BLACKMAGIC BMPCC6K G2 IS A GENIUS MOVE

[@kuunami]

Remember folks that if you're going to use the gyro stabilize feature you may need to bump up your shutter speed when shooting to reduce the motion blur that appears in your stabilized shot.

[@AltCine]

Thanks bro, this is correct 👌🏾

Thanks Colin. Updated my 6K with this firmware release yesterday and looking forward to trying the gyro stabilisation with the new release of Resolve which I've literally just downloaded.

[@AltCine]

Awesome 🙌🏾🙌🏾 I had a quick go and it's pretty good for static jittery shots. For anything moving I think this is best with some sort of additional stabilisation or heavy rig.

The new GYRO is not perfect.. it still needs work but it's better than warpstabilizer.

[@KingMont]

Imma keep it real. This was one of the most informative videos I've seen in a while. Not only do I not own a blackmagic, but because of the way you seamlessly broke this down, I just might get one. Or at least rent one for a project or two. Thanks

[@AltCine]

Thank you so much. This is such a nice comment and very encouraging. Please try one👌🏾 I recently bought some cheap stabilised lenses just to fill a gap for static handheld shots. Had I known the gyro was coming I could have saved myself some money lol

@@WashingtonMoyo reel steady go is only in GoPro. But this could replace gyro flow, depending how good of a job davinci does. Or even better if gyroflow can use the gyro data from the blackmagic cameras. That could be epic.

This is THE most in depth review of 7.9 firmware!

[@AltCine]

Thanks bro 🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@markshirley01]

It looks a great camera - I love the rear screen and I love gyro stabalisation on a ZV1 that I occasionally use - its so handy. Only problem is im a FCP user and would be forced in to using Resolve - Im not sure if Im up to using another NLE.

[@AltCine]

Yeah it's a bit of a learning curve. As long as you learn 3 things it's actually quite easy (apart from fusion...or CON-FUSION as I call it lol) 1) Time line colour management in settings 2) Where to place nodes, putting them in wrong order can give bad results 3) Export Settings

[@eduardofalcao4878]

I not find sharpness control to turn off…

[@AltCine]

Braw is is still somewhat a compressed codec but I believe there's no sharpness or very minimal sharpness being added in camera...so you probably want to add a little in post. ProRes however has a sharpness option in camera that you can adjust.

[@goldein7777]

I wonder how the fuji Xh2s would compare with its braw files and flog 2 footage ... Im more the curious seeing the compartment

[@AltCine]

Fuji is great out the gate so I can only imagine it's fantastic. It's an interesting time because BM are allowing so many people to use braw that I think they will dominate the average consumer space in years to come.

[@Burritosarebetterthantacos]

[@AltCine]

I can believe that! It's definitely the most convenient BM camera.

[@benjamincorteslyon6777]

I think I have less ISO noise with this 7.9 update. What about you?

[@AltCine]

That's great to hear and I'm definitely going to try it. I've just got an S5 recently so haven't shot much with 7.9 One thing I can say is the pre-amps sound cleaner. My volume seems to be a bit lower so that could be it but even turning the gain up in post, it has a very low noise floor.

@@AltCine surely so, but I know most people want a new form factor body. And old these days is more than a couple of years. Basically they have the old 6K the Flippy screen.

[@madedigital]

Ok so there is more to the Gyro than we think no one has said this yet so post it on your channel mate. To activate the Gyro option in the menu you must record with the image stabilization off in the SETUP menu at th bottom of the page is the key I wonder if you recorded in this mode before the update would the option show up if you use old footage.

[@dpixvid]

Supposedly no because there was no gyro metadata recorded on the old footage, only for new footage

[@AltCine]

That's only for native lenses though right? Thank you for the information... definitely worth talking about👌🏾👌🏾

[@Teledyski_XDVISIONS]

I would rather go forward and upgrade 6K Pro, like eye tracking with autofocus which is now a lot faster... Gyro? You need to compute the files anyway and it takes time. I'd rather use a gimbal. There is regular crop there when stabilised.

[@AltCine]

I hear that but if they add eye tracking AF that would raise the cost of the camera considerably. BM is your average consumer cam but it's use is like what you would expect from high end cinema cams in that any serious production would have a dedicated focus puller. Also a lot of DP use flycam, vests, handheld etc so this is perfect for them. We shouldn't think of this market on a personal need but rather a collective.

[@Teledyski_XDVISIONS]

@@AltCine I use IFocus from Moza Air 2S and focus assistant but when composing a shot I would prefer not to take care of focusing too much. On professional sets there are two people, one with a camera and the other with focusing gear. I guess it is rather for pattenting matter the eye tracking system.

[@JWalking]

A genius move would have been to update a camera that has had no updates - The BMPCC4k! (The Studio 4k was NOT an update). Further, people have invested in a lens system (M43) that cannot be ported to any other pocket cinema camera, so we’re stuck with just one (ageing) black magic camera - we want to know if our investment in black magic has any longevity to it!

[@AltCine]

How do you think an updated p4k could make this better.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqWwnq2npKuciKs

[@JWalking]

@@AltCine The same way they made the 6k better!

[@secardive1]

What happen with the BMPCC4K UPDATE a G2 Version? Or A Blackmagic Cinema Camera 5k with X-Mount Fujifilm, $1500? Great! WITH: - X-Mount Sensor / E-Mount Sensor - Till & Down Screem - ND filter Inside - EVF - Gyro Sensor Activation - Zooming Fucus in Video Recording - 5k up 120p B-Raw/ProRes 422 + Sound (without crop) - 2.6k up 180p B-Raw/ProRes + Sound (without crop) That's all we need, that's all we asking for ! Jaja

[@AltCine]

Honestly I don't think we'll see a p4k refresh. They have this one and the studio can so I can only see it coming in a completely new redesign like a box cam.

[@secardive1]

@@AltCine yeah! I agree with you. I think the "Box Camera" is the newer style of film camera option based in many flilmmakers who asking for that, that's why we have right now the Panasonic BGH1 4k and the BS1H 6k, even there is more vlogger or youtubers than filmmakers like the Red Comodo Style guys today. That's why they thinking in Firmwares like: "Gyro Sensor Stabilization" ant Till Screem on the Blackmagic System, "Vlogger Camera" or "Hybrid Cinema & Photo Camera". I think the Blackmagic Team will put more atention too on the following philosophy of the moment like: the Fujifim XH2S, the Panasonic GH6, the Sony FX3, The Canon C70, The Nikon Z9 and the Canon R5C, the "Hybrid Cinema & Photo". Bcause it is a biggest market, compare the Box Cinema market. But, for sure they will have a Box Cinema Camera soon on the market too.

[@stephanes.]

With my BMCC2.5k I feel a little bit "huh why am I having this?"

[@AltCine]

I hear you but there's still so much value in those older camera's/sensors. Keep rocking that 2.5k...get the lighting right and you'll get great stuff from it!

[@stephanes.]

@@AltCine YEAH you're right 💪🤣😎 still a unique look!!!

Would be better a pocket 4k Pro with infernal ND and mft mount, it's all we need

[@AltCine]

That would be so good! I don't know if it'll happen though. Consumers seem to be on this resolution race and get excited when they see 6k, 8k, 12k.

[@madedigital]

I say the evf is more needed than nd or tilta monitor...maybe easier

[@stevenfries7032]

You know what, they need to release a BMPCC 4k GEN 2. Give it a tilt screen too, internal NDs, and XLR and optional VF. Sell it for 1600. 400 more than what it is now. and it makes sense. because if you want the regular 6k gen 2, its 400 more. if you want the 6k pro, its 800-900 more.

[@TuinleiBob]

So now a 4K G2 or pro please

[@AltCine]

Yes I agree! Same size body, flip screen and I'm sure they could fit and npf 550 inside.

[@birianination7097]

Loving the content, but i thought it was the new content on eos m continuas shoot.

[@AltCine]

Ahhh sorry bro. I've been so busy that I haven't had much time to test fully. Will definitely get on it when things calm down.

[@morozov.cookie]

I already said it on another channel, but I think that blackmagic want to abandon 6kpro, because it is really strange. Early for 500$ you could get many features in 6kpro version, but now you need to pay 500$ more only for monitor brightness and internal nds. I think that 6kpro was a test drive for a new features. Not many user did upgrade from 4k to 6kpro or from 6k to 6kpro. They tested features with 6kpro, move it to 6k body and that is it. So I think that blackmagic will abandon pro version or makes it really pro with 6k pro g2 by adding, for example, sdi, or even change the form factor again.

[@AltCine]

Tbh....I hope your predictions are correct! Thinking about it, it does make sense and that means they wouldn't have wasted much money on the manufacturing process of the 6k and would free them up to produce an entirely new body. Again...I hope you're right 👍🏾👍🏾

Post stabilization without lens calibration is no good. … And they still do not make a riggable cube camera.

[@AltCine]

Yes there are a few steps but nonetheless it's still great when you learn it's use case properly. I'm with you on the cube too...I would really like it to happen.

[@pyalot]

@@AltCine AFAIK the davinci resolve stabilizer just does 2d shifting/tilt. Good IMU post stabilization needs to do reprojection. The best case there would be be a prime lens with low focus breathing. The worst case would be a manual zoom lens with lots of focus breathing.

[@greggh]

With the release of the Sony FX30 Black Magic has to change the entire design of their pocket camera quickly, or they're screwed. I was going to get the 6K Pro. Not anymore. The Sony FX30 is a no-brainer over BMPC.

[@AltCine]

Hmmm I thought so too at first and went to pre-order it the day after the announcement but I stopped. So far the only real benefits I see haven't changed from what Sony are already offering. Great AF, ibis and battery life. Now if we compare that to p4k (both 4k cams) the p4k still rocks. The fx30 body only in UK is £2100 which is crazy considering Americans get it for $1800. If it was closer to p4k then yes definitely agree with you.

@@stevenfries7032 Yes asked several times for that purpose to Pitch or extra cam.

I understand internal ND is a great feature but definitely not a deal breaker. I think most "serious" DP would have an Nd set that costs more than the camera itself due to their high quality.

[@thekemplarfiles]

@@AltCine lol All SERIOUS DPs have an Arri but I have that set IR NDs to be exact due to BMs need for IR which Is more money, and what a mess on the process switching glass all the time rather keep slots open to filters than two NDs stacked with a Diffuser also less weight.
