Simon Kidd’s design for the Pocket Cinema Camera 6K was made for indie filmmakers and TV and web broadcasters.
The handsomely designed, sleek camera offers the image quality needed for seamless integration into Hollywood workflows indistinguishable from cameras costing five times as much.
The 6K Pro model features 2 mini XLR connections, allowing customers to record 2 separate audio tracks using 2 mics, without an external mixer.
The four built in mics have an extremely low noise floor and are shock and wind-resistant, capturing great sound in any location.
There’s also a 3.5mm audio input for connecting video camera microphones, along with a built-in speaker for playback and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
The extra resolution inherent in 6K allows handheld footage to be reframed and stabilized without affecting image quality.
The EF lens mount accommodates larger photographic lenses for shallower depth of field and engaging, cinematic images with defocused backgrounds.
Its carbon fiber composite body has the strength and rigidity of die-cast steel at half the weight and cost with refined ergonomics for secure one-handed shooting.
The Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K and 6K use removable LP-E6 type batteries while the 6K Pro model uses larger NP-F570 batteries.
A locking DC power connector is used so customers won’t have to worry about losing power during a shoot.
Plus, the included AC plug pack can power the camera and charge the battery simultaneously.
Even the USB-C expansion port can trickle charge the battery, so customers can use portable battery packs, mobile phone chargers or laptops.
The optional battery grip lets customers add extra batteries to dramatically extend the power of the camera so customers can keep shooting all day.
All Pocket Cinema Camera models include a full version of DaVinci Resolve Studio, which is the same software used in Hollywood for creating high-end feature films, episodic television shows, commercials and more.
DaVinci Resolve features the new cut page with intelligent editing tools and innovative new features designed to help customers quickly find the footage customers want, edit it together and output it fast.
In addition to the new cut page, customers also get DaVinci’s legendary professional editing, advanced color correction, audio post and visual effects tools, all in a single software application.
“With the new Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro, we wanted to include all the high-end features from digital film cameras into a Pocket Cinema Camera design,” said Grant Petty, Blackmagic Design CEO.
“This means you get an extremely portable digital film solution but with all the advanced features like the amazing ND filters, optional viewfinder and bright HDR touchscreen.”
“We think our digital filmmaker customers will love it!”
