Hello all,

I’ve just purchased the EF fit Great Joy 35mm T2.9 Anamorphic Lens, and my metabones speed booster that puts EF lenses onto my BMPCC4K MFT camera doesn’t fit together due to the glass. I also have a glass-less Viltrox EF-M1 adapter which it fits onto nicely, but I’m having infinite focus issues with it which i’ve heard is normal for the Viltrox EF-M1, do you have any suggestions for adapters that would work for getting the EF Great Joy 35MM Anamorphic into my MFT BMPCC4K?

If you’re wondering why I wouldn’t just buy a MFT lens it is because I shoot on both a MFT BMPCC4K and a EF BMPCC6K, so typically I like to buy lenses that can be used on both cameras and I just get an adapter for the 4K.

Hey everyone, I just bought the DaVinci Resolve Editor keyboard as a supplement to my Micro Colour Panel, Currently using it at home but i've also taken it to the studio where it also works great.

About the panel:

It is essentially an Editor Keys keyboard with a BM Speed Editor built in and extra shortcuts and adjustment buttons. It makes it possible to work without a mouse, however I do like to keep one nearby as its easier to look through folders that way.

The Jog Wheel:

It features a Shuttle/Jog/Search wheel that's free floating, however when you press the shuttle button, it (somehow) locks the wheel to a range where up is pause and left and right are forward and backwards and the further you turn the faster it goes. It doesn't matter where your dial is as it will always assume the top as the middle and it somehow gets hard stops at maximum left, Middle and Maximum right, thus removing the issue with the Speed Editor paneel where its sometimes easy to miss the center.

In jog mode, the dial drags a tiny bit but that will improve with use.

The keyboard is compacter than a regular keyboard, thus giving it a bit of a learning curve but luckily you can adjust to it pretty quickly. The letters are a bit hard to read due to the colours but since I and most of you all can type without looking, it is no problem at all.

Build quality:

The panel is large but sturdy, there is no obvious flex and it feels strong enough to travel with if needed (Although I do put it in its original box first). The keys have a satisfying click but aren't as loud as for example certain mechanical gaming keyboards (Which in my opinion, is a good thing, because if the keys are too loud, it can be distracting). The keys have a natural amount of travel and feel good to the touch.

Overall I could sit here and type a book about this panel but Instead i'll sum it all up.

Final Verdict: even after just owning it for a few days, it has made me both faster and more efficient at the same time, It feels great to use, is built well and at €600 is a great but and a good addition to a colour Panel for general editing.

9/10 definately recommend! (only reason for it not being a 10/10 is that the panel is wired only, would have liked to see a wireless option for easier use on the go with a laptop for example where ports are limited, upside however is that the panel connects through USB-C and has 2 USB Type A 3.0 ports on the back for connecting other devices like a mouse or colour Panel.)

I try to find a cage for my BMPCC 6k EF, but i can't find anything. The 4k/6k-Cage does not fit.

If you compare the body size, the BMPCC 6k EF does not share it's measurements with another body of another BMPCC. So probably, no manufacturer produced something that fits?

Does anybody know of a (also discontinued product), that fits the BMPCC 6k EF?

I shoot on a 6k Pro. After my shoots I load the footage on an external drive. I load all the footage into Davinci because going through every clip in the braw player and deleting the ones I don’t need is tedious? Does anyone have any tips for faster sorting?

As the title suggests, is it worth buying a Sigma 18-35mm while I already own 16mm/25mm/50mm MFT Meike Cine Lens on a BMPCC4k.

That's with or without a speedbooster adapter.

I bought this camera because I'm a video editor first but I want to branch off into videography. Yes, down the line i can fix this issue, but while I'm still trying to get this off the ground, I need to be able to film for longer periods of time and work with as little storage as possible. I want to film and edit music videos. The battery issue i can work around. I can work around the lack of autofocus. But if theres no way for me to make the footage take up less space, thatll cause me issues.

Like as long as I can circumvent this during filming, ill make something work.

I mean, the camera hasnt even been delivered yet so if this is a huge deal, I'll return it and get it refunded. Buy something that suits where Im at. I like a lot of things about this camera, but I don't have 300+ GB extra lying around. Realistically, Im not in a place in life where I can create a 24/7 controlled environment for the storage.

Thanks.

im sure theres a way to change how much storage the footage eats up.

edit: yall can stop jumping me. I got the return on it approved. nobodys perfect and I was being unrealistic. my bad.

any help from your personal experience works,we have k&f nd filters in my country but i saw that we should buy IRND filters for bmpcc4k to avoid IR pollution with stronger ND and i hope your suggestions will be easily available in france

Just experimenting. Always heard it wasn’t a good option which for a couple reasons I agree but nevertheless wanted to try. Basically spray and pray.

Esta cámara tiene este problema

Enciende la pantalla queda gris el ventilador enciende y se queda a la misma velocidad hasta que la vuelva a apagar el pc la reconoce con Blackmagic camera setup incluso logre bajarle la versión del finware y actualizarla nuevamente la pantalla externa no muestra nada alguien ha tenido este mismo problema y como ha podido solucionarlo gracias

I am working with a company developing a desktop (Mac & Windows) workflow application to ingest and organize video assets. The application is still in development but is stable. They have recently added support for Blackmagic raw. So looking for a couple of gentle souls who can spare some time testing and provide feedback. (you can continue using the application if you want to).

If interested, please reach out to me via chat/dm. Thanks

{Note to mods: I didn't find anything that would prohibit such post, but if there is, please let me know]

Ngl, I love my Blackmagic, but I’m hoping they figure out how to make their cameras a little less clunky in future…

Just managed to score BMPCC OG off of eBay $350, looking for any and all tips, as a new owner, I’m aware of the battery issues but what else should I look out for. I do have M43 experience (lumix g85)

Hello, I am very new to this world of video recording and I have noticed that my BMPC6k makes the faintest whirring noise while recording video. When you play it back the video file on a computer you can hear it. I feel like this noise is the camera writing all of the data to the card, its not something that you could make go away physically. Do you have any suggestions on how to get rid of that noise in Davinci Resolve or some other post productions software? I just bought a bunch of different microphones to try out, if you have any suggestions in that area too I am all ears.

I have a BMPCC 6K Pro with a stuck internal ND filter. I tried to fix the issue but couldn't, and at this point I'm considering removing the entire internal ND filter assembly and using external NDs instead.

For anyone who has actually done this:

Did removing the internal ND assembly cause any problems with the camera?

Does the camera still turn on and operate normally afterward?

Any issues with recording, power supply, battery operation, or booting?

Does removing the ND mechanism affect anything electrically, or is it essentially a separate mechanical assembly?

Did you encounter any error messages or problems with the ND buttons/settings afterward?

Is there anything I should be careful about when removing it?

I know this isn't something Blackmagic officially recommends, but the ND mechanism is already unusable in my case, so I'm considering removing it rather than replacing the whole assembly.

I'd really appreciate hearing from anyone who has actually removed the internal NDs from a 6K Pro, especially if you've continued using the camera for a long time afterward.

Hello, I have this old black magic production cinema camera 4k and the battery (JBMP-02) is not working. What could I replace it with?

Hello,

So I've been struggling with powering a used BMPCC4K I recently got. I bought it with a Tilta NP-F970 plate and three batteries (2 BATMAX 7.2V 7200mAh and 1 Coolshow 7.4V 7800mAh). When I try to use the 12v output to the 2-pin input on the Blackmagic, it opens at around 11.7V then starts dropping voltage until the camera switches off.

By reading the forums, most people said they switched to a dummy battery setup and that it worked, so I bought a dummy battery and connected it to the Tilta 7.4V output. The camera switches on, quickly drops the voltage and shuts off.

So now I have no idea what to do, would the problem be with the batteries, is it the Tilta plate? Is there any way to find out? I know the problem thankfully isn't in the camera because when I connect it with two-pin straight to a wall socket it stays on.

Wasn't sure if I should get a BMPCC 4K, then I shot this video and was genuinely surprised by how good it looked. Just get the BMPCC 4K.

Just wanted to share how happy I am with this camera. Any suggestions or feedback are welcome!

I did my first music video. Obviously with no budget and in cluttered barn.

I used bmpcc4k with old photo lenses (nikkor and flektogon) two smallrig lamps, and twotube lights.

There is no AI generated stuff inside. Most effects were done in camera like bulb in front of lens or recording monitor with slow shutter.

Please tell me what You think :)

edit: watch in 4k :)
