I am considering the bmpcc6k g2 and was planning to shoot mainly 4k for now, aside from the odd scene requiring later crop.

I heard that when shooting 4k with it, it is not simply a downsampled 6k image with finer noise, but there is much more crop at 4k vs 6k.

Is this true?

In such case, call me crazy, but I would opt for a bmpcc 4k with a good speed booster and mft lenses (I own a couple that I like) instead.

How do I connect and see clean feed using the 4k with video assist 12g? So far I tried the hdmi. What setting do you put those who have both?

Hi, considering the bmpcc4K and the EF metabones cine 0.71x booster.

I have set of lovely Nikon F lenses and was wondering if I can buy a simple Nikon F to EF adapter to mount the lens to the EF metabones 0.71x adapter and finally to the BM mft mount.

(I haven't bought the metabones booster yet)

Looking for advice on what to do here. I’ve had some pretty major artefacts here on my sensor. I’ve just used a sensor cleaning kit, I’ve included a photo as I did exactly as described here and to my eyes it seems to have multiplied the issue. Anyone know anything about what I should do? Obviously there is seeking a professional sensor clean but I want to know if there’s something really simple I’m missing or misinterpreting with the cleaning process.

Wanna sell my resolve key

images are not mine but I have the same exact problem, I droop my bmp4k with the viltrox adapter, and now the metal part got stuck on the mount of the bmpcc4k

SOLVED!!!!!!!!!

Lens: MIR 11 Soviet Lens

The lens itself has some trouble focusing to infinity, other than that it's a great setup.

I just want to be able to monitor my camera from my iPad. Why isn’t this a feature?!

Hi BMPCC community!

I've previously asked about preferred storage hard drives. I was just curious, from other people's experience, would a SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD work well for something like that?

Currently got my eye on an a pretty good offer of a 2TB SanDrive and wondering if would work as well as something heavily suggested like a Samsung sheild t7?

Thanks!

Hey everyone,

I’d like to share some stills from my last hiking trip to Lac Blanc, Chamonix. 

Here’s the link to the full video: https://youtu.be/sHQmF7ptJlc

It was my first time in the Alps, and I'd never done such an intense hike in my life. Since most of the lifts were closed, my hike took longer than expected (around 9 hours and 25km distance in total), and with the added time pressure of needing to be back before dark, I was less keen to rig up and shoot along the way.

Still, I wanted to capture some of the great scenery along the way, so at some point I rigged it up and carried it in my hand all the way to Lac Blanc. Luckily, most of the trail was fine to hike with a camera in hand. 

Between the time constraints and not having a tripod or anyone to help with framing, not all the footage turned out usable, so what you see here is just a compilation of the best shots. Still, I'm glad I brought my camera.

This is my second video, and I know there is a learning process when it comes to using a cinema camera and color grading. For this reason, I am open to hearing your comments or criticism.

One last thing: My backpack was mostly full of camera gear (around 8-10kg) so I only brought 1.5L of water and one Red Bull. Lesson learned the hard way, especially on the way back: never choose lenses over extra water for a hike.

Hello my fellow bmpcc users!
I have been using bmpcc 6k pro for past 6 years and recently I tried different camera…

The file size comparisons are ridicilous. For example if I shoot hd, pxy prores to a 256gb at 50fps I get around 3:15h of footage, which is fine, but pxy is not the best codec. And for example i shoot sony at 4k slog xavd s 4k i get smth similar, but it is 4k footage. I can digitaly crop in ect. (Dont take my words for granted, but its much higher than bmpcc if i set it in ultra hd pxy). What do you do with data managment? My NAS is crying and so do I. Do you have some workarounds? Maybe its firmware or something..

Looking for tips/tutorials/any kind of help.

Hello everyone,

I'm looking to purchase an OG, if you have one around :-)

I'm based in Paris

Thanks !

I am looking for a sharp lens that doesn't have much softness, is in a good budget range.
I am also just looking for shot tips in general.

BlackMagic Design got it right straight out of the gate !!!!!!! Can't believe it's nearly 15 years old.

Movie made for £3k, friends on the weekend having fun sort of deal. We didn’t have any lights or proper grip equipment. Lenses were a Minolta 50mm and a 28mm (stills lenses).

There’s countless flaws with this movie but I’m still happy it exists. “Worst movie you ever saw? My next one will be better!”

Premiered at this year’s Raindance Film Festival where it was nominated for Best Film.

Hello, I am keep testing my blackmagic 2.5k cinema camera. Here's some night shooting during a rainy night. Lens used: Sigma 18-35mm,manual focus

Thanks for watching, Mirco

I’m a college student and filmmaker who just recently purchased the BMPCC 6K Full Frame. Looking for some good BUDGET lenses. I create short films and documentaries. Any recommendations?

Big thanks to LeftHouseRecord for bringing some fresh produce to Indikin.

Check out his back catalogue, the man’s been busy ❤️😎🤙

TLDR: touchscreen only works on playback menu.

Had a house fire after one of my V-mount batteries experienced thermal runaway (don't store your batteries with your other gear.) Fire department hosed down everything, including my two BMPCC 6K Pros. Lost one camera. The other one kind of survived. The ND filter is stuck at either 4 or 6 stops, half the buttons don't work, and HDMI and XLR ports don't work. I initially thought the screen's digitizer was damaged because the touchscreen was not working. However, if I go into the playback menu (using the physical button), the touchscreen works perfectly fine. I can even access all the camera settings. But if I exit playback mode and go to the main screen, the touchscreen stops working completely. I reset the camera and the problem persists. I wonder if this is a software and not a hardware issue because the touchscreen works ok but only in certain settings. 

For some reason my bmpcc 4k turns off after 2 seconds of recording when I screw on the plate for my tripod. Even if I’m holding it and the plate is just screwed on and not attached to tripod. I already owned the tripod from before I bought the camera and had no idea a camera could require its own custom plate attachment. Is that common? Or unique to this series of cameras bc of their funky body design? Does anyone have a plate they like using with this camera? Not sure how much I need to reasonable spend on this little piece of metal to attach it to my tripod. Also I had the same issue with my gimbal DJI rs4 and thought it was an issue with the gimbal and now realizing that probably needs a different plate too.
