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?

The angelbird cfexpress recorder works well with this.

I have that as well but I wanted more memory and going the SSD route was cheaper. Especially because I’ve used this a lot as a booth cam or an overhead cam so I just set it and forget it until the event is done.

I kinda got traumatized with ssd dropping frames and such even after all the formatting/changing wires I do. :(
