[@DirectAccessYT]

Maybe wait for the BMPCC 6k Pro PLUS* in a year or two with FULL articulating screen 8 stops ND and cheaper EVF and more versatile RF mount AND more stable battery add on piece. That wobble Gene highlighted shows BM are either sloppy or deliberratley leaving flaws in their product to force upgrade. Why make fixed screen for 4k and 6k, why not full articulation on this 6k Pro? WHY WHY WHY ?

[@jacksp8de]

@@DirectAccessYT LOL At that price point man that's how it is.

[@DirectAccessYT]

@@jacksp8de I think a Fuji x-s10 with 8 bit 420 log internal or 422 10 bit external in more compact body is a cheaper/better alteranative to this if you dont need the RAW aspect , Its cheaper and smaller to carry too, plus has IBIS !

[@jacksp8de]

@@DirectAccessYT I am a DP so the Blackmagic 6K is the best thing for me. In this price point nothing compares. For me its either this or a Sony FX6 or Canon C70. The hybrid camera I would get is the Panasonic s5 with external recording.

[@Omgiamsotriggered]

@@jacksp8de Check out the S5 mark ii RN! Its the hybrid camera I am 100% going for.

People forget because they are so caught up in idiotic camera brand fights, that we are so so lucky to live in this day and age right now where we have access so many amazing cameras at such affordable prices and almost anyone now can make something that looks somewhat like the films and shows we all watch and have watched throughout our lives 💙🔥

I have a BMPCC6K Pro rented right now and I love it. The interface and usability is by far the best I’ve ever used on any camera.

[@thrumyeyesphoto]

Absolutely loving my 6k Pro. With the battery grip, it's a totally useable self-contained Cinema Camera that can be used handheld. Pretty incredible for the money.

[@tuckerkanderson]

Great video as always guys! The blackmagic color science, especially with the gen 5 update is insane. Super good in low light too with that dual iso. I need to test this out!

Great Video Gene! My previous company of 18 years died with the pandemic, so I started watching your videos back in March last year and learned enough about videography to be able to help out struggling small businesses in my community with content. This camera was my 1st "real" camera moving away from an iPhone. I had the Mavic Mini, but it's currently on holiday 150 ft. at the bottom of Lake Cumberland so a new Mini 2 would be a great addition to my business

[@SovietLensReviews]

Blackmagic's UI is really nice on their cameras, something completely underrated. So much nicer than wading through the MMO of menus in Sony/Canon/Nikon!

[@ali_alami]

"wading through the MMO of menus" 😂

Gene stands in the field shooting log video and states “let me apply a quick grade” and then without stopping says “It looks pretty good”. :) That’s youtube magic right there! - That was funny though.

[@charlesnetzler2262]

@@jv8studios Oh nice, just checked out your showreel, very nice work. Ive just completed a project with it and really enjoy it, the ibis and af are top notch along with the colour space and editing flexibility. I haven't touched the 4k 120 or 8k yet as I don't need it commercially. I choose the r5 over the 6 mainly because I shoot landscapes and architecture as well sometimes. How about you and the r5?

[@jv8studios]

Thanks for checking out my showreel! I need to update it, its been a busy year! Also, Sounds great! Is your project out yet? It would be great to see! Yes the auto focus is brilliant even in 4k. I used 8k a couple of times , however, it tends to overheat frequently. Have you had any issues with overheating? I haven't had this problem with r6 , I still think the r5 is a superior camera and will definitely improve once canon fixes the minor bugs. Thanks

[@juancisneros725]

[@juanlopez1116]

It's hard for me to notice any difference compared with a Fuji X-T4/Sony6600 for instance. Do you think that could be due to YT compression?

[@dangfutalan]

Im curious what do you use the 6K Pro for? Im trying to see if it's ok for content creators or for our studio.

[@dag221]

The Sam angry at the sea montage was too good.

[@ilyaconnolly]

This video is awesome. One thing I noticed is that the color grading in your videos is soooo nice. A color grading tutoring would be amazing because I’m super curious how you get such nice colors.

[@michaelangelo1887]

I was dying for you to review this camera but I'm glad you waited for the update. Here's a tip though, try shooting handheld with the neck-strap attached. With 2 hands, the neck-strap and your chest, you get 4 points of contact. I'm running the Sigma 18-35 and it's looking pretty smooth for not having stabilization.

Gene, would you consider doing a video on bridge cameras such as the Sony Cyber-shot series, and comparing the images to smart phone images in all types of lighting conditions? This type of video would interest most casual and occasional shooters for things such as family vacations and filming their children in school plays. There are a lot more casual and occasional viewers than professional photographers. Thanks.

Amazing that you just posted this video right now, I have been going back and forth all week between the a7siii and the pocket 6kpro as my first camera after film school! Literally right before you posted this I chose the pocket 6k pro (through your link of course), with a meike prime as my first lens! Also your video about bags convinced me of the think tank bag instead of the lopro. Thank you so much for all your content over the years! You have always put out great videos. That are really informative and also really fun to watch at the same time! I really believe in passing things forward, so if I'm chosen as the winner, I'll happily find a musician at the begining of his career and I'll make them a free music video, and I'll film most of it with the mavic, and I'll ask them to pass it forward also and play at a charity event or something of the sort, and so on and so forth... So what do you think Mr. Nagata? Are you willing to get this good karma snowball moving? BTW hopefully we get a chance to work together some day, if you are ever in my neck of the woods, and want an assistant, or a place to stay. while you are here, just let me know😊 Thanks! And have a great rest of your day! ❤️

[@ShaneHarderPhoto]

At 12:15 it did have some play and that will always be the case with grips but you also didn't have both screws into the camera which would have made it a little better. I noticed it from the other shot from the same spot when you took it off the tripod. Also the grip moves forward and back when you jiggle it showing that you need both screws.
