mate you just need to buy drop in filter system between lens and sensor, with whatever mount you have. This is much more versatile than built in nd filter because you loose the flange distance in builtin means your can't adapt many lens.
Best is Meika with drop in ND slot style, Fotodiox vnd is almost have with any mount but keep in mind with fotodiox they always have minimum 1 stop ND means you need to always have any cheap smart or dummy adapter as well with whichever mount you’re going for.
@@theinnerdreamer7043 but you get stuck nisi lenses, I got fotodiox vnd to ef mount, now i can use ef mount lenses the way I could with pocket6k with internal vnd on full frame.
Have you considered trying Kipon's EF-L speed booster with the 6k FF? Allows you to shoot 4k 60fps 17:9 with extra stop of light and better rolling shutter around 15ms while still maintaining FF coverage.
I recently purchased the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K, which features a full-frame sensor. I'm planning to use it for making a film. Do you think this camera is a good choice for cinematic production? Any tips or insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Because I'm so disappointed, we see a lot of videos saying this is not good and I'm very sad about this election
It's a great camera, and is perfect for short filmmaking for sure. Perfect for cinematic production, I have tonnes of videos on Blackmagic cameras and there are also plenty out there on youtube. Lot's to learn!
Lovely footage of course °¬) Loved the grade too! I use a variable ND on my P4K and have done so for 3+ years - it's super easy, I don't even think about it now, it's just automatic to me like changing aperture and focus (all with my left hand on the fly). Once you're free from worry about built in NDs it means you have more camera choices. I'll be getting the new Pyxis as soon as I can save up for it to pair with my P4K. The future with BMD cameras is so good!
@@DesignedbyKirk I just use K&F (K&F Concept 82mm Variable ND Filter Adjustable Fader Neutral Density ND2 - ND32 Filter, NO Spot X Black X Issue, MRC 28-Layer, Ultra Slim, Waterproof) I've used them since day one with the P4K and find them to be really good. If you're using a matt box you need one that you can add filters after the matt box (I use the Smallrigh mini mattbox pro) - and it can be a little bit of a pain if you're using other filters (like black pro-mist etc) but my mattbox pops off super easy if I need to adjust ND with a 4 x 5.65" filter in place. I do have my eye on the nisi matt box with VND built in - probably the best options I've seen but it's not cheap. At some stage I'm going to get the new Pyxis so the Nisi option would pair really nicely with that °¬)
Yeah interesting, I'll go and check those out for sure! I I used a cheap K&F filter at the beginning of this testing that I didn't mention, because the image circle wasn't large enough. But you're right the Nisi C5 matte box looks to be the best of the best, although I believe Kondor Blue is also coming out with one soon. Lot's of options to chose from!
@@DesignedbyKirk Yeah, I actually have two VNDs that work across my main four lenses - but I use a step down ring to put one of them on my widest lens and it's fine but probably won't be on a full frame camera! Yeha, you know with the Nisi that there won't be any colour cast or anything but I've filmed countless client jobs (and not enough personal projects!) with the K&F VNDs and love them - and if you scratch it, it's cheap to replace. (Subbed btw)
Cheers! Yes I’ve used Filmbox, Dehancer and Filmconvert in the past. I’d say about 50% of the clips here are Filmbox, but most of the grade takes shape with seperate nodes
My best advice, despite all the positive and negative hype, is to wait. Wait until accessories come out, cages, etc... then figure out if you may be able to build it to your liking
Wait you are the guy that made that video clip? About 6 other TH-camrs have shown it on their videos, I was beginning to think is was stock footage from Blackmagic.
@@DesignedbyKirk the one with the woman in a white dress. I have been watching literally every new bmcc6k video that is uploaded and i have seen your video at least twice, aside from this video. Unless you are showing it in other videos, ill go back and link you if its a different channel
What about power and battery life. if this shot 48fps in open gate and had prores I'd probably jump on it, I live without internal NDs atm but would also be sweet. Also does the new Pyxsis sway since making this?
Exactly the same as the 6K Pro, 45 min per battery to 1 hour. I’m considering the Pyxis but keeping in mind they’re the same camera. Just different bodies
@@DesignedbyKirk agreed they would make a great A/B combo in my opinion. The pyxis I think offers more for me as I shoot weddings handheld. Though braw is a bit of an issue and the fx6 is probably a similar price was all said and done. Though the idea of open gate feels more worth it
I'm not too familiar with the FX6 I must say, nor am I with wedding cinematograhy. But I can imagine no IBIS and BRAW could be tough to get over veruses some of the peace of mind / ease features of the FX6. I'd say the opengate is worth it if you want to create a certain look, or especially if you want to deliver and charge for in multiple formats
@@DesignedbyKirk Of course! Do you like this version or the Pyxis? I actually prefer this form factor because of the screen and because it can really be a run and gun camera if you want it to be.
How come Which mount would you rather have? I think its one of their best moves personally. Wished it was a locking L mount hopfully a pyxis 2 pro or whatever may have that.
Yeah it's a hard call! I wouldn't go with EF, it's a bit out-dated imho moving forward. Either PL or L I think is the way to go. I'd consider the L mount for now, as I can always adapt to a locking PL on top of that, plus it's a bit cheaper. Decisions, decisions! Ultimately, that choice should just come down to what lenses you anticipate yourself using
mate you just need to buy drop in filter system between lens and sensor, with whatever mount you have. This is much more versatile than built in nd filter because you loose the flange distance in builtin means your can't adapt many lens.
Not a bad idea, I remember being somewhat unable to find one that I liked, but if you recommend one let me know :)

I don't think you can use Speed booster with 6k.

@@DesignedbyKirk thanks mate 🫶🏻
where can we find the 3 wise men? great content!
Trailer is up on my channel, will be releasing the full short soon!
I couldn't find a Sony E-mount to L-mount conversion adapter no matter how hard I looked.
Perhaps one doesn't quite exist yet!
The flange distance on mirrorless mounts are too short to allow for any adapter between one and another.
Hello Kirk, did you use the regular T7 or the Shield one? Did you manage to use all available codecs ? Thanks!
I used the regular T7, up to BRAW 5:1 :)
Great video dude! just subscribed :)
Cheers mate! Appreciate it!
🔥🔥🔥 love the video
cheers Jaymes!
My concern is shooting with low light and, at midday, with full sunlight
Light appropriately, goes with any camera :)
Lovely footage of course °¬) Loved the grade too!

100% - yeah I'd definitely find a VND that's been previously tested on an opengate full frame even, just to make sure. very true!
thanks mate!
Is it possible to shoot BMCC 6K vertically? I would like to shoot vertically without cropping the horizontal video
Yes it's possible, but if you shoot in opengate, you can pretty much do both
love the grading! what plugin are you using?
He mentioned Filmbox. Costs like $1k USD
Cheers! Yes I’ve used Filmbox, Dehancer and Filmconvert in the past. I’d say about 50% of the clips here are Filmbox, but most of the grade takes shape with seperate nodes
Would the EVF fit with that nato rail you're using on the top mount point of the camera?
With the handle on, it does fit. But not very usable as you can’t quite comfortably get your eye onto the piece
I want to get this one or the PYXIS.
I feel the Pyxis offers an overall better platform but will get big. Very tempted with both too
My best advice, despite all the positive and negative hype, is to wait. Wait until accessories come out, cages, etc... then figure out if you may be able to build it to your liking
was this shot handheld? looks great
Sure was!
Wait you are the guy that made that video clip? About 6 other TH-camrs have shown it on their videos, I was beginning to think is was stock footage from Blackmagic.
Which video clip? Where else have you seen it

Yeah that's my footage, would be great if you could share with me any other videos you've seen with it. Cheers mate!
Albeit I have posted the full film separately
Hey Mate, I thought that the BMCCP cameras had internal IDs - so confused now
Only the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro has Internal ND's
Pocket 4K, 6K, 6K G2, and 6K Full Frame (This One). Do not have internal ND's.
@@DesignedbyKirk thanks CHIEF - keep being awesome

Thankyou! It absolutely is!
@@DesignedbyKirk Of course! Do you like this version or the Pyxis? I actually prefer this form factor because of the screen and because it can really be a run and gun camera if you want it to be.
How long does the battery last?
45-60 minutes I’d say
hi, tell me a sandisk 2000mb ssd is suitable at this speed
The speed should be fine, but I would be careful with the Sandisk SSD's i've heard some models have some bad issues and can corrupt easily
have you read the dune novel? saw it in the background🙂
I sure have! One of my favourites
Hi , what did you used to put the canon lens in it
I used the Urth adapter :)
(Link is now in description)
Fire
Cheers mate
@@DesignedbyKirk also you spelled favorite wrong, no biggie.
i love the BM went full frame...totally turned off from the L mount
agreed! L mount means we just gotta adapt, luckily there's plenty out there
How come Which mount would you rather have? I think its one of their best moves personally. Wished it was a locking L mount hopfully a pyxis 2 pro or whatever may have that.
It just makes it so much more versitile.
@@heartshapedfilms the ef mounts, to go with EF cine lenses

Very excited for it! Keen to give it a go in person soon
i count 7 step up rings..... i am not a fan of this 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Not my finest hour 😂
