I skipped over this thinking I don't need a camera, but came back to it and sooooooooo glad I did. Yes you cover way more than I'll need, use or understand, BUT you gave so many tips for when I go to the next level. Thank You so much.

[@EytschPi42]

That was the idea…. Thanks!

[@JohnPhelyno]

I was torn between the two cameras and I was almost ready to pull the trigger on another brand. But I'm glad I saw this review. It was so informative and I realized that Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera is exactly what I was looking for! I’m so relieved I got to watch this video before I made my purchase. Thank you! My dilemma ends here. BMPCC it is!

[@marsgizmo]

This is an amazing video! It's packed with useful info! 👏😎 and very helpful!

[@JonSchwark]

Oh man, this is like three days of research squeezed down into an hour and twenty minutes. So helpful. Thanks!

[@EytschPi42]

Thaaaaank you!

[@turnmaker7685]

Exactly what we needed: Someone to sort out ALL the particulars, amongst ALL the myriad of choices, being thrust at you from ALL directions. Thank-you for helping us see enough order- in all the chaos -to make intelligent, well informed choices! Ps; Loved that you showed all the cabling and connections

[@Fistful0fSteel]

I can watch Henning talking about different stuff and it’s always fun and educational!

[@pedalscapes]

Marvellous, thank you very much for sharing your knowledge and experience, so much information! Cheers 😎

[@vaughnwebbermusic]

I love these videos

[@samimaldonadolizarazu8891]

Good video! I saw you have a fx6. How is to match the Fx6 with the Blackmagic ecosystem in a live production? With the studio g2, micro studio, ursa broadcast etc?

[@EytschPi42]

Can’t really match it.. you‘ll always see it is a different camera

[@RationalHuman-1]

Thanks, that was a LOT of info. But it made me glad I had already bought the BMD MSC 4K G2.

[@hyperactive009]

Hi, Thanks for the detailed video ! I've a Atem mini extreme ISO hdmi. I want to upgrade my set. What is the advantage of using a Studio 4K plus G2 over Pocket Cinema Camera 4K ? Since the Atem mini extreme doesn't support 4K and I don't have plans to upgrade the mini any time soon, I don't see any advantage. The cameras will only be used to film indoor to make explainer video of boardgames. Hope share your thoughts on this. Thank you.

[@EytschPi42]

If you don’t want to upgrade to 4K, there isn’t a major advantage

[@oldgreyguitarist]

very handy, thank you. does it record in 4k to an external hard drive though. many thanks

[@EytschPi42]

which one?

[@oldgreyguitarist]

the pocket camera 4k, thanks@@EytschPi42

[@oldgreyguitarist]

@@EytschPi42 hi. The pocket camera 4K please. Many thanks

[@HasanK94]

Great video.

[@Allegedeadly]

i like that you diversify a bit in the multimedia gear that surrounds music. One thing i'd lik to hear you on, and no one speaks about, is PC configuration for music recording! What the new AM5 plateform brings with Ryzen 7, Ram Hz and all that...

[@EytschPi42]

I have left the PC world a while ago and know nothing about this anymore.

[@ThEiasiThE]

i have a question, and i cant seem to find out the answer. its about bmd studio 4k pro g2, can i send 4k to livestream by hdmi? if not, can i use ndi to send 4k video?

[@EytschPi42]

Send TO the camera?

[@karabinerstudios]

Can you please tell me what jib are you using at 37:29? Thank you 🙂

[@EytschPi42]

It’s the one from Edelkrone

[@robertgrafe8775]

your example was a horse race and other "outdoor" stuff for the studio cam, i would love to use it this way but without autofocus its a pain for sports etc.

[@EytschPi42]

True

[@sigjudge]

Hi Henning! I can’t put into words just how grateful I am for all of your buyers guide videos as they have been so helpful. One question for you that you may be able to answer, would you go the Blackmagic route without an on hand producer/director especially with the lack of continuous auto focus? I have an Atem extreme ISO so I really want to continue to go down the Blackmagic route for my studio, but the lack of continuous auto focus is a concern for me (a relative newb with little practical experience).

[@EytschPi42]

without someone switching for you, there are a few options with footswitches etc, but realistally.... no, I wouldn't. I think you need someone on the ATEM

[@sigjudge]

@@EytschPi42 Many thanks. I guess I’ll look for a set of APS-C crop cameras that can have internal recording be triggered simultaneously whilst also outputting HDMI. Unless of course Blackmagic have an autofocusing model announced at NAB.

[@vasotoe]

Yesss cameras ftw

[@kanohane]

1. Where did you find that hoodie......? 2. I just wanna know if the Bmpcc has that touch the screen and focus on a spot or do I have the actually twist the lens continuously? Because the latter means there's no point in even learning about this camera... Anyone know? ☠️

[@EytschPi42]

The hoodie: mrgugu.com As for the touch to focus... NO, not as far as I know. There is a focus button in the back, but it focuses in the middle of the picture and doesn't even do it well. These cameras are NOT for autofocus... you are meant to twist the lens.

[@kanohane]

@@EytschPi42 Thanks! And that sucks, guess I'll have to stick with Sony 😭

[@annebokma4637]

I am goint to put the little g2 in a run and gun rig, but also for studio. I am restarting and this little camera is ideal to get a rig the way I like it. I saw a back extension for this, think on alt cine. $59

[@EytschPi42]

make that camera mobile seems REALLY complex and not worth the effort if you ask me. There are better solutions for that.

[@annebokma4637]

​​@@EytschPi42true, but the others can't be used (as well) for other things like this. All of them have specific functions. I am mainly gonna use it in studio on "static" positions. But I do want to be able to use it for run and gun as well, especially since most of the gear I want to use to build it, I can also use for other set ups. In the future I will probably buy a camera more suitable for run and gun out of the box, but even then a G2 will be a good backup 😊 And just loving this thing. You can put a USB hub on it, attach SSD, control, and hook up to the network to ftp your files of the SSD. This way you can put it in a place you can't reach easily and never have to detach your SSD. 😂 Thnx for responding appreciate that. Love your content, subscribed.

[@annebokma4637]

And for what it is worth, love the donuts 😎👍

[@annebokma4637]

Question. The bigger studio cameras with the build in 10g networking, do these support ftp as well, that way you can get your SSD files over the network too. might be interesting for live streaming events that also get a post-production version. For the 6k version? Also looking into converters to NDI.. any experience with that in your workflow? You make me think, nice 😊

[@EytschPi42]

Not sure about FTP… it works easily on the ;K7 switcher, but not sure about the cam. NDI would require a separate converter. In that case it makes a lot more sense to buy BMDs own camera converter and retain remote functions.

[@mylogify]

I have Sony ZV-E10, for me it's best camera ever :D. Using it with 56mm Sigma, for photographs, and stock for vids.

[@Fistful0fSteel]

I just got to of those for the public TV channel from Hamburg I work at as CTO

[@VisionK]

At 39 minutes and 53 seconds, regarding the BMPCC 6K: Clearing up any confusion, although it resembles a pocket camera in its design, the full-frame camera is not classified as a Pocket Camera. Therefore, omit the "P" when referring to it. It is simply known as the Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K. On the other hand, the BMPCC 6K G2 and BMPCC 6K Pro models are indeed pocket cameras.

[@EytschPi42]

I really didn’t see the missing p in all of my research!

[@VisionK]

@@EytschPi42 you referred to the full frame camera as BMPCC 6K. The full frame is BMCC 6K because it is not a pocket camera even though it looks like a pocket camera.

[@christofdonat2702]

All well, but in the end, I think, the best camera is the same as the best guitar: the one you have. Is there, by any chance, a reasonable way to integrate USB webcams into an Atem switching system? Simply because a lot of people have webcams around with more or less reasonable quality. Starting from that to a halfway complete BlackMagic setup (Camera, Lens, Cables, Switcher, etc.), is probably prohibitively expensive in many cases. But if there's a switcher, where people can use their existing Webcam for the start, would be a good step into growing the setup.

[@EytschPi42]

Not that I know of… incorporating USB cameras isn’t possible.

[@christofdonat2702]

@@EytschPi42 One option might be, to attach the webcam to a Raspberry PI, and have it display, whatever it gets from that camera on the HDMI port. On the other hand, that kind of defeats the idea of systems like the BlackMagic universe, that is meant to be usable without much tinkering.

[@sofron0]

Это круто! Спасибо.

[@scenljus2]

The new full frame 6K Blackmagic camera is called Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K (BMCC 6K) so they took away the pocket from the naming since it isn’t really pocket sized anymore. Also they wanted to illuminate the fact that it is a new system with totally different insides than the pocket series.

[@EytschPi42]

Oh damn… did I really miss the missing P?

[@adejumokojo]

I want to buy one of your cameras. You are underutilizing them.

[@fellowcitizen]

41:00 There are about 80-100 official lenses for L-mount, ranging from USD200, and there is no need to use the overpriced Leica-branded lenses except for vanity purposes. Plus, there is Sigma's EF-L adaptor, and numerous unofficial manual lenses from the highly-skilled Chinese workshops.

[@PooNinja]

1:30 im a different kind of crazy. Don’t tell me not to be crazy, it’s who I am! 9:39 Leslie picked you.

[@beachroadfilms]

RED is a "penis enlargment camera". ROFL, I had one and yes you're CORRECT. Nice tool though - love the RED codec. Appreciate this video. I'm thinking of using a BM 4K G2, Komodo and fly a Komodo-X on a Freefly ALTA X with Teradek Bolt 4K. Thinking I should pick the ATEM Television Studio 4K8??

[@andrewmorgan1640]

Why is it that I am looking at 2 new cameras and a box of donuts?

[@emilcarste]

Hi there, very informative series of videos. I really appreciate your effort. We want to build a small set using a black magic studio 6k pro, two studio micro G2 and an ATEM SDI Extreme ISO. Do you think that there will be color matching problems between these two cameras? PS: You said in one episode of the series that you can only use Blackmagic camera to edit in davinci resolve the project that ATEM ISO is generating . News here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYvTlKmnhLV0gdE

[@EytschPi42]

very cool that the workflow also works with other cameras, even though it is a bit more work. YES, I think the 6K and the micros will match easily as far as color goes. The only thing that could stand in your way are the lenses. The 6K uses EF and the micro uses MFT. Even from manufacturer to manufacturer the colors are pretty different which is why I try to stick to Panasonic MFTs. You could find that the EF lenses might look a bit different... only trial and error can help there.
