@Patrick Tomasso I really appreciate this video and it has convinced me to pick one up. I am have the Sirui 35 and 50 anamorphic Micro 4/3rds lenses. Any chance you have them and could shoot a test? I still intend to get this either way, but I love the anamorphic look. :D Great review, btw.
@@thechromeangel5559 I have a review of the 24mm Anamorphic for MFT. I don’t have this BGH1 anymore though so I can’t test it. I would consider the image pretty much identical to anything you’ve seen from a GH5s with slightly better dynamic range.
@@AndyPhu he should've did more maybe a tracking shot of a talent or a wide angle to a close or maybe a inside of a vehicle shot the reel was just too static.
This guy is underrated. First video I’ve seen of theirs and it was a treat to watch and listen. The way he speaks is with such knowledge and authority and just extremely easy to listen to. Subscribed to the channel instantly!
I've been flying this little guy on a DJI RS2 underslung on a jib and it's amazing! Great 4K 10-bit 4.2.2 footage to a ninja V at the base of the jib thru the HDMI while simultaneously sending a 1080p signal thru the SDI to a client monitor. If we want to stream that same signal we can add a LAN. We can do those 3 at once. Put a DZOFilm Linglung lens and you got the smallest parfocal/parcentric cinema rig that is netflix approved. I do wish it had at least a tiny screen as well but for my work I always use the ninja V. To add to your battery section, I'd suggest looking into the CoreSWX VBR version as it has an additional Dtap output. It powers both the BGH1 with my ninja V for ~4hrs of continuous recording. Only con is that it's 4 inches long and though that's not a lot, on such a tiny camera that thing sticks out A LOT. Great review!
This is exactly the kind of setup I imagined this camera would flourish in. People are upset because it’s not a pure cinema camera but I was never meant to be. It’s purpose built for situations and scenarios just like this. Amazing!
You've officially sold me. I want a cinema camera, but not a huge rig. This into the ninja, with a cage and handle for handheld (and easy to switch to my gimbal) is perfect for fast cinematic shooting. The Netflix approval is HUGE for affordable cinema. This will be a nice upgrade from the GH4, and I can still fly that as a b-cam. Probably going to go with the EF DZOFilm lenses instead of MFT (so I can use on other cameras too) but yeh, good stuff!
I'm hoping the same but with full frame! I really don't have issues with the rolling shutter on either my BMPCC 4k or 6k.. But I don't really shoot a lot of fast moving objects.
Biggest difference to the GH5s internally is the 12 bit ADC readout which allows for much better dynamic range (comparable to Pocket 4K now) and the lack of sharpening which is the reason the footage doesn't look like cheap DSLM footage anymore.
Dang! I almost dismissed this thinking it was just a rehoused GH5s and thought I’d rather get a GH5s for the screen but more than enough of a difference to really consider this.
As I was watching your video, I happened to be watching Veronica Mars, and of course, I had to rewind your video to make sure I saw what I saw. What a coincidence to see that actor on your video. I really liked your explanation of the camera.
Beautiful images, dude! I wish there were a bmpcc4k in a cube form just like the GH1. In fact, I hope the next BM camera will be a Full frame 6K/8K in a cube form too. Cube is the way to go.
Blackmagic Micro Cinema Camera is a cube one so they already have one and probably new model coming soon. Pocket is different line. This small cubes are designed for action, drones, cars etc like GoPro.
i know that feeling bro, when you pick up a camera. it must be inspiring to do so. even if the image is good, the blackmagic body is such a hassle that you need to rig it especially the battery part to make it usable. that's why i decided to go with the red komodo or the a7siii when i have the budget
3:18 "I'm gonna Caleb Pike this thing" lol. Great video, never heard of that cam before. I'd like to know what is GH6 going to be like before taking ant decision though
@@impatrickt I don't think so. It's very good for what I use it for with a good community. It could be more refined for sure but its still a very good camera
Wow!!! So that’s why cube cameras are great!!! I never knew that! OMG those ports!!! Controlling with the laptop seems so useful!!! I didn’t know micro four thirds was still really great either! I always thought it was like for the cheap cameras 😅😅😅 I learned alot today! Thanks Patrick for the awesome video!!! 😁
Superb review! I must admit the ergonomics and body-style makes this camera really interesting. One thing to note about the battery situation of the BGH1: These batteries are quite common with Panasonic's lineup of camcorders from their professional broadcast division and very easy to source and ubiquitous in ENG/EFP applications. hope that helps.
Looks awesome. Now I'll wait for a video on how to use it. I have a few pro lenses from Olympus and want to learn how to do video and love the small form factor. Looks like quite a big learning curve. Thanks for showing us this camera.
I know nothing about cinema cameras but still watched the whole thing. Really interesting watch, I love how you broke it into segments about different things and closed it with your final thoughts! The footage reel on Vimeo was really dope!
The intro was insanely good, really like the flickers on the sensor... idk if that was intentional that you made it or it just came out like this when you filmed it maybe a table fan reflection or something but yeah awesome.
Thanks for the video Patrick, I love the idea of a cube camera. At work I shoot on the FS7 and FS5 but I am always looking to go smaller. Your Broll made me smile, I worked in Toronto at The Score Sports Network as an editor years ago and your broll brought back memories of the real Toronto for me. Thanks.
Very cool video! Ursa mini 4.6k is also a great budget Netflix approved camera if you can find a used one for a good price! It does take more expensive accessories, so I think when it's all said and done, the BGH1 is overall cheaper.
@@radmediatv Are these ... Anamorphic? Case closed 😂 I have of course a speedbooster and EF-Lenses, but don't use them anymore since I have the complete set from sirui
I just bought an S5 to upgrade from a G85 and I gotta say, while I LOVE the S5 it made me appreciate the G85 even more. M43 is just so cool and it’s an amazing platform to travel with.
the S5 made me realize the opposite. i should have switched to full frame years ago. i could never stand the 2x crop and weird lenses you have to buy… not to mention the crappy low light etc. now that the new FF lenses are so small and light i dont see much benefit for MFT. and the best MFT lenses out now are huge.
Great video.- got me thinking - perfect for a high quality stream setup too. What was the music used on the demo footage at the end.- really really good for the atmosphere.. subbed!
Awesome video Patrick! First time I see this camera, wow. actually I read Klaudia's comment on twitter and came here to watch it. The image looks great and it seems to behave really good on low light conditions from your reel. And the best part of it is the price! Thanks man!
Thanks for reviewing this camera! I feel that it's very underrated and agree with everything you've said. I'm upgrading from a GH5 and felt that this might not be enough of an upgrade so was looking at the s1h but going full frame becomes very costly so this just might make sense for me
I’ve been think about moving away from Panasonic but now I’m going to reconsider. Also loved the Toyota Landcruiser. I have two of them on the back burner for restoration.
Great video Patrick! It’s the longest from I’ve seen from you recently. It will do great. A LOT of creators are looking for an entry point in the Netflix world and this is a cheap ticket 🎫 but with great potential
This is a great, informative video - thanks so much. I'm moving more into broadcast and the FS7 is super popular. However for non-broadcast work I've been using the Lumix S5 and really love the UI so think this camera could be a great shout to switch over to for a broadcast acceptable piece - but what would you say about the FS7 and this compared? I don't want to skip on an FS7 and regret it if there's a reason they're so damn popular for docs / TV I've just not realised...
@@impatrickt Yeah guess I'm just thinking price-wise and broadcast accepted this ticks the boxes but FS7 is so popular in the TV industry. I've played with an FX6 and it's lovely, but at £5k for body alone I was hoping for something more pocket friendly! :)
Hey! I'm interested in the BGH1. The only downside is it doesn't come with Batteries or a charger. I decided to go with the native Panasonic batteries, however the charger is seemingly way overpriced (it actually should have come included in the package). Anyways do you have any experience with any other chargers for the Native Panasonic BGH1 batteries? The one Panasonic sells is mostly plastic and costs $219.
You can not only control this camera over ethernet, you can actually power this camera over POE+ which is amazing for livestreaming/multicamera workflows!
@@rubiotv I don’t so the z cam has more features than the BGH1. I.e Internal ND Filters, Interchangeable lens mounts, more video codecs such as h.264, h.265, ProRes and 12 bit raw!
Thank you. I have always told people who thought Sony camera had bad color science the exact same thing. There is no bad sensor but there is a bad user and that's all.
The colors in the end footage are incredible! Are they true to how the locations looked in person or have you redone the whole thing and made it look cinematic? I'm really curious because that would be the deciding factor in my opinion. If you were the one who made it look cinematic, and the camera just recorded the standard image, then I'd most likely just stick with Blackmagic :) (I mean, I'm 99% sticking with Blackmagic, but I'm just wondering about the colors hahaha)
I think the BGH1 and the P4K are really neck and neck. In terms of an out of the box image I definitely think the BGH1 needs less work and feels more natural. You can totally get them both to look the same though. Choose the form factor you like best!
@@impatrickt I’m also interested in just going full Fuji XT-4. I like the menu layout compared to Sony. And I just don’t want to get what “everyone has”
I want to buy this camera, I have the gh5 and I like the color of the Lumix, can you tell us if more of this camera in another video, apparently it has a much higher focus and a greater dynamic range.
Helpful review. BGH1 = full size HDMI port, S5 = Micro HDMI port, should partly sway your purchase decision. Sometimes it's the small things, or the big things in the case HDMI connector types.
How do you find the HDMI latency compared to the previous gh4/gh5(s) (if you've used them at all). Is it tolerable for motion/action shots? Or is it basically useless for tracking anything fast moving like the previous cameras? I've had my eye on this for quite some time, but IDK if I want to pull the trigger because 12 bit pro res raw would be useless I can't use it for high paced scenes. Thanks!
You nearly tempted me to sell my BMPCC4K so that it matches my Lumix G9... what keeps me coming back to my Blackmagic is the BRAW and the PRICE. But let's see if they introduce RAW to the BGH1...
@@impatrickt I think the key things I would be looking for in their next cube are: full V-Log (not V-Log L), Global Shutter (it is after all a prime crash cam candidate), and if we’re honest, they really need to switch to a different autofocus tech within the next two years ago.
@@ForestCinema im gonna stick to the S5 for now. Pro-Res raw - great autofocus in APS-C mode, even though I never use it... and it's full frame + IBIS. couldn't ask for anything more to be honest,
@@impatrickt so are you in FCPX then I assume? I’m pretty darn bummed that Resolve doesn’t support ProRes Raw yet, because I find it magnitudes more powerful of a software versus FCPX.
Funny, I did expect an update of their little cube cam from BMD, but instead they give us the opposite, a fully rigged pocket pro. Which I think I like better.

BlackMagic needs to get a cube. Like a new one. Maybe S35 sensor like the p6k in a cube with better DR, less noise and less rolling shutter

Helpful review. BGH1 = full size HDMI port, S5 = Micro HDMI port, should partly sway your purchase decision. Sometimes it's the small things, or the big things in the case HDMI connector types.
I prefer micro. smaller stuff coming out the side. ive never had issues with micro.
Great review
Great review, can it also take great photos?
no its not a stills camera
With the new 10.63 update for Atmos ninja v it can now shoot 4k dci prores raw
They listened to me!
on netflix there is High Flying Bird shot on iPhone, so no worries about the cam
An yes dune looked great shot on pixel 4.
Excelente video, gracias por subirlo !
Thanks for the review. I hope Panasonic supplies an ACES input device transform for this unit.
It already has one. The VariCam IDT will work for this camera and all the Panasonic Lumix S Series Full Frame cameras as well.
@@PANAFRAZER Cheers. Good to know.
How do you find the HDMI latency compared to the previous gh4/gh5(s) (if you've used them at all). Is it tolerable for motion/action shots? Or is it basically useless for tracking anything fast moving like the previous cameras? I've had my eye on this for quite some time, but IDK if I want to pull the trigger because 12 bit pro res raw would be useless I can't use it for high paced scenes. Thanks!
I never noticed any latency issues with the gh5
Thank you very much, what camera would you recommend to make a movie, from the lowest range. the BMPC6K Pro is possible or with the Red Komodo.
The Lumix S5 is a great upgrade from your GH5.
I applaud your bravery making a video about the anti TH-cam camera.
maybe I will get real filmmakers watching it and not TH-cam filmmakers. not sure if they're worse or better though.
@@weplaywax yes there is. At the moment it is Sony A7S III until the TH-cam Gods will say otherwise and 98% TH-camrs will buy new hot camera😉
You nearly tempted me to sell my BMPCC4K so that it matches my Lumix G9... what keeps me coming back to my Blackmagic is the BRAW and the PRICE. But let's see if they introduce RAW to the BGH1...
I think it's better to actually get something like an S5 now over both.
@@impatrickt I suppose. I’m a pretty big fan of the BMPCC4K though. Really enjoy the workflow.
@@adinwalls couldn't agree more man. it's a great camera
100% on your closing statement. Subscribed.
Appreciate you watching till the end. A lot of people have taken comments out of context.
I could have sworn that I read somewhere that the BGH1 does shoot ProRes raw, but in your video you mentioned that it doesn't 🤔
It didn’t
If they ever cube the S1H sensor, I’ll be all over it!
id even take a cube S5
@@impatrickt I think the key things I would be looking for in their next cube are: full V-Log (not V-Log L), Global Shutter (it is after all a prime crash cam candidate), and if we’re honest, they really need to switch to a different autofocus tech within the next two years ago.
@@ForestCinema im gonna stick to the S5 for now. Pro-Res raw - great autofocus in APS-C mode, even though I never use it... and it's full frame + IBIS. couldn't ask for anything more to be honest,
@@impatrickt so are you in FCPX then I assume? I’m pretty darn bummed that Resolve doesn’t support ProRes Raw yet, because I find it magnitudes more powerful of a software versus FCPX.
@@ForestCinema I use everything - clients are mostly in premiere. I use Resolve for my Pocket 4K and FCPX because I think it's the fastest editor.
Funny, I did expect an update of their little cube cam from BMD, but instead they give us the opposite, a fully rigged pocket pro. Which I think I like better.
I’d rather this than the 4K BMPCCC.
Awesome wrap. You ever mess around with HLG?
Huge Lemon Gongs? All the time. Or do you mean HYBRID LOG GAMMA? No. I’m not a fan.
@@impatrickt I’ve heard it both ways.
