Red Komodo Monochrome Vs. Blackmagic Pocket 6K Pro

Why not just desaturate your color image for black and white looks on your project?
That's what we did here!
Can you spot the difference between the Blackmagic Pocket 6K Pro Vs. Red Komodo Monochrome camera?

Here is the final commercial I filmed with this camera:

I'm more interested in how the noise looks at higher ISO's. To me thats where monochrome sensors shine is the noise. Shooting at high ISOs at least on monochrome stills camera can look really amazing with the noise(almost film like) not to mention stop improvement in light sensitivity. So of my favorite photos are at around 25,000 ISO.

Thanks. Yea, I wanted to do a more in-depth look at the benefits of using a dedicated, monochrome camera. The low-light capabilities are amazing.
Since the camera's bayer filter for the color channels is removed, those photo sites on the sensor are now repurposed for luminance, making the camera better equipped for low-light.
ISO Tests would have been helpful to see how the digital noise would play on camera.
Another thing I wanted to cover is how you can make the Blackmagic Pocket 6K better suited for Black and White work. In Davinci Resolve, all I did was desaturate the image. If I were to click "Monochrome" or individually adjust the color channels, after desaturating, I probably could have better matched the image.
The Red Monochrome is an amazing, very specialized camera. I believe I rented it from Lens Pro and the rates were pretty good.
