    Yes, my camera of choice for the past year and love it! Exactly the same situation with NDs for me. For me - BRAW and the handling of the camera is the gold. I kinda feel good holding it, when it doesn't look like a small photo camera and with the tilting big bright monitor right on the body. All the wins. The perfect handling especially with the cage where the ssd mount is by default.

    Agree on the batteries - I’ve bought a number of different brands and I was surprised how they do not perform equivalently. The Blackmagic batteries outperform the cheaper options every time. You get what you pay for applies very much. I have the Tilta cage (I’m all in on Tilta) and focus grip which houses a 560 battery - this gives quiet a few hours of runtime.

    Crane 3S is no where near a BAD gimbal. It’s just older at this point and doesn’t have all the bells and whistles some of the newer DJI gimbals do. But I will say for heavier/bigger setups there is NO sub $1K gimbal that outdoes the Crane 3S. I loved mine, I just didn’t need the size of it anymore

    Honestly I don't really get the idea of wanting this to become a "box" style camera besides it may look cooler.. you will HAVE to rig it up for handheld, unlike what the 6k pro allows you to basically use it as is. and if you need to rig the camera up for larger shoots, what is the difference between the current style and a box? you would still need to use a cage for both.

  • @initialfocus

    A lot of it has to do with gimbal compatibility. Pocket cameras are notorious for not balancing properly on many gimbals due to the awkward size and weight distribution. Box cameras are much better at this. Plus you wouldn’t have to rig up a box. Look at the Komodo. At a side handle and clean monitor on top and you’re done for a basic setup.
