BMPCC 6K PRO | one year later. Everything I've learned.

Nice wardrobe.

“ the camera gets uglier over time “ 😂😂😂😂

Well thank you.. sounds like a lot of got damn issues with this jawn and it ain’t worth it for the money! Batter life is a bummer certainly

If you can’t trust the false colour, use the waveform or histogram, if they both indicate that your blacks are crushed, then your computer or your monitor is inaccurate.

I don't know if I need to buy more shirts or this guy has too many.

13 stops of dynamic range is not true at all as advertised, I believe its way more than that especially on the pocket 4k

great video

wow thanks!☺

Thanks for that absolutely excellent video. I'm thinking to get one and your video came along at the perfect time. A fellow photographer from the UK.

Great video. Thanks a lot

There might have been a time I would have considered selling off my PCC4K and 6K Pro, but after the firmware update that added gyro stabilization in post dropped, those days have long past.

i love your humor :)) nice

Literally the comprehensive review we all wanted and deserved. Thank you!

Great review !!! Subbed

amazing video loved it!!

Thank you. So is the S1H a better deal? In body image stabilisation, fully articulating screen, weather sealed, shoots BRAW externally...

My o My, I was not prepared for the secret tip in this video regarding dropped frames that gets resolved when you format the card twice. I have wondered why sometimes I get dropped frames for no reason intermittently. I will try the double-reformatting and see if that resolves my issues too. Apart from that, I agree with most of your points from personal experience

there is actually 4 different ways to record on the camera and one combination lets you record to the SD card on the Blackmagic video assist and any media you use on the camera

Format the cards twice to avoid dropping frames… got it!

“6K Semi-Pro”

maybe the dynamic range thing seems better just because of the gen 5 vs gen 4 thing?

Hi Christopher! Great Video. Could I ask you what power solution you are using with your 6k pro? I thought the battery plate for Sony batteries don't work with the 6k Pro as it doesn't deliver enough power? Thanks!!

Hi great review,
to shoot Q0 I have an Zitay adaptator CF-V nand Samsung Evo 860 Sata M2...IT IS working but IT not ideal and make the caméra even more ugly

so many advantages with the bcpcc camera's, but can't decide if it's easy to film yourself as well as cinematic content.

I subscribed because of the cloth switch 👍👍

Battery life isn't the best still, but you might consider upgrading your batteries to the 3500ah versions sold by bmd if you don't have any. The one you inserted in b-roll looked like the older 2600ah versions by sony. Gives me about an hour of battery life at 6k 2.4:1 in q3 braw, and 2.5h with the battery grip fully loaded.

#12 the new "gyro" stab in resolve removes almost all rolling shutter. discovered this by accident and I have no idea why more people arent talking about this. you cant use a speed booster or an IS lens, MUST shoot BRAW (the metadata is stored in BRAW), the camera needs the exact focal length (most primes feed this automatically). if you use a zoom, manually input the focal length youre using. obviously no gimble. I almost fell out of my chair, because RS is my biggest problem with my 6kpro. even if you dont dial the "gyro" amount to full in resolve it still pulls almost all RS out. its insane. Shoot with a high shutter speed to eliminate MB artifacts, and put MB back in fusion with optical flow and a vector MB node and youre in business.

Asking around…. I got 2 of these for dual angles - both have red, hot pixels - bright red pixels on the monitor (not on footage) right out of the box within minutes - how are you fixing that? Thanks!

Was looking at the pcc4k until I saw this new upgrade on the 6k G2 - I don't know all what I'll need as far as attachments or rigging. I'm mainly doing interviews and business announcement videos. I'll also be doing school informational videos for my kid's private school [so mainly b-roll on the playground and things of that nature]

Total budget is under $4,000 around $3,500. When I was reading on the 4k everyone said you have to go metabones speed booster but then that puts that camera just under the 6k price. But I was battling Rokinon mft prime cine lense bundle and no metabones but also looking at the sigma 18-35mm. I'll try to do much on a tripod but nervous when I do the slow mo on handheld with no image stabilizer with those lenses or the camera. I read BM's update on raw and correcting stabilization in Davinci but that's all new to me only. I've only used Premiere...

Would love some feedback of what you think.

Absolutely love my 6KPro. I STILL use my FS700 because damn, that slow mo, but this chunky 6KPro isn’t that bad against a FS700R.

OH, nice idea to change your top for every number, haha! Happy to be part of your gang!

Hi Christopher, Great video (god amount of views!), with good feedback. Nice to hear a colleague's points of view. My settings don't disappear even if I remove the battery! As you know the camera doesn't have IBIS, so it depends, as you said, on the type of lens you use. Some, as you probably know, have stabilization, however, if you use a wide lens the handheld movements will be very soft. For example, I use only cinema lenses (Samyang) and when I work with the 14mm I can walk and it looks great! THe best solution for power for this camera is the Anton Bauer Tilton plate battery!!! Thanks, man

A) How long did it take you to shoot this? 2) How many shirts do you own? C) Did you have each shirt laid out in order of take? 4) Have you consider downsizing your wardrobe so you can make videos faster? E) Nice camera 6) Great review of all you learned G) Would you recommend this over the new G2? 8) Would you recommend this for pure phot shooters or pure video shooters? I) Thanks for the different video take.

You can simply pull out ther port covers. If you need to return the camera or sell, you can snap them back in, by design. I bought 6K initially before I've upgraded to 6K Pro, I did that with the 6K camera, removed the port covers completely, then inserted them back before returning the camera and geting 6K Pro. Zero problems, port covers are in the camera box. In fact I bought this one used at B&H and I'm still thinking about switching to Sigma fp, so in case I decide to do that, port covers will go back in.

Excellent assessment. Thank you Christopher. One questions though; have you ever experienced any low frequency noise from the K6 Pro 'exhaust'/cooling on your audio tracks when using a cold-shoe mounted microphone ?

Good job. Thanks for your work!

Excellent guide, fashion choices, and the use of NO music.

Number 20 made me laugh out loud. - Amazing video, love your shirts.

I've taken the port covers off all of my pocket cams. You just pull them and they pop out. It's possible to re-attach later if you need.

Excellent job. Just waiting for mine to be delivered.

@Christopher Michael Law - Funny character and nice delivery! Good information. I love my 6K Pro. As opposed to NP or V-mount I am currently trying out a 65W PD Power bank for power delivery ATM however, not out in the real world yet which seems to work great messing about at home. Keep up the good work!!

Great points my brother

LOVE THIS! thanks man.

brilliant. Tks

I took the port covers off! Glorious improvement!!!!!

Started shooting with the 4K about 3 years ago and then when the 6K pro came out I upgraded to that as well. Yes, the camera has many limitations but once you rig it out and find a way to use it that works for you you quickly forget about all those limitations because that image is just so damn good.

Simple and straight to the point. No filler, just the way I like it. Great job on the video man, much appreciated !

Not everyone as 52 nice shirts to wear on on video. I comment you for not letting that hold you back. Great info thank you.
