Great video! Would love to see a comparison in battery life between the other pockets (true vs claimed numbers as well) and how long the battery grip lasts.
Will do, I also want to do a comparison between original BMPCC, BMCC, BMPCC4K and BMPCC6K pro at some point. I also have a few Bluetooth things lined up so be sure to stay tuned
Blackmagic says the camers can record 'two separate audio tracks' but as I understand it, the menu is the same as the other pocket cameras, with just two channels to route the mics to...? That means just one stereo track, no?
Álex Montoya technically yes, though you can separate the stereo track in Davinci Resolve to have two completely separate audio tracks. Works good if you have one XLR for one LAV, and another XLR for another Lav, you can edit each audio source separately as two tracks
I’m from Australia, and BMD is Australian too, so I imagine that’s why we were able to get our hands on it pretty quick. I’ve heard countries like America may not be able to get it until maybe next month or so
@@GimbleProductions I hope it's not even longer than that, I've finally ordered my first Blackmagic and would really like to see how it compares to the DSLR world I'm used to.
Caravan Movies I’ll give that topic a try, though I don’t particularly own any super wide lenses to do a full video on it so. I WILL try and give it a shot, so stay tuned and hopefully I will get something like that uploaded
It's a canon ef mount. So any lens with that mount. Tons of wide angle lenses for EF mount. Just keep in mind It's a super 35 sensor so it will never be as wide as a full frame sensor.
@@GimbleProductions This is what I want to know to. How lond does the in-camera battery last. And then all together. And it would be good to know if you are using all Blackmagic NPF570 batteries or different brand as capacities seems to differ
Mikołaj Jordan As I understand it, no. The battery indicators don’t show that the camera is charging when the grip is in use. However, the camera can charge all three batteries at once if plugged into the DC adaptor
@@GimbleProductions Thanks, I'll check it out. Well if that's the case it's pretty stupid and hopefully something that can be changed in a firmware update or at the very least it should be user selectable. The internal battery should only be used when the others are depleted. This way there is ALWAYS a full battery in the camera until you have no more charged batteries left.
I have a battery grip charging question. I just recently began using my new 6K Pro Camera. I initially charged the NP-F570 battery that came with the camera. The record light came on red and stayed red until a full charge. Then went off. Today I attached the battery grip with two new NP-F570 batteries and charged. It started out a steady red and then turned to an alternating red and white. I read about this happening on another BM thread but it did not seem to resolve the issue or suggest what to do. I then turned on the camera and all three battery icons show white and appear to be charged. Is this just a fluke of this configuration when charging, or is this a problem I should follow up on? What has been your experience? Thanks!
Could be the brand of batteries you are using - I tend to charge my batteries outside the cam itself using a battery plate though. As long as it’s functioning okay, you should be set! I would say between 1.5hrs - 2.5hrs should be a full charge duration for reference
@@GimbleProductions The batteries are all Blackmagic Design NP-F570 batteries. The camera, batteries and grip all came from B&H. Thanks for your reply. I very much enjoy your videos!
@@fatar9075 the Blackmagic branded ones are the best ones I would say, I too gave battery indicator issues at times, but I still get great power usage from the grip. That’s why I would suggest getting an external battery charger without percentage indicator, just to be a more accurate charging reading 😁
@@fatar9075 To be fair, I use a third party one from Amazon - quite cheap with a battery indicator. Might be better quality options but it’s done the trick for me for years!
Great video!

@@GimbleProductions OK, thanks for the quick answer
Nice black on black product shots!
nordfresse Thanks man, I’ve never done an unboxing before so plenty to improve on but I’m glad about how it came together. Thanks for the support!
Great, satisfying unboxing!
Thanks!
Sweet!! Any idea when this camera will ship? I want to get it but I don’t want to wait too long hopefully...

ok then tell me about lens options ....specially if I want to shoot wider shots .

@@godboy159 Ok thank you so much for your kind information.
can we take still photographs ? please confirm. I am about to make a decision on this.
You can take still snapshots, however, you can’t play them back in camera or see what they look like
How does the battery grip compare to Kinoarmy Cine-X's grip & can you even use that on the 6K Pro?
Awesome video dude
can you make a comparison video b/w the low light capabilities of FX3 and 6k pro
Sadly I don’t own an FX3. I will do a low light test though
The battery grip has also 2 mounting points for tripod?
Denis and Maggie Yes - PLUS anti twist holes
@@GimbleProductions thank you!
How long does the new battery last?
Brady Martin Just the individual battery or the full battery grip? I’ll do a video about it tonight!

How did you get one?
Is the battery in the Camera charged by the battery grip?
Mikołaj Jordan As I understand it, no. The battery indicators don’t show that the camera is charging when the grip is in use. However, the camera can charge all three batteries at once if plugged into the DC adaptor
@@GimbleProductions does it use the batteries in the grip first?
GODBOY Funnily enough, to me it looked like they drain at the same rate. I uploaded a camera battery test video if you want to watch it

It doesn’t come with a lense?
No

What's the crop on each modes ?
In order for it to be RAW it has to be windowed, therefore this Crop shouldn't effect PRORES.
1.558x for 6k
1.692x for 5k
2.4x for 4k
3.388x for 2.8k
6k is always 1.558
@@Will-Osi So prores 4K is with the 6K sensor right ?
Subscribe !! please make more videos about 6k vs 4k crop area ( how much zoom 4k raw ) battery life, 6k vs 4k raw file size.
