Red is not "any camera" not untill the day my grandma pulls one out her purse and wants a selfie.

I am so glad you did this. I value your perspective. I have operated a RED on a feature film, but cannot afford one. When this came out the spec's really impressed me. I believe watching a film shot with a RED, and then another shot with this, the audience would not be able to tell the difference. For the price you cannot beat it. I would LOVE to see a video on the rig.

I do laugh at Netflix list of approved cameras and formats. Yet nearly every show I watch is produced using old video formats from eons ago or stacks of footage derived from iPhones or security cameras bla bla bla.

Was gutted for you when I saw you'd uploaded today of all days. But so relieved to see you managed to squeeze in the BRAW news :) Today is the camera's biggest day yet. Looking forward to some of your thorough BRAW tests ;)

I ordered this camera after renting it. Amazing!!! Definitely knew after the rental I needed a really well thought out plan for batteries - I went with the Core SWX Powerbase (this thing runs for over 3 hours per charge!). I love that it sits underneath the camera and adds weight like you mention is needed to do any handheld. The battery pack has an adapter that slides right in with a dummy battery. Adorama is also bundling the camera and Powerbase right now for $170 off.

I started shooting with the BMPCC4K about 3 months ago and I absolutely love it. I also use the Sony A7iii but nothing beats RAW so the Sony has taken a back seat for video work. Most of the videos on my channel were shot with the BMPCC4K if anyone wants to see test footage and broll before buying this camera. It’s definitely a lot of work to get the footage edited and graded and I’m still learning but so far I can’t recommend this camera enough.

It definitely would be helpful to have a list of everything you used for that rig. Great video overall though!

Great video Caleb, I enjoy your no frills review of cameras, your clearly a camera enthusiast while also being pragmatic about the pros and cons in relation to film making.

After researching my choices for a starter cinema camera, I’ve decided this will be the one I’ll invest in.

BMD has one of the most user friend UI's in the industry. Good call on the joystick, to one up that suggestions it'd be nice if they had made a smartphone/tablet app that mirrors the camera's controls. I really want to pick this thing up once the backorders are handled. I could see it becoming my go-to camera for running on my main gimbal.

Just bought a BMPCC 4k and used your video as a primary resource for research. Thanks, man.

For many of us this is and will be the go to camera because of the color science and the overall cinematic look to the footage it produces. It is a perfect camera...NO...but everyday we are learning more and more work arounds to make it fully functional on an individual basis. At this jump in price point the BMPCC 4k is a dream come true. So Yes, Caleb anything more you can add on this camera and rigging will be appreciated. Always enjoy and get a lot of great info out of your videos!

Yeah, please, do the rig video!

Very good review. I bought one of these when they were announced and invested in a v-mount, a cage etc. It is a big step up from my Canon 6D in terms of picture quality, but takes some getting used to - before I was accustomed to throwing my clips right into Adobe Premiere, now I have to do some post-production/grading in Davinci Resolve, but the results are very good so it's worth it. It may actually be too much camera for what I am using it for, but I have it now, and glad I made the investment.

Awesome explanations! Would love to see more videos about the BMPCC4K!

studiodevis tough, it does work out similar once rigged, still a bunch cheaper obviously with the Blackmagic, but you can build over time and how you like and it has more separate parts obviously. For a cam that you can just pick up and shoot, the C200 is incredible, the NDs, form factor, autofocus (if you use it) is unbeatable. CFast media and that codec can screw you though on set and in post, but the image is delicious and almost worth it 😂 however its not set friendly in my opinion and cfast is still expensive. The Canon 8-bit to SD card does seem to hold up though. BRaw and prores are more media and edit friendly, using samsung ssds is amazing. The call I made was the Blackmagic, and Im loving the image and dual iso a lot, adding in LUTs is super cool as well, and it feels simpler to operate on set, menu wise. Would rent both if you can before you make that call, but Im super happy.

studiodevis if you like the C series ergonomics and don’t want a camera “build” with mattebox, ND filters,rails, v-lock etc. the Canon is the way to go, pick-up and go, great color and audio. For me it comes down to purpose, the Blackmagic fits what I do slightly better, I keep mine built up like a cinema camera so its always ready to go. But if you can manage the Canon media workflow and storage its an incredible camera, if you need autofocus, will crush it. The C200 is my favorite camera of last year but just based on price, the pocket 4k is unbeatable and always useful to have around, its image is also amazing, cinematic and skintones on point. You won’t regret either tbh, you’ll just pay back the one a lot quicker and spend less on cards and media storage.

Great quick overview video! I want to ask about color accuracy and reds in particular. At the moment you were talking about lack of color shift at high ISOs, you referred to your t-shirt as red, which it is not in the video. Were you shooting with the GH5s? I would be very interested to see a quick color comparison between several cameras and the BMP4k and to see the lack of color shift compared to those cameras too. Thanks much! Appreciate your work.

You are super articulate and clear my brother from another mother. Great job!

The .64 XL metabones on M43 gives you a APS-H crop. Which is a great crop factor to deal with! (Technically APS-H ranges from 1.26 to 1.29 crop factor, and M43 with the XL 0.64 = 1.28 crop factor.) APS-H is bigger than APS-C. (ranging from 1.5 or 1.62 crop factor) And APS-H is bigger than Super 35 at a 1.39 crop factor. But smaller than 'full frame' 35mm at a crop factor of 1. So for those of you concerned about the M43 sensor, I really wouldn't worry, with the XL its very close to a full frame look in terms of depth of field and field of view. (plus you get 1.5 extra stops of light with the booster.)

BMPCC4K is the best camera I have ever seen. Keep dreaming about OSMO Pocket and OSMO Action, but didn't bought any of them. Because of this one over here!

I am in confusion about the difference of projections of the footage between super35 sensor and MFT on a bigger cinema screen. Can one shoot a footage on a MFT sensor and project it on the cinema screen without loosing any quality? Is it possible? Or there is some other technicality in play?

This looks great! Thanks for the info! I always love Blackmagic products!

Caleb, I would absolutely adore if you made a video detailing every specific part (SmallRig and otherwise) that has gone into the creation of that Rig. That way filmmakers starting with this camera know your setup and can imitate it.

How do you feel this compares to Z Cam's S2 4K 120fps camera? Thanks.

Thanks for telling me about the Update!😁

I'm really hoping to pick up the BMPCC4K this year. I really love its color science. Now that it has raw, I really want to get my hands on it and see what I can do with its color and for VFX. Great video, Caleb.

Also, they totally stopped the production for a month in January. This is a huge issue, but of course the only people who could give real visibility to it (the KZreadrs with lots of subscribers) don't even know about it, as they're the only ones treated decently by Blackmagic for obvious reasons.
