I think people aren't being thankful enough for being handed a gorgeous piece of hardware that can shoot RAW footage and even offer the option to record straight into a SSD card! #BlackMagicDesign has done a wonderful job here and I appreciate that. Nice review, the footage looks amazing.
You're so right, I understand why people are a little skeptical given BM's past but in a few months if the results are what we've seen so far and there aren't a plethora of problems that people start running into, this camera is going to be absolutely huge. For the price, nothing compares to it.
You are right, most people are never satisfied and that is part of who we are and how we evolve.
I think it’s an amazing camera and the definitely killed it right out of the gate. I think this camera is borderline perfect. The only thing I would change is maybe articulating screen. Doesn’t have to flip around but at least tilt. I do a lot of shots low to the ground and would love a tilt screen. Can’t wait to get my hands on this and will probably have to get a monitor for it
Nothing can beat this image until 5000 cameras.Great video.
Thank you for great review and the lovely footage. Great image for this camera.
The internal microphones sound so very good. I’ve loving this camera more and more as I see more tests done on it.
Really great Hands On Review and some beautiful shots! One of the best reviews I’ve seen so far 👌🏼
Well Done!! nice video with very good footage,, Lots of great info and nothing beats real world examples..going to check out your other videos right now
GREAT review. Thank you! I appreciate the rolling shutter bit!
This is the best review about the BPCC 4K that I could find. Awesome!!!!!
A cinema camera for all types of shooting conditions at only $1300. Can you really ask for more? As a filmmaker, this is a dream come true.
Can't really argue with you there Marquis! Thanks for watching. KH
for 20-30 min, till the battery dies
Great video, great footage!
Love the shots. Great and fun to watch review. Good job brother
This camera is a GODDESS, i cant wait to put my hands on it!!!
Beautifully shot Kriss. I like the "thickness" of the image on the wood craftsmen scenes, I like the color grade you gave it.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching! KH
Beautiful images and great review
Excellent & comprehensive review many thanks
Just got my hands on a pocket 4K and this is one detailed and cinematic review of the product. I appreciate the effort of this video. Subbed!
the visuals is just insane
This is a great review! Detailed, honest, non-partisan and relevant. Thank you!
That's great to hear. Thanks for watching man! KH
brilliant review, thank you!
Great footage and overview!
Thanks, nice run through.
IMHO. This is the best looking image quality for under $10,000 USD. Maybe there aren’t some of the perks we like.
But at the end of the day back at the editor if you nailed the shot its going to be a good feeling.....
Great choice on the background music, not too distracting.
Wow the rolling shutter is very very nominal - thanks for doing that test!
thanks for the review,good job
Thanks for this video. Can't wait to try this bad boy !
Great & informative vid, thanks!
Best review ive seen so far on this camera. excellent.
Cheers Nathan, thanks for watching! KH
The Blackmagic menu system is absolutely beautiful.
Great review thanks!
Holy crap, that on board mic is pretty fantastic considering your location and the wind etc. I'm seriously floored at the quality.
absolutely beautiful filming, super relaxing and enjoying to watch just subscribed
That's lovey to hear. Thanks for watching and subscribing! KH
Very nice video!
Got some dust on the fan from that wood caving shoot :) NIce video mate!
Great shots.
Nice quality review :)
Thanks for your video, enjoyed watching it.
Thanks for watching! KH
This camera is fantastic
great video I like your presentation style. Very informative video. GG
Nice video. I notice at 9:20, looks like adjusment layer cut before clip cut :)
Great! Thanks!
Great image
Thank you very much for your honest review. Now am stuck between this camera and the G85
i love it.
"What more can you ask for in a filmmaking tool?"
Exactly. Very impressed with your breakdown, now just waiting to get mine! Also, looks like you missed the end of your clip with your adjustment layer at 9:18 :P
Lovely thank you! I love the simple OS on a touchscreen; such a relief to use when on location. If a reviewer had the time and the suit, It would be great to see something a bit less beautiful such as a boring corporate talking head outdoors against the sky - the daily grind of most shooters I know!
Lovely grade too, (and actually useful to see that couple of frames of ungraded towards the end :). ).
good work mate :)
Hi Kristian. Nice short review, thank you :)
you're welcome. Thanks for watching! KH
this is an excellent balanced review. The sample clips are some of the best I've seen so far coming out of the BMPCC-4K. A couple of fuzzy tapes will reduce the wind rumbles and audio distortion significantly - that is if the operator forgot to bring the pro audio capture system. As for comparison to DSLRs, just because this camera has the DSLR form factor it shouldn't be compare to DSLRs. IMHO, the form factor is the only wrong thing with this camera. Had BlackMagic, stuff all these feature in a rectangular(ish ) box, they had a much better reception. This is not a DSLR - BlackMagic Pocket Cinema Camera is a Filmmakers' camera.
That audio was pretty good...
I agree and the wind resistance is not bad especially being fully exposed. Wouldn't use it for professional use obviously but in a pinch or if it's the only audio you have, it's quite usable.
Put a little fluff in front and you're all set
Hello, Very nice capture, the camera looks amazing in video quality, great review. what lens do you use with it, for the documentary, it looks very nice
Those were the internal mics? God damn!
How good the IS is when you shooting with the Lumix 12-35 2 with IS turned on?
Second question, do you think there is a need for using Olympus PRO series lens to get a better looking image (do you think so?) and a better manual focus experience (do you think so?) ? If that's the case, then the only Olympus IS lens is the rather big 12-100 4 PRO. I'd definitely prefer the Lumix's 12-35 2.8 and Lumix 35-100 2.8 simply for their portable size and weight with IS feature.
Thanks, it's a great video!
Like what you did with this camera.
I'm surprised by how good the internal mic sounds when you were outside. Did you clean it up in post?
Hey Kuunami - No, that's the audio straight from the camera! Thanks for watching! KH
The entire audio just from the cam, you speaking outside in the field. That is quite amazing. I kept looking for something you have pinned on...
I own one and can attest to the great audio quality!
@@WexPhotoVideo bought bmpcc 4k but internal mic is very inaudible..and after increasing the gain to 100% it gets audible but with heavy noise. how is that your audio is so much clear .. any special settings? or is my Unit faulty ?
A smallrig cage, external mic and a external monitor is the way to go with this one.
Great review !! Just I wonder, What lens did you use to shoot the footage in 60p & 120p ?
Hi, in a few days I will be shooting a theater play with the bmpcc4k. Do yo have any idea how to set a similar function to "Full Auto Exposure" or at least a way to avoiding the exposure jumps of the auto-shutter-speed function? Thank you. Regards from Argentina
Finally a good review of this product.
Q: i'm still a bit confused on the 60p RAW loseless recording. would that be possible only on the internal cfast 2.0 or also on the external SSD?
Recording that only on Cfast would raise the memory $$$$$ a lot.
I've already ordered the camera and this just make me more sure of my choice.
Clear, techincal not too much and really good shots take of the 2 artists.
Thanks for the good review!
Love the video. I also love the luts, Do you sell them or can you point me in the right direction to purchase them?
Hey what microphone did you record the audio on for the first scene where you are holding the BMPCC 4K (using the GH5S to film), is this the GH5S onboard mic?
Also, for the narration of the video, what microphone did you use?
Thanks!!
can you drop a link with raw footage you shot (just a few clips)? that be cool to have a look at
Thanks for posting this. I really like what I'm seeing from this camera. My concern is data rate. A lot of what I do is event and wedding videos, or corporate interviews and promotional videos where I'm capturing a lot of footage. I use the GH5 now and usually shoot in 100mbps or 150mbps, and that's a lot of data, but from what I gather the Pocket 4K, even in ProRes, is a much higher data rate. I'd love to know more about practically how that works for you. I'm torn between getting a couple of these as B-Cams (or even A Cam) or a GH5s or two to fill that roll alongside my GH5, and the cost of Hard Drives is definitely a consideration.
If high bitrate is an issiue for your workflow ... just use ProRes LT. I believe it uses 400 Mbps at 4k and 100Mbps at HD.
If you are using 4k and not using atleast 150 mbps you are doing it wrong anyway but ... if you realy need to go that low you can use ProRes Proxy. Thats closer to your bitrates.
cool camera
Thanks Kriss. This was the first time I have heard someone giving us sounds recorded by the BMPCC 4K. It sounds not bad given the wind conditions. What Codecs and media did you use to record with the camera?
Can you tell me what camera and lens you shot this piece on? Also looks great.
Hi! i have a question, are u using some special lense in 8:05 video, or are recording with the lense comes with the camera?
2:04 Yeah! Manchester
Great review. can I use my micro 4/3 lenses with this.
I wonder about those air vents. What happens when dust is sucked in and begins to clog up the thing? Can you open it up and clean out a filter of some sort? With that guy and his chain saw did you suck in a pile of sawdust that needed cleaning out?
Hi Kriss! Nice presentation you did there!
I personally already have enough collect information and features about BMPCC capable of, and I don't doubt about it.
So, about the battery life..did you really get 50 minutes battery life when you shoot the video? If YES, do the resolution preferences affect the battery life?
(e.g.)
At 4K RAW you'll get 45minutes
At HD RAW you'll get 55 minutes
How is the 12-35 lens manual focusing? Is it smooth and easy or is it flyby wire and finicky?
Is it me or this camera makes every video look better on YT? Looks almost like lossless!!!
I want to record in 4k 60fps in some clips and some clips in 24fps with the samsung T5 500 witch is raw 3:1 or prores 422?
Thanks for the video. When I look at the footage you shot, it seems quite good or even better than original BMPCC. It's the same organic film look. OR even better. Pls share your thoughts.... I was actually thinking of buying original BMPCC for that look but I think BMPCC 4k already has it....
Great video - just wondering, you mentioned you like to shoot mostly handheld. What did you use for this video? Some of the shots are really smooth, was that all handheld or where you rocking a gimbal etc? Cheers
Hey - No gimbals used, just a small tripod for some locked off and panning shots, and then the rest handheld. I did, however, use a slider for one or two shots. Cheers for watching! KH
can i use the original bmpcc metabones speedbooster on this 4k bmpcc without the body interfering?
Will my metabones speed booster still work ?
This guy is really good at B-Roll...
Great review! Small question.
I like the look of the scene with the knife sharpening a lot.
This reminds me to the previous bmpcc. With the other shots, the look of the footage is more 'video' and less cinematic I find.
Did u use another LUT for this scene or any idea how this is possible?
Hey, No its the same LUT across both scenes. It was only a super quick grade as I wanted to get this video out asap. Given more time i'm sure you can get a more 'filmic' look from the day time scenes. Cheers for watching! KH
Those internal mics sounded better than my rode videomic pro plus did in outdoor recording, damn
Hi, I'm falling in love with this camera ... I want to buy it ...
but I have some doubts
I have lenses with Canon EF mount
1 - What do I lose if I use adapters? image clipping? aberrations? focus? touch focus?
2 - can I record with this camera for one or two hours continuously, like a normal video camera? (obviously with banks of batteries and large hard drives) but the camera would support that?
3 - the touch focus works while the camera is recording?
4 - If I can not use my lenses with EF frames, what lens do you recommend? that give me quality and price
blessings from Guatemala you have a new follower from here
This is a really impressive camera. I would like to know which lenses were used to shoot this footage.
Nice channel btw.
All shot on the Panasonic 12-35mm F2.8. Thanks for watching! KH
From filmmaking standards do you think bmpcc 4k is good for a intermediate or would a Sony A7sii or GH5 will be better?
What lens were you using for your shoot of the wood carvers? Sigma 18-35? It seemed pretty versatible, or were you using primes?
Cheers, nice video.
Hey, I used the Panasonic 12-35mm F2.8 for everything. Cheers for watching! KH
hello Mr. thanks for the review. Do you know if this camera can record paralel to internal cf/sd and to and external drive? or maybe same time to sd and to cf? just thinking about the safety of shots.
I wasn't able to do that, so I'm going to go with a no unfortunately.... Thanks for watching! KH
Nice visuals!!!!!! But how did you get the 1080p 120 fps so clean and clear? I have seen footage from this camera at 1080p and it was horrible..... Was the 1080p in windowed or HQ?????
Hey, 1080p was windowed as that's the only way to get 120fps. There was plenty of light, since it was shot outdoors, so I think that helps a bunch. Thanks for watching! KH
Can i use a USB C hub if i wanna use a SSD and external power battery. Memory card's expensive and at the same time the battery is not powerful.
Lovely and informative! Subbed! Right now, I'm between this, the GH5S, and the EOS R (I own a lot of Canon glass and also do photography). If you had to choose, which would you go with?
PS It would be my b-cam. I already have a GH5 as my A-cam.
Hey Justin, glad you enjoyed the video! If it's primarily for video then I'd opt for the GH5S especially more so if you already have a GH5 (i'd use the GH5S as your A cam instead),. I'd go with that camera as its got so many more features/qualities that make it a more well-rounded filmmaking camera - assuming that you're fine with not having a full frame camera. If you NEED to have a reliable autofocus, in fact, the best IMO, then go for the EOS-R. Thanks for watching! KH
Audio it's pretty good I have to say. Obviously the other thing is the spech 😀
what about the vents? It is possible to get dirt and dust inside the camera through them? It is my deepest concern
@illstrumentals and how you protect it? I have never shot with cinema camera, only with dslr and hybrid cameras.
Hey Pablo - Yes it is possible. Like Illstrumentals has mentioned you do need to just think about it and try and take care of it. When I was filming with the chainsaw artist there was lots of small pieces of wood flying at the camera - no doubt some bits will have gone in, but no issues so far. Thanks for watching! KH
In my experience with cameras that have vents, I've never had a problem and have filmed in extremely dusty environments. I don't think you need to worry.
Hello, how is manual focusing on 12-35? I’m interested in this camera but I’m having hard time to decide between this lens or the nikkor primes. This lens looks really good but I wonder is the focus degree long enough for manual focusing. I’d appreciate if you can answer. Thanks for the video
Hey Virginia, I only really shoot with manual focus (unless i'm specifically showing of the AF for a camera), and the same goes or this video. I think the 12-35mm F2.8 is a lovely lens and makes for a nice combination with the BMPCC 4K - I wouldn't hesitate purchasing it (again) for video use. It's my main lens on my GH5s also! Cheers for watching. KH
Wex Photo Video thank you very much. At the moment I have an FS5 Atomos Shogun inferno but I’m not able to get very good results with it. I’ve watched your video about FS5 before but exposing with this combination is still a mystery to me. I purchased Daug Jensen’s FS5 master class, watched Alister Chapman vidéos but still... I think big part of my problem is that I’m still confused by atom hdr. I love fs5 and shogun inferno but considering switching to this camera. I wish I could learn how to properly expose fs5 with inferno. Then I’d stick with it. Anyway... thanks again. Great videos.
Is you drive works with 60fps 4K DCI DNG lossless?
Great film! Question, what did you film this video with? Canon camera? Thanks!
He literally says everything was shot with the bmpcc 4k....
3:35 - I heard you can't record RAW to the SSD...? There are a couple rumors out there about that... like, none at all and one says you can't do 4K 60 fps only. Do you happen to know which is accurate?
What lenses were used?
hello did that G drive worked Raw lossless 60fps???
thank you
He said his G drive worked flawlessly at all formats. th-cam.com/video/utkAoMy_Hlc/w-d-xo.html
Im sorry but nothing is fast enough because the port itself is not fast enough to do 60p loseless raw, I have heard that they can handle 4:1 raw for bursts of time
@@nicholasboule5134 It seems like you have a hard time listening or reading... The video said ALL... ALL meaning ALL... Smh, people really do listen to only what they want to listen to...
since most cinematographers shoot in 24fps in more curious if the camera can record 4k lossless raw at 24fps; with short bursts at 60fps or 120fps in scaled 1080p for slow motion shots
Wakko Warner yes it can... It has the high frame rate button that allows you to do just that
Paired with BMPCC4K, the barrel distortion from Panasonic 12-35 is horrible. Yet the distortion in ur footage is almost unnoticeable. How did you cope with it? Lens correction in post? Zoom in a bit? OR???
Quite the bargain, footage honestly looks pretty incredible (not sure if you graded or not, kinda looks that way). Can the Sigma 18-35 be mounted on this with all of it's potential in use, or will it be a cropped image?
I've heard it'll vignette on the 18mm end.
I am thinking to buy it but can I use it with a Ronin M??
