We're Giving Away a DJI Mavic Mini 2!!! Respond to this comment and we'll pick out a winner in the first 6 hours! UPDATE - Congrats to Matthew Collins for Winning The Giveaway!
People forget because they are so caught up in idiotic camera brand fights, that we are so so lucky to live in this day and age right now where we have access so many amazing cameras at such affordable prices and almost anyone now can make something that looks somewhat like the films and shows we all watch and have watched throughout our lives 💙🔥
Absolutely loving my 6k Pro. With the battery grip, it's a totally useable self-contained Cinema Camera that can be used handheld. Pretty incredible for the money.
Blackmagic's UI is really nice on their cameras, something completely underrated. So much nicer than wading through the MMO of menus in Sony/Canon/Nikon!
Great video as always guys! The blackmagic color science, especially with the gen 5 update is insane. Super good in low light too with that dual iso. I need to test this out!
Great Video Gene! My previous company of 18 years died with the pandemic, so I started watching your videos back in March last year and learned enough about videography to be able to help out struggling small businesses in my community with content. This camera was my 1st "real" camera moving away from an iPhone. I had the Mavic Mini, but it's currently on holiday 150 ft. at the bottom of Lake Cumberland so a new Mini 2 would be a great addition to my business
@@ToroMateo Ahaha, no-no i meant the hover-bike i crashed in the outro. Your bike was awesome, and you are a very welcome sight in the comment section!
Just got the 6K Pro a week ago and love it so far. I'm so happy they addressed the issues! Thanks for always creating great content and entertaining us in the process! P.S. The camera does make you look beautiful and I also love the Color Sciences haha :)
@@jv8studios Oh nice, just checked out your showreel, very nice work. Ive just completed a project with it and really enjoy it, the ibis and af are top notch along with the colour space and editing flexibility. I haven't touched the 4k 120 or 8k yet as I don't need it commercially. I choose the r5 over the 6 mainly because I shoot landscapes and architecture as well sometimes. How about you and the r5?
Thanks for checking out my showreel! I need to update it, its been a busy year! Also, Sounds great! Is your project out yet? It would be great to see! Yes the auto focus is brilliant even in 4k. I used 8k a couple of times , however, it tends to overheat frequently. Have you had any issues with overheating? I haven't had this problem with r6 , I still think the r5 is a superior camera and will definitely improve once canon fixes the minor bugs. Thanks
Maybe wait for the BMPCC 6k Pro PLUS* in a year or two with FULL articulating screen 8 stops ND and cheaper EVF and more versatile RF mount AND more stable battery add on piece. That wobble Gene highlighted shows BM are either sloppy or deliberratley leaving flaws in their product to force upgrade. Why make fixed screen for 4k and 6k, why not full articulation on this 6k Pro? WHY WHY WHY ?
@@jacksp8de I think a Fuji x-s10 with 8 bit 420 log internal or 422 10 bit external in more compact body is a cheaper/better alteranative to this if you dont need the RAW aspect , Its cheaper and smaller to carry too, plus has IBIS !
@@DirectAccessYT I am a DP so the Blackmagic 6K is the best thing for me. In this price point nothing compares. For me its either this or a Sony FX6 or Canon C70. The hybrid camera I would get is the Panasonic s5 with external recording.
Gene stands in the field shooting log video and states “let me apply a quick grade” and then without stopping says “It looks pretty good”. :) That’s youtube magic right there! - That was funny though.
I was dying for you to review this camera but I'm glad you waited for the update. Here's a tip though, try shooting handheld with the neck-strap attached. With 2 hands, the neck-strap and your chest, you get 4 points of contact. I'm running the Sigma 18-35 and it's looking pretty smooth for not having stabilization.
Have been waiting for you to go over the 6K Pro. Really considering it as my first cinema cam and have been watching so much about it. Glad an update was released.
This video is awesome. One thing I noticed is that the color grading in your videos is soooo nice. A color grading tutoring would be amazing because I’m super curious how you get such nice colors.
I just got one! Stoked thus far. Been shooting canon dslr. Definitely a few things to learn about on this new cam and it serves a great purpose. The dynamic range is great
I’ve just ordered an fx3 but there’s no way I’d have gone for that if this just had IBIS, a little better battery and autofocus. They aren’t far off are they, everything else looks amazing
Amazing that you just posted this video right now, I have been going back and forth all week between the a7siii and the pocket 6kpro as my first camera after film school! Literally right before you posted this I chose the pocket 6k pro (through your link of course), with a meike prime as my first lens! Also your video about bags convinced me of the think tank bag instead of the lopro. Thank you so much for all your content over the years! You have always put out great videos. That are really informative and also really fun to watch at the same time! I really believe in passing things forward, so if I'm chosen as the winner, I'll happily find a musician at the begining of his career and I'll make them a free music video, and I'll film most of it with the mavic, and I'll ask them to pass it forward also and play at a charity event or something of the sort, and so on and so forth... So what do you think Mr. Nagata? Are you willing to get this good karma snowball moving? BTW hopefully we get a chance to work together some day, if you are ever in my neck of the woods, and want an assistant, or a place to stay. while you are here, just let me know😊 Thanks! And have a great rest of your day! ❤️
Gene, would you consider doing a video on bridge cameras such as the Sony Cyber-shot series, and comparing the images to smart phone images in all types of lighting conditions? This type of video would interest most casual and occasional shooters for things such as family vacations and filming their children in school plays. There are a lot more casual and occasional viewers than professional photographers. Thanks.
@@jann.s3442 The only bad thing I've really heard about it is the battery🤷🏻♂️ Im only 17 and have a part time job because of school so i still have a long way to go money wise 😂🤦🏻♂️
@@phxntomex3787 No Problem im 17 too and I bought mine when I was 16, with the first money that my freshly opened Filmproduktion got me. Just keep doing and keep beeing interested then the money will come bro...
@@jann.s3442 What a coincidence that were both the same age 😂🤔 I'll definitely keep grinding and I definitely don't think I'll ever lose my interest in cameras :)
NO The camera gives you a raw output so you HAVE TO aply noise reduction. Most Cameras aply it in camera thats, not cinema cameras like Blackmagic/Alexa/Red...
I was helping a friend shoot a short film this weekend and he was using this camera. We needed a good autofocus at one point; he chose to close up the lens to avoid focus issues.
Too many people are spoiled with Continuous AF. Blackmagic may not have it, but it pushes you to become a better videographer. They're product is simply one of the best at half the price of canon.
All the cameras and knowledge you have, and you shoot with the Canon C70 gets me pumped!!! Love my C70 with NDs and great AF. Kicks arse. Nothing better than reviewing a camera with another brand... CANON.
If they added that nvme m.2 ssd slot under the screen like the tilta mod did, that would've been amazing. Miss oppourtunity to make the camera more portable when not rigged up.
Thank you for covering the Luc adapter/ND filter issue. I was wondering how that would work out when the camera was announced. I have one of those in my 6K currently and it's money. That really helps make the choice easy to stick with the setup I have.
Hu buddy in my personal opinion but I think the BMPCC 6k is great camera but I found heavy and so huge and 12 bit raw is good but since 2015 Sony released a sony a7rii and I have 2 a7rii with 14 bit raw so 2 plus more from BMPCC, meanwhile the sony is tiny, lightweight and I did my custom PP and I can say is like a Cine 4 or Slog 3 with steroids because I can record in 640 ISO in the night without any problem and when I going to davinci I don’t lost any detail. Great video buddy you are humble and professional filmaker guy, we learn everyday with you. Keeping doing like this. Thanks to share your knowledge.
Supposedly the LucAdapter does work on the Pocket 6k Pro because the ND filers sit behind the IR cut glass, and the Lucadapter resides in the flange area in front of it.

thats literally what my dissertation is about this year ahha
Precisely. As someone who worked in video and TV in the 90's ..... We spent millions to achieve what can be had for less than 5k today.... its WILD
@@stuartswindellcampoy8483 Haha that's awesome!
@@BrendanWestBogPerson That's insane! People like you will notice how lucky we are more than anyone!
💯
I have a BMPCC6K Pro rented right now and I love it. The interface and usability is by far the best I’ve ever used on any camera.
This is by far my favourite low cost cinema at the moment
@facelessninetytwo aka Man of the Rain I can’t afford it either but one can dream 😂
@facelessninetytwo aka Man of the Rain get your credit up 😎

It's hard for me to notice any difference compared with a Fuji X-T4/Sony6600 for instance. Do you think that could be due to YT compression?
Im curious what do you use the 6K Pro for? Im trying to see if it's ok for content creators or for our studio.
This cameras color science with sony af is what I need in my life.
What Sony cameras do you usually use?

The Sam angry at the sea montage was too good.

Blackmagic Pocket camera reminds me of the Panasonic HVX200 I had. Reliable, great picture quality and easy to use.

Man, he is dedicated that's for sure. Some reviewers don't even care and just upload.
I felt that pain
ctrl Z 😜
Ah Blackmagic content from Potato Jet. Inject it now! Love the content man. Keep it up!
Gene, let's see how smooth you can keep that recording while changing the battery pack.
I’ve just ordered an fx3 but there’s no way I’d have gone for that if this just had IBIS, a little better battery and autofocus. They aren’t far off are they, everything else looks amazing
i just needed only autofocus ,would definitly go for this
Hey gene my family is sick with covid. Its tiring man.. You guys take care too
"I just dield a litte bit inside," came back to watch this part again and put a smile on my face.

Lol same here
Bwahaha the musicbed plug for Sam's lost hat was perfect
Oh man, I clicked so fast that my computer is mad at me
I've just started doing video work and loving it! This thing would take things at whole new level! 🔥
“The next camera will be an entire haiku.” xD BRUH!
Having a camera without sensor stabilisation in 2021 I don't think it's good. But in general, the potential of this 6KP is INCREDIBLE!
I mean,the arri Alexa doesn't have stabilisation lol
"Another name will be entire haiku" - love that pun

The picture does fit your style really well, with that big contrast range the pushed shadows look very natural.
1:46 When you're talking to your friends about camera gear, and they just nod along
The BMPCC 6K Pro is so good that it can make the Ralphs at Manhattan Village look cool.
I subbed for the motorcycle bit. I mean I also value the camera reviews, but I love that bike so much.

Mavic mini? Yes please. Would be a great upgrade to my spark.
FPV DRONE FOR LIFE!!
Hahah! Sams expression is simply epic with the music!heheheh
Love the Baraka sample in your opening music 😍
Having that consistency with the battery is very important. Can't have the camera turning off during the middle of a shoot.
*I hit the like when the tragic story of separation with cap started. NICE&* 😆
at 6:26 I suddenly realized as (I laughed out loud) why Potato is one of the best........
