- Blackmagic Design Cinema Camera 6K Full Frame L Mount Camera. I have always loved the simplicity of Blackmagic Design cameras. In this video I go over some features I like on the new BMCC full frame camera. In this video I used the Leica 35mm f/2 ASPH APO-Summicron-SL lens. It is very nice. The camera is great to use, and the footage is beautiful. It also behaves very well in davinci resolve, and is easy to color grade. This is a great camera for a variety of people, even those just starting out. You get a lot of camera, at a great price. Don't sleep on the eyepiece either!
All of the music I use is from Audiio. Get 70% off your first year with the code Blaine70 at audiio.com/blainewestropp They have an AI link match where you can paste a link to any song and it will give you results from their library that match the feeling and tone of the song you gave it. I use this all the time and it is amazing :)

Ok, I'm leaving a bunch of comments for this video already, but the UI of Blackmagic Design cameras are among the top of the top in that regard!
They're so amazing and I love them for that, that and the Gyro Data and fantastic imagery is also a blessing!
the ui is perfect lol!
You are correct sir!
A blaine video about blackmagic
I am in tears
I hope happy tears
@BlaineWestropp1 as a pocket 4k owner myself, today is a good day
I mostly shoot on 4096x2160, which is about as close to the centrist's aspect ratio as I can get (2:1), so I can only dream of how useful open gate would be
Definetly excited for future models
I had a 6k Pro and loved it, moved over to a Komodo and sold it but I wish I still had my old 6k Pro a lot. Quick boot time and the simplicity of picking it up was always awesome, not to mention the CS was brilliant IMO. If they ever make a sturdier body with better form factor (hate the DSLR style body) I will 1000% buy one again.
Same same! Like all of the rest of the internet I would LOVE a BM camera dat is box sized as a Komodo, but with all the internals of the BM.
I know everyone wants that box camera! overall the ease of use, and the menus are just amazing. im glad they made a large sensor, and glad it is 3:2. that is special and rare.
way to go!
Blaine just want to say I love how you engage with your audience on your channel. You literally reply to every comment, whether it’s a question or not. I wish I was still in NYC so I could learn from you. Lighting is my key thing I’m learning now, so any lighting and grading tutorials would be awesome. I’m currently shooting on a Komodo X and C70, with an R3 for stills. I manage to get great images but I really want to know how to properly create looks with lighting. Thanks again dude, take it ez!
Hey thank you so much. I really try and hit every comment, bc I’ve commented on videos and never received a reply, so I’m here to reply all. Lol. I am prepping for a big TH-cam project right now, stay close and some of the answers you seek may reveal themselves 😎
@@BlaineWestropp1 nice!!! Good luck my friend, wishing you well on all your endeavors!
Thank you Blaine. I feel like they made this camera for all of the independent filmmakers out there. I have completely moved into the Blackmagic ecosystem and it's made achieving beautiful images thay much simpler!
Yep agree with you on making it easier. The camera is made to shoot video. A lot of other cameras are stills and video which is cool, but adds some complications in the menu. And even on this camera you can shoot stills, but it’s not complicated.
Like blackmagic. simple, but highly enjoyable video. Love your content man 🙏
hah thank you! more to come :)
Owned the 4k and I loved it. I’m considering checking out this new camera. Great video
hey thanks! its a great camera!
DEAR Blaine, this is insane!!!
😇😇😇
Always love your contents
Thank u thank u :)
Which my R5c had open gate. That's just amazing.
comes in handy when shooting multi aspect ratio work, which is never easy!
For sure. Would be a killer firmware upgrade, but I don't see that happening.@@BlaineWestropp1
Love this beast. Can't wait to get mine.
love it. so nice to use!
I've been using the pocket 4k and 6K for the last four years and looking to add this bad boy. @@BlaineWestropp1
I use the 6kpro and is *so* wonderful using a camera where the only limitations I run into are *my* abilities - not the camera's. As I learn and improve the 6k's already waiting for me to catch up!
Now this is a sign of a nice camera! Cheers to you improving :)
One of THE best bangs for buck. EVER.
Agreed
I love this camera. It's cinema on a budget!
truth.
This is literally the first video about the cinema 6k that makes me want to try it. I love the pocket 4k, which still is my a-cam. I’ve watched a couple of other videos about the new 6k, all complaining about the iso and other stuff. But now I’m intrigued…
its a great camera, and you saw the ISO test in this video.. looked very good. what did people complain about?
Rolling shutter was mentioned a few times...
They must not now that you can fix rolling shutter issues with a simple click using the gyro stabilizer in resolve, I shoot a lot of handheld with this camera and just fix it in post, it's very easy, you can compile all the clips and fix them all at once also. I guess there would be more of an issue for people who shoot fast cars or have a hobby filming trains or something, not sure if it would be able to fix that amount of rolling shutter artifacting@@timlinssen
@@BlaineWestropp1 Some say the 6k pro has a similar iso performance.
@@timlinssen Note the hack for correcting rolling shutter with gyro data in Resolve (for the situations where that's viable).
Great Camera as well as P4K and 6kpro 😊
Yes :)
That's one hell of a lens
The lens is quite amazing!
according to Leica - the best lens they've ever made. @@BlaineWestropp1
My favorite thing with my 6K Pro is using the viewfinder with the Tilta extension mod so I can move the eyepiece wherever I want.
I saw that extension and it looks amazing. May need to get that in my hands.
Great concise video. I have mine since November and it's a joy. I'd like to know more about the lens you used, that APO-Summicron-SL 35 f/2 ASPH with the Blackmagic for sure is a killer combo,... do you prefer the IQ of a modern leica lens vs. a Leica R, for example? I've been wondering about getting some cinema glass, but I'm not quite sure if it's worth the investment. Cheers
It sure is a joy. Love it. As far as the modern vs vintage Leica, I don’t have a firm answer as I haven’t side by side tested them. Lately I have developed a liking for the contax zeiss lenses. I have some and have adapted them. For owning lenses, if you can get tried and true vintage for a good price, it could be worth it over buying cine lenses that are 10x the cost. All depends how you plan to use them really. For me currently, I like owning the vintage (but clean) lenses, and renting other lenses for any projects I do.
The new BMCC 6K is a great cinema camera to get, I’m definitely getting myself one to shoot my short films with.
I think that would be a good move!
@@BlaineWestropp1 Celluloid really is my love. My goal is to make feature films and I really want to shoot them only on film. I also have a goal to make my very own 35mm motion camera. I think there definitely needs to be new innovations with motion film cameras. I’m super excited for the new IMAX film cameras that Christopher Nolan and Jordan Peele are apart of, that are being developed. I love the large format and I really want to shoot with one of those cameras.
I really miss my pocket 4k but it was a pain in the ass to use because of the screen. This update is looking pretty good.
This is definitely a great update. What I like is that it isn’t too far off from the original BMPCC I had. Simple and easy, but a big improvement.
This is the best camera out there. Alexa like quality at an amazing price point.
It is really a cool camera!
@@BlaineWestropp1 wondering how you would compare this camera to something like an Arri Alexa?
I really love my Blackmagic Pocket 6K Pro! That being said, I'd love to have this camera as well. Specifically for that Open Gate and the option to shoot 4:3 or 3:2 aspect ratios for anamorphic lenses!
I didn't even know about the 6:5 ratio! Appreciate the video for that factoid!
yep the open gate tall sensor is really what made me very interested in this camera. love it
This is my dream camera. The ability to record the most beautiful color (at that price) WITHOUT rigging the hell out of it is really a plus for me.
Agreed! Also not even having to attach an additional monitor is great. Love it!
Great video as usual! I have to say that i really like how it looks with the grip attached. Somehow that's much nicer then since crazy vmount rigs. What do you think about the size? It's it super big in you hands or more like an old DSLR (1dx etc)
hey thank you! reminds me of a 1d when it has the grip, possibly a little bigger but I think it feels fine. easy to walk around with.
@@BlaineWestropp1 nice thanks for the feedback 🚀
Yeah big DLSR size which for me is great as I've hated trying to hold onto those tiny grips on the mirrorless cameras for years, lol. I have large hands.
If this camera could make photos would be amazing!!!!
It does take stills!
Cool video, I was waiting for you to talk about the bmp6k full frame. Noice! Would you do a review on Apple Log?
I need to get the new iPhone! Once I do I will :)
I haven't jumped into their cameras just yet but they definitely have been gaining some more of my mindspace lately lol Something I've noticed a lot of other users have wanted which I'm kind of hoping is that they do end up eventually going with a box-shaped cinema camera, people say they're more functional but I think they also look cooler... lol Maybe a 12k mark ii in a box style or something :D Nice video man 👏
hey thanks! I do like that I can just use this as is without attaching anything to it, but I could see how a box style version could do well too.
@@BlaineWestropp1 I hope they can make a full frame camera like this with internal NDs soon, now that would be nice 👏 👏
Great video as usual. But what camera are you filming your snorry-cam style shots with - the DJI osmo??
Thank you! For those shots I used the insta360 go 3!
@@BlaineWestropp1 ahhh very cool!
Now for the BM FF vs the Mini LF side by side. I think they are so incredibly close.
My next test putting it side by side some film in the studio. I’ll see what I can do about side by side with Alexa!
nice! Love all of your content. Appreciate all the effort and time you put in. @@BlaineWestropp1
Hello Sir. I own the 6k Full Frame too. I love your videos on all other camera stuff but it hits even harder when i see you experimenting with my camera. 🎉
I would appreciate it if you made any videos on your best exposure practices and how the ISO affects the noise. Especially given the amount of people criticizing the low light capabilities.
Me again... 😅
I would also appreciate it if you have a few BUDGET FRIENDLY 😪 Cine lense recommendations. I don't mind anything with extreme characters as long as I love how it pairs with the BMCFF sensor.
Looking to shoot Triller style wedding hightlight videos, Art projects, music videos and personal projects.
Hey thank you! I found the iso performance to be great, but I was shooting with a fair amount of light. I will test the low light capabilities soon. I have never once in my life complained about the low light capabilities of a camera! Maybe I will light a candle and see how it can manage that type of scenario.
I just wish the viewfinder was better! I had one but sold it because the evf screen was so dim and far-away-looking I found it didn’t work for focus pulling for me.
I feel the viewfinder is great, but I do not really use a viewfinder much for focusing. More for viewing the image uninterrupted and in a dark space! I didn’t feel it was far away.. hmm.
I shoot with a 6K Pro, the built ND filters are are incredibly useful and easy to toggle. I hope they make a 6K Full frame Pro model soon.
Internal ND is nice…
They do have it. That's the one I want. The ful frame version
The full frame version doesn't have ND filters@@TheDumontShow
The only thing that really confused me at the beginning was the auto exposure button, that i managed to hit every time i grabbed the camera.
It’s actually not an issue if you are aware of it.
It’s an amazing camera, especially for the price
it is amazing, price is great. also for that button, you can turn it off or change it to something else which is nice.
@@BlaineWestropp1 exactly, yeah i learned that the slow way by trail and error(:
Been curious about the 6K FF - I've got a 6K Pro which I love and have shot some great work with. The image is incredible and so versatile to work with in resolve. Love that they switched to L mount! I am curious to know if you noticed the lack of internal ND on this body and if that affected the way you shot with it. That's my one hang-up about it outside of the form factor.
While internal NDs are a luxury, i find that what you get for this price makes me okay with putting NDs in front of the lens!
Recently I did a TV campaign filmed with FF in Open Gate and I'm really pleased with the results.
An impressive camera! What ND filters do you like to use with it?
Also, thoughts on the Pyxis?
I think I used a tiffen variable ND on this one. my ND choice varies depending on what im doing. sometimes I am okay with a variable, and sometimes I want fixed! Pyxis looks great... I want one lol.
@@BlaineWestropp1 I've never used a variable ND, always fixed or internal (I just realized that). I need to snag a variable ND. I'm missing out on filming outdoors with the smaller cameras that have gotten so good. I think that was part of the point of your video! You've got me thinking, which is the sign of a well-done video. Leave the audience thinking!
I love the way your filming. Is it a Radial Blur effect? ie 3:48
thank you! zoom blur + prism blur
Miss my Blackmagic 4K!!!
I miss the og bmpcc! sometimes I consider getting one on Ebay. I love that camera, but what I really love is that this camera feels the same in terms of the menu and the operation.
I think folk (especially C70 and fx3 owners) have failed to understand that a decent viewfinder is an absolute key to make these cameras solo portable. The viewfinder was useless in my EX1 and GH4.. but the latest gen bring a decent viewfinder . Well done for bigging this up. One thing.. does the auto screen viewfinder switch annoy? in my canon when I rest the camera on my beer belly (better than a cinesaddle) the finder flips off so I have that to an assigned button not to auto? Ans I think you can get some semi decent audio too with this black tragic?
Viewfinder is great to have. I love it. I had zero issues with this viewfinder, but haven’t used it for an extended period of time. I also can’t speak on the audio bc I haven’t tested that outside of the internal mics! I will be doing more with this camera soon though!
Love this opinion. I have been a fan of Blackmagic's stuff for a while - we often use an URSA Mini (G2 4.6k) as a B CAM for interview setups with an LF or Mini as our A CAM. Exciting to see the new full frame option.
What are your thoughts regarding lack of internal ND's? Did that come up as a hinderance during your use of the camera? To me, and I think a lot of folks, that is a big drawback of the camera over perhaps the 6K Pro.
Internal ND is nice for sure. But.. if I’m walking around or in a situation where I can’t put a matte box on the camera, I don’t mind using a circular. If I am shooting the way I like to shoot, there is a mattebox on the camera, and a box of filters, regardless of internal NDs, so for me personally, I don’t mind.
Also one thing I don’t think people do too much that they should do, is just get fixed circular ND filters. That being said I understand the desire for internal. All depends what type of stuff you shoot and how you like to operate.
@@BlaineWestropp1 Word. Appreciate your perspective on that! Cheers!
+1 on the fixed circular NDs. I do ENG stuff and even in run and gun situations I manage to screw them on pretty quickly. +3 and +6 stops and you can do almost everything.
Agreed.
Every camera I ever had the auto switching to the view finder with the little sensor by the eye piece gets annoying real fast when camera gets it wrong or my finder brushes the sensor. Have always changed the switching to a findable button
This one worked pretty well. But switching to a button is also a wise move!
I got a viewfinder with my BMCC6K as well, but I haven’t opened it yet, and heard a lot of bad reviews about it that it’s really not worth it and I’m thinking of selling it before I open the box. What are your impressions of it?
Interesting that you’re hearing that it is “not worth it” the only other proper viewfinder that comes with a camera… costs over $100k. So when I looked through this viewfinder I felt that it was amazing that it had one. I guess depends on how you work. I think a lot of people complaining may not have had much experience with shooting with viewfinders. The purpose, in my opinion is to see an image in a dark space so that the light around you isn’t messing with vision. You don’t spend a whole day in the viewfinder. You look through it periodically. Multiple comments regarding people complaining about the camera which I think is so interesting. Maybe I need to watch some videos on TH-cam about this camera!
finally someone who understands the point of this camera
I can only praise it. I also browse eBay often for the og bmpcc. As mentioned, I like the simple things.
Been waiting for you to get your hands on this camera! Just a few questions.
1. What’re your thoughts on the high ISO performance. I’m totally fine being limited to 100-1000 ISO, but just saw that you ran it all the way up to 12800 😆. Just wanted your thoughts on how usable it was.
2. What’d you think about the rolling shutter performance for open gate? I know you do quite a bit of “rigged” stuff, so you might not have noticed much. I’ve just heard some mixed reviews on whether the gyro stabilization works well or not.
Thanks as always man ✌🏻
I felt the high ISO values performed great, but need to test further. also need to test further regarding rolling shutter and gyro. I do know though that the smaller the sensor area you are working with, the faster the readout speed, the better the rolling shutter performance. I also find that I prefer larger sensors when on wider lenses, and stuff on wider lenses (at least the way I shoot) doesn't get too affected by rolling shutter. if I am shooting beyond 50mm I dont care what the sensor size is. so maybe something I would consider is shooting more cropped modes for handheld stuff that isn't super wide.
@@BlaineWestropp1 thank you man! Appreciate your professional opinion on all things camera/lighting
@jordanadudek thank you! If I do more tests regarding the elements you mentioned I will report back!
@@BlaineWestropp1 sweet! My copy should come in a few days, I’ll share my notes 😆
Awesome. Please do!
How do you like your 35mm APO ?
I need a 28mm with AF for my S1H and the Leica APO is very tempting 🤔
I liked it a lot. I rented from lensrentals. It didn’t disappoint!
@@BlaineWestropp1 would love a small video about the lens 🤝🏼🙏🏼
Hi
Which lenses and variable nd filter would you suggest for this one .
ordered one on discount .
Am Filmaker/editor and colorist . Your work has inspired me for cinematography especially some lighting works .
My purpose will be short films TH-cam works and get some good freaking shots .
Was thinking of loawa 10 mm as first . Maybe it’s too wide and nisi vnd as nd filter .
Just looking for some suggestions.
Hi, I love wide lenses. I support the laowa 10. But for a first lens I may consider a 35mm. You could also consider a 24-70, which would give you more versatility. Nisi VND should be fine as well. I haven’t used one though, so you’d have to research that one, but should be fine!
@@BlaineWestropp1 I, too, love the perspective of wide lenses, but as a start, maybe I should consider other options. Based on my internet research, Nisi ND filters seem okay in terms of price range and exhibit minimal or no color shift. In your experience, which ND filter would you recommend?
Niceee!
:)
🔥🔥🔥🔥

What coat is that you’re wearing? It looks very warm
It’s a Canada goose that I’ve had for many many years that’s been keeping me alive in the winter.
What are your thoughts on image quality compared to the LF? I guess you’d have that bit of extra dynamic range etc…
The looks you showed in this video are very reminiscent of other looks you’ve shown on this channel.
Once you go through all the necessary Color Space Transforms, what do you feel is still different compared to grading your LF footage?
Very similar, shockingly so. The BM is maybe a bit sharper otherwise very comparable with the same lighting set up and CST used. But of course dynamic range is not the same as you allude to and the biggest difference is in the shadows. Northwest Camera Co. actually just did a comparison here on TH-cam. Search for "BMCC6K FF v.s ALEXA MINI LF - How Do They Compare??" to see their tests.
I did not do side by side so I cannot speak on that. But, the footage looks amazing and I was very impressed. Applying my look that I’ve been tweaking over the years to this footage was quick, and easy to adapt to this camera. Pushing around the exposure and colors was smooth and didn’t bring up any issues. It all looked great in my opinion.
Going to watch this thanks for posting!
While you will save some battery from having the eye piece they can drain battery faster than the LCD so for sure it is good that it has the sensor to turn em off depending which is in use. I am very tempted by this camera though form factor battery life and rolling shutter I feel may make me not choose it, I also wish it would use cefexpress media. small complaints overall which is why I am a bit confliceted
I hear you. Rolling shutter becomes less when you use any of the smaller resolutions as it has a faster sensor readout which is something to consider. For form factor, all depends how you want to use the camera.
I like the DSLR style I have an x-T4 at the moment and sort of stuck which way to go when I get a better a cam. I've done the whole box camera and it's great but it wasn't for me really. I dinna if the rolling shutter will affect me that much tbh though I'd rather use the whole sensor from the camera. How did you find battery life with the grip?
This or the FX3? What are your thoughts Blaine? Thanks! Amazing video!
This is the tough question people are asking. At the moment I do not have an answer. Do you need autofocus and IBIS? Do you want a camera that is simple and feels like it was made to shoot video? These are some of the questions you need to ask in order to choose a winner.
@@BlaineWestropp1 I loved my 6k pro and I love my fx3 now. I miss BRAW and would love to try the 6k FF. Looking forward to your answer once you get it.
@JirehTorres have you ever tried it, you could rent it. The fx3 is a great camera. You can’t go wrong either way. I had an fx3 for a long time, I am actually fairly certain I had the first one in the USA, great camera. The blackmagic is just so simple and a joy to use and has great image quality. That paired with the 3:2 ff sensor means a lot to me.
@@BlaineWestropp1 Sadly, there's no camera rental services here in Guam.
Blackmagic making full frame cameras makes me want to go back. Thanks for your insights! One more question, how does the Great Joy anamorphic lenses look with the 6k FF? And what resolution or aspect ratio would you shoot it in and why? 3:2? 6:5? 4:3 super35?
Hey bro! It’s me again lol. So wanna let you know (because I know your shoot Arri a lot) that there is a color conversion available that ports braw log footage to arri log c. Then you can use the arri Rec 709 lut and also any of the arri look luts or any other logc powergrades/luts you might use.
The color conversion is by Emotive color. Basically the guy programmatically (he has a very legit setup) maps the sensor readout from the input camera to the input readout of arri. I use the conversion and have done EXTENSIVE blind tests and the BMlog to logc to the arri rec709 always looks better than bmlog to bm rec709. It is a log to log conversion so non destructive and you can treat the whole grade as logc (I start with an exposure mode, then the log to log) then the rest of the pipeline is treated as logc. It is only available for certain cams. I use the p6k one. I have found braw to be pretty consistent so the conversion works great on any braw. I also shoot braw on my s5iix and the conversion works great. Hit me up if you have any questions. I know you have an eye for the nuances in images. You will instantly be like OMFG. It is pretty crafty what this guy did with sensor mapping.
P.s. just picked up a pancolar 50mm 1.8 to match with the 20mm and 35mm jenas. The 50mm looks great too!
Follow up-I have the exact camera you have so this is not hypothetical.
Congrats on the new lenses :). I did some testing with converting to log c within resolve raw tab, places a couple of my looks designed for Arri sensors, and it yielded very nice results. I wonder how different emotiv is.
Upload a test! Even if it’s private.
@@BlaineWestropp1 bro… you gotta try it’s worlds different from regular raw tab stuff. He did physical sensor mapping in a controlled environment, both cameras present, with custom software. The reason… emotive is actually translating what the input camera saw vs what the arri saw. He does it in a physical lab setup using a program he wrote. Put it this way… we were looking to add a ronin 4D to our fleet for some scenarios. The only thing that stopped us was that an emotive conversion has not been done for it yet.
I thought maybe we had confirmation bias so we did blind tests. The emotive conversions literally change the camera in our workflow. Aside from dynamic range obviously not being an Alexa. Everything else image wise changes.
Final note (applies to native logc and logc created using emotive). We do not use the davinci logc to 709 lut. We use the logc to 709 downloaded directly from arri. There are differences.
@@BlaineWestropp1 ok considering everything you do imma do that when I’m back at the desk. I’ll email you a private link I assume it’s in your bio?
PS… you gotta do that vid trying to match that digital footage to the real film footage! Can’t wait brooo
In your opinion, what ISO do you think would work best in low-key lighting setup; something like The Batman? I wanna lean into shadows, but I wanna retain as much detail as possible.
Could be a loaded question lol just looking for some tips.
for low key dark id go as low as possible but let me do some more tests and get back to you!
@@BlaineWestropp1 okay thank you for the response! Looking forward to some tips!
I shoot "low light" at 400 iso with a lot of light, lol. I get the cleanest result at that ISO on this camera using enough light. The next cleanest option is 1250 ISO but you lose about a stop at this higher gain stage so I prefer to use 400 if possible. You can always up the ISO a bit in post if needed without adding too much noise.
Thank you for this info!
This is my new camera. I love Blackmagic. I don't go with the constant upgrading to different cameras. I am a "work with what you have" kind of person. I'm buying it firsthand and can't be spending money on a new camera constantly. This one is perfect. Gotta save to get it
I agree that you do not need to constantly be upgrading cameras. Find what ya like and use it and don’t worry about the others.
@@BlaineWestropp1 Exactly. Some people go nuts trying to upgrade all the time. It's unnecessary unless it is years down the line with a new format like 6K. Futureproofing is what you do with these cameras
Maybe try a s16 zoom on it, would look good I think
Would love to try that… I’ll see what I can do!
How does it match up with your ARRI, especially colorwise?
Colors are looking good. I haven’t looked too closely at a side by side but the camera makes a great image and the ability to shoot 3:2 open gate is really great.
I think this camera is underrated and is getting undeserved hate.
since it was released I had been meaning to try it, and it lived up to my expectations. I also loved the original BMPCC. for me specifically, simplicity is key.
It is not underrated at all lmao.
Agree
Greatest menu system of all time.
It's just the classic fomo that surround all affordable video first cameras with a "dslr like design"
yes
Oh hi Nick. Thanks for the poker chips. Meant to call you out but I failed
@@BlaineWestropp1 let's run it back
Now you are just flaunting us with the poker chips 😤
We really are due for a game.
I have heard people complain about the form factor vs. a box camera, not being able to rig it as easily is the main complaint. I have owned neither a pocket camera or a box camera so im wondering how you feel about the form factor in professional use?
Edit: Also, would you happen to know if the cropped in formats are over sampling from the full sensor or is its just a crop in?
The cropped formats crop in on the sensor. For the form factor, it really depends what you want to do and how you want to rig it. Any rigged camera ive ever used has tons of stuff attached all over the place, cables everywhere, etc. everything is custom rigged for every job. I would check out the cage options and see if that will get you where you want. Are people wanting to attach monitors to the camera? For this camera, it has a large monitor. It has an eyepiece. So it has what you need to get the shot. It’s hard to answer the question really bc it is so much on a case by case basis and depends how and what you want to shoot. Look at an alexa mini.. it’s a tiny box but you can’t do anything with it until you add 10-15 pounds of rigging, doesn’t make me complain about it.
Great and concise answer! Thank you Blaine. @@BlaineWestropp1
i want one
I like I like
You're doing great! Careful not to fall into the camera review rabbit hole on TH-cam. Your channel is interesting and compelling BECAUSE its not another review channel. Back to the BMC, does it have the same issue with skin tones where you need to haven IR cut filter since its one of the few cameras that doesn't do this internally?
Thank you… don’t worry :) I did not use any additional filter for any of this footage. I will have it in a studio next week so maybe I will bring along the filter to see how it performs with and without!
@@BlaineWestropp1 I think it’s more of an issue on exteriors when using natural light. Not sure if these new LED fixtures produce anything in that frequency but certainly worth a test. If your blacks or shadows have a red cast, you have your answer.

Sony: how dare you

Is this worth upgrading to from a Pocket 4K 🤨
Yo! I don’t have the pocket 4k in front of me, but if you think having a 3:2 full sensor is worth it for you (it is for me), yes I would upgrade. That being said, all depends on you. Upgrade isn’t mandatory, but depends what you want.
Hope Blackmagic brings out an Ursa Mini Pro with Full Frame. I would buy this instantly. The form factor is just shit for rigging on this one - so an Ursa with Full Frame would be the coolest thing.
That would definitely be cool.
Is this really better than the FX3?
I’d say they are 2 different cameras. I’d also say this is a simpler camera. Which is better? I’m not sure! Sony has great AF and IBIS if that is something you want. BM is extremely simple and laid out perfectly for shooting video.
Considering you have experience with Arri Alexa and Red Camerass... Which would you say has better color science and overall look? FX3 or BM? @@BlaineWestropp1
What do you think of the image? Obviously the Alexa is in a different league, but also interested to hear any thoughts on that!
The image quality is very very nice. It’s a great camera all around. Walking around with a lighter weight camera, hand held, will always have a different feel than a heavier camera hand held but that’s easy to fix, by making everything heavier. I think what you get for the price of this camera is incredible. I have not done any controlled side by sides.. but.. on January 25 I will be brining this camera into the studio with a bunch of 35mm Kodak film stocks and seeing how they look next to each other. Was trying not to mention this but there it is!
Search for this video: "BMCC6K FF v.s ALEXA MINI LF - How Do They Compare??" The difference is probably much less that you would think. Dynamic range and latitude being the largest difference of course. Image quality in good light is close to identical with CST's used. They do many tests in the video.
Awesome, looking forward to it!@@BlaineWestropp1
This camera has been making me want to sell my URSA G2 🥴
The 3:2 sensor is always a thumbs up from me. Regarding the ursa… I just don’t know!
Let's a go!
😇
I always waited to upgrade my bmpcc og to bigger, now my bank account is in trouble after watching this video... ,)
Don’t get in trouble!
Just bought the full frame. Was comparing this to Sony a7iv a lot - hard to see the difference - but there is something better hard to explain
sony definitely makes very versatile cameras, I like them. I like the fx3. but the ease of use of this BMCC is unmatched, and that I really like.
@@BlaineWestropp1 yes! Same! would you say bm is closer to arri look? Is it less digital than fx3? How would you compare them?
I got one recently and it’s far less digital than my a7siii. Can’t really explain it other than it seems to have more texture and depth
@@mikeyhughessays yes but sometimes the difference is so minute that I am wondering it a worth trading it for lack of ibis, low light, rolling shutter, frames and autofocus
I always found BM a nightmare to grade - def doesn’t have that slap on Log C Arri LUT and marvel at screen moment. Still, I did get nice results from the cameras using anamorphic glass once for a shoot.
ive seen a lot of good looking images from them over the years. I think the new color science is nice and found I could get the image to where I want it fairly easy. when was the last time you had footage from one of the cameras in resolve?
Yeah it was about 3 years ago using the URSA mini pro - shot this with a homemade anamorphic brew of a rectilux hardcore DNA paired with a Kowa b&h th-cam.com/video/mr6uiLY8mRw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=wbr3PgmbzjjjaWeh
If this had autofocus i would nevery buy any other camera but it has not so i will have a panasonic s5x
Do you really require autofocus? 😇
Oh no, it costs only $3000 for body only. Good that I have this money under my bed
Time to go under the bed!
Please pronounce zebra the british way in the next video please.
Hahahah deal
