- Blackmagic Design has launched their NEWEST 6k camera, the PYXIS 6k. A fully customisable next generation full frame 6k cinema camera.
We asked for it and Blackmagisc design has delivered it, the Pyxis box styled camera.
And I am super interested to hear your thought on it….
Blackmagic PYXIS 6K is a high end digital film camera that produces precise skin tones and rich organic colors. It features an extremely versatile design that lets you build the perfect camera rig for your production.
The Pyxis 6k has a full frame 36 x 24mm 6K sensor with wide dynamic range with a built in optical low pass filter that's been designed to perfectly match the sensor. Plus there are 3 models available in either EF, PL or L-Mount. You also get 2 x CFexpress media recorders and Ethernet for sharing media to Blackmagic Cloud! It even records both 12-bit Blackmagic RAW and extremely small H.264 proxies files at the same time.
With multiple mounting points and accessory side plates, it’s easy to configure Blackmagic PYXIS into the camera you need it to be! PYXIS’ compact body is made from precision CNC machined aerospace aluminum, which means it is lightweight yet very strong. You can easily mount it on a range of camera rigs such as cranes, gimbals or drones! In addition to the multiple 1/4″ and 3/8″ thread mounts on the top and bottom of the body, Blackmagic PYXIS has a range of side plates that further extend your ability to mount accessories such as handles, microphones or even SSDs. All this means you can build the perfect camera for the any production that’s both rugged and reliable.
Blackmagic PYXIS has the professional features you need for feature film, television programming and documentaries, however now this same quality can be used to create cinematic content for social media, TH-cam videos and more. You get the same features found on high end digital film cameras, allowing capture of deeper colors, higher image detail and a wider dynamic range between the brightest highlights and deepest shadows. It's the reason why feature films look so amazing and now you can get the same high end production values for any kind of work. Imagine shooting with large format digital film on low budget independent films, TV commercials or even corporate video

The PYXIS 6k Full Frame Cinema is the best cinema camera for under 3,000 USD. Nothing even comes close to it on paper. But thats what I think, let me know your thoughts and it this camera is what your were wanting from a BOX camera…..
Look at the Zcam E2 F6, it’s also a 6K full frame cinema camera, and is exactly the same price as the Pyxis. Honestly, I’m on the fence between the two
ZCAM is an interesting company…why they aren't mentioned in the video?
Z cam f6 is the better option with better frame rates. Bs1h does literally everything the pyxis can do.. bM stuff always has an issue with electrical functions. There is an issue with their cameras.
can you elaborate on what you mean with electrical functions? I have owned BMD cameras from the OG 2.5k and never experienced electronic issues. Smashed screens (bad camera assistant), black hole sun highlight clipping, but never electrical functions so Im curious what your experience has been.
@@EntrNmHre bm has mechanical issues with their cameras. If yours doesnt go out then your lucky. I own the ursa g2 and i got the dam black screen of death after owning it for a year and not shooting so much out of it to perserve it. I owned the og 6k for 3 years and nothing. Ive watched other people have issues with bm being unpredidicable. I will never own a bm camera again.
This will be my first camera and I’ll use it for my short films next year 🎉
good choice
Idk, I might say Zcam is a competitor at that price point. The Zcam E2 F6 is also a full frame box and is also $3K… I’d love to see a comparison between these two cameras
BRAW
Also, black magic branding is a lot better than z cam. In addition to the codec world extremely well in DR
@@MtZionMediaPro Zcam has Zraw
@@ThomasTulak Can't use it in any nle
possibly
Finally Braw on Box .. i am ready for it and hope you guys too. 🎉
maybe they could change the name to BRAWBOX
It is undoubtably an outstanding platform to build your ultimate video rig from. It is a bargain.
if you compare this style to the pocket style design, this is far superior
The banding issues on the Cinema 6K at 3200 still makes me rather nervous to go all in on the Pyxis. Even though the rolling shutter can be cleaned up in Resolve, the Broadcast G2 kind of beats it for now till people start getting their Pyxis for review and we will see from there.
ZCAM F6 has open gate 3:2 6K raw at higher frame rates, ProRes and H.265, 4K 120p, 15 stops dynamic range, more lens mount options, internal NDs for PL and EF mounts. Much more camera for a similar price to the PYXIS
The important news from BMD isn’t the PYXIS. It’s the 2 flavours of URSA Cine. They will certainly be contenders for DPs who shoot Alexa/Venice/Red. Amazing specs on paper. If they truely can achieve 16 stops of dynamic range then they will shatter the current high end cinema camera market. The 65mm 17K model could be the biggest leap forward in digital cinema cameras since the original Alexa killed celluloid
oh I agree with you, but I can only make one video at a time…. the red one killed film, at where I came up, then the alexa took over
@@EntrNmHre make a video with your thoughts on those URSA Cine models. Not only do they look like fantastic cameras, but the entire BMD ecosystem surrounding them appears phenomenal. They are cutting through the clutter of media storage, proxy creation, offline workflow… for cinema this is significant time saver
on it now, will release tonight
No XLR. No internal ND. No Autofocus. Get the FX6.
If thats what you need, the FX6 is a great camera
Needs 4k 120 fps.
Other than that. Finally.
maybe this could be added as a firmware update… its got to have some serious bandwidth with two cfexpress cards???
While the price is the main draw, what its missing is glaring. Those hyping it up without experiencing it on a paid shoot may find themselves regrettably coming back down to Earth. I believe DM will take the tempeture of this offering and use the feedback to create the future Pyxes Pro that should have build in ND, shoot in ProRes, 14 stop range, 4K at 60 or even 120fps and 14 and maybe even 16 bit internal recording. With those upgrades, those hyping up the price of the Pyxis will also hype up a $4K to $5K price.
Im not sure if the price of a pro version would jump up that much, the Ursa 12k dropped to 5999 at one point….and I dont think Blackmagic design would want the Pyxis line clashing like price wise. But who knows….balckmagic is running their own race now.
The Pyxis will easily overtake the Pocket Cinema cameras in terms of sales and popularity. The Pyxis has far greater mounting flexibility options over the Pocket Cinema Camera body style and its more professional box-style form factor will gather more respect from clients and other video professionals... rather than walking-in with a photography-style Pocket camera. Blackmagic has already stated they didn't want to add the NDs to keep the form factor as small and compact as possible. Pyxis will easily end-up being Blackmagic's number one selling camera, and with that they WILL have upgraded versions in 2025. It's a great time to sell-off your Pocket Cinema Camera to get into the Pyxis ecosystem this summer and then your Pyxis gear options and third-party options will be ready for an updated Pyxis version in 2025!
I have an Ursa Broadcast 6k that I don’t really use for broadcast (only straight filming), so downsizing to the Pyxis makes a ton of sense from my point of view. I can see this on a Tilta Lightweight Shoulder Rig with a follow focus (or even the DJI LiDAR system) for a run and gun setup that will be much easier on my shoulder. Strap a cell phone or hotspot to the side and you have instant proxies to the cloud for super fast turnaround such as with trade show and conference coverage. My pre-order is in. I can’t wait to get a closer look.
If rolling shutter is bad as on cinema 6k you better stick with ursa
yep that DJI lidar on this will rock.
have to wait and see
It shoots only raw, so to be honest it doesn’t seem the right camera to cover events or broadcast. On a shoulder the screen would be quite an impediment, I imagine getting in contact with your face quite a lot.
@@ThomasCristofoletti The CC (which I shoot now on my shoulder) is 3” wider than the Pyxis and has the cables sticking out the side. The new design will stay out of my ear quite well by comparison, plus the quick access buttons are more readily available. Now it’s certainly not a hard core broadcast platform, but for quick turnaround social media postings from an event, it would work just fine using the proxies which can have a baked in LUT. But the lack of ProRes could be a problem for some settings where you need to do a direct media handoff. I don’t do those sorts of jobs very often however, and if needed I can always rig in a VideoAssist and get the ProRes that way.
Mmm..same sensor 6k full frame of the pocket but now you need a external monitor and it could have been smaller as it is the same camera of 6kpocket..no nd filter..
I think it would also be a good future proof camera with it being 6K.
So if there is no pro-res it forced you to shoot huge files in raw right. That is a big difference in file size. Am I right?
Not having mirrorless mount like E-mount is disappointing. Same with no internal NDs
yeah I think the L- mount alliance signing months ago would have quashed that
buying one
I do not think you will be alone there, thats for sure.
What about build-in ND?
Get a POCO and adapt the L mount to PL, solved.
BM is going to sell a ton of these.
yep
Is it just me or does it look like a Panasonic AF100?
ha! yes the image in the picture does - if you squint
Is the UHD signal sent out by the PYXIS SDI 8bit or 10bit? If it's 10bit, I would think this would be a decent enough to record via an external monitor, no? This would give ProRes workflows a chance in using this system, right?
Thats a very good question about the Pyxis….
I’m really curious to know if the Replay Editor controller could be useful for a regular Video editor, non-broadcast/live situation, but more about multicam video editing…
Possibly, I cant see why not - the speed editor ended being used for a lot of stuff that wasn't intended by BMD.
It honestly looks like a better prospect as a starter camera then the pocket series.
I wonder how much longer the pocket line will continue to exist?
Wonderful camera except its missing autofocus..... Yes i know there is lidar but lidar dies not have eye detection, so many times it seems slightly off focus. I think this camera is perfect for low budget films but with no autofocus many people will not want to use this camera.
Buying one for sure!
these are going to sell by the truckload.
@@EntrNmHre 1000% as they should!
I hope the camera has a faster sensor readout than the BMCC6K in Open Gate.
yes this is something a lot of people are wondering….
Not what I had in mind. I was hoping for something more along the lines of a well thought out camera with functional features like a SDI or HDMI, port at the front of the camera that will allow for a top mounted video monitoring.
Maybe BMD will release a video assist (non-recorder) touchscreen monitor that will work via the front mounted USB-C port and allow for you to access the menu. That alone would have me excited about this camera.
Interchangeable lens mounts would have been extremely nice. This would have allowed for 3rd party mounts with filter insert capabilities, but no. They didn’t think of that unfortunately.
Finally I am disappointed that we don’t at least get 120 fps in 4k. I would have settled for 100fps and been happy, but again nope. Black Magic had the chance to make the perfect camera and instead gave us Yet another big screen on a camera that simply did not need it. That screen real estate could have giving way to dual XLR inputs, genlock and other features.
Panasonic BS1H is only $2,500. Dual ISO, full frame, SDI and HDMI out, and it's tiny. So yeah, I think it comes pretty close. The Blackmagic, being a Braw only camera, is a non starter for me.
I would agree with that, BRAW’s great, but PRORES is more widely adopted industry standard codec for fast workflows.
Yeah - DJI Focus pro comes to the rescue.
I would love to try Ursa Cine 12k with DJI Focus Pro.
Well that makes two of us...
All I wanted was Ursa mini sensor in smaller form factor, so I can use it on DJI RS Pro.
I hope they’ll consider putting the ol 12k sensor in this new body
great idea
Could the USB-C port at the front be used with a regular monitor with a USB-C to HDMI cable?
I dont think so yet, but some one will make a conversion box...
@@EntrNmHre I can run my mac display on my little Portkeys monitor with just a cable. I wonder if it's using the same protocol
maybe, if you try it out let us know for sure
3:25 LOL. Just leave it rolling for eight hours nonstop...that's possible now isn't it?
I once had a director on a set of docu style TVCs for a big box brand have me shoot handheld for 22 hours straight - I even ate my lunch while standing, camera on shoulder recording interviews. We only stopped to change media cards, and batteries. We never stopped for water. So yeah some people / companies will milk you like that. I got paid very well….
@@EntrNmHre ...................................is that even legal?
brother…..my back was jacked for days…but yeah in OZ, that stuff happens all the time. First the producers got us to 10 for 8, then 12 for 10hr pay - then you end up raising your rates, and before you know it your making so much money in a day…..you just do it.
Does it have any ibis?
Good question, short answer is no, but the camera does a gyro that records camera position data which can really fix the unsteady shots inn post. And it works very well.
The could you put a Ninja on it be a monitor and record Prores ?
yes you could or a video assist...
for 3k, you do Not get a lot, you get an expensive starting point.
Amazing product for the money, however the monitor is useless for a lot of shooting requirements. Need a monitor and can’t adjust settings as easily as the pockets. BM nearly made a perfect camera.
fair point...
Wait? It has HDMI? I couldn't find any actual intel on this...
Only comp right now (box camera in the price range) is the Panasonic BS1H. This blows it out of the water though. Love my BS1H though.
Whats the BGS1H four years old now? Man it's such a good camera.
Panasonic needs to bring out a box style Varicam. Realistically however, don't think we'll ever see another Varicam again, but I'd kill to see them do it.
@@EntrNmHre yup. 4 years. I wish it had the new autofocus like the s5 ii
@@ThisIsLeeBird get the new lidar from DJI its seriously incredible…and you can put in on any lens with any camera combo you want … plus its cheaper than a camera
@@EntrNmHre I have the PD Movie Smart Air 3 one that does it also. I’ll get the DJI one with this new camera though. PD Movie one is a little bulky and not as sleek looking
The Pyxis will easily overtake the Pocket Cinema cameras in terms of sales and popularity.

I believe you would be on the money
Thanks for sharing, I think people who want Auto Focus will go to Sony which has one of the best Auto Focus!
I agree with you and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that choice.
The future wouldn’t come with 6 year old sensor… just saying
oh I get you, no offence taken, the title is more about the design, I think the pocket line will disappear now, this is BMD way forward. But the sensor being 6 years old, this I would like to know more about….?
Game over.
possibly
Really really disappointed in this model.
They are using an old sensor with limited DR, and how come there's no inbuilt ND filters? Theyve changed battery type, but theres no V mount option, no interchangeable lens mount, no AF and no IBIS, no prores, no hdmi port, and the words worst screen placing!!!
Honestly this is so disapointing.
Id of paid 5k if this had the above!
They had a chance to smash the market, but scored an own goal instead!
You have some fair points….but no camera is for everyone. Im interested to know if you are in the market for a new camera, which one you will now buy since the pyxis 6k has let you down so badly?
@CineChimp I am in the market for a replacement for my battered S1, I was really hoping that this blackmagic might offer me a chance to move to Blackmagic, but unfortunately it's a real letdown (imho) it looks like I'm staying with panasonic and getting a S5iix, but I'll hold off for a couple of months as I hear there may be a new model coming next month.
I have a sneaky suspicion that an s1hmk2 is coming and if they ad some of the great features from the s5mkiix - would be a fantastic camera.
the price is compelling... but I have no need for such a camera... I'll wait for autofocus
TAKE MY MONEY
what about sigma fp
Oh yes, now thats a very underrated camera
The future is here? You mean lousy rolling shutter, bad dynamic range, terrible in low light? Do you think that’s the future…? Get a clue and buy a Sony camera. The FX 3 or the FX6 will blow this camera away in every possible category.
if you say so captain
There's is always going to be this comment.
This camera is basically global shutter with the gyroscope
@@captainobvious7449 oh yes, why do always forget this, funny what you take for granted after a while….
If you have anything to complain about this camera with the exception of the image that come out of it then you need counseling from a real boxer like Mike to get your head right.
hahahaha
This is the future? Bummer. No autofocus, no image stabilization, and no internal NDs in this “future”. 🫤 … sorry, this is very .. meh.
it’s not for you then, move along
Think of it like this, accessories are a far better investment than over paying for a jack of all trades camera. Gimbals, lidar and NDS can go on any camera. I get your point, but the future comment is directed towards the change in body style, and switch to higher resolution FF multi-format sensors and how that has permeated throughout 2 BMD camera segments (Ursas and the new Pyxis). The future meaning, BMD wont turn back now - the pyxis this is the future of their affordable camera line ...
I really don't understand the logic behind lamenting not having internal NDs, internal ibis, and autofocus. If adding these things brings the cost up to the same amount as getting these things externally and adding them to a camera rig in a form factor that we've been begging for in order to rig it, then isn't it the same thing? I don't necessarily understand why have to spend the money inside the camera to pay the same amount outside the camera; and if we have been using cameras before the release of this one, shouldn't we have almost all the accessories we need to make this camera work? It just doesn't make much sense as an argument.
exactly
I think there is a work around for all that stuff you don't like. But where we do agree is autofocus.... Once lidar has eye detection I won't care about autofocus anymore. From my experience lidar seems slightly off because it misses the eye.
