      Great camera, beautiful footage from it, but god I barely use the thing. My g9 gets way more use due to the ibis, flip screen, size, etc. Sad actually. The pocket 4k seems much more interesting if you are using it for jobs. You really need the gimbals, sliders, tripods, etc for the thing. For handheld it is fine for narrative or music video type stuff, travel too (this is assuming your lenses don't have any stabilization), but it's not very good for handheld b-roll footage like one would use in say a commercial advert for small products. I'm waiting to get a new tripod, sliders, wheels, etc for it to see if I can make more use of it shooting in my small studio. But currently it's just too unwieldly to shoot the type of videos I want to shoot handheld. It's a camera that works much better in a well planned out shooting scenario

    Hey John, I was wondering if you have any tips for using the bmpcc 4k and 6k for RUclips videos, e.g., how are you pulling focus, does the focus hold, or do you go out of focus ever, some details on that would be really helpful.

    • @JonBear
      @JonBear  Год назад

      Great question! I've filmed a few RUclips videos with the BMPCC4K but I honestly opt for using my GH5 for most talking head videos now instead.
      The reason is like you mentioned, pulling focus is a hassle. I would have to have a long HDMI cord with the monitor close to me so I could see if I was in focus. Then making focus would be trial and error. This process made sitting down and just recording a hassle.
      On Top of that, the filesizes are massive. For one RUclips video I may sit there and talk for 20 min plus and edit it down to 8 min. but that 20min file is huuuge. I know you can lower you bmpcc 4k bitrate but it's still significantly larger than the files coming out of the GH5.
      But if using a bmpcc is the best thing you got, then go for it! The resulting video will look great. Also if you use manual focus lenses you can save a ton of time by Pulling focus just once, then taking note of where you are in focus. Then make sure you mount the camera on the same spot each time and sit in the same distance.
      For Sound I prefer wireless lav mics like Rode

    Hey man, I'm new here in your channel. Just watched this video and now I'm part of your gang! Thank you very much for all the advice! I've been looking for a camera and from all the cameras I saw, there is one thing that called my attention; the image quality that the bmpcc offers!!! I totally agree with you about everything you say in here. I'm just worry a little about the AF, but I guess there is always a way. I currently have the canon EOS R and two lenses (RF 15-35mm f2.8 and the EF nifty 50), but I'm definitely thinking about making the jump. Thanks again!

    • @topicruben
      @topicruben 3 года назад

      @@JonBear well, first it’s only 8 bits internally, so dynamic range, not good in low light. In 4K you can only film up to 30 fps, and it had a huge crop in 4K. I used to film in 1080p but then I bout the new iMac (5K) and I see the difference, so I moved to 4K but not even 60p in 4K so I was disappointed. But I’d say the biggest thing is that when I saw the image quality of the bmpcc I was completely in love with it. I know it has problems with AF but I use a lot manual focus and there’ll be a workaround. Hope I was clear..., I just opened my eyes 😄👍

    • @JonBear
      @JonBear  3 года назад

      Thanks for the question 👍What's your experience with filmmaking?
      Short answer is: GH5 if you want simplicity. Blackmagic if you are ready to double down on filmmaking.
      The Blackmagic requires a lot to get running efficiently. External battery, external ssd, also its wonky to use handheld. No stabilization. So you'll need to rig it up on tripod, gimbal etc which brings more stuff that you need to buy.
      GH5 however, you can pick up and go. Internal battery lasts a long time. It's smaller and easier to hold. Stabilization is next level. My Cappadocia video is shot on it and also all the shots in my demo reel are shot on GH5
      The Blackmagic is a powerful tool but it might turn you off if you're not already experienced with filmmaking. But if you manage to get a good handle on it, it's gonna deliver high production footage.
      Hope that helps!

    Is it too complicated for one man army? or do i need an assistant to pull the focus of this camera?

    • @JonBear
      @JonBear  2 года назад +1

      BMPCC4K will get you incredible results but it takes work. If you plan to use it MAINLY for RUclips then I would instead get some hybrid camera that has autofocus as it will make filming yourself so much easier.
      If however you plan on using it for client shoots or passion projects mainly then it is one of the best cameras. As long as you are behind the camera, it is amazing. It gets difficult as soon as you are in front of the camera.
      As for price, the BMPCC4k needs so much extra stuff that you will end up spending a lot more. Cage, monitor, ssd, batteries, etc.

  • @LifeAndWrestling
    @LifeAndWrestling 3 года назад +1

    I'm conflicted. I have a Gh5 and love it but now its hard. I find myself leaning more towards filmmaker than being a hybrid shooter. But is it worth me switching over. I don't know. Any advice?

    • @JonBear
      @JonBear  3 года назад +2

      You're asking the right person :) I own both and I still use both a ton. The GH5 is incredible. The stabilization is next level and it matches my Pocket 4K so well. I match them with luts from emotivecolor.com, I shoot with the GH5 in HLG.
      So if you are buying the pocket4k, I would consider it as an additional camera. I would NOT sell the GH5 to get the pocket 4k however. If you already have the GH5 then stick with it. It's an insanely good filmmaking camera :) Feel free to ask me anything brother

    Hey Jon! Great video and your recommendations inspired me to get a pocket 4K with the vilatrox and sigma lens. My question though is that my vilatrox lens is quite blurry even after I adjusted the glass element. I can’t seem to get infinity focus out of it. Any recommendations? Should I return my current vilatrox and exchange my current one in case that it’s just faulty?

    • @JonBear
      @JonBear  2 года назад +1

      If you've tried rotating it and still cannot get infinity then it may be faulty.
      But how blurry is it exactly? have you tried other lenses on the BMPCC4K?
      If it is slightly more blurry than a regular mirrorless then that is normal, the BMPCC4K gives you a raw file without sharpening applied.

      @@JonBear thanks so much for replying! You’re the best. It is just the SLIGHTEST BIT blurry. It’s specifically when I’m on the 18mm that it won’t quite reach infinity focus. When I digitally zoom in on the LCD screen is when I can really tell that the sharpness isn’t there. I’m clearly a novice, so is it that the speed booster is defective? Or that’s normal and that can be fixed in post? I would just prefer to get it right in camera so then there’s little work to do in post. Thank you again!

    Take in mind that i want to shoot and render at 4K DCI at 60fps most of the time (although i may shoot 2.6K120 and 4K75 sometimes to slow it down), dont ask me why, i just love how it looks that way, just curiosity, still cant afford that lol (and my PC wouldnt handle it)

      Thanks for the question! Bmpcc4k takes a ton of storage but there are some settings you can use to use to keep it more manageable.
      I find that setting it to Constant Quality -> Q5 is a good balance.
      I wouldn't shoot 60 unless it's for slowmo. Stick to 24,25,30 for realtime shots otherwise you're wasting storage for no reason and 24 fps just looks better. Check out my slowmo video to see what I mean

      Sup! You can use regular adaptors :) Just search EF to M43. They are much cheaper. However I recommend the one that viltrox makes if you want to be able to control the aperture in camera: amzn.to/3tgJxKR
      But you can also get cheaper ones where you will need to control the aperture manually. Not recommended since many lenses don't have aperture rings
      Finally, you could just get a pocket 6k instead, which has an EF mount so no adapter needed

    I'm looking at purchasing either a GH5 or a BMPCC4k and I'm torn. It seems that a GH5 is ready to shoot with out of the box whereas a cage and some other accessories are a must with the BMPCC4k. I'm a G85 user at the moment and have invested in some solid lenses and a speedbooster. So it is time for a body upgrade as my video business is starting to take on some higher paying projects. If you had to chose between the two and could only have one, what are you choosing??

    • @JonBear
      @JonBear  3 года назад +1

      It's just as you say. BMPCC4K needs way more accessories and it has a bit of a learning curve.
      I use my BMPCC4K as my A cam when doing client work but I always end up using my GH5 for handheld B shots because the in body stabilization is incredible.
      The G85 has in body stabilization too so maybe you could consider getting on the BMPCC4K - but the GH5 is no slouch and I still pick it over the BMPCC4K when doing run-n-gun and travel videos which I have been doing a lot of on my youtube lately.
      This is all to say, whichever you choose, you won't be disappointed!

    • @JonBear
      @JonBear  3 года назад +1

      I have not tried it. But with the viltrox speedbooster it will become a fast f2.0 lens. The zoom range is really fantastic. It's a great lens. I would say it's the budget version of the sigma 24-70 lens (more than twice as expensive). Go for the 17-50 and let me know how it works!

    Nice video! But you explain why you buy a bmpcc 4k because you have a second camera with the same sensor!! so, if i dont have a second camera is this a value for money option instead of a7siii?

    • @JonBear
      @JonBear  3 года назад +1

      You are right yes. However I still think there is a lot of value in having a Blackmagic 4k - with one caveat: You're planning on shooting video professionally.
      The Blackmagic 4k is cheap, but yes it needs a ton of accessories like cage, external ssd, gimbal, and battery. Extra stuff that will cost you money.
      A7siii will be a great tool for excellent stabilized video, impeccable autofocus, fantastic low light, and fantastic photos. But if you're going to film professionally you would probably get all the accessories too. So for the price of one A7siii with quality lens, you could get 2 blackmagics with quality glass and accessories.
      For professional video the choice is obvious for me, but if you're going to shoot photos too and you need that amazing autofocus (and you got enough money) then the A7siii would be a better choice.

    well said ! thanks ! my bmpcc4k just arrived and my reasons to buy it were similar to yours. I am not sure though how you cope with out stabilization when using the sigma and i am not sure if you are happy with the quality loss due to viltrox... instead of metabones? I ordered the pana nocricton 42.5mm f1.2 but i am not sure what to buy regarding wider angle lenses . Olympus 25mm or 17mm f1.2 is it good enough without IOS if only use a gimbal ??? I own a sony a6600 (+ 16mm f1.4 sigma +56mm f1.4 sigma)

    • @JonBear
      @JonBear  3 года назад

      Thank you Nikolaos.
      - Regarding the quality loss with viltrox: It's considered slightly softer but only by a hair. Many comparisons yield very little difference. Due to the massive price difference I decided the viltrox is fine. Most of my professional work and youtube videos are shot with this speedbooster and I have never thought it wasn't sharp enough.
      - Regarding wider angles, I am a huge fan of the Olympus 17mm f1.8. I might make a review on it. This lens has is *_fast_***, has a manual focus clutch with *hard stops* making it absolutely banger! The autofocus on it is also fast when I use it on my GH5. 17mm on a m43 sensor is not crazy wide - and still feels cinematic - while a 25mm is a little tight on a blackmagic
      - Regarding stabilization, I use the Blackmagic for tripod shots or on a shoulder mount. I still keep my GH5 with it's god-like stabilization for situations where I need it. There are tons of people who run blackmagic on gimbals though!
      Thanks bro!

  • @hellionfilms2349
    @hellionfilms2349 3 года назад +2

    Would you rather have an extra stop of light or a sensor that handles light (noise) better? The 6k will handle it better. I have a 4k so I'm not biased. And the Viltrox degrades the image more than the Metabones, you should have opted for that for professional shoots.

    • @JonBear
      @JonBear  3 года назад +2

      Now that the 6k pro is out I'm considering getting one along with the p4k.
      Your points are 100 percent correct. But from the comparisons I have seen, the viltrox is very close to the netabones optically. The cheaper price tag makes the viltrox a very fair deal

    How do you get that npf battery adapter to work?
    I got one and my battery is fully charged and everything looks good (I know it's charged because my npf has a small display on it)
    BUT the issue comes in as SOON AS I plug the 12 Volt power cable into the adapter. (The weipu connection doesn't even have to be plugged into the camera. Just as soon as I plug that 12 Volt power cable into the battery plate, the battery instantly just bricks and does absolutely nothing.
    It takes me putting it on a charger for the battery to start showing it has full charge again... Rinse and repeat.
    I am at a lose for what could be going wrong.

I match my GH5 to my bmpcc4k all the time and people can't tell the difference.
