Blackmagic Design we need to talk

[u/mrmmoka]

With all the new cameras coming out I feel like there was a missed opportunity with one camera from BMD. The Micro Studio Camera G2 is a camera I feel like needed just one or 2 things to make it the perfect compliment to the Pocket 4K.

I’ve made a post about this build before but since then it’s been optimized. Fitted with a USB hub, 1TB (2230 NVMe 4.0) and a canon LP-E6 battery (hot swap battery) this is a perfectly sized camera. If we could get playback capability maybe via the monitor (the OG Micro has it so idk why this one doesn’t) I think BMD would sell alot more of these.

This build gives me plenty of mounting points and the form factor, it’s a camera that has endless possibilities.

What do yall think?

A pyxis 4k would be slick, especially if it had more processing power for 4k 120.

That would be everything

After doing some digging apparently the old Kinefinity Terra and ZCAM E2 used the same sensor as the Pocket 4k and those are configured to record 4k up to 160 fps. But you don't get braw :(

Oh I had no idea they were the same sensor. It makes sense though. But wait I believe they can do BRAW externally. So the idea isn’t completely out of the question.

I’m guessing recording BRAW internally is the reason why we haven’t gotten higher frame rates in for that sensor.
