Correction. The lens adapter I use and recommend is actually the 0.71x which you can find here: bhpho.to/2Ft8A7P NOT the 0.64x like I say in the video. Confusion on my end resulted in the mistake. Sorry! I don't want anyone to get the wrong one. Yes the 0.71x is the one I use in most of the shots in this video and it works great but it does vignette slightly with some APSC lenses. Still it works. The 0.64x will ONLY work with full frame lenses.
Strange that you dont mention the much much much cheaper Viltrox ef-m2 instead of the Metabones, since you are always so budget friendly.... It gets very good review everywhere. Oh and if an adapter vignettes with SOME apsc lenses, its likely the lenses fault. I would go for fullframe lenses anyway, since you then always stay in the centre of the image circle, which is always the sweet spot, even on cheaper lenses.
@@TomAntos so the camera can take photos? That would be great for me, even if it's not "the best photo camera". I could not find any info about taking photos with that camera
Nice video and the beautiful grading !! I wouldn't call them problems though, more aspect that can be improved. People have so much to say about this camera haha. Been using it for 4 months now and still can't find a better camera for that price. Cheers
@@TomAntos >"I now barely even touch my RED or URSA Mini cameras." Blackmagic has to know this is a trend - I wonder what they're gearing to do for the next 10 years.
Thanks Mr. Antos! :D what i really appreciate in your videos and productions is that you both deal with low end and high end equipment equally and you always manage to find the best affordable solutions for your fans and viewers, keeping in mind all it’s shortcomings and benefits.
Tom, ur an EXCELLENT artist, and the delivery in ur vids is second to none, i rarely ever do this, but i shall be slipping a few quid to ur patreon account.
Hi Tom, Huge thanks for the video! These fixes are an immense help. Just invested in the BMPCC 4K after binging on _hours_ of youtube videos and sorting out 4K v. 6K v. 6K Pro. I'm a dinosaur from the Canon EOS 5D MK2 and MK4 era.. this is my first venture into a dedicated cine camera. Truly looking forward to the learning experience - this pushes me out farther on the learning curve. Many thanks. Cheers, mate!
Great information! Funny to see you actually demonstrate what not to do (plugging in and out with camera on). Good stuff! Hopefully we see more from you.
Loving the last tip with the fotocamera! Haha how can anyone complain that, with a little bit of thinking about that. Again appreciate for your recommendations. Like them a lot.
Tom Antos Haha oh man that’s ... well let’s say funny. It’s so much better to have a camera specialist in just video or just photography. I have the 7R2. And it drives me crazy to switch all the settings from foto to video or opposite.
Great Video you are the best. I have a question What about autofocus or focusing in general? I heard in this camera autofocus is really bad. Can you do a video about How to focus BMPCC 4k?
This is a weird and self centered comment but I had a strange sensation when the video showed that small town. I immediately knew it was Jim Thorpe, PA. even though I've only been there once and that was about 12 years ago. Nevertheless, I had zero doubt it was that town. I googled Hotel Switzerland (which I don't recall seeing when I was there) and that confirmed it. Memories are strange things. That's all; sorry for the diversion. Oh and great video. Thanks.
you didn't mention about autofocus in this camera which is a major factor too. its absolutely not useful I believe and now I bought it. would appreciate if you can give some tips on focusing problems.
Hey thanks for linking my video with the work around for the SSD issue. Could have dodged some criticism by not unplugging with the camera on. Obviously don't do that 🙃 Loved this... Talking about issues and actually providing help/education is the way forward! My tip for lack of Ibis is to use a tripod ;) Good work!
Hi Tom Great video but you didn't mention another problem with the BMPCC 4K is that it appears to be made of unobtainium as i cannot find a stockist in the UK that has these in stock they all seem to be on pre-order with no estimate of delivery. :-(
Tom great video. These are all the same issues I came up with in my last video. But audio is one you didn’t mention.. my solution was just getting a gh5s 😂... btw I’m surprised the wasabi batteries have been working for you as they show random percentages for me and shut off randomly. Which particular ones are you buying?
I got them from Amazon same as the link I provided. I also got the bundle of 2 batteries and charger. For audio just get the mini XLR cable to full XLR and use a pro mic. The camera records great audio.
The Young Travelier You must be thinking of Dynamic microphones that don’t supply their own power. Condenser mics such as shotgun mics, work very well with the P4K.
Awesome video, thanks! My new BMPCC4K arrives in Feb and thanks to your video here, I will be prepared to solve these problems in advance! Great job to you and those other folks! :0)))
Tom - Q1) I noticed you were using your monitor on your gimbal. Doesn’t the HDMI cable running into your monitor from the BMPCC4k interfere with the gimbals balance? Q2) What are you using to attach your monitor to your gimbal? Thanks.
1- Nope because the cable is very thin and flexible. Also the gimbal is very strong. 2- It's a generic friction arm I got on Amazon. I recently purchased a much better arm from SmallRig that I will show in a future video. The new one is a lot more sturdy.
thank you for your nice video with nice information, please make a video about how you can best focus on the BMPCC 4K for example with the DJI follow focus motor
Tom how about using Atamos Ninja V instead of Freewill? Also for a shallower DoF why not use native MFT like Voigtlander Nokton 17or 25 mm f0.95. These lenses provide amazing results with GH5.
Hi, I'm Bainson from Ghana. Huge fan of your videos. Please I noticed some smudges on my bmpcc4k camera sensor glass that won't come off no matter the cleaning method used. It looks stuck on the glass. I first noticed it during a shoot last month when I was shooting at a fstop of 5 or higher. There will be some black spots all over the image, but when I shoot at f-stops 4 down to 1.8, it doesn't show. I initially thought it was the lens, but on advise of a friend, we checked out the sensor and realised the issue was actually on the glass in front of the sensor. I don't know what to do about it now. I'm going to email you images of what it looks like. Any recommendations please?
Correction. The lens adapter I use and recommend is actually the 0.71x which you can find here: bhpho.to/2Ft8A7P NOT the 0.64x like I say in the video. Confusion on my end resulted in the mistake.

I’ve had my BMPCC4K not “see” the SSD, and the solution for me, oddly was to unplug my HDMI cable, and power cycle the camera. Once back, re-attach monitor cable and all is good. Do you always shoot in Film and add a LUT? What’s your favorite LUT for this camera? Thank you - your footage and info are great as per usual.
you can use Tamron VC stabilization with Viltrox EF-M2, also brings the F2.8 to F2 which is very useful for low light. Here is how to get Tamron VC working with Viltrox : ruclips.net/video/H63FGIM-HbE/видео.html
Hey Tom! Very cool video thank you for posting. I was looking for the Came-TV cage you have on the BMPCC but can't seem to find it. Any links? Thank you sir
Hello, I have a question, I just get a blackmagic pocketcinema 4k, and the time code of the camera was 11 hours, I mean maybe someone used my camera before me for 11 hours, but the camera was brand new with real new plastic wrap, is it normal condition for this camera? I mean the timer is like this or my camera is not brand new? I really appreciate if you tell me your point of view Regards
Great video Sr. Thank you for sharing ...I am actually looking forward to buy this specific camera and appreciate all the information you packed into this episode... Cheers from Mexico!
Nice video I want this camera I hope by summer. If there was actual video done with one of those canon lenses I missed it. I will look through your other vids to see if there is some.
Sorry to say I saw some footage and including footage here . where the brights are blown out. that says to me not great dynamic range. I'd like to see a video on comparisons of dynamic range of this camera and others.
Well done Tom, I have the same problem with the Samsung SSD not being recognized most of the time. Hopefully addressed within the next firmware release, but a royal pain.
those of us who follow you speak Spanish, I would appreciate it if you put the subtitles in Spanish, also a program that shows us how to record movies with this camera
thanks, very usefull video !! I see you have both panasonic 12-35 and a rokinon cine lens. I already have a pana12-35 and wanted to get a rokinon cine ds 35, did you find it to have a better quality / cinematic look ?
noticed the 'surprisingly' poor image quality (look top left at the distant tree branches) 7:12 - if quality is your highest priority I think sigma A lenses with a SB are a better solution than the MFT equivalent. Thanks for the video.
Great video!!! Definitely subscribed. I'm between the bmpcc and the gh5s for a cinema/wedding setup. Planning on putting it on a glidecam and using a speed booster. One question, I understand that there is vignetting with the . 64 metabones adapter when using a lens like the Sigma 18-35 1.8, but would adding cinematic black bars on the top and bottom of the screen in post essentially hide the vignetteing? Or is it safer to go with a . 71? Also what is your preference between the black magic and the gh5s? Thanks!!
Hello Tom ,thanks for a great review. I have a question about the dummy battery .I bought CORE SWX powerbase Edge and came with Dummy battery short Cable like just the one you talk about.And thats the only connector it came with for the BMPCC.So now seeing your video i am scared to connect it.Which cable should i use if the dummy is not good for the Camera.? Pls advice thank you
never understood the purchas of xeen lenses. There are lenses that cost $300-$400 that are optically better than this pretend cine lens. Is it just to have the cool wrapper? a classic zeiss 85mm kills this lens.
Hi Tom, in a few days I will be shooting a theater play with the bmpcc4k. Do yo have any idea how to set a similar function to "Full Auto Exposure" or at least a way to avoiding the exposure jumps of the auto-shutter-speed function? Thank you. Regards from Argentina
Fantastic video Tom. Really appreciate your tips and suggestions. Thanks so much. What about Matt Box and high capacity drives for longer storage recordings?
Hello Tom i follow your channel and your great revues. Sorry for my "english", i'm french, but i would like ask you : where did you find the piece of métal between the moza and the bmpcc ? Is this allow to change the battery without getting out the bmpcc from the gimbal ? thanks a lot. best regards. Lionel
I have a question when I try to focus I get this red outline reflective look Like a red outline at night and if I’m in a room with light. How can I fix this?
Tim I'm a bigginer film/photography/actor/dancer/singer/writer. And you've tough me so much with everything you do, my favorite film of you're is "Actors life" and I have always been wondering about what equipment I should get you've helped me so much, but the only thing is I have a tricky budget! I have about "250$" so do you recommend anything to me? I love you and you're one of my favorites!!!
I have a gh5 and a bmmp4k but literally the only difference between micro and 4/3 is the room for a penta prism the size of the sensor is the same and the everything so idk what ur talking about crop with gh5. Makes no sense. Here’s an exact definition. image sensor of Four Thirds and MFT measures 18 mm × 13.5 mm (22.5 mm diagonal), with an imaging area of 17.3 mm × 13.0 mm (21.6 mm diagonal), comparable to the frame size of 110 film.[3] Its area, ca. 220 mm2, is approximately 30% less than the APS-C….so get your facts straight
I got the metabones 0.64x with the Sigma EF-S 18-35mm f/1.8 DC HSM Art lens and it seems to have around just as much vignette as in the footage you showed so I'm wondering why you say it the 0.64x only works with full frame lenses.
Great review, thanks! Im new to this, i like to buy the 4K version but have no idea what kind of speed booster ond or what kind of lens i must buy for it to have the greatest image color and quality! What would you do? Preferably a lens with image stabilisator. Thanks in advance.
Never trust advice from somebody who recommends buying holding batteries to run a cinema camera 😂😂 LPE6 are only to be used for swapping out modular batteries. Black magic even tells you that the LPE6 are not meant for recording.
Hi Tom, you recommend the 12-35mm Panasonic lens, but there seems to be a lot of videos and posts relating to the distortion. Max Yuryev on his channel shows some pretty alarming results. ruclips.net/video/C3wo7wCR7Ac/видео.html Have you experienced this issue and if so, how do you correct for it. Thanks
1:43 I buy a bunch a Wasabi batteries for the BMPCC and I wouln't recommend them. They might be cheap, but they don't last long. They last less than the original BMPCC battery...
You seriously don't need a speedbooster, people get to hung up on that. The camera is already a great low light performer and there are plenty great lenses for M4/3 and otherwise you can almost adapt any lens to M4/3. It's definitly not true that you can't get shallow depth of field with this size sensor. Plus it saves you 650 dollars! :)

I concur with the tripod tip. We need not fear the locked-off shot.
Yes, I agree with you. People need to rediscover the tripod....all we see these day's is gimbals, gimbals, and more freaking gimbals!!!!

Great video but you didn't mention another problem with the BMPCC 4K is that it appears to be made of unobtainium as i cannot find a stockist in the UK that has these in stock they all seem to be on pre-order with no estimate of delivery. :-(
I looove the color grading !
Great Comment Tom. Some people want to use devices for things they were not designed to do and then Surprise Surprise! Scold them!! Good job!

I got them from Amazon same as the link I provided. I also got the bundle of 2 batteries and charger. For audio just get the mini XLR cable to full XLR and use a pro mic. The camera records great audio.
What audio issues are you having? The audio I've been hearing from this camera using the mini xlr port sounds really good.
@@jaceleroy402 Noise... anything above 50%. Also preamps aren't very powerful on it hence having to turn it up.. basically high noise floor
The Young Travelier You must be thinking of Dynamic microphones that don’t supply their own power. Condenser mics such as shotgun mics, work very well with the P4K.

only for taking photos

are those batteries not rechargeable?

Tom - Q1) I noticed you were using your monitor on your gimbal. Doesn’t the HDMI cable running into your monitor from the BMPCC4k interfere with the gimbals balance? Q2) What are you using to attach your monitor to your gimbal? Thanks.
1- Nope because the cable is very thin and flexible. Also the gimbal is very strong.

Metabones is out of my budget. I think imma get the Viltrox speedbooster
having major problems with my follow focus do to the viltrox's less than snug fit

tom do a video on recording audio with the pocket 4k and a video on how to rig the pocket in a gimbal for smooth shoots and audio recording on gimbal
The biggest problem is the battery life. I found a nice way to fix it with a NPF battery plate. Quick & Easy.
Hi Tom - Does the 0.64x speedbooster allow for APSC lenses also or just full frame?
Correction. The lens adapter I use and recommend is actually the 0.71x which you can find here: bhpho.to/2Ft8A7P
NOT the 0.64x like I say in the video. Confusion on my end resulted in the mistake. Sorry! I don't want anyone to get the wrong one. Yes the 0.71x is the one I use in most of the shots in this video and it works great but it does vignette slightly with some APSC lenses. Still it works.

Brandon Tyler Watkins correct
I have a question when I try to focus I get this red outline reflective look Like a red outline at night and if I’m in a room with light. How can I fix this?
Tim I'm a bigginer film/photography/actor/dancer/singer/writer. And you've tough me so much with everything you do, my favorite film of you're is "Actors life" and I have always been wondering about what equipment I should get you've helped me so much, but the only thing is I have a tricky budget! I have about "250$" so do you recommend anything to me? I love you and you're one of my favorites!!!
Can the black magic use Panasonic lenses?
I have a gh5 and a bmmp4k but literally the only difference between micro and 4/3 is the room for a penta prism the size of the sensor is the same and the everything so idk what ur talking about crop with gh5. Makes no sense. Here’s an exact definition. image sensor of Four Thirds and MFT measures 18 mm × 13.5 mm (22.5 mm diagonal), with an imaging area of 17.3 mm × 13.0 mm (21.6 mm diagonal), comparable to the frame size of 110 film.[3] Its area, ca. 220 mm2, is approximately 30% less than the APS-C….so get your facts straight
Can the BMPCC 4k use Sony lens with the speedbooster?
The term you're looking for with the External SSD Not Recognized bit THE BMPCC4K IS NOT "HOT SWAPPABLE" I REPEAT NOT HOT SWAPPABLE.
I got the metabones 0.64x with the Sigma EF-S 18-35mm f/1.8 DC HSM Art lens and it seems to have around just as much vignette as in the footage you showed so I'm wondering why you say it the 0.64x only works with full frame lenses.
Great review, thanks! Im new to this, i like to buy the 4K version but have no idea what kind of speed booster ond or what kind of lens i must buy for it to have the greatest image color and quality! What would you do? Preferably a lens with image stabilisator.
Thanks in advance.
I would recommend people stop using lens IS and get a shoulder rig instead. It gives you a lot more natural movement.
Never trust advice from somebody who recommends buying holding batteries to run a cinema camera 😂😂
LPE6 are only to be used for swapping out modular batteries. Black magic even tells you that the LPE6 are not meant for recording.
Hi Tom, you recommend the 12-35mm Panasonic lens, but there seems to be a lot of videos and posts relating to the distortion. Max Yuryev on his channel shows some pretty alarming results. ruclips.net/video/C3wo7wCR7Ac/видео.html Have you experienced this issue and if so, how do you correct for it. Thanks
1:43 I buy a bunch a Wasabi batteries for the BMPCC and I wouln't recommend them. They might be cheap, but they don't last long. They last less than the original BMPCC battery...
Wait - at 4:00 - which one doesn't work to power the camera? Didn't you do a whole review about how the Feelworld MA5 DID power the BMPCC4K???
Best comment ever! “buy yourself a photo camera” Easy fix😂🤣👍🏽
Hi
With the wasabi battery how long time power the blackmagic 4k ? Thanks
You seriously don't need a speedbooster, people get to hung up on that. The camera is already a great low light performer and there are plenty great lenses for M4/3 and otherwise you can almost adapt any lens to M4/3. It's definitly not true that you can't get shallow depth of field with this size sensor. Plus it saves you 650 dollars! :)
here is an another problem: my BMPCC4K bricked after 7.9 update. any suggestions? I am desperate!!!!
I would probably buy this if it had autofocus, because I am a noob and a one-man show. :o
what cinema lenses do you have?
Too many to mention. But my favorites are the Xeen lenses.
