- OUR 100TH VIDEO!
For this special occasion, I wanted to explore how someone on a really tight budget could make the BMPCC4K work for them. This is for those of you who really want to get some experience with a cinema-style camera, but just don't have the budget to buy all the stuff everyone tells you you need to buy for this camera. You don't need a cage, you don't need fancy cine lenses or any of that. So we talk about the bare minimum you need to start using this camera and how to best go about doing it for under $1700.

THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR MAKING 100 VIDEOS POSSIBLE! This video is dedicated to those who are getting started with this camera on a minimal budget as I did over 3 years ago! Don't let not having FANCY camera gear hold you back from telling stories, learning how to film, and just getting out there to fail and learn!

Here's to the next 100! 🍻
Has the M42adapter crop correction? FF to MFT is almost a crop factor of 2 to 1. So for a Full Frame nifty fifty mm equivalent you'd have to buy something like an 28mm vintage lens right?
And I can't find the "list below" of vintage lenses you like.
I am still rocking the adaptor with npf 970 batteries today and it is the most cost effective solution for battery power. You can buy 2 of those batteries for like 60$ and everyone last you at least 3/4 hours
I just switched to Cfats 2.0 cards on my 4K and I can't 't tell you how much easier it is now to use. No more struggling with the stupid external drives and the awful mounts that are available. It's so much more pleasant an experience. I say skip the external and invest. You'll thank me for it later.
C-Fast is a great alternative as well! I've used all three of the storage methods available but price wise and how my workflow is, SSD's just work way better for what I do. But no dig on C-Fast at all!
i could not agree more
@@FrameVoyager The best investment for the 4k is the titla screen because not only do you get a far more functional screen but you also get internal SSD so best of both worlds!
@@BrandonTalbot i didn't even knew Titlta screen have internal SSD.
@@JaspreetSinghArtist yup it’s freakin sweet. Well it’s external technically but it still is “inside” the camera
This video speaks to me and is exactly what I needed!
You are so right about the other youtubers and what they tell you you need...
$650 speed booster so I can use the $700 lens... hard pass.
I'm an editor who just needs to be able to film some solid corporate videos. That's it.
Cheers and thanks for the real talk!
You did not mention that with vintage full frame glass, you'd need to look into wide angle lenses to account for 2x crop factor. A sweet spot would be 24mm full frame, which would give one about 50mm focal length on pocket 4K. A good 24-28mm fast vintage lens can be pricey. For the same amount of money one can get a fixed focal length Panasonic Lumix lens in native MFT.
Yay, bmpcc people 🎉🎉🎉 Great video, man, as always. Thanks for all the info. Cheers from Italy
Appreciate it! Been wanting to make this video for a while. Glad I saved it for my 100th! As always, thanks for watching!
Using c mount Cctv lenses could be a good option. Theyre usually fast and do cover m43 sensors.
I looked into those as well to talk about for this video. And they are a great alternative as well. I just figured M42 might be slightly easier to talk about and point people to than C-Mount but it's a great suggestion as well!
Amen. More people need to see this video. 💪
Appreciate it! As always, dedicated to bringing content and information to filmmakers of all levels and types!
love this video, thank you
For my barebones set up:
Metabones speed booster from my gh4 days. 0.71x
Battery: Core SWX Powerbase Edge LITE Battery
Storage: 2 128 GB sd and a 1tb SSD mounted directly on to the camera with a cellphone adapter and horseshoe mount.
Lens: I cycle between my sigma 18-35, my vintage Nikkor 50mm lens and my 85mm Nikon lens.
Ehhh good video! Congrats on your 100th video man! Vintage lenses is a great suggestion, and you can always find a solid 4K or even 6K on the used market. Don't always have to go new.
Appreciate it! Can't believe I've made 100 videos. Kind of weird haha. And for sure! Nothing wrong with used at all if it's in good condition. Just so many people say you can't use this camera without x,y and z and $1k-$2k. Just isn't true
@@FrameVoyager Exactly! It's not what you have, it's how you use it!
@@VivaMediaInc Always!
beautifully argued...you correct...we need to build our gear as we climb up...this way we also develop a style...of our own...and improve on it...whats nice is having less stuff...forces you to really get creative in your shooting style...and thats what its all about in the end...your style...and your story...wow i actually said that ? nice..i am growing well in this content world...thank you...
Good stuff
Appreciate it!.
And if you're just learning, you don't even need the external battery or the t5 SSD; get those after the lens and sd card.
Absolutely! I just through those in there as options. You can only spend around $117 after the camera purchase and have everything you need to start filming
Hey Great video,
I totally agree with you,about vintage lens but actually you could go the TT artisan MFT lens way as well...specially the 50mm F1.2 is nice.
About vintage totally agree RD mount for example...radioactive or not I have 1 Gen Vivitar pump f3.5 70-210 and it is fantastic almost parfocal on Viltrox Fmount speed booster.
Actually great speed booster for the price 70$...no need for metabones in the begining and the Vivitar was in pristine condition...if you find some first gen 50 years old with 2* teleconverter like me if the glass is good take it...this pump system that you focus and zoom with the same gear is great for filming handheld with little practice I don't know why they abondonned the design it is mega fast to focus and zoom in the same time...
For sure! For me I have had the most experience with M42 lenses so figured I'd go that route for this video but you're right! So many vintage lens routes you could go!
@@FrameVoyager and I purchase used BMPCC4K for 700$ wich IS an insane Price for thé quality 😁😁😁😁
Thanks for the video … has anything changed since making this video? Other than Ssd’s of course .. I’m ready to step into 4k video, and you’ve helped me committing moving forward … :)
Just bought this today with the Ak4500_ new to the game: ama learn more
Just curious. Is it practical to use a P4k as a B cam to the 6kp? Or, is it better to just use a 6k as a B cam instead?
Hi there, Great content, thanks. I have many questions for you about this camera. I have been using it for some time, but I really am having problems with the noise and with the white balance, it really has a yellow predominance. Hope you read these. Bye
Thanks for this great tips, I live in Amsterdam and now im gonna search for a vintage lense. Btw, dont you think you need something fot stabalising the footage? Like a gimbal or tripod
De ZhiyunWeebill S is wel een goede optie.
@@Alec15 thanks
BTW, the samsung T7 drives also work perfectly for the BMPCC4K camera, and they even fit in the T5 holders.
Initial reports said that the T7 drives didn't work with the P4K, was this addressed later in firmware?
@@raksh9 Honestly, I think even if there was a issue, it was long gone. I have got no issues using the T7 with my p4k since I bought it in 2021.
@@zechenwei1139 Good to know, thank you for that. I've been considering a P4K for some time, but have been concerned about the discontinuation of the T5 drives.
@@raksh9 There was a firmware update and now they work no issues. I have 1 that has given me 0 issues.
@@AhmadAzizov Good to know, thank you for that.
You are a life safer bro I am planning on getting a 4k this week I am just confuse as to where to start with the set up and I am working under a budget. I just subscribed. Does the discord group help newbies like me with hints on camera usage?
Appreciate it! And yes! We do. We have people from beginners to pros in all areas of the camera industry. It's a great place!
@@FrameVoyager please recommend a cheap lens for my 4k thanks
Great info. Some ppl say the look of original bmpcc is exceptional and one can't get the same on bmpcc 4k or 6k even if they shoot 1080p prores 422 HQ. Is that true?
my BMPCC4K bricked after 7.9 update. any suggestions? Blackmagic has known about this update issue for may months apparently and have not done anything to fix it!!!
I thought oh my olympus om 28mm vintage lense would make a nice 56mm equivalent. I looked for an 18mm (32mmFF) cost £1000 hahaha they are so rare lol. Even the contax zeiss 18mm sells on ebay around £600 . But i'm really leaning toward the meike mft cine lenses they look really good and for around £300 that's really good. I've seen lots of really nice footage with them. Minimum focus breathing good build, not oversharp and nice bokeh. Looks good ! Love this video !! I'm a stills photographer really interested moving into making good quality film for 5 years, just can't afford it. The GH6 caught my attention but now i'm looking at the bmpcc4k again (kinda thinking about the 6kpro because i have EF carl zeiss 50mm ze 2.0 and canon 70-200f4ii ) i love all the codec options on the gh6 with no crop really high res. I think i would should mostly 4k anyway 6k probably a bit overkill for me right now but maybe a nice to have. So yeah i'm kind of all up in the air about what to go for . I have to think about what codecs i'll shoot mostly i think it will be mostly 4k 24fps and 60fps .. 120 and 240 fps no crpo in 4k would be nice on the gh6.. but not sure it would be used that much. It's a lot of money, and i am saving up for a macbook pro m1 to handle all the data and processing to add to the cost. : ) Anyway this is really useful ! So thankyou very much .. : )
Also the image that comes from the bmpcc4k in braw obviously looks really great.. the gh6 seems .. close ? I'm still waiting on more reviews that hopefully compare the two. Actually would that be something you are interested in doing ??
I would LOVE to compare the 2. I'm having to wait until one at the rental company is available to do it though!
@@FrameVoyager You know another camera that is floating on my list is the Panasonic S5 .. it's a pretty decent price and the dynamic range looks good it has a clean signal very little noise . We live in a very spoiled age of choice .. it's a pretty good thing for youtubers telling the market how all these wonderful cameras perform hehe .. : )
This was the video that has a dynamic range test between bmpcc 6k and S5 .. maybe you seen it ? it's interesting .. th-cam.com/video/rU4eydFl1hM/w-d-xo.html
Was that a salty UW housing? Side note. I’ve been watching your videos for the last 4 hours no stop.
Yep! If you look back far enough I show it off in a video like 2 years ago 😂 and danggg, that a lot of me talking haha
Love your BMD videos and thinking of buying a 4k. I happen to have a t7 ssd. Do you know if these work? Some say they do and others say they don't.
T7 will work without any issues. I use one.
@@AhmadAzizov oh thanks so much 👍 I have the 4k a month now and didn't think to try the T7. Must give it a go.
I've seen that the T7 Shield is the approved one on the BMD website
Hey man.. you say vintage lens? My dad have lots of vintage lens but the brand is nikon, can still fit on BM camera 4k??? I will check if he have still the fixed lens. Thanks man .
yeah, adapt the lens mount
Some people are worried that radioactive lenses might be bad for the sensor. On a still camera the shutter protects the sensor but on a video camera the radiation exposure increses.
I think I might still have super takumar and a bunch of other vintage lenses. I bought my lenses at the time when it wasn't cool to use these, almost 20 years ago. Later I sold most and even made some profit.
I do regret selling some of the lenses now. I had an almost mint 16mm Zenitar in the original packaging. Although, I tend to think that the buyer probably had more use for it than I had and I wish it has served well.
Yeahhh, I've talked with a lot of people who owned them before I bought one. Actually doing a video on it here soon! Have a hazmat suit and everything lol. But from what I can tell, as long as you don't just leave the lens on your camera for days on end you're totally fine. But it's super interesting isn't it?
@@FrameVoyager Nice! And don't put it under your pillow 🙂
I mean it soooo comfortable tho
You also forget the astronomical price of the SSD holder in this pricing guide.
You mean the $25~ ones? --> amzn.to/35IM5d4
There are a lot of variations you could find as well but it's not too bad
wish i wouldve seen this video sooner
What about vnd?
so YT decided not show this video in my feeds.
huh, that's odd haha. Usually it pushes my P4K content A LOT lol
@@FrameVoyager sometimes your videos pop-up in my feeds sometimes i need to search.
bought one, discovered it can't do 4k over hdmi out, returned it. Went back to the GH5 I was going to sell. Yes, being able to record to nvme over usb-c directly from the camera is amazing and every camera should support that, but if you can only monitor at 1080p, someone should have been fired. Even my Ninja Inferno from 2017 is a 4k hdmi monitor.
Lenses 200 dallaz? MAAAAAAn its a crap.
