The new extended mode gives you the latitude of film with the convenience of video, so you get great looking images without having to do a lot of work in post-production. Powerful live switcher with 8 standards converted 3G-SDI inputs, built in hardware streaming engine, multiview, USB webcam, DVE, chroma key, media player and ISO recording of all 8 video inputs. Ultra HD video, the Super 35 size sensor with global shutter and 12 stop dynamic range are among its most impressive features.

But don't forget, the word "Production," does imply a professional tool in which a steady mount is considered standard. You also get lots of mounting points, a mini XLR input with phantom power, Bluetooth control and more. Award winning DP Overton used URSA Mini Pro 12K OLPF and Pocket Cinema Camera 4K digital film cameras to shoot season two of “Killing It”. Cinema Camera, and the 4K Production Camera, to my mind, are the most practical low-cost/high-quality cameras currently available for DIY filmmakers.The perfect mini studio camera features a cinematic 4K sensor up to 25,600 ISO, MFT lens mount, 12G-SDI and HDMI, 3. The multifunction handgrip features an ergonomic design that puts important functions such as ISO, WB and shutter buttons at your fingertips. The portable handheld design of the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K gives you incredible mobility without sacrificing features.

If you're positioning the camera on the end of a boom, or in another hard to reach location, you can get full control via Bluetooth from up to 30 feet away. Still images are saved as fully uncompressed DNG frames, so you get the maximum image quality, which is perfect for making professional prints. I’ve been shooting on the Cinema Camera for nearly a year and all of my accessories work on the Production Camera as well as they do on the Cinema Camera.Unlike the Cinema and Pocket Cameras, which have sensors that split the difference between MFT and Super-16, the Production Camera has a legit Super-35 sensor. A DaVinci project is saved for editing and relinking to Blackmagic RAW files for Ultra HD finishing. The 6K models feature an EF lens mount so you can use lenses you already own from other cameras such as DSLR, URSA Mini Pro or even the original Blackmagic Cinema Camera!

All ATEM Mini models have USB that works like a webcam so you can use any streaming software while the ATEM Mini Pro model adds live streaming via Ethernet and recording to USB disks. To process the DNG files in DaVinci Resolve 11, also made by Blackmagic, I would set the timeline to 4k DCI Flat 1. The Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K can record at up to 60 frames per second in 4K and up to a massive 120 frames per second for windowed HD. The S35mm sized sensor, the 4K ProRes, and the Global Shutter have all become something I have enjoyed quite a lot from this camera and I look forward to diving deeper into the nuances of the 4K Production Camera in the coming weeks and to share with you all my experiences and thoughts. While there are no more rolling shutter issues, we did notice there is a very slight lag in the LCD screen response as compared to the Blackmagic Cinema Camera that becomes most evident when doing fast pans.

This model includes all the features of the 5 inch model, but has a much larger 7 inch screen, 2 SD Card slots so recording can continue when a card becomes full and 2 mini XLR audio inputs. With the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K you get a fully featured portable digital film camera that’s flexible and expandable. There’s even a speaker located near the screen, which makes it easy to quickly play back and review shots on set.
