[@FrameVoyager]

@@21stcenturyscots 😂 my pockets aren't that big

[@21stcenturyscots]

OK, I followed your advice and got the BMPCC4K, but now I have BMPCC4k RAW trouble. I bought my BMPCC4K with firmware 6.9.1 and edit in Resolve 15 studio / OSX 10.11 because my old Mac Pros 4,1 and 5,1 don't really run higher versions. BM RAW recorded on SD cards was running fine in Resolve 15. Resolve 14 did not recognise any BM RAW files of BMPCC firmware 6.9.1 I then bought a Samsung T7 usb-c drive to be able to record 3:1 bitrates in raw in the BMPCC4K. In order for BMPCC4K to properly recognize and record on the Samsung T7 drive I had to upgrade the camera firmware to 7.3. Below that 7.3 firmwareversion the T7 would only record low resolutions like a cheap SD card. Now Resolve 15 does not see my raw files anymore although I can play them on the camera. What exactly is going on here and how can I solve the problem? Does the BMPCC4K produce different incompatible BM RAW files with different firmware versions?! On the BM website I could not find anything about any compatibility issues. What would be the ideal software version setup with my Mac Pros 4.1 /5.1 running various OSX systems 8.5 to 10.11? I have a lot of legacy software that I still use, e.g. FCP 7 etc. Concerning BMPCC4K and resolves different versions, what is working with what? Is there a chart or a table outlining that? Possibly I could run OSX 10.12 but even zhat runs only Resolve 16. BMPCC4K firmware 7.3 BM-RAW files are also not recognized there. I am producing high end table top food advertising at the very moment so highest possible image quality is of the essence. Greetings from Berlin Germany

[@adriangonzalez4401]

This just changed the game for MANY videographers. Was super fun helping film this with you. Way to go man!

Appreciate it! And appreciate the help filming it! A LONG video to make on my own haha

[@boomboommovies1589]

I am new to independent film making and the BMPCC 6k was my first purchase. This was the most comprehensive video yet. Thanks. Much appreciated.

[@FrameVoyager]

Appreciate it! In the process of making one for the 6k pro as well!

[@JakeOfAllTrades]

I just ordered the pocket 4k and sigma 18-35 today to upgrade my Canon M50 as I get serious about videography. This is already immensely helpful and I'm going to rewatch it when the camera arrives. Also your whole channel is fantastic content man!

[@FrameVoyager]

Sweet! It's definitely a change but you're going to love it! And appreciate you hanging out on the channel!

[@legrandleseur1215]

Dude, I'm literally doing the same thing hahahaha M50 to pocket 4k lolol

[@hoggif]

After several years, this was still worth it. I just got a BMPCC and after watching this all, I was almost instantly ready to use the camera when it arrived, without reading a manual.

[@Tscharski]

Thank you so much for this manual! It helped me a lot to set up my camera. The footage I’m getting is already impressing everybody I show it to!

[@mr_crisi]

Wow this is GOLD. I don’t have the BMPCC 4K (yet) and I couldn’t stop watching. Very informative and useful. This should be the official video-manual for this camera. 🎉

[@bluorry]

can't believe this video is for free. thank you so much for your information & sharing your knowledge!!! great video & the timestamps down below are so helpful!

An AWARD is simply what this video deserves!!

I've owned my BMPCC for about 18 months now, so I'm quite well-versed in it, but I damn sure wish I had something like this when I first got it. Exceptional work man, you're going to make a lot of new owners very happy! Best

[@FrameVoyager]

Same! I've noticed this year how many new p4k users their were and decided it was time to make it. Appreciate it though! Hoping to make one for the 6k pro as well

[@cmafilmproduction]

@@FrameVoyager Hopefully you’re able to reuse just a few elements from this one, haha. Keep it up!

far better 😉

[@anthonythorne8708]

Awesome! I just directed my first short in Melbourne and your videos have convinced me to get the BM 4K for my future stuff. Great work.

[@FrameVoyager]

Great to hear! BMD should really sponsor me right? haha. Good luck on getting the camera, it's really a great one!

[@dannyboy8710]

I got the 4K a couple months ago and recently updated it. I've been itching to use it more and more. Especially with the new update and Gen 5 colour science so your video came at just the right time

[@FrameVoyager]

Awesome! That's why I made this video because it seems like the P4k is still exploding in popularity. Wanted it to be a resource for every P4K creator!

[@teamalloy]

Just bought the 4K last week. Super glad I found your channel. Thanks man!

[@FrameVoyager]

Awesome! Hope this is a great resource for you! Let us know if you have any questions!

This is what I listen to from now on when I go to bed. Hopefully one day I’ll wake up and everything makes sense like a puzzle that’s finally put together lol

[@mariolanzara4716]

Agradezco enormemente este vídeo. Soy usuario de una BMPCC4K desde hace unos pocos días y este vídeo ha sido casi como leer el manual pero mucho más ameno. La cantidad de enlaces a otros vídeos que has puesto realmente interesantes son de grandísima ayuda, uno de ellos es el que nos enseña o muestra las verdades del ISO dual en esta cámara. Tus vídeos de 180 están geniales. Muchas gracias por este gran trabajo.

[@KhawaProd]

There's one thing I've noticed a lot of youtubers say when talking about the bmpcc mft sensor about it being a 2x crop factor. This is NOT true to NATIVE lenses, for example if you buy mft 24mm lens, it will be 24mm focal length on the bmpcc. If you used a full-size lens with adapters, for say sigma 18-35 or something, then yes you will get the crop factor. When I first bought the bmpcc and shopped around for lenses it made it difficult to buy lenses because of the misunderstanding that goes around. I hope this is helpful for someone buying lenses for this beast

[@Chris-ey7zy]

Wait isn’t 18-35mm an Apc lens

[@Max.Brandi]

this is wrong, almost all lenses are displayed in full frame. very wierd if they arent. even cine mft mount

[@dedskin1]

I like the Sensor cleaning solution you got there . But nothing except Distilled water is needed , there is hopefully no need for oil dissolvent , just dust removal and water does that and keeps sensor protected .

[@FrameVoyager]

True! But you get the cleaner with the kits usually so 🤷‍♂️ also, you never know if it helps kill anything that could be down there

[@dedskin1]

@@FrameVoyager did you check under the microscope if it leaves residue . Im struggling with those solutions , i take a filter pure glass , and then apply it and check under microscope to see if it leave anything behind , and usually they do leave , cheap one at least . There are expensive Zeiss ones and stuff , those i didnt try .

[@FrameVoyager]

Hmmm... Haven't but also haven't had any issues with dirt showing up in footage. But yeah, using something from zeis would be better bet

Discontinuing the T5 is a real screw-job by Samsung with such a popular camera. Sandisk did the same with the few SD cards that worked w/ BMPCC OG.

[@dpc4548]

The bmpcc4k sensor is 16:9, not 4:3. This means the apature is not exactly double and anamorphic has to crop the sensor. It's useful in some settings, but annoying for anamorphic as we can't get the full 4k sensor. Normal pc SSDs work just fine. Just make sure that they can use sustained write speeds. Sandisk's higher end models are good, but oc and others have had great success. These are my preferred medium. 20 minutes is AMAZING for a cinema camera's battery. It's crazy having that much time to change batteries. We're still used to only having a few seconds or running two betteries and having to manually time them.

[@4nguyensmusic]

Great tutorial! I have recently purchased a BMPCC 4k with tamron 35-150 mm lens. Can you tell me the lens adapter needed for it? tksm.

[@FrameVoyager]

Usually you can get a EF to MFT adapter like a metabones or viltrox adapter if it's an EF lens

[@BritishBrassBandinguk]

I’m literally just about to buy a used one of these… major upgrade form a canon 70d. I found this really fascinating!

[@gamedygames-comedy9464]

I also have a Canon 70D and I'm thinking about upgrading it to the bmpcc4k. Did you get a bmpcc4k? Was it worth it?

[@BritishBrassBandinguk]

@@gamedygames-comedy9464 the challenge with the bmpcc is everything is manual. It’s a great camera but you need a bit of extra kit to actually use it and the type of shooting I’m doing is leading me towards a canon R7 now.
