    BMPCC 4K Final Thoughts
    Incredible raw camera
    Great dynamic range
    MFT sensor can be solved with Speed Boosters
    Affordable
    Very lightweight
    Needs rigging
    Monitor is fixed
    Auto focus is pretty bad
    No stabilization
    Battery life isn't very good
    Overall a fantastic camera for filmmakers but not very runandgun friendly.

    I am so glad you did this. I value your perspective. I have operated a RED on a feature film, but cannot afford one. When this came out the spec's really impressed me. I believe watching a film shot with a RED, and then another shot with this, the audience would not be able to tell the difference. For the price you cannot beat it. I would LOVE to see a video on the rig.

    I started shooting with the BMPCC4K about 3 months ago and I absolutely love it. I also use the Sony A7iii but nothing beats RAW so the Sony has taken a back seat for video work. Most of the videos on my channel were shot with the BMPCC4K if anyone wants to see test footage and broll before buying this camera. It’s definitely a lot of work to get the footage edited and graded and I’m still learning but so far I can’t recommend this camera enough.

      @curtisjudd 5 лет назад

      @@TalimaPictures Hi sikeela, the 3.5mm input acts as an input where you keep the timecode generator connected through the entire shoot. So this means that as long as the Tentacle Sync or any other TC generator is accurate, you're good to go. This is not a Jam sync input.

    more and more work arounds to make it fully functional on an individual basis. At this jump in price point the BMPCC 4k is a dream come true. So Yes, Caleb anything more you can add on this camera

    Bought the camera to rig it and replace a Red Raven/C200. Amazing on set with some v-locks, smallrig parts, 18-35/50-100, metabones cine, Easyrig minimax, Nucleus-N, and a Bright Tangerine 138 with two polarisers to make a large vari-nd, Lilliput 5.5” cross converting monitor. For those codecs and that quality I find it the best run and gun setup I’ve ever used, menus are so easy, codecs and now the raw is incredible, straight to SSDs, dual isos, LUTs and false colour, great easy audio. Enjoyed your course btw 👌

    • @MartinBleazard
      @MartinBleazard 5 лет назад +3

      studiodevis tough, it does work out similar once rigged, still a bunch cheaper obviously with the Blackmagic, but you can build over time and how you like and it has more separate parts obviously. For a cam that you can just pick up and shoot, the C200 is incredible, the NDs, form factor, autofocus (if you use it) is unbeatable. CFast media and that codec can screw you though on set and in post, but the image is delicious and almost worth it 😂 however its not set friendly in my opinion and cfast is still expensive. The Canon 8-bit to SD card does seem to hold up though. BRaw and prores are more media and edit friendly, using samsung ssds is amazing. The call I made was the Blackmagic, and Im loving the image and dual iso a lot, adding in LUTs is super cool as well, and it feels simpler to operate on set, menu wise. Would rent both if you can before you make that call, but Im super happy.

      @@MartinBleazard thank you very much for the quick reply. I have 2 C100 and I filmed with C200 2 times. Fantastic camera but expensive. I can't rent BMPC in my area (RO - EU). Not available yet. So I dll video footage for BM site and the it looks stunning, especially skin-tones. I love Canon color science. Another world compared with Sony and Pana but BMPC is super cinematic. So as a C200 owner you recommend BMPC?

    • @MartinBleazard
      @MartinBleazard 5 лет назад

      studiodevis if you like the C series ergonomics and don’t want a camera “build” with mattebox, ND filters,rails, v-lock etc. the Canon is the way to go, pick-up and go, great color and audio. For me it comes down to purpose, the Blackmagic fits what I do slightly better, I keep mine built up like a cinema camera so its always ready to go. But if you can manage the Canon media workflow and storage its an incredible camera, if you need autofocus, will crush it. The C200 is my favorite camera of last year but just based on price, the pocket 4k is unbeatable and always useful to have around, its image is also amazing, cinematic and skintones on point. You won’t regret either tbh, you’ll just pay back the one a lot quicker and spend less on cards and media storage.

    The .64 XL metabones on M43 gives you a APS-H crop.
    Which is a great crop factor to deal with!
    (Technically APS-H ranges from 1.26 to 1.29 crop factor,
    and M43 with the XL 0.64 = 1.28 crop factor.)
    APS-H is bigger than APS-C. (ranging from 1.5 or 1.62 crop factor)
    And APS-H is bigger than Super 35 at a 1.39 crop factor.
    But smaller than 'full frame' 35mm at a crop factor of 1.
    So for those of you concerned about the M43 sensor, I really wouldn't worry, with the XL its very close to a full frame look in terms of depth of field and field of view. (plus you get 1.5 extra stops of light with the booster.)

    • @abdurrahmanmoustapha
      @abdurrahmanmoustapha 5 лет назад

    • @biscuitsalive
      @biscuitsalive 5 лет назад +1

      Abdur-rahman Moustapha no there’s not. (To my knowledge)
      I have full frame cameras and M43 with the .64 booster.
      The difference isn’t much at all.
      Occasionally you wish your wide lenses on FF were a tad wider on the booster/m43. But rarely.
      And depth of field is very very similar too.

      biscuitsalive thanks for the answer, actually I don't mind the crop too much .. I shoot with 5D MK4 cropped 4K and it's not that bad for my work .. using the 16-35 L is enough for me (for wide shots), and as long as the metabone will give me an APS-H crop then I'm fine ! I can not wait to get this camera and test it out myself ! it still not available yet !

I love that it sits underneath the camera and adds weight like you mention is needed to do any handheld. The battery pack has an adapter that slides right in with a dummy battery. Adorama is also bundling the camera and Powerbase right now for $170 off.

    Very good review. I bought one of these when they were announced and invested in a v-mount, a cage etc. It is a big step up from my Canon 6D in terms of picture quality, but takes some getting used to - before I was accustomed to throwing my clips right into Adobe Premiere, now I have to do some post-production/grading in Davinci Resolve, but the results are very good so it's worth it. It may actually be too much camera for what I am using it for, but I have it now, and glad I made the investment.

      @MitchLally 5 лет назад +1

      ProRes standards are all in the white paper - Proxy, LT, Standard, HQ are all 4:2:2 while ProRes XQ is 4:4:4 - and then obviously raw doesn't colour subsample.

    thank you for the review. I shot a small corporate video yesterday as I am starting out, with a gh5 camera, speedbooster, 2 batteries, a small table tripod, a fast lens and a kit lens (+lights, audio, etc.). There are 3 things that I think are lacking (most) in my gh5 setup and where this camera system shines: 1)shooting with higher iso 2) xlr input for quality microphones 3) internal prores 422 and raw recording. But if I would use it shooting a small corporate video, these things are problematic: 1) battery life (I hear everyone complaining about it) 2) no internal stabilisation 3) no autofocus. Therefore, it can only shine if I would connect and balance a gimbal/ tripod system, attach a cine lens and battery etc. and handheld use, while it is ok with gh5, can become very jittery with this camera. This brings the question: is there a camera anywhere that has all this features? ibis, good high iso, autofocus, internal prores 422, xlr input, great battery life? and if not, does any camera at least combine ibis, good high iso, autofocus and great battery life?

    Totally insane! It's insane that for the most booked and wanted professional camera of the century they've built such a production that it's only releasing 1-2 models each week to each of the very few shops that they're working with and that people are waiting MONTHS to have this new Blackmagic!
    Also, they totally stopped the production for a month in January.
    This is a huge issue, but of course the only people who could give real visibility to it (the RUclipsrs with lots of subscribers) don't even know about it, as they're the only ones treated decently by Blackmagic for obvious reasons.
