What's up Film Jammers? Today we have the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6k in the house.
It's got the EF mount, we're gonna unbox it and see what it's all about. Don't you want to stick around?
Film Jams!
I want to give a special shout out to Jason Henne. This is his new camera. He let us unbox it.
He literally gave me an unwrapped. So thanks Jason Henne. Thanks for letting us use your camera.
You might never see this again. I just changed all my locks, so...
All right, here we go unboxing the 6k!
Getting inside boys and girls. Mmm!
Look at that. Look at that. So pretty! We've got a manual.
Hmm, what's in here? "Leading the creative video revolution." Oh!
Okay, so you got your Resolve right there, boom, on the card and you get your activation key.
So DaVinci Resolve included, very cool. What else we got? We got you got your LP E6 battery!
It goes through like six of these, maybe eight of them, in a day.
So, let's see how the new camera - we're talking about the 4k - let's see how the new 6k handles.
I don't know how much battery life it's gonna get on one of these but we'll see!
Okay, now we got your straps, very important to have that strap. Got your cord, AC adapter.
For the AC adapter looks like you're getting a whole bunch of different cords.
So if you're in New Mexico, New Zealand, New Guinea, or Madagascar, you've got all your different plugs there. You never know!
All right. Let's get the American one out.
Boom, ready to go! Ready to charge it up.
Oh and here she is the 6k Blackmagic Cinema Camera! Ready for action!
We do have a screen protector on here still. Look at that nice, I'm gonna peel that off ready. Ooh
Oh that screen is nice. Feels great in the hand. Now, we also happen to have a 4k BMPCC in the house.
I'm gonna hold them both and give you my initial thoughts.
Okay, so I've got the BMPCC 4k here with the cage on and the 6k.
So you can see that the sensor is a lot larger and that it kind of protrudes a little bit more.
Basically, I'm looking at them here and they both have - it's literally the same exact setup. Same buttons.
The back looks the same.
Same size screen.
It all looks the same. They just put a new lens mount on it. Hey kids get your new camera!
Double the price, just a new lens mount, and maybe 6k?
So basically, you've got the same camera body as the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema 4k.
Obviously the main differentiator here is the 6k.
But also that it has an EF mount on the camera so you don't need a speed booster anymore to get that Super35 frame of view.
Pretty nice because I got a lot of EF glass. Let's go get it. EF mount lens and
throw it on here. Let's see how it feels.
Okay, so I just put a battery in it and I'm gonna attach this 50mm 1.2 L lens onto the camera.
Okay, so there you go. Got the 50 millimeter lens on there.
Yeah, all the menus and all the menu settings look almost exactly the same.
So if you want to do 120 frames per second on the 6k you can do it now at 2.8K.
It is a censored window crop.
You put 60 frames here 60 frame off-speed and make sure your off speed recording is on. Looks very similar.
So if you have the 4k, you're gonna be right at home with this little puppy
Okay, so we actually have a half cage from Tilta here that works on our 4k we're gonna attach it to the 6k.
So it's kind of cool.
It looks like it's actually gonna take the same cages and a lot of the same accessories, which is really nice.
Hey, it's pretty solid! Cage is on.
Let's attach that SSD. All right, we've got the SSD on top. It's looking pretty sweet. I love these little Tilta cages.
They really are made perfectly for these cameras and it's nice how you can just attach that SSD up there.
So in Blackmagic Raw 3:1, we're getting 22 minutes in 6k on a 500GB hard drive. Ouch.
The other major difference on this camera is it has true anamorphic.
You can shoot at 3.7 K anamorphic. That's 3728 pixels by 3104 pixels.
That it's gonna de squeeze it give you some magical goodness of anamorphic look in there.
We're gonna give you a little taste of a quick test today.
It's just gonna be both the 4k on here and in the 4k compared to the Blackmagic Pocket 4k camera.
Okay, so we got the Blackmagic 6k outside. We got an ND filter on. It's a nice Hoya ND 16.
We've got some background elements. Hope you can see a nice dynamic range of different stuff going on there. Alright, here we go
*Music*
That's some great footage I love it!
By the way, we've been rolling on this for I don't know five ten minutes and we had it inside for five or ten minutes.
The battery is still completely full. So people worried about that a battery life. I don't know. It's pretty good so far.
We now have swapped. We've got the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema 4k camera. The field of view looks pretty similar.
We haven't moved the camera. We haven't moved, Maggie, our model. Same exact lens 50 millimeter Rokinon.
4k camera. 4k Pro Res. Boom! Here we go.
*Music*
Alright guys, thanks for watching our Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6k unboxing and we hope you like the little test footage.
We're gonna have a lot more videos this week with all different kinds of comparisons comparing it to the 4k
We're gonna compare it to the Alexa Mini and see how this baby handles it all.
Let us know what you think down in the comments. I'll see you next week!
*Music*
Thanks Jason Henne, thanks for letting us use your camera. The guy is... he's a saint? He's a legend? Maybe? He's great-looking. I can't deny that.
