Man this was detailed, extremely extensive and just about everything somebody would need to see about the camera before buying. Thank you man. Thank you.
glad i stayed til the end, the lut info and knowing i can shoot day for night easily with a custom lut is game changing, cant wait to buy this camera :)
I am buying my own bmpcc 4k today after watching this walkthrough so thank you so much! Also I keep pausing at 6:52 when the letters on the wall behind you says "NUT...INSIDE MY HAND". Sorry I act like a child 😂
What I learned, your are awesome and love the speed, but I NEED to go to school to learn some of these things. I need a week-long course on all this photo-type stuff. Wow.
Thanks for this detailed walkthrough on the BMPCC 4k. Very much appreciated, thanks for all your efforts in making this video available to us all, surely a great tutorial.
That was an awesome video! Thank you for taking the time out to thoroughly go thru each function and feature. I was skeptical about buying the black magic because someone told me not to purchase it. I was going to buy a canon t7i because the screen flips out and I can continue my vlogs. But I think I may want to reconsider.
Super in depth guide here! Sony A7iii user here I am contemplating selling my A7rii to buy this camera. I have shifted a lot more into video with my business as of late and I feel this camera is a must have now-a-days!
DidsLive I believe you should sell your A7rii AND your A7iii INCLUDING ALL YOUR SONY Lenses THEN buy a LEICA digital camera with Leica R lenses for photography if you’re running a business . When you sell your last g master sony lens buy a BMPCC4K and use your Leica lenses on it for proper results ! If you want to upgrade to the EF Mount bmpcc6K model , then buy a few canon L series lenses and for photography get a new Canon Full Frame Mirrorless Camera..... u will be way happier with that decision
I chose A7iii only because everyone told that it's the best hybrid camera. Ever since I own (10 months) I'm trying to get good quality video by all the possible ways but failed. I don't care AF because I prefer manual even though I own A7iii. So I've been following BMPCC4k and you video covered almost everything. If I need same FOV and DOF as Sony 24-105 F4 lens and 35mm f1.4 what are the best options?
Maybe i misunderstood but you can shoot 1080p 120fps in RAW or prores. I do it on this camera all the time. It just windows the sensor but it’s not limited to RAW only.
@@twinkletwinklenanastar9500 It's been last 2 weeks for me so far. I heard some people have waited since December. If it doesn't ship by next week, I'm thinking of cancelling mine.
I could buy this camera tomorrow, and I would like to but I have no clue what "ProRes 422 options and ProRes 422 Proxy" means, I don't know what " 4:3 anamorphic" means, and so on. So how could I use this magic piece of equipment ?
thank you for all your video, they help me a lot! I have a question: how do you manage the focus of the BMPCC 4k on a gimbal, and all the other dynamic plan, so that it remains always focus?
Excellent walkthrough. Thought seriously about purchasing, but i shoot a lot of live events. Don't see this doing the job for me. Still a really cool camera though.
I didn't understand how to delete the clips I don't want from the camera. Is it possible to delete some clips and not every single data on the SD card?
Can you please discuss the bmpcc 4k using that specific battery pack working with a gimbal at all? I’ve seen powered gimbals that add battery life to the bmpcc4k but I want to buy this battery pack, I just don’t know if I can use it with a gimbal! Please respond 🙏
Nice video but I just have one simple question… is there any way to change settings, video resolution, frame rate and more without touching the screen? We are talking about a underwater situation and camera would be inside the housing and there’s no way you can use touch screen features. Thoughts
The built in battery will give at most 45 minutes or so. Unfortunately the camera just shuts off with no warning, so you have to be proactive if you plan on using LPE6 batteries, essentially about every 1/2 hour swap it out. Better to build your own 18650 module or buy something like the CORE battery shown in this video, though for the price of the CORE, you could build a simple 4x18650 power pack and get 10x the recording time with quick-swap battery packs.
The thing is, I'm looking to replace my Panasonic G7 (use it to record my orchestral concertos; I'm a composer) because I need something to record over 30m with good quality. The main problem that I'm finding is that the GH5 is too expensive for me now, so I was thinking about the BMPCC 4K but it seems that having the recording limit of 30m or just the battery life of the BM 4K is almost the same thing...
@@jorgefpramos You can definitely record for hours if you get a better battery system. Like I said, I did a little soldering with a 4x18650 battery holder, and with 4 NCR panny batteries, I get about 2.5 hours of recording in one go. It looks a little janky, but it works. And I just bring along 8 more batteries so after about 2 hours, I stop, power off, replace batteries, and go again. Easy to put together, cheap to buy batteries. Get the benefit of a fantastic camera too!
I don't know how to solder and I want something reliable...well, this said, Im still inclined to buy it but I do think that ill be spending a huge amount of money on accessories..
What is the best card reader for transfering footage from blackmagic 4k to computer? I am using San Disk 128gb read 525mbs SanDisk 256GB Extreme PRO CFast 2.0
Just the video i'm looking for, there's only one thing i'm curious about is it possible to record in 4k 60fps HDR internal or externally to Atomos Ninja V like the Panasonic Gh5? Thanks.
I think the HDMI output is only 4K30. Internally yes, on CFAST cards you can do 4K60 RAW. To the USBC drive, the best you can get is 4:1 RAW 4K60, and using the T5 that does not handle the speed for a long time. I did record 4K24 RAW 4:1 for the 68 minutes of space I had on my T5 500 though.
Anyone know if one can record a timelapse while also recording regular video ? or will the capturing of the time lapse frames interfere with the video footage?
5 years later looking to buy this camera. thanks for this.
I just got one in the mail today
Same
Me too
How much ?
Me too haha
Sat on the toilet this entire video, I’m buying this ASAP!

Man this was detailed, extremely extensive and just about everything somebody would need to see about the camera before buying. Thank you man. Thank you.
I agree man. The school I work out purchased 8 of these and the students have been loving them!
Best Menu System in the world. IMO.
Not! how to delete clips in camera BMPCC 4k/6k ??
@Riverthy Exactly. And it's a more cinema workflow to not be deleting things on set anyway. Just wait til you get home and delete the shit then.
I've had my bmpcc 4k for 3 years and had not even scratched the surface of what this thing can do. Thank you for this video!
glad i stayed til the end, the lut info and knowing i can shoot day for night easily with a custom lut is game changing, cant wait to buy this camera :)
omg it’s me from the past! def worth it

This is the most in depth review that I've soon so far. Been looking for one that goes through all these features on the BMPCC4K. Thankyou so much
Thank you for your tight and full range storytelling about this camera, got everything I wanted to know. WOW.
That's a lot of info indeed, hopefully BlackMagic will use your knowledge and video as tutorial for their products
I really appreciated all your efforts in the making this video. Thank you for sharing all those information and good job.
I'm looking foward to buy one and this is easily the best video I've seen of this camera. Thanks!

Thank you for this video, I'm using the Blackmagic Pocket Design for the first time.
You can shoot 120p in ProRes as well! Just turn on crop mode!
Super great and comprehensive video! Thanks my man

Dang, this thing is a beast!
Really appreciate the review and your delivery style. First time I’ve come across your channel strangely but will def check out more from you. Cheers.

Thanks

Great foundation video. Thanks.
I just bought one of these that was made 2 years ago.
my bmpc 4k touch screen is not working well what could be the issue?
Got it a month ago. Absolutely love it
At 16:30, what is the scream painting doing in the color

I wish you had showed the framerate and timelapse settings!
Learned a few things, just joined the club but I def need to play more with the camera to get the best results!
Great video! thank you for all the info! :)
i want to get into this hobby of cinema footage and i want to know what lenses to get for this camera could you help me out
He is back with another banger.
Great job, thanks
Very helpful thank you
This was AWESOME.. I'm poor and shooting on my iphone XR, lol but when I'm able to buy this camera I will DEF come back to this video
Thank you!
Hello, what LUT have you applied at minute 16:00?
Great Content! Thanks for the video!
Thank you!!
Kinda bummed about their product being backordered for a while. It's becoming real hard even just getting this camera.
For how long have you been waiting for your camera? I'm really impatient. I wish it were shipped already
@@twinkletwinklenanastar9500 It's been last 2 weeks for me so far. I heard some people have waited since December. If it doesn't ship by next week, I'm thinking of cancelling mine.
@@haechi21 I'll wait for mine cause I don't really need it any timesoon, but I really wish I could test it already.
I ordered mine back at the end of November and still no idea when it's arriving. Blackmagic said they are trying to keep up with the demand. :/
@@leonkavanaghfilmography965 holy guacamole, I just ordered mine two weeks ago. Seems like I'm gonna have to wait an eternity. 😩
You did not mention if you can use Nikon glass with an adapter? 4K vs 6K small camera?
I could buy this camera tomorrow, and I would like to but I have no clue what "ProRes 422 options and ProRes 422 Proxy" means, I don't know what " 4:3 anamorphic" means, and so on. So how could I use this magic piece of equipment ?
Damn. Having trouble deciding between this and a used Sony FS5...thoughts?
I love my bmpcc 4k so much it hurts.
I just brought the camera, learning asap
great job - thanks so much :)
you rock. this review also works for the blackmagic pocket 6k btw!
Thank you indeed it is an amazing explanations
Thank you!!!
thanks man! subbed. I have a GH5 and I can't stand the countless menus. way too many. thinking of going with the BM4k instead. still on the fence.
UI is hot and logical!
Excellent thank you
Glad it was helpful!
TheUnlockr I watched it a second time after playing with the camera, there was a lot to learn. Your video was very well made. Thank you a second time!
thank you for all your video, they help me a lot! I have a question: how do you manage the focus of the BMPCC 4k on a gimbal, and all the other dynamic plan, so that it remains always focus?
It's manual focus only. Shoot wide with a wide depth of field. Or just have a focus puller.
Does DC coupler for Canon work on BMPCC?
Really I need it for my movie work
How large are the files? I'm curious as to how many GBs one minute of footage would take up in ProRes vs Raw.
5GB a minute so every hour of footage is 300GB.....
@@SkullyReacts Is that in Prores or in RAW at one of the various compression rates?
@@chriscardoso ProRes. Uncompressed raw is even more..
Excellent walkthrough. Thought seriously about purchasing, but i shoot a lot of live events. Don't see this doing the job for me. Still a really cool camera though.
I didn't understand how to delete the clips I don't want from the camera. Is it possible to delete some clips and not every single data on the SD card?
Hi couldn’t find link to power pack battery
Thanks!
can the USB go to a computer and do an OSB live stream
thank you sir
is it compatible with canon DSLR lenses?
I got a problem, every time I record, I only get 4 seconds of footage, how do you get it to film longer???
there is no focus tracking on this camera? all other cameras are coming with this and this one is not?
Its a CINEMA camera.
All cine cameras have manual focus
Great video

Supposedly the v mount isnt made for bmpc4k and doesnt fit correctly. Is this true?
Would the most basic lens, such as the canon ef-s 18-55 be compatible with this camera? Yea, I'm a newbie..
Nice video but I just have one simple question… is there any way to change settings, video resolution, frame rate and more without touching the screen? We are talking about a underwater situation and camera would be inside the housing and there’s no way you can use touch screen features. Thoughts
maybe via bluetooth?
Hi, would you recommend this in 2022?
Absolutely or the 6K too
