    00:00 📷 Two-year review of Blackmagic pocket 6K Pro: Highlights and considerations for potential buyers.
    1:44 🔍 Viewfinder and accessories review: Useful in sunlight but not essential; accessories like battery grip discussed.
    3:04 🔋 Battery grip experience: Provides extended recording time but adds bulk and inconvenience during battery changes.
    4:42 💡 Importance of battery quality: Recommends using Blackmagic branded batteries for longevity and performance.
    6:36 🛡 Build quality: Plastic unibody construction with added protection from camera cage; durable despite lacking waterproofing.
    7:10 🌐 Internal ND filter: Highly praised for its convenience and versatility in various shooting conditions.
    8:52 🖥 User interface: Commendation for Blackmagic's intuitive UI compared to other camera brands.
    10:23 🎥 Camera quality: Continued satisfaction with RAW shooting capabilities despite newer codec options available.
    11:10 ⚙ Desirable changes for future versions: Requests for a more compact body style, swivel screen, and improved app connectivity.

  • @zechenwei1139
    @zechenwei1139 Год назад +4

    Honestly I don't really get the idea of wanting this to become a "box" style camera besides it may look cooler.. you will HAVE to rig it up for handheld, unlike what the 6k pro allows you to basically use it as is. and if you need to rig the camera up for larger shoots, what is the difference between the current style and a box? you would still need to use a cage for both.

    • @initialfocus
      @initialfocus  Год назад +1

      A lot of it has to do with gimbal compatibility. Pocket cameras are notorious for not balancing properly on many gimbals due to the awkward size and weight distribution. Box cameras are much better at this. Plus you wouldn’t have to rig up a box. Look at the Komodo. At a side handle and clean monitor on top and you’re done for a basic setup.

    • @initialfocus

      Crane 3S is no where near a BAD gimbal. It’s just older at this point and doesn’t have all the bells and whistles some of the newer DJI gimbals do. But I will say for heavier/bigger setups there is NO sub $1K gimbal that outdoes the Crane 3S. I loved mine, I just didn’t need the size of it anymore

Btw the RED Komodo, Ronin 4D, Canon cinema cameras are all options of professional grade cameras that have AF. I’m not deceiving anyone….

I kinda feel good holding it, when it doesn't look like a small photo camera and with the tilting big bright monitor right on the body. All the wins. The perfect handling especially with the cage where the ssd mount is by default.

    Agree on the batteries - I’ve bought a number of different brands and I was surprised how they do not perform equivalently. The Blackmagic batteries outperform the cheaper options every time. You get what you pay for applies very much.
    I have the Tilta cage (I’m all in on Tilta) and focus grip which houses a 560 battery - this gives quiet a few hours of runtime.
