The great thing about BMPCC cameras is you can set the shutter angle to 180 so if you choose to shoot in different frame rates you won't have to worry about changing your shutter rate!
The Samsung T5, at least with the 1Tb one I use, there is the follow issue: The fuller the SSD gets the longer it takes after camera boot up to be able to write onto the SSD, it gets recognized right away, but for example if there are 500gb data on the SSD it can take up to 2 minutes to until u can start recording
Thank you! Actually I just match them in post using Cinematch! Around the time that I made this video I was manually matching profiles but cinematch does all the work for you!
Nice video thanks for sharing. I have a question on my 6k pro (monitor menu) I have LCD, HDMI, VIEWFINDER and ALL .There's not a menu for (both) all I want to do is whatever I change on camera I want to see it on my external monitor even if it's not everything but somethings. Please help if you can. Thanks
I think you need to set them up individually…you can set the same settings for all but unfortunately there’s no way to just do it one time for multiple displays.
I never thought to shoot BM raw with extended video on camera selected and then change it to film if you want to in post. This could give a more accurate monitoring method during shooting than using film and a lut. Thanks.
Hey Jordan, great stuff as usual. When it comes to false colour, I know caucasian skin tones should be pink with some green, but when it comes to darker scenes where there's a lot of blacks, what colour should I be aiming for, and also scenes with no people in it, such as landscapes, cityscapes etc?
Hi Jordan, I am a beginner, so I am looking for tutz. I really wanted to watch yours but I cann't. I don't know what the problem is. I i know what the problem is, then I could follow. Like this one: The problem is if you loop your v/mount battery power you ould fry your HDMI. Something like this I have heared and I don't want to do that. No solution yet, but at least I know the problem I am not trying to run into. Ok, maybe this tutz is for medium and experts in filming but still, it would lead the video problemoriented and not menu oriented.
It's so interesting to hear how I just saw another video where this guy was saying about the Angelbird was the best lol...and now I hear different...But I can sense the difference with you on knowing you definitley know what your talking about, the other guy sounded more like a salesman lol....But this is exactly how I want my rig to look..do you have any videos on how you built it?? I'm Doordashing my way to get this Camera and my Rig!!! and also do you know if there's a sensor crop feature to use if using a Super 16mm C-mount type lens for smaller sensor cameras to avoid the Vinette effect??
I do have a video on my build here th-cam.com/video/gZXiMEfobjg/w-d-xo.html I do know that there is a crop in 4K and 1080 that would eliminate the vignette, but thb I would still shoot in 6K raw and crop in post. I think you'll be much happier doing that over cropping resolution in-camera!
Hey nice video man! I just recieved my 6k and I noticed when shooting everything doesn't look saturated, it's more like grey. How do I see the natural colors being produced on the LCD screen?
Are you editing in premiere? If you go up to the video effects tab when you select the clip in your sequence, you’ll see the general effects controls and to the left of that tab you’ll find the “Master” tab. In there you’ll want change the footage mode to “clip” in the only drop down menu that’s selectable there. This will open up your braw settings and under there somewhere you will see a drop down option to select from film, video or extended video. Of the three I like extended video best, but of course you can always just customize the footage to any level of contrast and saturation you like. All of that is assuming you’re shooting in RAW? Hope this helps!
No prob! Tbh I think this is the best camera for the money and ability to customize and expand, as well as excellent resolution which is ahead of standard 4K so it won’t be obsolete any time soon. You can also shoot in “video” or “extended video” directly in-camera if you don’t want to have to deal with coloring in post-production. I’d hang on to the 6k for sure!
@@WiredHardware I HIGHLY suggest you read about color profiles, LUTS, grading, etc. This is a professional camera where the bulk of color is intended to be addressed in post. The sensor will handle the color capture. you don't adjust saturation in camera. The new firmware will allow you to use a LUT for approximation though. you would probably be better off with a prosumer camera that has autofocus/balance/shutter for what you're mentioning. if your plan to fix the problem is to throw another 2 or 3k on another camera just hire me instead :)
@@jordanvp I too just built by BMPCC 6k took a lot of videos and got what I think is a Run and Gun with DJI RS2 and then the camera slides off of that base plate onto another base plate with rails for a handheld set up as this one. I used the PortKeys BM5 V2. Its all touch screen with menu buttons as well on top. Attached to both rigs is the Nucleus Nano. I bought two so I didn't have to rebalence the RS2. Its that pesky raised RS2 base plate that through the whole build into a tailspin. Not to many videos with the RS2 and handheld combo switch in between scenario. Plenty of videos with the same concept with the DJI RS. They changed the mounting between the two. Nice Video I started off with all your presets until I get better.
Curious about export settings. Just got my BMPCC 6k. Do you downscale your footage? H264 or 265? Bitrate? I am playing around with different export settings while I am watching your tutorial. Great work!
It is normal for any camera that doesn’t have a global shutter. I would mess around with different frame rates and shutter speeds until you find what offers minimal flicker!
I’m not sure how a gimbal would connect but I’m assuming it would be through that us USB-C port and I would also assume that DJI and zhiyun would have engineered their gymbals with an extra output for recording to hard drive (I hope lol). I do record direct to an external SSD from that port and it works very well!
imagine if something happened and it now shot magical looking footage that put people into a trance with how awesome it looks. nobody knows why and youre too afraid to take it apart to see. but it makes you one of the most sought after film makers in the world. but theres a dark secret. now onto the second act :)
Q0 has only minimal advantages over Q5, mostly noticeable at high isos like 12800 or higher, most noticeable meaning on a test chart with minor compression errors, But the difference is so little that the saved disk space for Q5 is a no brained
Probably about 95% of the time I shoot with the 24mm and crop in post. Mostly because I want to buy the same glass if I do get other lenses but the xeen lenses aren’t exactly cheap haha.
ty for all i will try q5 after seeing use it :) you kinda missed the point about preset sections. its the place you can save for example 2.8k sensor at 120fps . so when u go into presets and click on to it it will automaticly change to that. and you can kinda save whatever settings you want in there :) also would you mind sharing those landscaping luts so we can try if not paid ones
Thank you for not wearing a black shirt in a dark room with lighting that works wonderfully for skin tones in a video about a black camera. What is wrong with some people?
it does. you can customize or preload LUTS, but even that is to give you a general idea of the real world final. The entire concept of a pro camera is to give you the flattest profile possible for grading latitude. Most people do the grading in post. committing a color profile in camera is suicide. the same way audio engineers don't print to tape effect pedals, etc. once its there, its there.
@@flipnap2112 yea i get that, but disagree that committing a color profile in camera is suicide. it depends on the project. many professional projects have quick turnarounds and small budgets. there's nothing wrong with trying to get a final look in camera in a studio environment. i also do a lot of livestreaming in a studio, but besides making a very specific lut, there's no way this camera could get an acceptable look straight out of camera that doesn't need color correction. While i totally understand and largely agree with your point, I think the camera's lack of ability to shape the image in camera greatly limits how it can be used.
@@miniatureface im pretty sure the 6k can burn LUTS in, Ive just never done it. Clients ALWAYS want changes and thats the reason I bought a cinema camera with flat profiles. And if im doing a run n gun for a friend or quick project I just pick a LUT, show them the sample, and burn out the reel. going for a cup of coffee is shorter than trying to "degrade" a burnt LUT. once its gone its gone
The 6K can burn luts in and I’m on the same page with you Teddy…clients are ALWAYS wanting changes which definitely sucks. On top of that, premiere’s issues with color and contrast on export only compound the need for post-production coloring. I find myself increasing saturation, contrast and even warmth on my WB…Daniel, I agree it would be ideal to be able to shoot exactly how you want and have zero post-production coloring but I’ve yet to come across a client that was ok with the image straight out of the camera. To be fair, usually with my mirrorless I slap a lut on in post and call it good haha.
@@jordanvp I usually color correct as well, but if you get it close and don't need to make drastic changes, log gammas and raw footage is not necessary. and like i said it really just depends on the type of work. I am an audio engineer that records video of music performances with many of the video edits streamed or live switched. 99% of my clients NEVER ask for the coloring to be changed, and are seldom even thinking about it.
This by far the best, most practical description of the camera. Thanks!
Glad this was helpful!
Great job
Now I understood all the menu in my new bmpcc6kpro
Thanks a lot 🙏

what are you using to mount your v mount battery i notice its not in front of the screen
That was helpful thank you
That's a Beautiful setup!!!!

Is this camera full frame censor??
No this is a super 35 sensor.
@@jordanvp means it can be used for feature film allover the world Sir.?? I'm i right.
Do you know if you get it to display recording resolution - so 6k Raw or 4k Pro Res for instance - as a quick check as you hit record? Thanks

Can you use the Samsung T7 SSD? it's faster and less money per 1 terabyte
Unfortunately it doesn’t work with the 6k which is a huge bummer. I think many of us would also have switched to the T7!

Is there a setting to display if the camera is Leveled
Unfortunately there’s nothing in-camera to show if it’s leveled.
@@jordanvp Thank you
There is on mine. Next to the crosshair option.
Just bought this camera. What lens did you have on your BMPCC 6K
would you recommend that mattebox?
I'm really happy with it for sure...it fits the cine lens perfectly but also a great matte box with the included rings: amzn.to/3ehisSp
Good stuff. I heard you can control the camera with the Portkeys BM5 monitor. May want to look into it

ive found even downrez to 4K gives MUCH more beautiful imagery than a 4K sensor. Amazing little camera
