sooooo ummm whatt?????? is this year 2031 or something. still can't believe it. Oh also 4k still coming but i couldnt wait to post. Too excited
I've heard that it's hard to work with their raw files. Is it true?
Hoping to move to Canada one day, and i wish if i can get a chance to watch and learn how you work on your videos... man that will be knowledge.....🙌
Wagner Jacobson in the Native Davinci Resolve no problems, any other programs it gets tricky. Your computer has to have a great video card and efficient amount of RAM but for raw over compressed it’s amazing 🙏🏻
did you get the davinci resolve studio 15 or 16??
Matti, Autokroma has a plugin to edit BRAW in Premiere. $30 USD. works great
To anyone new to blackmagic. Using davinci resolve is not a downside. It's a way more powerful color grading tool than premiere and final cut. Also this camera is only 2.5k but you need to spend a bit more to make it useable. It's a cinema camera so it's meant to be powered externally (v mount) and meant to be put in a cage
Brian Decasa thank you
correct! it's not if you're the type of person who would actually be using this camera. if you're a run-and-gun/documentary shooter you might wanna steer clear of both this and resolve.
Color grading is nice, but the rest really needs an update, its pretty hard to understand not as intuitive as premiere for example. And the VFX isn't near to AE but if it will get there it will be unbeatable
@@froznfire9531 yo premiere is not intuitive at all the ui is a complete trainwreck
@@typoded no its so easy to understand. I tried to learn resolve as it was a nice free alternative but couldn't get the hang of editing with it. Premiere was so direct and way more intuitive, speically color grading and cutting... resolve is nowhere near that
Awww I miss the cottage!!
Potato Jet Time to upgrade to the pocket cinema 6k
It misses you 😊
Potato Jet and Matti you guys should make videos together
Matti! The camera body is made from carbon. It feels plastic, but it's super light, and way stronger than plastic!
It's actually a carbon fiber polycarbonate composite. Which is just plastic that has bits of carbon fiber in it. Depending on the manufacturing technique this can range from not really doing anything, to adding a little more rigidity and flame resistance. Regardless, it's plastic.
lol, they did a good job with you, "Carbon Fiber Composite" is just a fancy way to call plastic. I have the P4K and it is made of plastic, whatever you wanna call it.
super use full info man. I thought it was strange when he brought that up. Good to know.
@Steven van de Staak Oh I agree with you for the most part! I've worked a lot with plastic and am always surprised by how well it performs. I was just correcting the information spreading through the above comment.
To give my own opinion though, if I was building something to keep its condition for a long time and that would be used in many different temperatures/environments, I'd still go with aluminum. Not to mention weight is actually a benefit in almost all scenarios with a Cinema Camera. I don't doubt the plastic they use is more than robust for most, but at $2500 I'd like to see a full metal body in a Cinema Camera. It's better for heat dissipation and will generally hold it's condition longer.
2Wheels OutDoors dude。。。same material on the canon entry level dslr。。nothing high tech
I’ve used an Ursa Mini for the last couple of years, love it, but it’s huge, was about to order the 4K pocket cinema camera then they announce this!
Preordered!
I bought it and love it. Can't wait to share some footage!
YES!!!!! I am so excited for this review!!!
Are you going to have a shoot competition with Peter M. Red?
Having used both, I like the footage from the 4k a lot more than the RED.
Love to see this!
yeah i would love to see that
Yeah, that would be awesome
ua-cam.com/video/ynhjKaTgLf4/v-deo.html “blind “ image comparison with more than 2000 people participating. Most people preferred the BMD cameras. It’s revolutionary because of the price point.
So dope! This is on the wishlist for sure.
The footage on the boat where the guy in the glasses moved from shadow to the sun crossing his face.... wow. Beautiful footage all around! The battery issue and the need for an SSD is pretty widely known. Its still amazing!
STUNNING! I know exactly the show you are referring to.
Wait, editing in Da Vinci Resolve is a downside? Crazy man, I love DVR. Soooo much better than premier or final cut.
Indeed.
I agree. I've been using Resolve for about a year. And I think it's super user friendly. Plus, being made by BM it's a no-brainer given the obvious benefits of the workflow.
But is it easy to organize thousands of files though? I'm an Adobe Premiere user and don't mind switching to a program that's faster and more stable but being able to color label footages and organize them into bins is what makes it way better for practical use than FCP.
@@jobz9150 Resolve can do all this stuff
You missed the point. He meant that other softwares are not compatible, not that Davince Resolve is bad.
Thank you Matti! I've been waiting for this video ever since you mentioned it!
thanks for sharing your thoughts about the BMPCC 6k !
great footage and cute family weekend moments!
I just started watching your daily vlogs religiously and I gotta say... I LOVE THEM!!!!!!!
Great review, Matti! I really enjoyed watching this review. In fact, I really love watching your videos. Thanks for the share!
B-Roll sequence at the start was insane! Awesome job Matti
Having to use davinci Resolve is an upside, not a downside
DOT was just about to say the same. Haven’t looked back at Premiere Pro since I switched.
@@mannydrives neither I.
You're right! Resolve if the best. Haven't even looked at other editors since trying it a year ago.
Dump Premiere. You will never look back. 99% less crashes. Import and Export-speed
You missed the point. He meant that other softwares are not compatible, not that Davince Resolve is bad.
The learning curve for Resolve isn't that huge even for me coming from FCPX. Footage looks amazing man. I can see your enthusiasm as a filmmaker come out through your footage. And 12:1 is life, right?! You'll find it cuts quite nicely with your C300 Mark II. I cut it with my C200 all the time.
My MPCC 6K arrives Monday. Super excited for the lil beast.
The colors man! The dynamic range.. those two alone gave me nostalgia
Thanks always for making such a great reviews you
Are the best 👍
Of all the camera review you've done this has by far the best sample footage. The others are very comparable but this has a very distinct look.
That B-Roll at the beginning is great!
Great 👍 review Matti. The footage from that black magic definitely looks very cinematic.
Great review! The image is insane good!
Wow Matti that footage was amazing!
Thanks for the video Matti.. I am still waiting for the BMPCC 6K to be delivered here in Australia. As always your video are great. I look forward to seeing more of your videos with this camera. Have a great day.
I have so much school work but I have waited so long for this vid!
That pocket joke was actually hilarious LOL, amazing content as always Matti!!
Excellent shots and review.
I have the pocket 4K and I absolutely love it! The 6k would be nice but for my workflow the 4K better serves my needs. Great review dude!
Do you use the EF mount with the 4K?
i used to photograph pro wakeskating for nike. so i was naturally turbo stoked when i saw you shredding. let me know if you need trick tips, you should be out there busting pop shuvs and kickflips in no time. great video matti, i always enjoy your content!
Earlier today I had searched up reviews of this camera hoping to see you had gotten yours, but no video yet. I checked back later today and here it is ! 😄
I'm reall y hyped to see comparison between this camera and the up coming Z CAM E2-S6 :)
We are in 2019, BLACKMAGIC is in 3019 😂
hahahahah literally
And canon is in 2014 😆
Disliked because by then they’ll have 100K raw at 240 frames per second
@@andrew_veale Canon is ahead in photography I think ,and they don't make a camera in this class
@@blakeok952 they have the c300 but it cost $9000 and the image quality is lower and no Raw.
This is some of the best looking footage ive seen on your channel.
Thanks for the review!
Been watching your content for a long time and I have to say, Love your selection of books placed under the BMPC!!!👌
Love the books that you chose for your thumbnail!
Whoa! That footage... REALLY AWESOME!
Videos are looking good these days thanks to Blackmagic 👍
happy birthday myan!
These cut into arri footage so easily they nailed the color science.
We have 2 of the ursa pros now and our RED just sits on the shelf.
Shaun Ortman let me guess, is equally or better than Arri Alexas?
They are pretty darn close. Highlights are a tad more harsh on ursas and there is some magic sauce in the greens on arri, but you could cut between and mix and match without any issues.
Shaun Ortman yeah i was trying to be sarcastic about BM compare to Alexa’s. I have recently shot with 4K pocket and Ursa Mini and the Dynamic range sucks compare to Arri. I also think the color space is inferior to the Arri Wide Gamut but to be honest the image quality is way better than any Sony or Canon camera out there. I would like to see Blackmagic to go all the way and try to compete with Arri, Varicam and red by building a better camera parts, accessories and put more money on the color science and dynamic range and sell the cameras a bit more expensive in order to get rid of all the quality issues that come with it. If they are making cameras this good at this price I would expect them to produce better image quality and better quality control on their products at a higher price for sure.

The dynamic range on this camera is nuts for the price AND it shoots 6k raw!!! If only it had ibis! but I honestly can't complain for the features it does have and the price. Killer camera and loved the intro sequence!
Alli and Will IBIS would be great but usually any cinema camera doesn’t have IBIS because it’s usually in a controlled environment. If you put it on a ronin it becomes that beast.
@@PARLAYSDREAM Ya, 100% but for the price, it's targeting people who aren't shooting features I think, but want cinema quality. So I think ibis will eventually make it into these small form cinema style cameras
Alli and Will the quality we can get in 2019 from most of theses cameras or “tools” far surpasses anything used in the past so if it ends up in the right hands with a great mind and vision the playing field of what can be created in my personal opinion is endless. An IBIS like the that of Panasonic would be incredible because yes this cinema camera is smaller and is on the go or handheld but we can only watch and see the beautiful progression 🙏🏻🙌🏻
@@AlliandWill it called use a tripod and learn to use a steadycam/gimbal.
There's a reason the gh5s doesn't come with IBIS. Ibis compromises image quality.
@@pahwraith I'm very familiar with tripods, steadicams and gimbals, I've been shooting commercials for over 10 years and have owned many versions of all 3, and I respectfully disagree with you. Having the IBIS feature included and the option to turn it off in the menu settings would be a plus, not a negative.
I clicked exclusively because you made me laugh with the fogger in the thumbnail. The excitement for new toys is real with me too. Dweeb squad for life. ✌️
I loved the ursa mini, glad to see bm kept the user-friendly interface. The mini is a bit unwieldy but I love the picture quality and built-in ND filters. The handheld looks like a good compromise for its compactness, but it also seems a monitor is essential if you cage it.
I never had idols in my youth but thanks to you guys and gals (Becki, Lizzie, Sorelle and co.) and of course Pete I now do.
I'm in my "late 22s" and I never felt so capable in slowly succeeding and comfortable in failing hard if I do.
A Big THANKS :)
Great content brother!!
Can't wait to see this!
Great sample footage. That is some black magic indeed!
Super helpful, thank you 👍
Personally this is the perfect camera for me. I shoot festivals and narrative shorts + commercials and I love everything with it. Yeah sure it doesn’t have a good battery life but hooking up a V-Mount battery and it runs like a charm. It’s the best camera in the industry for such a price. Well done. The filmmaking industry herby applauds Blackmagic for reinventing the market!
Z Cam E2?
@ second this recommendation. We had a Pocket on set this past weekend and after it push back our timeline because of random issues the director quickly replaced it with the E2 that I had in my car. It really fixes all of my issues I had with the pocket while adding more features because of the better processor.
@@FTGTapGod what issues were you having? Was it the 4K or 6K model? I havent heard of any reported issues so far with the 6K and mine has run flawlessly for hours.
@@cfl42864k. All inherent design flaw issues so it shouldn't make a difference whether 4k or 6k. Balancing issues, power issues, form factor oddities, electronic communication issues with certain lenses, rigging took longer than expected and it was the owner of the camera doing that, and it just overall felt like a pro spec camera trapped inside a consumer body.
You can't argue that that IMX sensor isn't great. I'm definitely not saying it can't produce a solid image, but it just wasn't as streamlined to work with as a camera designed from the ground up for cinema. To get that same sensor inside a metal body that has a great form factor and a better processor is amazing. That's why I like the E2. Same sensor, but processing allows for up to 160fps in 4k 2:4:1, 130fps in 4k 16:9, both without crop, and more useable stops of DR. It also runs on NPF batteries which with a 970 give the E2 about 4 hours of shooting at 4k.
I just wish Blackmagic spent the time to redesign some of the oddities present in the 4k before throwing out the 6k.
@@FTGTapGod Some of those are fair points. I'm sure the E2 is great. The 4K and 6K both do have quirks about them, but in my experience it's nothing that can't be solved with relatively cheap rigging options. Not sure what you mean by balancing issues. Like on a gimbal? Compared to a RED the thing weighs nothing even with a v mount on the back. And power issues can be solved with a Sony NPF or V mount very easily. I have the tilta everything for my 6K and it's a dream having a 1tb SSD and an NPF 970 in a side handle. Hours of power and then when it dies the onboard battery takes over until I can swap the NPF. It sounds like the person who owned the 4k or 6k (whichever one it was) didn't have it rigged properly because if he had then there are plenty of great solutions to solve the form factor's shortcomings. Tbh it seems like you're reaching on a lot of these points. I know several people who use the 4K for commercial shoots and absolutely love it, and I have been surprised seeing the BlackMagic 4K as a B cam on very high end shoots. These are commercials for companies like Walmart and Tyson. Also, company claims about dynamic range mean nothing. The Z cam claims 16 stops. Sure. An arri alexa claims 15 and you and I both know that nothing can touch an alexa as far as dynamic range. I'd much rather have a solid 13 stops in a very nice compressed raw codec (that's supported in Resolve natively and Premiere/Final Cut via a $30 plugin) than a claimed 16 stops in proress. All that to say, I'm sure the E2 is a great camera, and it's great that it's filling your productions needs. Hopefully I'll get to film on one sometime soon in the future! The Pocket 4K and 6K are more usable than you're giving them credit for, though.
Matti, their is a plug in you can buy for Adobe that allows you to read BRAW in premiere and after effects.
Great camera!
Hope to get a used one next year 🙌
Love the look
Great review!!
Lightworks Pro has also implemented support for Blackmagic RAW
Like the intro!!! Very impressed visuals.
Matti! The 120 FPS in 1080p does not have as crazy as a crop as the 2.8k. And it looks amazing!
damn that footage is amazing , wow wow wow im exted to see more of that
So nice dynamic range in that BM!
I was impressed with the specs, and even more impressed when you said this was all handheld lol. really lovely camera for the money.
He shot the handheld at 50 fps to reduce the shakes
DVR > premiere pro
Premiere just seems shitty to me now after making the switch.
Premiere has the entire cc behind its back. Idk how you could say that its a better choice to use dvr for everything rather than just cutting and color
Great review Matti! I was actually considering the BMPCC6K for shooting documentaries until you pointed out the data rate. If the files are that big then the 6k raw files might not make sense for long interviews.
Thanks for the good review mate.
OUTSTANDING VID MATTI! COuld you make a pocket 4k vs 6k vid? All the other ones out there are lame. THANKS!
I really love my BMPCC4K, not sure I will upgrade to the 6K. But I’m blown away by what you can get out of a camera of this size!
Wow MATTI💥😍❤️🏄👊AO GLAD TO SEE YOU MADE A BLACK MAGIC VIDEO😍💥👊👊Been WAITING FOR THIS EPIC VIDEO, CANT WAIT TO SEE
13:20 - I might disagree with not being good for doc filmmaking - I shot a mini-doc on it last month and it was amazing. I was using the L-seris batteries with an adapter and would maybe change the batteries once in a day shooting well over 2 hours of footage a day. The best part is the continuous shooting - that is so helpful for interviews knowing you can do a 30+ min interview without the camera stopping (kinda like the GH5). If you are comparing it to the RED...the RED is what they use to shoot Chef's Table - and that look amazing.
I’m the nube of all nubes, but I absolutely love editing on Resolve, it’s hours faster for me to edit from start to finish, and the fairlight and fusion apps being internal help out so much with the work flow!! I found it to be good switch.
You didn’t talk about it but the Lowlight capabilities are sick too!
And the future is here📍
Great video Matti as always, footage looks incredible. I have the 4K and it's just astounding. There is a blackmagic raw plugin for Premiere called BRAW Studio from a company called Autokroma - works seamlessly.
OMG, the intro footage was absolutely GORGEOUS! The only thing stopping me from ordering one is the lack of AF. That is a massive bummer.
Michael M. Costa almost all cinema cameras don't have AF
Great Video Matti. Man, This is a never-ending story with Cameras. It seems that when you decide what camera to buy they bomb us with a newer and better camera with better specs jajajaja.. but I've been looking at this camera since it came out. I've been wanting to get the EOS-R for a while already but eventually, it will come. Great video again Matti, god bless you and the fam and thanks for these vids man.
Matti you are funny too! WE love your humor. :)
Nice footage!
I think that the "photography" community in youtube has influenced camera companies to try harder. Great video! 👍👍
10:40 There's a third party plugin for Premiere, I don't know what is it called but it works pretty well with Premiere. It feels basically like handling redcode.
Great review. Well done. I sure that I would not sell all my other camera's for a single BMPCC 6K but it's looking good for anyone wanting to add and accessorize this cinematic camera. IMHO I think of it with some sort of power pack or V-MOUNT battery, a cage, either a t-5 and small hd monitor or a Atomos solution.
Got notification straight to comment without thinking of anything definitely it's going to be legendary like always 👌👌👌 very excited to see when you compare with your Canon EOS R
There's a plugin from Autokroma called BRAW Studio that let you edit the raw footage in adobe premiere. It's improved a lot since I did my walkthrough/review, at this point, I'd highly recommend it.
Unfortunately that plug in does not work for some reason with raw 6k. One of my announces with the 6k. Hopefully that will have an update as well.
@@juliustubbsDP I haven't tried it yet, but Autokroma said in a tweet that BRAW Studio now supports the BMPCC6K.
Just use Davinci lol. It's designed specifically with the BM sensor in mind. 3rd party plugins will never be able to achieve the same results as BM proprietary software.
@@STGFilmmakers That's fair, but not always an option. The company I work for is deep in the Adobe ecosystem, so the plugin is the best option for me, right now.
Dan Baker yea unfortunate but understandable😞
Love the cinema pocket. It is a beast of a camera. Even the lowest quality raw codec blows the 8 bit codec of my Sony away by miles! Won't even pick my Sony up anymore to shoot any cinematic content!
Also DaVinci is boss to work with. Such a versatile tool and It renders alot quicket than premiere pro! I grade all of my footage from all of my cameras in DaVinci now, then just use premiere for putting my clips and audio together.
Nice video and lovely b-roll footage! Say what you want about the form factor of BM cameras (and there's a LOT to say), but the menu system is wonderful, used the Micro in -30 celsius winter storms and awkward camera positions and even then it's a joy to set them up :)
It almost looks like I'm there! Amazing camera docs and maybe weddings or feature films. And I already have DaVinci Resolve
Thanks for the awesome news, Matti!
What did your setup look like? What lenses, stabilizer, etc. did you use? A photo (or video) would be great :)
Btw. would you recommend it for stock videos?
Mattiiiiiiiiii 💪 cool introooo
Wooooowwwww!! I want this!❤️
Great Cottage B-Roll!
LOVE this review Matti What an insane camera! which one of your LUTs did you use for the b-roll footage dude?
I use the Autokroma plugin for Premiere to import BRAW if you want to eliminate that Resolve step from your workflow.
Or just delete Adobe and use Davinci Resolve. That way you're killing like four birds with one stone.
Well Blackmagick made it to 3019 while we all are still in 2019. Amazing!
Agreed
Only the price is from 3019, the rest already existed since years :)
Matt you are correct. Every footage I see on youtube about the bmpcc 4k&6k is amazing. I own a Red ScarletW and it cost me 20k to make it usable. The bmpcc picture quality is so good, I might have to get it and test it up against my Red. Also, this camera is smaller and can do run and gun situation that my Red can't do. Yes I agree, Blackmagic has step up the game. I'm still waiting on the Sony A7SIII. I own the A7SII and sold it.
You can solve all your issues with a rig setup! I can't wait to build one out. I am still on the fence on getting this or the 4k with a speedbooster.
2 years later... which one did you get?
Great video. This camera should be compared to other cinema cameras. I cant stand why people still complains about lack of auto-focus, IBIS, or other features that are not present in cinema cameras. I hope you have a chance to compare it to an Alexa or Red. A blind test would be very interesting.
Cine Decodificado yes! Matti and Potato Jet need to get together and make that review!
Agreed many seem to forget this is a cinema camera meant for professionals and not a hybrid camera for consumers/prosumers.
@@coveredtreasuresfilmprojec7590 I would argue this camera is not meant for professionals. We had one on set this past weekend as a B Can and it pushed back our timeline multiple times because of random issues. The form factor, build quality, QC, and marketing all point towards prosumer.
Tom Antos shot what you are looking for in his most recent video with the results coming in his next video.
@@badinabadway589 I'll check it out
I want a cottage.
(Sorry, I know that’s not the point of this well done review, but that lake just looks so wonderful)
Damn I am planing to buy Canon 80d and then Matti is killing the game with this beast wow ❤️👌
Just wait for 90D.
Awesome!✌️
Still trying to get a 4k camera, but at that price I may just want to skip straight to the 6k. Awesome video, thanks Matti!
RS Warrior Bryan same
For 4k you'll need a Metabones Speedbooster for about 700$. So real price difference is only ~450-500. 6k only!!!
to add some info: you can edit BRAW in Premiere. There's a plug-in from AE scripts
No.
Omg i was thinking what an amazing image at the beginning when watching the cabin film! Insane just $2500. Hopefully cannon will make a EOSR in 6k!
