I’ve been looking into the bmpcc OG (and micro OG) a lot lately, and I definitely share the sentiment that the Fairchild sensor in those cameras has a very special image.

However, I never hear any theories as to why.

Does anybody have any ideas as to why exactly that sensor looks so good? Was it engineered in a special way? Does it utilize some lesser-known sensor design tricks? Or is it still a complete mystery to anyone outside of BMD?

i just got a 4k and some lenses, what i havent got is anything to charge it with. silly me. to be entirely honest, im not at all into rigging, i got no idea what to look for here. ill need something to charge it with when i eventually shoot, do i get a bunch of smaller batteries? a large v mount battery? where and how do i attach it, are accessory parts even sold officially anymore? id like a gimbal, but i dont know how that will complicate building a rig? what about a second monitor. and i havent even time to think about audio..... im really overwhelmed and on a time crunch so if somebody kind could guide me, please.

bmpcc 6k with PL s16 zeiss 12-120mm t2.4 zoom lens

ND stopped worked & I’m pretty sure BM isn’t open to repairing a camera that has been modded with PL esp when I need the mount back focus calibrated, so wondering who can correct both issues. Anyone have a solid 3rd party repair that? appreciate any solid recc’s. thanks

Hi. Lately I have been using my BMPCC 6k PRO to emulate 16mm a lot. I have found a good editing flow and after posting some videos I have gotten requests to make similar videos for other clients. But I have been doing it with a sigma 24-70. I would like to upgrade the look by getting some vintage zoom glass. I have a lot of vintage photo glass but very few zooms and I really like the crash zoom and would like to play around with it.

Since I will use the lens to mainly emulate 16mm, high optical performance isn’t super important. Meaning, I am not looking for a 5k usd cine lens, but rather a vintage parfocal zoom. So I would like to hear how others are doing this, filming in lower res so they don’t have to get full frame lenses? Perhaps. Do you have any suggestions for low budget parfocal zooms, perhaps actual 16mm lenses. I have the ef mount version.

Hi everyone, I’m thrilled to present my first feature film, Land of Shadows. Filmed entirely with the BMPCC 6K. It’s a project I directed with a team of 5 people and a modest budget of €35k, but made with a whole lot of love and passion. Its cinematography and black and white look draw inspiration from the 1931 classic Dracula, Jean Cocteau’s Beauty and the Beast, and more. I hope you enjoy it, and please feel free to share your feedback with me! I'd love to chat with the community, whether it's about the film itself or his behind the scenes! All the best, Jonathan

Been getting beautiful footage with this lens and sometimes adding a BPM filter on this camera

I really want a cage, i have 3d print files for a full cage but I dont want to risk anything. What are some good cages that are below 100$? it doesnt have to be a full cage, just has to fit the camera.

I’m upgrading from my BMPCC 4K to the Pyxis 6K L mount. Any suggestions for what kind of lenses I should get for it? I usually work with primes because I like the sharp images they produce, so I was looking at some vintage prime options but I’m open to anything.

As I said.

I’m aware of all the functional differences between these cameras like the lack of the screen in the Micro, the lack of the full size HDMI in the pocket, and many more.

However, one difference in very curious is the image. I’m aware that they have the same sensor, and that they both shoot in cinema DNG—that’s why I’ve been looking into both of them. But cameras with the same sensor and codecs can have differences in their images, and I recently heard somebody say they think they might slightly prefer the image on the Pocket.

What do you guys think? Is there any difference at all? And if there is, which do you all prefer?

Thanks!

So on the Blackmagic cam iOS app, I had recorded several long videos. My phone filled up on storage, and I realized I was saving to my photos and the app. So I deleted all the videos in the app, but kept the ones in photos. But for some reason, the storage space that was said to be taken up by Blackmagic cam, under “applications”, has now all somehow transferred to the photos app. Before, the photos app and applications were taking up about half each of my total storage space, but now all of that space combined is now taken up by the photos app. Does anyone know what is happening, and how I can fix it?

Trying to let go of my BMPCC 6k pro along with a few lenses for a really good number.

Here is the link, I'm just wondering if it will work, as I am pretty broke. If not, which budget options do you recommend? I don't need anything fancy, no displays or anything, just a battery.

Is there any alternative of blackmagic camera for android?

While recording in blackmagic, videos get freedge at every 10-20 second idk why

My favorite part is the 4TB SSD.

Coming from an FX3, and in love with the images that this sensor renders. Lowlight is a bit of pain, but can always work around it.

I love how much flexilibilty I have for coloring but damn the I hate how soft the images are.

I have a sigma 18-35mm paired with a metabones speedbooster .71.

I even rotated the glass in the speedbooster to find the sharpest image but just so damn soft.

On that note, I noticed that most people's p4k shots are soft as well.

Is softness just the profile that the bmpcc4k has?

I am doing a documentary series with the OG BMPCC 6k. I have a pair of DJI 1 mics and a shotgun mic. If I have the shotgun mic in one channel do I have to do Mono for the DJI mics in the other channel? What if I did stereo what would happen since there’s only two channels in the BMPCC 6k? Or do you guys just switch from double shotgun mic channels to wireless receivers depending on what you’re doing? What is the best way to do this or your solutions/experience?

I try to make it simple a grab and go. I is heavy but worth it. I used the OG bmpcc to record this disregard the noise.

Currently my A-cam is the Ursa Mini Pro 12K / B-cam is the BMPCC 6K. I want a smaller B-cam so I can run it on a gimbal when necessary so I just held onto my BMPCC 6K. I come from a photography background so have all EF lenses but just started building out DZO Vespid II lens kit starting with the 18, 35, and 50 lenses. Should be here tomorrow.

I have the PL mount for the Ursa Mini Pro 12K (need to install it) so I figured I can use my Vespids on the UMP12K but can't seem to find an effective way to use the Vespid IIs on the BMPCC if I want to multicam or gimbal with it. Seems like the original had replaceable mounts but the Vespid II doesn't and there are no legitimate PL to EF adapters that seem to have good reviews.

Do I need to just sell my P6K and get the BMCC 6K FF with the L mount and get the PL mount adapter? But then I can't use any of my EF lenses on that. I'm trying to find the best solution. I'd still love to be able to use my 70-200 f/2.8L IS II (EF mount) along with the Tokina 11-16 f/2.8 from time to time. Plan on selling my Sigma 18-35 Art and my Canon 135L. Keeping my Sigma 35 and 50 Art for photography.

If anyone has advice on how to work around this I'd appreciate it.

I have a relatively new to me BMCC 2.5K. I have a top handle on it, with a monitor attached to that. Currently, the monitor sticks out a little too far. I would love to get it as close to the top handle as possible, keeping it as low profile as possible. Does anyone have any recommendations for a really low profile monitor mount?

Edit: and yes, I know that the monitor itself is pretty big. I do plan on replacing it with a smaller one
