I bought the Blackmagic 6k Pro because it was my dream camera as a musician (not a filmmaker). No other camera that I researched was giving me that same level of gear lust and I'm so glad this is the one I chose. It's absolutely inspiring and exciting to use - something necessary for me to tear away from my music gear and be excited to work on the visuals as well. The image quality is just so STUPIDLY good that it just elevates the visuals for anything you put it on to a level that creating emotions from your footage is almost easy. I don't know anything about camera tech or making films, but I do know that the image on the Blackmagic looks jaw-dropping straight from the lens. Now I'm learning how to make better music videos for my channel!
Yeah man. I’ve had the bmpcc 6k pro for about 3 months now and LOVEEEEEEEEE IT. don’t care what people say about the super 35 sensor. Learn to deal with it. It’s a beast with quality.
@@skylerburtphotos did you know that part of the Falcon & Winter Soldier was shot on the BMPCC 6k? I'm not sure how much of it was, but there was a clip spotted in the behind the scenes of it. If it's good enough for Marvel, it's good enough for donuts and whiskey.
Solid camera. 120 FPS is also solid and crisp. You are going to enjoy the camera and all that you can do in post. I love my 6k. Going on a year and continue to find ways to get a better image out of it. Enjoy!
I just upgraded to 3 BMPCC 6K Pros with one BMPCC 4K as an overhead camera. I can't be happier with the results, and my audience has started commenting on how spectacular the footage looks now. I just added the probe lens and wow - really epic shots going on now! Thanks for this video!
If I wanted to use this camera to shoot still images, what's that experience like? I realise it is a movie camera, but it has a great sensor, and I'm wondering whether the stills photography side of it is good enough that I could leave my Canon DSLR body at home if I want to save space in my bag on a given day.

Well, you can shoot ProRes and get rid of the crop (in some cases).
that is what I thought. I just left a comment above. I want this camera, I will shoot proRes 422 4k so no crop?

@@ReganRoss I don't really know how is this camera, but my UMP4.6k and my P4K only crop in prores if I go above 60/75fps. The fact that lower res raw is cropped is not somebodies fault, it's just how RAW works.
BM is really nice especially if you already own canon ef lenses, but if you are really considering to switch to let's say an A1 with 3 lenses (20mm f1.8, 90mm 2.8 macro, and probably a 40mm Zeiss Batis or the new 50mm f1.2 GM) you will have all your needs covered in one body (amazing video with virtually no limitations, 50 megapixel stills at 30fps if needed, and the most amazing autofocus, all in a super small package). What I love about the Sony system right now is the mirrorless lens eco-system which is huge with Tamron, sigma, voigtlander, samyang, laowa, 7 artisans, Zeiss, etc)
You should be shooting at the native iso (400), you have batter dr with the native iso's, even thou it may sound strange, your kinda ruining your highlights by shooting at 200 iso. Anyway great video, i enjoyed it, thanks for the content!
Do you still recommend to go docs 60 watch as a great video light. I’m looking to make cooking shows at my house and need a continuous light. I’m looking at the Amaran 200d LED Video Light, 250W any advice?
I have a BMPCC 4k and yeah, the crop is an issue. Like you, I have decided it's just easier to record everything in 4k and put up with burning loads of terabytes. Hey, it's still a lot cheaper than nitrate stock!
I am a fanboi of blackmagic. This camera really looks great, but for my use case it is missing a usable autofocus. Any recommendation in a price range up to and below a BMPCC6KPro? (I own EF-Lenses).
Yeah the xT3 is my other camera and it's great for what I do, the AF works fine. With the Fringer adapter you can even get AF for your Canon lenses. Yeah I'm sure the xT4 is even better coupled with IBIS
Love the look of that rear screen - looks a lovely camera - but Im so deep in FCP that switching to resolve is a no go for me. Plus all my work is social media 1080p at the moment - so probably overkill for the res that I need.
There’s a cheap plug-in that lets you import BRAW directly into FCP (that’s what I use too) but I just shoot in prores and it’s no problem at all. Plus the 4k is a downscaled 6k image when shooting in ProRes so it’s really purty
It's not as bad as I make it sound, you might have to move a few feet backwards to get the frame you want. But one thing I didn't mention is that the 6k files at 12:1 are actually around the same or lighter than my 4k h.265 files from my fujifilm xt3
Hey - when I researched, there is a mode of 4k that does not crop the sensor. Is that not accurate? I think there is 4kDCI and another 4K mode. I am considering this camera but do not want the 4k crop.
@@johnnyweissmuller5838 Ease of use. The XT3 produces great results but the workflow is so much better having two dedicated cameras. Ill never go back.
@@skylerburtphotos is it servicable for moving action shots? or does its lack of facial auto focus force you into buying a canon or sony that has this feature?
Hello, I bought the camera a week ago. Everything looks great to me but I have a problem with the internal ND. it does not change me from ND2 to ND4 or to ND6 it got stuck in ND2. Do you know what could be causing this?
Depends, did you put a PL to EF adapter on and use a PL mount cine lens without checking the flange depth and damage the housing to the filter? Some PL lenses can be adapted and used on this camera but not all specifically because of the nd filter... If you did none of that then I would contact blackmagic... If you did do that I would still contact blackmagic.
Really like how your vid was somewhat straight forward and to the point. I also just got the BMPC 6k Pro with a Tokina 11-20mm T2.9 cine lens after returning the sigma 18-35mm f1.8 because tooooooo many people have that combo. I want to see your results using my combination. Buy the lens then return it for a full refund. Thanks
I fux with you bro!!!!! I have the pocket 4K and it’s still amazing!!!! Now I’m torn between the ursa12 and 6kpro.. for my next Cam…. Here’s the kicker tho, I’m ready to buy either BUT!!!! I know black magic is brewing on something else any day now!!!🤦🏽♂️ what you think I should do? Thanks bro!!
So wait, the 6k crops too? Hell, why 4k is always cropped? Is there a camera in 4k that doesn't crop? Aside from the R6. I'm... Not impresse by the ND filters honestly. I still want to like this camera and understand if it suits me.
I have it, and it depends what “better” means to you. It’s two very different looks. Use the R5 when I want a very digital look that’s hyper quick, but I grab the 6k pro if I want a really beautiful filmic look and If the shoot requires better dynamic range
Good review! However, the image quality I see comming out of this camera is not cinematically organic at all. The film look is everything to me and is what Blackmagic is all about. This camera struggles with it. It's a shame I'll have to re invest in the original pocket gem which makes the image quality of this cam look inferior, in HD mind you. Blackmagic messed up this time, they're camera images look like Sony images. Ugh no!

It was at the top of my list, before I pulled the trigger on the BM6KPRO but it always comes down to budget. A1 + Lenses = $$$$
@@skylerburtphotos I feel you 100%! a switch might not be the most prudent move during a pandemic of these proportions! =(
So many beautiful cameras today. We spoiled
Love the energy on the screen Mate. Great Vid! 🙌
Great video. Thanks for the example shots. Loved them.
built-in ND filters are awesome...
You can still shoot 4K in prores using the entire sensor. BTW great video.
That at the end "now you have to create" so good
Excellent review! thanks for sharing

I'm kinda of new isn't lower iso better?
Always happy to get a Skyler “new video” notification in my inbox. Always something new to learn from you. Thanks

I hate not knowing when a new video is out! Loved this one btw
I always look forward to your videos. You are the one that got me into food photography 😊
I've been rocking this camera since it came out. It still inspires me 📷📸

Yeah I get that. Luckily I don't use AF for what I do. You might want to check out a Sony or Pano camera and use an adapter
@@skylerburtphotos Thanks mate!
@ozayevable will have a look. thank you :D
Yeah the xT3 is my other camera and it's great for what I do, the AF works fine. With the Fringer adapter you can even get AF for your Canon lenses. Yeah I'm sure the xT4 is even better coupled with IBIS
Of course there is always a follow focus. You'll get lots of practice if ya do a lot of shot where focus changes 😉

If you shoot ProRes you can shoot without the crop. From 4k to 1080 all full sensor.
Wooow... I love it
Nice! thanks for the video... that crop though 😂
Great video sir . Nice to see the crop comparison over image quality .
Love it !
Black magic 6k vs Sony fx3? I’m trying to choose
Looks really good! Do you still use the fujifilm cameras? or has this replaced that completely?
Lovely work as always!
Love your passion about your work. hope you enjoy your new gear
Great video sir
Is there any crop when you shoot 1080p 60fps? Thanks!

The only thing that stops me from purchasing it is auto focussss
Do you suffer from it and is it easy to handle?
Its not really as good as you may think in all cases. High frame rate is cropped for example and its not very high for delicious slowmo for me.
Pocket 6K Pro in the near future for me!
