@@mkropfbe Unfortunately, the truth is that BMD flat out lied - there is no way at any point they actually believed they could begin to deliver the product in early September. They may like the build-up, but it amounts to serious lack of consideration to their customers.
I appreciate your thoroughness to describe when and why you use some of the features of the camera. It is quite helpful to hear how others have experienced some of the settings. I would also love to hear more on about the cage, handgrip and mic setup of the camera.
Thanks for these videos! Could you also show us how you set up the camera with the cage, handle, monitors, maybe a follow focus and all the gear you could accesorize the bmpcc4k with? That would be so cool
The preset was not viewed as you were speaking. You said under setup there is f1-3. The preset created 120 fps, 25 fps, but where did you select settings for fps, iris, wb, iso.shutter, and f1 parameter?
Hi! Hope all is good! It works OK I have to say. Its not like the one from BMD or Zacuto but for the price its very good. I have been using it some when I have to. The build is so so but the price is 1/4 of other brands.
Hej till dig från Chiang Mai ! I was just wondering, since your videos are clear and concise if you recommend speedbooster, for for instance EF and if that Viltrox one is an option you have tried. Getting very mixed messages on which to choose. Obviously a price issue. Any thoughts? Tack så hjärtligt och lycka till med allt! Thomas
hej Thomas! I use the Viltrox but have also worked a lot with the metadonets version. They are very similar and picture wise they are identical. At least to my eyes. I know that some people have had problem with IS and AF working on both but I have problems with IS on native glass as well. I think that mainly is firmware issues from both BMD and the adapters. Personally I would go with Viltrox because of the price. Hoppas allt är bra och lycka till!
Hi Arber, thanks for the video. I’m having problems with my zebra while shooting in ‘film mode’. They only appear when it’s way over exposed (with or without a lut) yet if I set it to video mode the zebras work as you would expect. Can you suggest how I can get it to work correctly when in film mode. Thanks for any suggestions Mark.
Thx for the vid, could you tell more about your used memory lcards, and especially about prores 422 consumption with 25fps and 120fps @4k? Could also a good SD card handle that? Don't want to spend money on cfast... I'm planning for SD and SSD only...
With a good Ssd you can shoot all flawour with out trouble. With sd its a whole other story. Pores LT yes but everything else depends on which SD you use. I can shoot Prores 422 with my Lexar 1000x 150mb with no problem and that is mainly the codec I use. Good Luck
Can you recommend what to change or set up if I’m live streaming from this camera? For example to OBS or Vimeo/TH-cam. I’m finding I’m overloading CPU with current settings.
Good question, that demands a really good computer, If you can afford it I would go with the Blackmagic Atem mini pro because it has a built in media converter.
Good info Boss. QUESTION, Are you going to contact Black Magic to find out if there's a fix to get the Stabilization working with Panasonic Stabilized lenses?. it's so! very important that this works on this camera. Thanx for sharing. D.
Thanks for this video! Could you recommend a lens for me? I have this camera on pre-order. Although I will use this camera outdoors, I will use it more inside churches for sermons. I will be on average, 15 to 30 feet from the pulpit. Can you recommend a good lens? I was thinking of one lens that B&H sells that is constant aperture throughout the zoom range. It is the Panasonic Lumix G X Vario 35-100mm f/2.8 II POWER O.I.S. Lens. I was not sure if I would need another shorter lens. Thanks for your thoughts!
Hey, im very curious what adapter you are using to push the rosette mount forward so that you can easily attach your wood handle. I have an 8sinn cage for my gh5s and im trying to come up with a solution that allows me to mount a handle more in front of my cable inputs so that the handle doesnt interfere. Any advice you might have would be very appreciated. Also, is the spacing of the drill holes on cages standardized?
Symon totally. I had to pause several times. I know I’m very sensitive to such smacking sounds but this was just too much, especially with the mic so close to his mouth. It just amplified everything even more.
Hello Arber, I have my BMPCC 4k since a couple of weeks and so far I can say that it's a really nice camera. But there's one major issue that really bothers me and I would like to ask you and everyone else if you're facing the same issues. So the problem is that the batterylife status is not correct. It jumps up and down during filming or standby and when I turn the camera on and off it jumps again. Sometimes from 100% to 10, back up to 80% etc. (of course with a fully charged battery). This happens with the "original" battery that comes with the camera aswell as with some cheaper third party batteries. Only a true CANON counts from 100% to 0% as it should. The promised recording time (30-50 minutes) is not always possible (yesterday just about 15min. on an event). When I put the battery back in the charger it shows about 50-75% capacity so the camera clearly shows wrong numbers. The support isn't really able to help or provide any informations. I guess it's a firmware issue but it's super annoying since I can't tell how long the camera is operating. For client jobs or events this is not reliable and in short words useless (so far). What's your experience? Best regards from Germany Sam
Yes, same problem here with my Pocket 4K. BUT, now I use V-mount batteries with it and I get over 6 hrs per charge. Best thing is that I can have the little BM battery in it and it will charge too from the V-mount which is attached via the 2-pin; battery icon appears as if it is plugged via AC adapter. V-mount batteries only cost $100 each while the Canon batteries sell for $95 each. It's a no brainer.
Hi Sam! Ive hade the exact same experience as you. As you say Im guessing its a firmware issue. But it is annoying and unreliable. As Ziggy Death says I would go with V-mount for crucial work. Not that pocketable anymore thought =)
Hi Sam, das ist ein bekanntes Problem. Camera cave hat darüber in seinem Video auch schon gesprochen. Ich bin mir noch nicht sicher wie ich das Akku Problem löse aber definitiv mit einem externen Akku. Ob v-mount , ein 12 Volt Akku oder eine Batterie Platte für lpe6 Batterien ist die Frage
You should do a tutorial on how "not to record audio" that sounds like you have a mouth full of pop rock candy. I honestly didn't know nails on a chalkboard had a contender for the most obnoxious sounds that make you want to dive through a plate glass window while plunging 80 stories into a 3' deep swimming pool. Other than that, I think your vids are pretty good man. Let me know if you need me to ship you a bottle of water? lol...
Arber Baqaj it’s honestly the difference between .nef and editing JPGs. It’s a total scam what BMD with this and how they handled it. Plus so many youtubers (paid by BMD I think) say nothing bad about BRAW. It’s terrible because it leads people to believe a false truth.
Finally a video where the youtuber explain this camera in good details. Thank you for posting!
Thank you, Arber. An informative introductive video for individuals like myself getting familiar with the 6K model!
The wood handle is sick!
Thanks for showing the focus assist adjustment being on the main screen had no idea where it was
Set up? Here in the U.S., we would just like to get one before Christmas 2020.
I feel you! its the same in Scandinavia Im afraid...
....and UK. 😐
... and Austria... Yes, we are a small country, But we also deserve good cameras 😁

Im actually working on that right now =) hope you've subscribed.
Arber Baqaj Thats awesome! Yes, I am subscribed since a couple of months ago ;)
Thank you very much . You provided me the best advice ever , I just got my BMPCC today , I'm so happy with it .
This is the best setup video that I've seen yet for the camera. Mine just shipped yesterday from B&H (after 7 weeks of waiting)!
Thanx, I also believe so. I really like it! 7 weeks isn't to bad. There are people that have waited more =)
thanks. NOW i have found the focus peak colour and changed it to white, like on my 7S. the red war terrible.
Any alternatives to the small rig handle? Not a fan of the wood look. Mount a top handle sideways?
There are some NATO handles online from different places like 8Sinn or Tilta to name a few.
StarStreak thanks dude!
I do think that smallrig makes a side handle that is not wooden... www.smallrig.com/smallrig-nato-cheese-handle-1688.html
Great video, thanks for being so thorough. I've had my P4k since October and this showed things I'd ignored/haven't touched on yet. Thanks
I have the Panasonic 35-100mm f2.8 ll and when mounted it automatically turns the stabilization on. Thanks for your videos.
Thanx for the info! Apriciate it a lot! The Panasonic Leica 12-60 doesn't work some strange reason.
Could you explain the LUT tab, which is best for High dynamic range.
It seems this camera simply blows out highlights all the time.
The preset was not viewed as you were speaking. You said under setup there is f1-3. The preset created 120 fps, 25 fps, but where did you select settings for fps, iris, wb, iso.shutter, and f1 parameter?
you just set your settings and then you save them to your preset =) best wishes!
your set looks so relaxing :), Another great upload!
Thank a lot Dustin, hope all is well!
make a rig setup video please. thinking of how i should set mines up once i get it lol if it ever arrives
Im actually working on it right now, a lot of people have asked me to do that =)
Thanks a ton for the info . Super informative. The menu layout looks super intuitive.
No problem at all, I would say that they are by far the best ones in the business.
Can I use an Ipad as external monitor? Thank you. Also... Great Vid.
Its just for the camera controls I afraid
Great video‼️Is this a good set up to shoot music videos & tour vlogs? Just got this camera. Thanks
Just asking again, That Freeworld EVF you used before, is it any good, Not after a big review, just your view on it as a solution for this camera.
Hi! Hope all is good! It works OK I have to say. Its not like the one from BMD or Zacuto but for the price its very good. I have been using it some when I have to. The build is so so but the price is 1/4 of other brands.

A question, mate. Do you think this is a good camera for an intermediate filmmaker? Is it a better option than Sony A7sii or GH5?

Okay but when shooting 60fps in hfr, my timeline is still 25p and i have to manually adjust my video to realtime to keep audio?
how does this camera do on a gimbal ? I have a moza air
Great videos Dude! Thank you!
Good info Boss.
QUESTION, Are you going to contact Black Magic to find out if there's a fix to get the Stabilization working with Panasonic Stabilized lenses?.
it's so! very important that this works on this camera.

I Will actually do that! Ill get back to you! Thanx for the comment!
@@ArberBaqaj I would like to know too lol
Hi again, the is seems to be working even when its greyed out so that's a good thing!
@@ArberBaqaj
Yes i know when Grayed Out Panasonic lenses work. i wonder why Black Magic put that in the menue for.
Thanx again.
Some lenses seem to have the feature active so you can basically deactivate IS. It is strange though,
Thanks, this has been so helpful

If you are looking at one once I would probably go with the Panasonic Leica 12-60 or the Olympus 12-100, both great lenses!
I thought this video was about all the attatchments/ features you used to outfit your camera like battery, memory, and display

Hi! It’s a Arri Rossetti mount from cam camvete, I’m gonna check if it works on the gh5 cage 👌
Great tutorial....thnku so much
Hard to watch with all the pause-swallowing in high quality audio.
You are right.
Symon totally. I had to pause several times. I know I’m very sensitive to such smacking sounds but this was just too much, especially with the mic so close to his mouth. It just amplified everything even more.
The touch screen of my blackmagic pocket 4k has been stopped working anyone to help please
Thanks!
Awesomeness
I cant say what is right or wrong lol this camera is pretty advanced for me but id love to use it
What do you mean with using 25fps because you live in Scandinavia?
Edit: Googled it. Television standard. No need for answer. Great video. Lol
