw there’s really no method to the madness when it stops recording. I also think there’s a “don’t stop recording if drop frames” setting I heard about im going to look into. But back to formatting card twice, do you have to format it twice before every shoot or only once did the trick for you? Thanks for the help!
I've taken the port covers off all of my pocket cams. You just pull them and they pop out. It's possible to re-attach later if you need.
It’s probably a good idea but I get frightened dust and grit will find its way in there.
I subscribed because of the cloth switch 👍👍
Thanks man!
There might have been a time I would have considered selling off my PCC4K and 6K Pro, but after the firmware update that added gyro stabilization in post dropped, those days have long past.
Yeah, that's one of the best things about Blackmagic Design - the continued updates.
Battery life isn't the best still, but you might consider upgrading your batteries to the 3500ah versions sold by bmd if you don't have any. The one you inserted in b-roll looked like the older 2600ah versions by sony. Gives me about an hour of battery life at 6k 2.4:1 in q3 braw, and 2.5h with the battery grip fully loaded.
Thanks mate. I do have some BM 3500ah batteries, I just grabbed an older one of my shelf to use as a prop. Should have probably used a BM one but that’s hindsight for ya.
@@ChristopherMichaelLaw I honestly wouldn’t have thought of it either. Cheers! Great vid.
so many advantages with the bcpcc camera's, but can't decide if it's easy to film yourself as well as cinematic content.
I would say it's one of the harder cameras to film yourself with.
@@ChristopherMichaelLaw that's what I thought. That internal BRAW though, makes things very tempting.
21 - Se tiver um monitor externo, para vlog/youtube o botão de rec frontal é de grande ajuda ;
I have an external monitor and use the camera for youtube, still find it easier to use the man record button. But everyone is different.
there is actually 4 different ways to record on the camera and one combination lets you record to the SD card on the Blackmagic video assist and any media you use on the camera
But you can't record 6K or even 4K over the HDMI. You'd have to use the BM video assist for a 1080p proxy.

Maybe but gen 5 is available on all the pocket cameras, so I’m not sure. I should really test it one day.
@@ChristopherMichaelLaw True, I was assuming the older version you're talking about might have had the older update. I would be interested in seeing that test between the two cameras, maybe has some effect because of the different sensor sizes then? Thanks for the video! Very helpful! I'm so glad to know that 1080 doesn't window.
@@marshpw I believe it has something to do with down scaling the 6K to 4K, either in a timeline or in the camera, when using ProRes. This can give the impression that the 6K has more dynamic range. At least that's what I have heard, don't know if it's true. 1080 doesn't window, but only in ProRes. You can't do 1080 in RAW. 👍
@@ChristopherMichaelLaw Ah, that makes sense! Great info!
13 stops of dynamic range is not true at all as advertised, I believe its way more than that especially on the pocket 4k
Yeah. Part of the problem is there's no industry standard of dynamic range. I remember seeing a video years ago where an Arri engineer said if they measured dynamic range the same way Sony did then their cameras would have 20 stops. I think he was exaggerating for comic effect but you get his point.
hahah that shirt changes :))
Glad you liked 'em
If you can’t trust the false colour, use the waveform or histogram, if they both indicate that your blacks are crushed, then your computer or your monitor is inaccurate.
Classic British humor… nice 😂👍🏼

Well thank you.. sounds like a lot of got damn issues with this jawn and it ain’t worth it for the money! Batter life is a bummer certainly
All cameras have issues - it's all about whether you can live with them or work around them.
just take the port covers off, its easy and non destructive
You're probably right but I worry about dust and stuff.
