This is the first review I’ve seen of these bodies that covers the practical use from a production co perspective. Thanks very much for this!! Excellent work
This is one of the if there most unbiased educational. Videos both about and comparison videos yet. From anybody out there, and for a. Professional commercial videographer to bring us. On the set was just true professionalism. You not just earned a like. But one more subscribe as well. Good day to you sir.
Very enjoyable and down to earth review. Thank you . Sub’d. It’s good to see reviews on this gear coming from working professionals who have experience with it ‘under pressure’ as opposed to TH-camrs who are building a career from the ground up on this platform and that’s all they’ve shot for - themselves. Not that there’s anything wrong with that - I truly applaud them and encourage them as well but when considering gear for a docu-series you really do have to get an inside view from a production perspective. This was very helpful in my decision making process. Cheers.
Reginald Worthington really great to hear that you enjoyed the video and found it useful, thank you for the positive comment and for subscribing! Kriss
Thank you for your detailed and well prepared review. Enlightened a lot and offered a great insight in your thinking process regarding camera eco system. Really appreciate it.
I am currently looking at getting the 12K and a 6K setup. One of the issues I am struggling with are lenses, specifically the mounts. The 12K will have the PL mount, which means I need to either modify the 6K mount using a Wooden Camera adapter kit, of find some other type of screw-on adapter. Modifying the 6K voids the warranty, and I cannot seem to find an external adapter. How have you solved this issue, 2 sets of lenses, or going with the EF mount on the G2? And do you have any options that you think would work, having experience in this area. - Thanks and a great video.
From our point of view we’ve gone with EF mounts, however we will be moving to having some cameras on PL for various reasons. In that scenario it would be a case of just running both mounts and different lens sets.
@@StillMovingMedia Thanks. I am guessing I'll end up changing the 6K to a PL mount. In the long run it will be cheaper than buying two sets of lenses I believe. Again, love watching your videos!
Hard to compare those cameras as they're designed to be used very differently. The Pocket 6K is a true cine camera, whilst the Sony A7SIII is a hybrid mirrorless camera that stems from photography. Ultimately if you're concerned about the amount of data you'll have in your video image, then Pocket 6K is going to give you much more to work with as it can record in 12-bit BRAW. Thanks for watching! Kriss
Very informative video! What's your opinion on picking up an UMP G1 in 2020? The G2 is out of my budget. Currently using my Pocket 4K fully rigged out as an A-Cam and my Pocket 6K as a B-Cam for gimbal work. But I'm thinking about trading in my Pocket 4K to get an UMP G1, because of more connections and integrated features.
We are in the same situation currently have the pocket 4k and looking at the g2 but may settle for g1..... the main difference with the g2 is higher framerates. Quality is the same
Please make premium tutorials and put them up on your website. Anything below 500USD will sell like hot cakes. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking ur time precious time out and providing us this content for free. Sending a lot of positivity your way.
I disagree with your take on dynamic range between these cameras. Although the G2 claims to have 15 stops, this is an exaggeration. It's closer to 13. And for the Pocket 6k, strangely, it has more than 13 stops. I encourage you to place both cameras at ISO 800 (not 400), then do a highlight recovery test, and you'll see that the Pocket 6k outperforms the G2 by quite a lot
What you are refering to is latitude not dynamic range. BMPCC6k native ISO is 400 but at 800 its latitude shifts towards the highlight that why you are seeing more recovery at ISO 800. The G2 native ISO is 800 but latitude shift towards highlight at ISO 1600. You should be comparing BMPCC6k at ISO 400 vs G2 at ISO 800.
@@simonc4764 most cameras have better highlight retention at higher ISO. And the zones graph in Davinci shows that the Pocket 6k has 15.5 stops of dynamic range. The greater the dynamic range, the greater the latitude it has. And no matter where you are on ISO, when you look at the DR charts, the Pocket 6k has better highlight retention. Also, oddly enough, it's also better at underexposure which is surprising to me
I have both camerss and as I have said the native ISO is different between both cameras. ISO 800 for the Pocket 6k is merely shifting the latitude towards highlight, that is what you are seeing.
@@leebrandt33 Pocket 6K has about 11.8 stops and the G2 has 12.6 stops using the same test conducted by CineD. YOu can disbute ther test but under the same condition the G2 has more DR than the Pocket 6k,
@@simonc4764 their tests are useless for me because they only do straight readouts and don't include how much you can push and pull an image during post. And no, I can get more highlights and shadows than the G2 under any conditions and I'm ready for a camera shootout if anyone wants to and lives near me
You are talking way to much... It does not matter are you right or not, do you know what are you to talking about or not, just be concrete. You are talking about several themes here, those could be list three different videos. Much more viewers you would have than.

This is a great video. Very helpful and informative. Thank you.
Great information. Thanks. Will you be adding in the 12k?
Wow...this is very imformative... please what kinda lenses are those?
Excellent review, thank you

Check into the 12K. They come with BM EF mounts as well. The option to upgrade, that is.
Just watched a video from Epic Light Media. Might help
Would you choose the blackmagic pocket cinema 6k over the Sony a7siii

Holdan Limited even though the Sony can do 16 bit raw?

Aprendí mucho, gracias por la información 😊
FANTASTIC VIDEO!
Glad you liked it!
What is that ugly noise at 17:49 ? :s
Im thinking of switching from canon to BM. I love the image just would miss the autofocus.
Well if you have any questions before you make the switch, please do ask :)
That’s funny I have the BM G2, 6k & 3 4k’s and I’m actually thinking of buying the canon C70 because of the DR, AF and Battery Life
excellent review
QED...thank you!
Nice content. Are you affiliated with blackmagic? Ambassador?
Ursa doesn't offer a lot (and particular more than P6K) of dynamic range due to FPN.
