Used blackmagic pocket cinema camera 4k
For a small package the BMPCC4K and a native-fit lens with IS seems a good option for people looking for something small and light to use for candid projects if needed. although it obviously isn’t needed in the above shot, we did test the camera handheld just to see how it responded and the difference between having IS on or off was huge. Also a bonus was the fact that the image stabilisation worked really well with this combination. The video clip(1920×1080) above was shot with the Panasonic 35-100mm 2.8 lens and we were really happy with the results obtained with this combination. The video below was a sit down interview using the BMPCC4k as the B camera, focussing mainly on capturing a tighter shot than the A camera, and the audio was captured using the internal mics only (more on that later). The most noticeable aspect of the camera on first use is that, thankfully, the image is sharp and detailed. High contrast lighting at nighttime was a challenge but it was a good test to see how the camera would cope and how it would feel in the hands while operating, as all was done handheld. Below is the first test we did with the camera, while we were in Copenhagen for a shoot we took the BMPCC 4K out for a quick test in the evening at the Tivoli Gardens. Since we purchased the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K (BMPCC 4K) we’ve used it on a variety of jobs including sit-down interviews, b-roll in science laboratories, Christmas markets in Copenhagen and a music video in Manchester, and below are some of our first thoughts about the camera. The two cameras are of course completely different and a comparison isn’t the purpose of this review, however, what really piqued our interest in the Blackmagic Pocket 4K was when it came time to retire what had been our trusted b-cam for many years, the fantastic workhorse the Canon C100. For example, our main camera is the Canon C200 which has more or less the same features as above (minus the ProRes and Davinci Resolve) but costs around five times more (£6500/$8000).

You’ll find other cameras out there that have similar feature list, but if you purely look at what you can get for the same price that’s what makes the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K (BMPCC 4K) really stand out.

What appeals to us about this camera might not appeal to you and vice-versa, so here’s a disclaimer straightaway: this review will not be a detailed technical breakdown of the camera – there is plenty of that already online – but it will be a review of features that we use on a daily basis for our video production company, mainly the video quality, the audio quality, reliability and overall satisfaction with using the camera. In what ways does the camera live up, exceed or fail to meet our expectations?.So with that in mind this Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K (BMPCC 4K) review is going to be centred around two principle standpoint questions: Well as it happens, we’ve been a, b and c on that list: we were curious about the camera, took the plunge and went on a waiting list, and then finally received one. Why do a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K review? Well, I’d imagine that if you’re reading this you either a) own one b) are on the waiting list for one or c) you are just curious about a £1100 ($1400) camera that looks like it has specs way above its price bracket.
