This IS NOT a list of things I Dislike about my BMPCC! Just a list of things I regret not knowing sooner! Overall, I love this camera so far!
Here is a list of things that I REGRET not knowing about my BMPCC 6k and had to learn the hard way! I made this video to hopefully save you some time when using your BMPCC! My favorite thing is this video is the Power Solutions for the BMPCC! Off-Brand LP-E6 Batteries die at around 40%, but with these much larger batteries you get much more battery life!

UPDATE: With this battery you are best to go from DC out to Dummy Battery inside the camera. The voltage is correct for the Dummy Battery as some are saying that the camera shuts down due to the battery outputting 7.4v instead of the inteded 12v to the DC in. As I have personally had no problems with the batteries, I would probably recommend going from DC to Dummy battery. JUST TO BE SAFE.
Forgot to mention: I DO NOT recommend getting cheap, off brand LP-E6 batteries off of amazon! They all die at about 40% and I’ve bought 6 different ones! So these new batteries are a breath of fresh air! If you’ve had better experiences with off brand batteries, let me know!
Chris Franklin good info
Just checked out That battery
It says DC 5-8volts
But the blackmagic operates at 12-14 volts
Do u experience any low voltage issues
Or am I overthinking ,is all well
@@boounce211 So I've had no issues personally! BUT, checking through a few comments I've received, people are saying that you should use a dummy battery instead of the 2 pin just to be safe.
V mount batteries worked well for me because it helps balance the rig out when you have heavy cinema lens in the front and also helps power the monitor and the camera and all of your other accessories but again this is my personal preference , btw I love your video , keep up the good work
Ambrose Iu I use a V mount a lot as well! I’m traveling light on a trip and wanted something other than my larger V Mount! Thanks btw!!
@@ChrisFranklinJr looks like those batteries are unavailable now on amazon.. I Can't seem to find any others that have that DC output
I love your enthusiasm, I've been looking into this camera and I'm nearly sold. Thank you so much for the helpful tips.
Super helpful Chris :) Thanks a lot! We're looking at the BMPCC 6k for our channel - maybe a couple -- and this really helps!
Also, loving your style. Smooth presentation, so chill. It's really nice to see. Subscribed and hoping to get more vids!
So so glad you enjoyed!! More to come!
You are such a light! such a great energy and so engaging. thank you for making these so beautiful and intentional
Thank you so much! More to come!
Useful info! Thank you :) My BMPCC6K arrived last week and I am just beyond stoked to have it in my arsenal 🙏
Enjoy it!! It's an awesome camera to have!
Overall a well done video! It's nice seeing a video once in a while that doesn't start out with someone yelling HEY WHAT'S UP GUYS! Voice was clear and background is not distracting.
Haha thank you so much! I try to keep things chill yet interesting!
I definitely learned something from this video. Thank you for posting it. I plan on picking up one or two of these camera. Thank you!
Well we r going to learn together... Just ordered mine...and building my rig as we speak. I look forward to your channel.
So happy to hear!!
Dude! Great vid. Can I say how nice it is to have such a concise video about this cam. I have a p6k and I’ve watched a million different vids about it and yours explained the dual native gain the best and really felt like advice for practical use. Also, again, so refreshing how it wasn’t 30 minutes long with rambling commentary about random nonsense. Thanks!
I'm so glad that I can keep it as short and sweet as possible!! Here to help!!
I did not know that about dual native ISO. You were right, I did learn new things from this video! Thanks!
GoatToaster 9 it’s a super handy feature to Have!! Thanks for watching!!
At first I thought: Okay, what comes now. And then you came with the Battery and you got me.
One of the best and most informative videos I’ve seen about the BMPCC6K. Thanks Chris
Great info, man. I just love the image quality coming out of this camera, regardless everything ppl say about battery (which thanks to you we know a trick now), autofocus, etc. So, Thank you!
Same!! It's still worth it in the end!!
Ouch, or should I say Wow, this helped . So much better than all the heavy rigs I've seen. Thanks.
Big Shot Movieverse thanks!! I love this new slimmed down rig! Works perfectly!
That's a really good video.. I also have a BMPCC6K and the fact that your middle name is Albert changed my life and career of filmmaking, thank you so much!
LOL! The path of knowledge has been opened!!
🤣🤣🤣💯💯💯
You have an easy going- great delivery style making this video very watchable. Excellent info! Thanks
yep....we need that Dual native ISO Video!!!
David Turk I can do that!!
yes i agree on that dual native vid pls. sweet tips tho!
Very helpful! Because of this video I ordered similar batteries to power my BM 6K. Thank you!
Here to help!!
Some really helpful info, well-presented and no filler. Thanks!
Thanks bro. Good info!
this is a very informative video, glad I subscribed, keep it up man!!!
I'll be renting a 6k for a short film this spring and this is greatly helpful, thank you so much!
Here to help!!
Hands down the best BMPCC video out there, very helpful. Thanks!
Yooo! Thank you so much!!
That potrait behinD you Made my Day 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Much love!!
thanks for the great ideas on simplifying the set up
GREAT VIDEO MAN! LEARNED MORE THAN A FEW THINGS. GOING TO PICK UP SOME OF THOSE BATTERIES ASAP
Glad I could help!!
How do you not have more subscribers? Your videos are some of the best on UA-cam in this category! Thanks for dropping the knowledge about the BMCC6k that I was looking for!
Thank you so much!! More subs will come one day! More BMPCC 6k videos ahead as well!!
This is a FANTASTIC video! Great job!!!!
thanks helpful tips been thinking about getting this for a while so good to hear your perspective on it
I just released a fully updated version of the build I use now! So it's been fantastic using this camera!
I knew about that atrocious battery life but the rest were new tips and much appreciated. Thank you!!
Glad it was helpful!
Great style and content, subbed. We are picking up a black magic 6k at work, so it's handy to know this sort of stuff!
Thank you so much!! The BMPCC is an incredible camera!
Thank you! I am still trying to decide to go with this camera or the Sigma FP.
Great video thanks bud... Best, Chris.
Glad you enjoyed!
Great tips, Chris. Thanks very much.
Clive Richards thanks for watching!! Glad I could help!!
Not sure which video I like better, this one or the rigging the bmpcc 6k. Thanks for making these!
Glad you enjoy them! I just released a new one yesterday!
Gonna have to experiment with multiple mics. That's super helpful. Thank you!
This was a really fun watch. Keep it up man.
Johan Taljaard thank you so much!!
Great energy, so smart!
Great video, Fam. Super helpful!
Here to help!!
Awesome explanation!
Well delivered!
Glad you liked it!
Thank for making this vid! Really good info in here, Im thinking about picking this up because i wanna learn a RAW workflow. Is there anything you hate about this camera? Id be comming from a sony a7iii and i wanna make sure im making the right choice. Anyways thanks for the great content
There's not much that I really dislike about this camera. All of my nitpicks can be solved with a work around! I do wish the screen articulated haha. But the RAW workflow is smooth. I came from the A7iii as well and the files were much easier to handle and edit! So, look forward to that! The BMPCC is a really solid camera, so enjoy it!
@@ChrisFranklinJr I’m upgrading from a dslr to either the Sony a7iii or bmpcc6k, do you think the jump is too much ? Should I start w the Sony a7iii? Also for shooting on-the-move type of things like vlogs or shows do you think this camera would handle well as I see it’s a more cinematic film type camera and doesn’t have continuous autofocus. I really want the 6k quality but I’m not sure if it’s practical to have it as my primary camera ? Helppp plz lol
its funny how videos way back (2 years old) still bring so much value! Reason Nr. 1 getting into youtube makes 100 times more sense then IG.
Subbed and learned a lot. Thank you
Getting the camera this week thanks for the tips
Here to help!
Subscribed!
Thanks Albert!
Welcome aboard!
love these tips man and your aset up is great!
Glad to hear it! Thanks!!
Great video. Jist found your channel on this video and I'm subbed. Great stuff man.
Thank you so much!!
ook I just commented on your other Blackmagic video and this follow-up helped a ton! Thanks again for your videos!! sub'd and hit that bell
David Turk YES! This is the rig style I use the most!!! I’m literally using it right now! It’s lighter and has a great power solution!
Nice clean video dude! That camera looks like a beast, would love to give it a try.
PeteyBoy TV Thanks!!
Hi Chris, great content right here! If you´re looking for some inspiration for new content, maybe you could do a complete tutorial of using the bmpcc6k? Which bitrate you´re choosing, audio settings, white balance, when to choose which frame rate, etc... that´s something youtube is really missing right now :)
David Karg thank you so so much!! I can definitely get on that! I’ll start writing down ideas for that ASAP!
Thanks for the tip on the 120 FPS quick-access function. I found myself not shooting that buttery 120 slow-mo because of this lol
Glad I could help!! It's crazy smooth!
Ok Albert! 😜 Ngl ive been eyeing that camera for awhile but i would have to play with it hands on to see if i can really rock with it
LOL! I regret posting this already! lolol, But you definitely should! I "liked " it before I bought it, but now that I have it, I LOVE it!
Well it’s nice and cheap at 1,999 right now
Thanks for the video ! liked and subbed
Thanks for the sub!
Hey man! I did learn a few things!
I got a question for ya.
So when you are shooting in your "3200" native iso range, are you @ 1250 or actually 3200? I've heard somewhere to shoot in 1250 and the chart you're showing for the 3200 range starts at 1250 as well. I always just assumed that the native ISO was @1250 because of that.
Thanks for the video and love your content man! Easy to watch, love the quality and super dope hat
Solid question! So your native ISO is going to give you the best dynamic range "For the ISO group". So as you stated, you enter into the upper ISO threshold when you cross ISO 1250. When you are shooting RAW, if you cross ISO 1250, you start exposing better for your shadows, and if you go into Post and try to adjust your ISO, the lowest ISO you can go is 1250 because you are now in that upper threshold. If you are shooting at ISO 400, in post, you can drop to ISO 100 or go up to ISO 1000, but you cannot go past 1000 because you filmed closer to the native ISO of 400 rather than the Native ISO of 3200. I hope that makes sense. I know that was a TON.
TLDR: you have an upper and lower ISO. When shooting raw and below 1250, you have access to all of your lower ISO's in post. When shooting RAW and 1250 & above, you have access to all of your upper ISO levels. Native ISO of 400 & 3200 gives you the camera best dynamic range. (even though the upper level starts at 1250)
Man good video, super informative, clean ..... I just subscribed, thanks
Thank you so much!! Super glad you enjoyed!
New subscriber. Just picked up this camera and ready to do the dance! Great Video.
Thanks for the sub! And you're gonna love it!
Greate video !!...just one thing, I love the way it looks the video itself, what do you use ? Keep going and Tx!
Chris. GREAT VIDEO! This is my first time in your channel
On min 3 you said that if we want to see a Dual native ISO video, we let you know
I really like to see it!
Thanks in advance and sorry for my Egnlish; i'm still learning
No worries!! I can definitely get on that!!
very dope video brother!! instantly subbed up
MUCH LOVE! I appreciate it!
Good looks, I've been running a 5 in. external for a minute now and have low-key hated it.
I completely agree about the battery life. I’m gonna have to check out those NPF batteries. I’ve seen a few people using them but I haven’t tried to find any for myself, but I had a shoot this morning on my BMPCC4K and the battery life was killing me because it was so cold. Ended up shooting almost all the B-roll on my canon rp and just shot the interview on the Blackmagic.
The battery life is quite the problem! I defintely recommend checking out those NPF batteries! They've been working flawlessly for me, especially since I pretty much always use a monitor!
Chris Franklin nice! I have a different monitor but it also takes NPF power so that’s a perfect solution. Do you leave the LP-E6 in the camera while shooting on those or is that not recommended? I’d think you’d want an LP-E6 in there as a back up but I’m not sure.
@@CorbanLaFon I do! Just in case the bigger battery dies, I have the ability to hot swap! But you can honestly do either!
Chris Franklin cool! I was just curious if there were any issues with doing that. I thought there probably wouldn’t be since there aren’t any issues doing that when I plug into a wall.
@@CorbanLaFon Exactly! So no worries there!
Great video! Can you show some videos about it’s focus system and how you keep your videos in focus when using it? With video example? But new subscriber here! Great stuff
I just uploaded a new video where I address your comment! Thanks for commenting!
Great Review!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great job!
Great tips! Subscribed
THANKS!
So clear, thank you! I’m coming from shooting only stills with a rather ancient Canon 1D and 1Ds, after having taken a bit of a break from photography. No autofocus cinema is a different world, but I will learn how to use my new BMPCC6k to shoot horse shows. It’s a steep learning curve and I appreciate helpful videos like yours.
Yeah that can be a tough adjustment! But you got this!!
Yo bro what cable do you use to connect the battery to the bmpcc?
Great video!
Eric Wheelwright thank you so much!!
Great video, subbed 👌
Thank you so much!
amazing content, dude, really like your style, the chill vibe and everything!
Dan Iliev thank you so much!! Like, honestly! Much more content to come!
@@ChrisFranklinJr almost 7 years as a youtuber, never met/watched someone that made me rest that much... i mean, keep up, you got great future here!
btw, i've never went to buy something right after i saw the thing, you made me do it with the wireless follow focus system... i was like "this thing costs half my a73" than saw the price and now i'm waiting the delivery :D
Dan Iliev that’s gotta be one of the best things I’ve heard since I started this channel! Thank you so much!! Glad you’re here for the ride!
Dan Iliev also, so glad you ordered!!
You need to take a tour through the manual. The external power input is rated for 10.8V to 20V. The output of the battery you're using is 7.4V nominal, which the camera was not designed to use. Maybe it's worked for you so far but you really don't know how close you are to the actual lower voltage threshold at which the camera will work, which may change with temperature or camera settings. Short statement: don't power the Pocket 6K (or 4K) the way you're doing it.
hmmm, interesting. I m using the same method he is using, and now after months of extensive use, my camera doesn't turn on anymore via dummy battery when the ambient temperature it's below 55 F (luckily I live in LA so that's rare). It always turns on when I plug the camera with the Wall power no matter what temperature it is. But guess what, If I warm up the camera body then the camera turns on with that method he is using. Something weird is definitely going on. You seem to know some stuff about power and I was wondering if you could explain this weird side effect I'm getting with the camera. I mean you kinda did in the previous comment, but you got my attention when you mentioned that temperature might affect it. My camera also doesn't power anymore via LP E6 batteries when it's 55 F or below :/ So I know something is definitely off. At the moment If I work in conditions of 55 F or colder my only option is to plug the camera to the wall, or warm up the camera a little bit somewhere, turn it on, and don't turn it off or it won't power back on unless the body got warm enough by using the camera itself.
@@AxiA The UA-camr is using the external power input. I you're using a dummy battery, then you are operating within the rated range for the internal battery. I would say that there's a component in the internal battery to camera powering circuit that fails due to temperature, since you say that you can always power the camera with the AC converter that comes with the camera. Since the camera is rated for operation between 32F to 104F, I would contact BMD if your camera is within warranty.
@@michaelandreas2177 Thank you! Yes will do!
@@michaelandreas2177 Michael! Thank you so much for you comment! So when I use this method, I also keep the internal battery in the camera, and essentially I am charging the internal battery while using the external. Is this basically the same bad Idea or should i just switch to a dummy battery in total. (Which I have and use but did not mention in the video, forgot lol)
@@ChrisFranklinJr Ever so much more a reason to read the manual. It recommends against having an internal battery at the same time as a power source like this. I 1000% endorse that recommendation.
Well presented. We'll presented.
Thank you for this video. Clear explanation. Easy to understand. These tips will help me along my journey. #suscribed
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for subscribing! More help to come!
Thanks for the vid. Gotta say, your audio is top notch. Looks like the room you are in is really live, but you got reverb under control. What mic and recorder did you use on this video?
Marin Real Estate Photography thanks!! Yeah I bought a huge rug to kinda help, about to but some sound blanket to help even more! Microphone: AT875R Recorder: Zoom H6!
@@ChrisFranklinJr Thanks!!!
@@marinrealestatephotography No problem!
Thanks mate. Will you cover the IR pollution issue on your review? 🙂
Paule Porter I can definitely do that! The topic is relatively new to me, but I’ll get some research in and make something on it!
Thanks bro!
No problem!
The battery you suggested isn't available on Amazon so Im going thru eBay can't wait to try it out...thank you for your great tips!
Marc Castillo glad I could help!! And ahhh, thanks for pointing that out, gonna have to try to find an updated link!
@@ChrisFranklinJr have you updated it?
JimiMpanza the current link is working and goes to the batteries that I bought!
Thanks man! Good stuff. Nice middle name :)
thank you Albert
TPRYS | Tepri Hahaha! You’re most welcome!!
Are you currently regretting stepping away from the A7III? Maybe you could do a pros/cons video comparing the two cameras?
Shane! I'm currently keeping both but I really like the footage that I'm getting from the BMPCC 6K! I'm going to test it out more! But I can definitely make a video like that soon!
great video!
Thanks for watching!!
Great video Chris,maybe the most infomative on youtube.Any idea how to use my full frame canon EF lenses with no crop?(EF to EF speedbooster? --> Not the LucAdapter)
Thank you so much! And to my knowledge, you're always going to get a SLIGHT crop if you use a speedbooster. And they currently only have speedboosters for the Pocket 4K!
Sounds about right! Thanks for the input
Guru nanak ji at the back wall ❤️
Bless bro
Much Love bro!
Hey Chris! Thx :) ... .and what are your favorite lenes for the 6k? :)
SSCM 527 my current favorites at the moment are the Sigma 18-35mm F/1.8 (great focal length for the crop sensor and it can get SUPER close, almost macro close) and I also like the Rokinon 85mm T/1.5! Super cheap but it’s great to reach things that are just a little too far away!!
So underrated man! Love your content 🙏
Frederik Sørensen Thank you so much!! It really means a lot! I just checked out your page, you have some amazing videos!! Crazy talented! Subscribed!
Chris Franklin Appreciate that man! Keep grinding!
Frederik Sørensen absolutely!! Same to you!
Also a good and cheaper monitor: Feelworld FW279 7 Zoll Ultra Bright 2200 nits. My BMPCC shuts down, when it`s at 40% battery life (NPF with dummy). The best battery I found (dc out) is the BAXXTAR PRO 10500mAh.
AyBee thank you so much for the input! I’m currently getting yes full battery life but that could change! I’m gonna check out those batteries you recommended! And I’ve heard so much about that monitor! I’m gonna check it out!!
Great channel my friend!
Thank you so much!
Very useful. I am working on a channel (not restricted to youtube) and was debating the Blackmagic vs. the Panasonic Lumix G85. Those to seemed to be the most economical "point and shoot" alternatives under $2,000. (I am managing marketing, screenwriting, legal & copyright, musical composition, video/audio editing, so need to let go of control over some overly technical elements like mastering every element of cinematography.) Blackmagic seems to be the ticket for affordable 4k. For battery life, I was thinking of just doing the battery grip and charging a couple extra NP-F570 batteries for all day (8-10 hour) shoots. The 7 inch screen will definitely be added. Are you still satisfied or would you recommend continuing the research? Great video, very helpful btw.
Very very satisfied personally!
My husband bought this rig from your video but the monitor batter won't charge the camera to stay on. Does the camera HAVE to be connected on the top on the mini USB or could it connect in the bottom?
The batteries have changed a lot since I first did this video, I would encourage you to use a dummy battery or grab the PowerBase Edge!
Thanks for sharing! I own a BMPCC too!
You're welcome! And How do you like it?! I've had mine for about a month, and I'm slowly figuring things out!
@@ChrisFranklinJr Love it. Filmed Chapter 5 of my Little Brother series years ago on it: ua-cam.com/video/4GzTv56wtOo/v-deo.html
@@ChrisFranklinJr But the battery life I can't handle anymore. The SD cards are a mess, so now I'm going to do an SSD drive. I'm going to trick it out beginning of March because I love the look so much.
would love to see/learn about DUAL NATIVE ISO!
I can do that!!
how do you change the apperture on those lens?
Thanks
Thanks, Albert.
LoL! No problem!
@@ChrisFranklinJr Been using it for the last few weeks. Amazing.
@@alexiscanovas46 Heck yeah! Good to hear!
I didn't know you have to keep the base FPS low if you want to enable HFR/OSR. Why is that? As for the monitor, I wish Atomos would make a 7" version of the Shinobi!!!! Good call on the ISO Range. I learned that after doing a few shoots!
Driven Films to my knowledge, when you set an off speed shutter, it offsets based on the current shutter speed you have. So if you’re at 60 trying to offset to 120, it’s only a 50% reduction in speed rather than if you were at 24 offsetting to 120. Then that would give you much slower footage representing true 120 FPS. And a 7” Shinobi would be amazing!!
Good job bud 👍
Thanks!!
Great Video!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much!!
@@ChrisFranklinJr Absolutely!!!!!
For those just entering the world of BlackMagic in 2021, would you still recommend the 6k as a good entry point or the 6k Pro? Preference being not having to make a purchase and then feel like you need to upgrade within a year. Thanks and great video!
Definitely the 6K Pro! I wish it was around when I was buying!
@@ChrisFranklinJr appreciate the response!
Great and informal video! Thanks! Gave you a sub to 🤙🏼 cheers
Hey, I know you're busy...I've decided to go with the 6K, I have events coming and I'd like to get in the practice before I jump out running. Yours is set up to be an on the go rig, what would you suggest? Could you list it, so I can buy it under your code. Especially, if you get the credit or commission.
Sorry for the delay! I appreciate your thoughtfulness! I have a few rig builds on the channel and you're free to use any links, it works all the same. But if not, HONESTLY, no worries! I'm just glad you tuned in!
