Digital camera with the "Hollywood look"

The Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro is a successful addition to the range of digital film cameras from Blackmagic Design. As with the Pocket Cinema Camera 6K, the heart of the camera is a Super 35 sensor with a dynamic range of 13 f-stops, which can record up to 120 frames per second in Blackmagic Raw mode. Also on board is the EF lens mount (Canon). This makes the camera compatible with a wide range of professional lenses for film and photo. The display on the 6K Pro can be tilted and shines with up to 1500-nits brightness. Those who want to film in bright sunshine with an open aperture don't need to bring an arsenal of ND filters to the shoot, as these are already integrated into the camera with 2/4/6 stops. Two mini-XLR inputs are now also included.

Professional colour grading LUT

Professional cameras record material with low contrast and flat colours. While this allows for extensive intervention in post-production, it makes it difficult to control during filming. The Pocket Cinema Camera 6K also follows this pattern, but holds an ace up its sleeve, because it already shows the result during the recording with a colour grading LUT. This creates certainty and enables targeted creative decisions on set. LUTs can be applied to monitoring only or recorded as Blackmagic RAW files for post-production. The display is impressive across the entire spectrum and discreetly shows false colours, focus peaking, histogram, microphone level and much more on request. To ensure that all these professional functions can be used for longer periods at a time, the 6K Pro model uses the powerful rechargeable batteries of the NP-F570 series.

For evolving requirements

Blackmagic literally redefined the target market with the introduction of the Pocket Cinema cameras. Even the very first version shook up the market. Since then, features, image quality, user-friendliness and price have been incorporated into a budget-friendly package. That is why they are recommended for ambitious content creators and influencers as well as for independent filmmakers. With the camera, projects and equipment can be scaled wonderfully. Should the requirements ever become greater in scope, microphone inputs, a full-size HDMI output and USB-C connection are available. This means that both the film crew and the operation and functionality of the camera can grow together. The full version of DaVinci Resolve is also included in the scope of delivery. DaVinci Resolve is a video editing programme that is at home in the world's largest studios.

About Blackmagic Design

Founded in 2001, the Australian company Blackmagic Design is one of the world's leading pioneers and manufacturers of creative video technology. Known for its outstanding codecs, Blackmagic offers professional technology at affordable prices. The manufacturer demonstrated this in 2002 with the release of the DeckLink capture card. This enabled the editing of uncompressed 10-bit video material on a Macintosh OS X system. The products of the ATEM Live series are used in major productions worldwide. Grant Petty, founder and CEO of the company, describes the guiding principle of his company itself as follows: "Blackmagic Design strives to make video of the highest quality affordable to everyone so that production and television can become a truly creative industry."

Turning small into big

The Pocket Cinema Camera 6K can be used for short films, product videos, image films, TV documentaries, advertising videos and even cinema films. The simple operation of the camera in combination with the large screen is not only advantageous for solo filmers. If required, it can be used to put together a small or large camera rig. Typical extensions include a follow focus, a lens hood, a shotgun microphone, a monitor or even an external recorder. Day-to-day production work underlines how important it is to be flexible - so that you're able to record an interview on location one day and switch to the studio for a music video shoot the next. A particular highlight is that the connections, film formats, codecs and files conform to the industry standards of the big studios, thus ensuring that the Pocket Cinema Camera 6K is always compatible.

Great entry into Cinema cameras

stewie23 15.04.2021

The camera is a amazing, I can't fault it in many ways.
First the good, the image quality and superb and the versatility of the tilt screen in all lighting conditions is spectacular. The ef mount give great flexibility with all my canon lenses. The built in ND filters are great and seem to give little to no cast from what I can see. The Raw capability of the camera is second to non at this price point, and was is a super nice feature when coming from photography with Raw images. The inclusion of DaVinci Resolve Studio with the camera again is another great inclusion as you don't need to purchases an editing software to get started.

The no so great, the camera feels a bit plasticky and the rubber grip has picked up dirt quite quickly. My screen has the slight blue cast but BM is said to fix this in an update soon.

I would throughly recommend this camera to beginner and intermediate video makes/ cinematographers, and even as a B camera/ behind the scenes camera for larger crews and productions. Braw support in final cut and premier isn't great unless you pay for external plugins.

My workhorse!

Oliviero Russo 16.02.2023

Spectacular camera body! Value for money simply unattainable by any other company. This camera has accompanied me in a wide variety of work situations, moving nimbly from art projects to corporate projects and even documentaries and commercials. The image quality created by this camera is out of this world! The BRAW files generated by this S35 6K sensor are as close to ARRI image quality as one could wish for.

P.S.

Built-in NDs and the ability to record to SSD are a lifesaver in hard and fast shooting situations.

Excelent

Pradeep 28.06.2021

I am using BM products for long time. It was a gift for independent filmmaker. It is cheep at the same time quality is ultimate. BMPCC 6K PRO is one of it kind. No need many accessories. It is a complete package...

A Superb addition to the trilogy.

Samuel Ridge London Ltd. 15.05.2022

Although an awkward shape out of the box, once in its cage and rigged up it's a fantastic camera. You get all the great features from its predecessor, with the addition of Built-in life-saving ND filters. The new Flip screen makes a rigged up camera less awkward to use, and at times can remove the need of a monitor.

Overall superb image quality and very manageable files in 6k Raw. I liked it so much I bought a second!
