I have the original 6k with a tilt screen mod. I love its smaller size. It gets away with looking like an un-fashionable SLR. And yes, I am a strap user. I have rigged up a strap to connect to a Manfrotto 501 base plate so it slips onto the Manfrotto foot that lives on the base of the camera. So the strap attaches to the bottom of the camera, stays clear of the tilted screen and when taught is an excellent stabiliser for hand holding. Slides off and camera is ready for tripod or gimbal. It also adds to the SLR disguise.
The strap is useful for that added stability, it just needs to be a little longer to have a better adjustable range for more body types and heights. Other than that, your quality of video work and YT content is fire 🔥!!! Great presentation and information here!
You're right about the highlights on this camera. When using color management + Wide Gamut Intermediate + highlight recovery, I've measure this camera to handle 9.3 stops above middle gray. I did a video on this
Thanks! I was just thinking about how most people will just make videos about the latest and greatest and since so many cameras are being released its hard to find videos that talk about a specific camera past the initial review and then they have moved on to the next. Within the last year I moved from shooting with Panasonic cameras (GH1-GH5S) to my first Blackmagic camera and Im always looking for tips & tricks to make sure Im getting the most out of it because it is a shift from shooting hybrid, etc. Im looking forward to the videos you have planned!
About the plastic, and Im gonna nerd out just a tiny bit, but the pocket cameras are made of a (not cheap) engineering plastic called polycarbonate. Polycarb (PC for short) is known for its extreme durability and resistance to shock, as well as its resistance to heat. The only real downside of PC is the abrasion resistance. It scratches very easily. Other than that small issue, it's more than adequate for its role in the pocket cameras as a substitute for aluminum or steel.
Great insight!!! Thank you for leaving this comment 🙌 While it does feel a bit cheap compared to the Panasonic GH series, the Sony A7 series and especially compared to cinema cameras like a RED or ARRI. It's good to know that it's made of a durable and trusted material. I also love the weight, and I'm sure that is due to the polycarbonate. Thanks again for this informative comment!!
Thanks for the overview. I use the p4k but always looking for a reason to upgrade! I'd love to see your gimbal set up in a future video. As someone who shoots a lot of run and gun, gimbals intimidate me so I'm looking to get into using them more.
14:15: They have never given us everything in one camera--by intention! That's the proverbial carrot that is dangled in front of all us us! Hehehe Great review! TY!
I agree with everything but one thing.. you mentioned that this thing worked well even in super hot weather. I have two pocket 6ks but unfortunately it stopped working in hot weather many times. It was just 34 degree outside n the most embarrassing moment when my client got so disappointed with me. I continued to experience the similar situations but I'm still holding on to this cam because there's many things I love about this beast.
Might just be your models I’ve worked a documentary for 5 days on a college drumline they were practicing every day in 90 degrees august weather and not once have it overheat on me
I think there might be something wrong with your camera. I'm living in the Caribbean and film weddings in very high temperatures, My bmpcc4k's keeps rolling during 1 hour ceremonies without any issues.
Hello! New follower here and a beginer filmaker with a BMPCC 6k. Great videos! Which gimbal would you suggest to use with that camera? thanks in advance!!
Great rundown! Having already purchased the 6k and a matt box and filters, there's not enough to make me want to upgrade to the 6k pro. Do you have any thoughts on what the next version of the pocket will be? Or even when?
Hi please help I'm new to davinci and I have a funeral video to edit and when I imported the files they come in random order, I want them to come in order of the time taken or number of the files , how to do it please help ..
I LOVE the 6k Pro. For the price you will not find a higher quality image, 6k slow mo and 2.8k super slowmo is very rare. It really depends on your shooting style as well. If you shoot handheld a lot, you could get a stabilized lens like the Canon 17-55 and with a steady hand you can have the best of both worlds. Thanks for the comment 👊✌️
Yo Bobbie! I would get something wide like the Canon 17-55 which also has image stabilization which helps a lot when handheld... Dance videos usually look better when shot on wide lenses
That would be nice but very unlikely. Only Sony will use Sony mounts. The EF mount is something a lot of different camera manufacturers use but I'm sure there is a some kind of converter for Sony to EF mount though. Thanks for the comment 👊✌️
the super tired "it feels plasticee", if you're reviewing it you should know it's made of carbon composite and that makes it a endurance impact resistant beast! it will hold up way better than a steel body, ask me how i know
Bro! Glad to see you back here!
Thank you @MrAlexTech 🙏 it's good to be back brother

They released the 6k G2 with: tilt screen, Gen 5 color science, better battery, optional viewfinder and more.
So helpful just purchased the pro
I got the pro mainly for the pop out screen, and the nd filters is the cherry on top.
So good to see you man - I always enjoy and appreciate your content 🤟🙏🏻
The 6k Pro looks like a beast 🤟

Nice job as usual. I have a 4K, 6K and 6K Pro. Could not be happier.
Thank you Norman! I appreciate the comment friend 🙌
Your videos are extremely well done, I always enjoy watching them and this channel is extremely under-rated.
Marcel makes a video, I watch. Great overview of the cameras!
Your production quality is on another level! WOW!
Great explanations. I just got the 4K because it fit more of my needs but the flip out screen on the 6K is a big upgrade.

Please do a video on how you color grad with the 6k pro
I love all of your videos man. Keep up the good work .
You're back!
Have the 6K pro as well. Love that camera. It’s a beast 🔥
Sigma FP for the win. Great photos and video. love it and it actually fits in my pocket.

Welcome back!
Would love to see a video of you using the 6K Pro to film hunting and fishing videos
Love your video, great presentation skills and you speak clear and at a nice pace. Did you use that Resolve Studio Key? Let me get it off you lol
nice breakdown thanks

@@reaganpieter it can also be how it’s being rig some cages and accessories be blocking or limiting the vents to fresh air

The video that you did is it a black magic camera that you’re using and do you shoot BR for this particular video?
Nice! I would like to see how you rig your 6k pro. I have three 4k's and I'm looking to purchase the 6k pro.
No stabilization? You mentioned the GH 5, how does it perform compared to the 6k Pro.
People use the strap to help stabilize when using handheld
lense you use?
Can you do a tutorial on how you color grade the 6k in Davinci Resolve
Amazing like always, will you giveaway the Davinci Resolve studio license key ?
do you notice a blue tint shift on the 6k pro, compared to your 6k screen ?
Marcello How does the 6k pro perform with the DJI LIDAR focus system?
Hi please help I'm new to davinci and I have a funeral video to edit and when I imported the files they come in random order, I want them to come in order of the time taken or number of the files , how to do it please help ..
As a complete noob should I get the 6K pro? I know there's a learning curve but the interface was probably the biggest selling point for me.

@@TheModernFilmmaker appreciate the reply. Subbed and I'll look into the lense as no one else recommend that one to me so you came in clutch!🔥💯
What kind of lenses do you use on your Blackmagic 6K?
which lens do you use with the Blackmagic 6k.
nice video
regards from Italy
I am buying this to film a dance video, what type of lens goes well with this camera for dance videos
Yo Bobbie! I would get something wide like the Canon 17-55 which also has image stabilization which helps a lot when handheld... Dance videos usually look better when shot on wide lenses
for people with big pockets in more ways than one)
What's your favorite lens for the 6K Pro for your run & gun and gimbal usage?
Whats a good budget camara for beginners ?
The 6K is 2lb and the 6K pro is almost 5lb. It’s a no brainer. The 6K is the way to go.
Totally agree! I love the original 6K, I am shocked they discontinued that body style. Thanks for the comment 👊✌️
Need them to make one with a mirrorless lens mount. Preferably sony.
That would be nice but very unlikely. Only Sony will use Sony mounts. The EF mount is something a lot of different camera manufacturers use but I'm sure there is a some kind of converter for Sony to EF mount though. Thanks for the comment 👊✌️
Real filmmakers that like very slow sensor readout 😂
if you set it up correctly its a great run n gun, the gyroscopic stabilizing is friggin awesome
I would say if they give US ibis im good..... Autofocus, its not necesary
it has no auto focus ???
no. its a cinema camera.
Do not buy!!!!
the super tired "it feels plasticee", if you're reviewing it you should know it's made of carbon composite and that makes it a endurance impact resistant beast! it will hold up way better than a steel body, ask me how i know
I use a strap with both of mine all the time, it's the only way to go
