The Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera 4K features a 4/3" sensor for capturing up to 4096 x 2160 DCI 4K images at rates up to 60 fps in a variety of codecs including CinemaDNG Raw/Raw 3:1/Raw 4:1, and various ProRes 422 options. Slow-motion rates up to 120 fps are available in cropped Full HD. Its Micro Four Thirds lens mount accommodates the original, lightweight Pocket Cinema Camera lenses, and can be used with PL, C, EF, and other lenses with the use of separately available adapters. A dual-native ISO up to 25,600 is featured for low-light capture, and 13 stops of dynamic range provide rich HDR images.

Record using the internal CFast 2.0 and SD/UHS-II card slots, or employ the USB-C output for capturing longer clips to an external drive. The Pocket Cinema Camera 4K's 5" touchscreen LCD display reduces the need for an external, onboard monitor, while a full-sized HDMI port enables you to output a signal to a larger display. The menu and interface are the same as the ones found on the URSA Mini camera, and 3D LUTs can be applied for monitoring or for baking in your look when you're ready to commit.

Audio features include a mini-XLR input with phantom power for pro-style mics, a 3.5mm jack, and an internal stereo mic. Additional features include the same Blackmagic OS as the URSA Mini, and Bluetooth remote control. A license key for DaVinci Resolve Studio is included for versatile post-production control. The Pocket Cinema Camera 4K's carbon fiber polycarbonate build provides lightweight strength and durability, and power options include running off a Canon LP-E6 type battery or the included power supply.

CinemaDNG Raw and ProRes Options Choose from CinemaDNG Raw and ProRes 422 files options depending on your project's needs.

5" Touchscreen Display A large 5" touchscreen display reduces the need for an external on-board monitor, while a full-sized HDMI port enables you to output a signal to a larger display on your video village.

      The 4k + Sirui anamorphics = dream combo.

      Chuck it on a Ronin RS2 and it's butter.

          @Mac40: Are you gonna get the 24mm? So bummed about the f2.8 and the price hike on it. I've got the other 2 but I don't think I'm gonna get the 24mm.

            @bootlace: No, I won't get that - what was the price hike? I thought it was meant to be a budget lens?

            35mm is about the spot I wanted an anamorphic, which is why I didn't pick up the 1.8 50mm which I felt was too close. I defintely don't need more anamorphic lens so close to eachother, and 2.8 is too limiting for me on these small sensors.

            I actually just bought a full suite of Sony GM glass and cam so I might start shooting all Sony instead of the Panasonic & Blackmagic combo I'm currenty doing.

              @Mac40: The new one is $749USD on Indigogo - $150-$200 dearer than the first 35mm and 50mm for early backers.

              2.8 just isn't fast enough given you're already losing so much at that size. I don't mind the 50mm (though it's a bit cold) as it behaves in some ways like an 85mm, and while I'd welcome a 24mm it would need to remain at 1.8 or lower.

              Lately I've been messing around with vintage lenses, though next I'd really like to pop an SLR Magic 50mm 0.95 on to try it out.

              Am yet to open up the Ronin RS2. Took too long to arrive, we couldn't use it in time for the last shoot of the year. I'm really keen though.

                @bootlace: My mate has the P4K and uses it on the RS2 - says it has full electronic focus which is great - but you have to use CFast 2.0 because the USB-C port is used for camera control. I usually leave the P4K all rigged up so its a bit difficult to put on the gimbal. I have a couple of Panasonic's that have full electronic compatibility with the RS2 and work great on it though.

    Nowhere near. This is a budget friendly cinema camera that punches well above its weight in value and size.

  Any suggestions for a good all-rounder starter lens for the 4k? Just looked into the Sirui and would be keen to grab that a bit further down the track after I'm more comfortable with the camera.

    Have a look at the Panasonic Lumix 12-35mm F2.8 for a starter. It's a great little lens with OIS. I shot a lot of stuff on this in my early days. With the crop factor it becomes closer to a 24-70mm lens, so the stabilization really helps there.

    I also love that it's a constant f2.8 across the entire range - and if you're into touch focus, it works with the Blackmagic.

      The Panasonic lens mentioned here by Bootlace is $935 https://www.amazon.com.au/Panasonic-12-35mm-ASPH-Lumix-Vario…

      or $899 @ CameraPro but be mindful that they sometimes need to "verify payment" which can add a few days

        Thanks, both of you!
        CameraPro was going to be $909 with shipping, but I found it at digiDirect with free shipping for $892~ (last time I ordered with them though it took over 3 months…) but while there, I noticed the FotodioX Canon EF Lens Adapter for Micro Four Thirds for $60, which made me think, since I have some Canon glass already, would it be best to just grab an EF adaptor and use one of my current lenses, and just save straight up for the Sirui while learning the ropes? Or just grab the Panasonic lens and don't worry about the adaptor and my Canon lenses?
        My current EF's are 85mm 1.8, 50mm 1.4, and the 135mm (I do have a thing for primes haha). I have done very little video work so, my knowledge on the lenses and their usability for video is very little.

          @SySalem: That DigiDirect one is a good deal.

          With adapters, I recommend spending more and getting this adapter https://www.metabones.com/products/details/MB_SPEF-m43-BT8
          The benefit of this is that you get a smart adapter, that increases the field of view to compensate for the smaller sensor and you funnel more light into the sensor. So your 1.4 lens might go down to 0.8, a 1.8 becomes a 1.2 etc. Its great and sharp.

          Despite this being heaps more expensive than the 60$ adapter, if you ever plan to get this Metabones adapter you'll never use the other one again, which means you save $60. Alternatively, buy the $60 one and pretend I never told you about this one.

            @Mac40: I actually was reading about the Metabones when I was comparing the 4K and 8K! Hmm… sweats

            Ok so basically, I can go $892~ and grab the Panasonic lens, or $1,190~ and grab the Metabones and use my Canon lenses, or $1,040~ and grab the Sirui straight up. Would it be that bad a thing to just spend the extra and learn up front on the Sirui? It's the fact that the price difference between the Panasonic and Sirui isn't that huge that, now after actually pricing them all up properly, it doesn't seem that far out of the realm of possibility, if it's an acceptable choice to learn on.

              @SySalem: I don't know what sort of work you do, but I recommend getting a workhorse lens before getting specialty lenses even if it's less fun. You can use the 12-35mm or the Metabones on every job, but you can't use an anamorphic lens on every job. Especially with social being the majority of work and those platforms leaning towards square 5:4 and 16:9 content

                @Mac40: The goto lens for this system is the Metabones adapter and the Sigma 18-35mm 1.8 Art lens

                  @Mac40: Yep nope, that makes sense, thanks for all the tips! Even more keen now to get my hands on the 4K and start learning!

                    @SySalem: If you haven't had a cinema camera before the 4K is just great. It's gorgeous, much prettier than it should be at this price, and its menu is the best UI around on any system. Easy to navigate, clear labelling. This camera comes with a studio version of Da Vinci Resolve for editing - so that's $400 of great software - and this unit records in BRAW which is amazingly small file sizes with heaps of detail.

  I remember watching an Optimum Tech video on YouTube and being absolutely blown away by the quality of the footage. I was going to message him and ask what his setup was, till I expanded the description notes, and saw he lists all his equipment there. (It’s a BlackMagic 6K)

  It was stupid expensive at the time, And currently over $3,300 on Amazon.

  This seems like a steal.
