Compact and suitable for cine drones, remote setups, and expandable for cine work as well as multi-camera broadcast work, the Panasonic Lumix BS1H Full-Frame Box-Style Live & Cinema Camera is a modular digital cinema camera with a small form-factor that bellies its full-frame sensor. It features a 24.2MP sensor, a Leica L lens mount, and a wide 14+-stop dynamic range to accommodate extreme lighting changes when recording in V-Log. It records video with resolutions up to 5.9K as well as C4K (4096 x 2160) and UHD4K, and it incorporates VariCam Look workflows.
The camera features dual-native ISO using its Venus Engine, anamorphic support, advanced AF (autofocus), numerous remote and power options, and supports HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) color for vivid imagery to aid professional color grading. There are many features packed into this tiny camera that make it the go-to production camera in any mobile and multi-camera production environment.
The BS1H provides multiple ways to record your footage to high data rate files in the ALL-Intra LongGOP, MOV, and MP4 recording formats with H.264 and H.265/HEVC codecs. The camera supports unlimited recording time and allows you to record 10-bit 4:2:2 video using the camera's dual SD card slots. It can output up to 4K via the HDMI 2.0 output, or you can output up to 1080p resolution via SDI. The camera allows you to output via HDMI and SDI simultaneously, so you can use one signal for monitoring and the other for recording. It also supports recording at variable frame rates for high-quality, slow-motion video. Custom 3D LUTs can be uploaded into the camera, using the SD card slots.
The BS1H is also an ideal camera for multi-camera environments, not only because it's highly mobile, but it includes timecode and genlock BNC ports, so you can sync it with other cameras to make syncing in postproduction easy. Its RJ45 Gigabit LAN port allows you to sync with other networked BS1H cameras, manage the camera settings and functions, and even perform direct IP streaming with a future firmware update. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth functionality are also integrated for monitoring, configuration, and control via a smartphone or tablet, using the LUMIX Sync app. Another function integrated into the BS1H is a USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-C input to control the camera with the LUMIX Tether app, which allows you to capture still images and control up to 12 BS1H cameras. Audio features include high-grade 48 kHz/24-bit LPCM format, an integrated stereo microphone, a 3.5mm mic/line-level input, and a 3.5mm headphone output. The optional DMW-XLR1 XLR adapter can be utilized, using the camera's integrated hot shoe, allowing you to record with professional microphones.
Its compact body measures less than 4" square and weighs only 1.3 lb, so it can be used on gimbals or drones for high-quality, stabilized footage. Its internal fan keeps the camera cool during long shoots, and its aluminum and magnesium housing provides protection and adds to the cooling factor. It also features 9 x accessory mounting threads for mounting onto a plate, cage, or tripod mount. There are four user-programmable function buttons around the housing as well as tally lights on the front and rear. You can power the BS1H using the included power adapter, with a separately available high-capacity VBR-type battery using its integrated mount, or by using PoE+ (Power-over-Ethernet) via the LAN port with compatible PoE equipment.

i've been considering picking up videography as of recently and this camera looks really cool and i love the specs of it and how it took footage in your clip! I was wondering would it be possible to find work with only one of these? I saw in the item description that its best used as a support camera for other lumix cameras however this would be my only camera if i bought it.

[@photojoseph]

How many cameras, or what camera(s) you own do not dictate the work you can do. You can always rent more cameras if the job demands it. However I would not recommend this as a FIRST camera for video. If you aren't used to shooting video on a camera like this, don't make this your first. If it's in your budget and you want this type of camera, get the S1H first. You'll be happy you have the LCD.

[@halcyongaming5576]

[@fellowcitizen]

Thanks, I don't know when I'll be using one of these, but I find them fascinating. So..... 4K60 FF x1.6 anamorphic footage... Can it be done with an S1R? Love to see the options for the Sirui 50mmT2.9 now that they finally made an L-mount.

[@photojoseph]

Pretty sure the S1R doesn't have the anamorphic desqueeze in-camera, but that's jut for monitoring. It will record 5K (4992x3744) internal so you kind-of get an open gate with it. The new SIRUI lens is definitely exciting for LUMIX shooters!!

Sir: I grew up in the 80s, so I remember the brands you mentioned. But there is only one capture device for adults (21+) at this time: the Arri LF line. All the rest are made for casual use. Fine -I buy them also. But to have a loyalty to one brand based on tech is unfathomable for me...I just don't get it! btw, I like his BGH1 camera -especially for those who already have a speedbooster. Have a great day!

Great video! Any Chance you can point me in the direction of the "telescoping" top handle to work together with the XLR1? I can't seem to find something that definitely lets you use the xlr while having a handle attached...

Telescoping? You mean so it collapses when not in use? Never seen that. But SmallRig makes lots of accessories. I’d start there geni.us/sbq7j5P

@@photojoseph Found it, works for me! Thank's a lot!! :)

[@axebox]

Thanks for the video Joseph. Any idea what would be required to record 4k @ 60fps over ethernet? This is really intriguing to me.

[@photojoseph]

It’s exciting stuff for sure. The highest quality of RTSP is 4K60p at 50Mbit. This can be either H.264 or H.65 (HEVC). The H.265 will be higher quality for the same bitrate. It’s point-to-point, like SDI - you can’t pick up the RTSP from multiple locations simultaneously. So then all that’s left is to receive the signal. You can do this in software (I think OBS does it; I’ve tested it with VLC), or in hardware. There are RTSP to SDI/HDMI boxes, if you want to integrate it into a switcher, or the Epiphan Pearl hardware will receive it and treat it as an input for live switching. It’s one of those things where there are lots of options, and its growing. Really interesting tech, for sure!

[@geoffreybassett6741]

Does the SDI out have delay?? My #1 issue with the S1H and that series of cameras is the significant delay when outputting to a monitor.

[@photojoseph]

Sorry for the late reply; I needed to check it. Unfortunately yes, the SDI delay appears to be the same as the HDMI delay.

[@voltan.studio]

How many frames delay does the Bs1h via SDI ouput? I know bgh1 has been reported to have 3-6 frames. I want to use them in live broadcast so i like to know.

[@photojoseph]

That is correct. It depends on the frame size and rate. Also if you don’t need audio through SDI that can save a frame.

[@VfxBlender]

How does this compare in color science to the s1 or s1h? Ever since the s5 ii the sharpness and colors science is slightely different. Any noticeable image difference from the amazing s1h to this?

[@photojoseph]

S1H and BS1H are identical. They also are the only cameras now withOUT a low pass filter (watch this for a comparison kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWWseZqVetegrrc ). Color science I don’t believe has changed.

[@Stone1108]

[@RolandsZeltins]

I have little issues, I have set external raw output and want to access menus. But can't. So I want to reset setting. Q.Menu, F2, F3. Does not reset it, am I messing something?

[@photojoseph]

You need to program toggling RAW on/off to one of the Fn buttons (it's not on by default). This feature was added in firmware v.2.3 in Nov 2021; make sure you are on at least that version of firmware. You can't access the menus over HDMI when RAW is enabled, so either a) you can toggle RAW off, make your changes, and toggle RAW back on, b) monitor over SDI for menus while shooting RAW, or c) control the camera over USB/Ethernet while shooting RAW.

What is the video out latency over HDMI and SDI? Would it be suitable for IMAG?

[@photojoseph]

sorry, don't know what that is… what's IMAG?

[@PeterVCook]

@@photojoseph IMAG stands for Image Magnification, it's when the video feed from a live event is shown on a big screen. Obviously, latency is very important in those scenarios as much more than a quarter second delay becomes distracting to those in the audience.

[@photojoseph]

Oh I see. It’s either 3 or 4 frames at 23.98. I don’t recall which. That’s HDMI; I’ve not measured SDI which may be lower. If it’s important I can test next week.

[@PeterVCook]

@@photojoseph I am actually more interested in the BGH1, I've heard people say the latency feels is lower out of SDI on that camera, but I haven't been able to find anyone who has actually measured it on either Panasonic box camera.

MP4 vs AVCHD on S1H : from Lumix S1H Handbook PDF, p.64 [MP4 / FHD] Create a new file and CONTINUE SHOOTING with the following conditions. - When the continuous recording time exceeds 30 minutes. - When the file size exceeds 4GB. Alternative Method: Can shoot for an unlimited time with AVCHD.

[@gecomann]

I own 3 of these cameras. Love shooting with them but they DO NOT GENLOCK @ 23.98 or 24 FPS….. while this may not seem like a big deal to most videographer types but for my use case it precludes me from using them as on set reference cameras on VFX shoots. Truly a bummer:(. If you have pull with Panasonic can we get a firmware update that would allow 23.98 and 24 FPS genlock?

[@photojoseph]

[@photojoseph]

No NDI or 4444, sorry. NDI would certainly be interesting, and while I'm sure it'd add to the cost (quite sure that NDI requires a licensing fee), it probably wouldn't be too bad. 4444 though is likely different story. You _can_ do RAW though, so there's that. And yeah I love my Takumar lenses. I have not tried a P67. I do own a Mamiya 645 lens and an adapter for L mount that I adore. So much fun.

@@photojoseph Yep, NDI does need a license - basically doubles the price of the Exvist HDMI-to-IP encoders,.. Still, surprised it's not there as Panasonic have already added it to some of their camcorders and vision mixers, and both of the FF and M4/3 bodies would make great studio crane cameras.

Is it global shutter???????? I just shot a feature thriller on the S5 and love it. I shoot into a Ninja so I get FULL FRAME 5.9k Prores RAW, 422,12 bit, and the image is poetry. I love it. Now, this is not a deal breaker, but as a narrative filmmaker the S5 already has everything I need. The only thing I might look for in an upgrade would be a global shutter. I am a devote and went from GH4's to 5's and 6's and then moved over to the S5 FULL FRAME. M4/3 just does not compare, guys. I love Panasonic color science and now I have full frame and full frame anamorphic! While I don't really need to do fast pans and can always arrange my action to move toward or away from the camera, global shutter would be the only other thing you might offer that might make me think about another camera for at least the next 5 to 10 years. I am a pro and have shot with high end Reds and Alexas and the image out of this S5 stands right along side any of them. Mind blowing!

[@KSmedia13]

Awesome video, but major heads up!! I do a lot of live streaming sports and I highly recommend if you are going to power a camera, do not use that same power into the Ninja or wireless transmitter. Both should have their own power source. Having one power source that is powering the camera and the device the signal is being sent to can damage the camera or both components. It is much safer for those two things to have their own power source.

Two holes on the bottom with this camera is great! Wonder why almost no consumer cameras are designed to be properly/securely attached to quick release plate or cage. (Conspiracy corner: It is almost like gear manufacturers have some upside to consumers having their gear more accident prone)

[@photojoseph]

I wouldn’t go that far :-) Those holes take up space, and most consumer tripod plates have just one screw and no post. So then do most consumer cameras. This is a pro camera! The 1H has an anti-spin hole, too. It’s fantastic.

[@randomgeocacher]

@@photojoseph would want it moved from “pro” level to “prosumer” level :) I’m in the 501 camp that is built for multi screw so maybe I’m biased. 501P/PL variants often come with either two screws, or a plastic anti spin (which many probably throws away since it looks like some garbage), or a metal anti spin. It is a bit confusing because I think manfrotto have changed what they ship over the years, plus everyone buys knockoffs and extra screws. I have had spins when using a 70-200/2.8, nothing fatal but scary. Just wanting the prosumer stuff to step up their game…, is a camera costs > $1000 it ought to be built to stick well to its tripod. Sorry if it got long and “arguing”! Just one of those small gripes / annoyances that gotten stuck in my brain, needed to vent into cyberspace :)

[@chariesbergero9662]

This camera BS1H is better than the Panasonic EVA1 or is a different camera ? This camera has ND filter and Varicam cinema tone?

[@photojoseph]

“Better” is a hard word. Different. It does NOT have built in ND. It DOES have V-Log, which Varicam has as well, so the cameras can match. This is full frame; Varicam is S35. Lots of differences.

[@chariesbergero9662]

@@photojoseph Ok. I understand, in my opinion I prefer a S35 sensor than a full frame, because I use normal and zoom lenses all the time, I don't need super wide angle lenses most of the time. I would like how this camera works in low light conditions if I campare with the EVA1. But It look like comfortable for persons who travel all the time.

[@photojoseph]

Totally understandable! I don't know that I'll get to do any low light tests before this camera has to go back to Panasonic, however since it's the same sensor as the S1H, if you can find any S1H low light tests, that'll show you what you'll get with it.

[@chariesbergero9662]

@@photojoseph Thanks for your answer, appreciate!!

[@chariesbergero9662]

@@photojoseph Most of the time, a video camera from Panasonic has better quality image and compression than the same photo camera line, for example GH5, I can not believe that Panasonic do a photocamera with the same codec quality compression and exact video image than a Video Professional camera. and cheaper. I think there must be some difference.

[@Holtenstein]

The removal of the IBIS makes this not an option for me. Or, they should have made two versions. The IBIS and the anamorphic options are the most unique part of the Lumix cameras. I'm already shooting with really heavy 2x anamorphic lenses. Saving a fraction in size and weight won't matter to my gimbal when the lens is massive and front-heavy already. Also, I leave the IBIS on with the gimbal.

[@photojoseph]

honestly I don't think IBIS would fit in this box… I doubt there's any room to spare! But if IBIS is necessary, and the savings of size and weight aren't important, then definitely the S1H is the camera for you. Thanks for watching!

[@Holtenstein]

Do you mean the SDI? Because the HDMI goes all the way to 11… I mean, RAW!

[@slipoch6635]

@@photojoseph I mean internal, if they had a usb-c port with usb 3.2 and could save raw to a HDD. Also the limitation to 4:2:0 to get decent resolution. Sacrificing data that is used in colour correction. (if you are not pushing your colours then this will probably not make a huge difference)

[@DavidManouchehri]

@@slipoch6635 That would violate one of RED’s patents.

[@slipoch6635]

no it wouldn't, USB is a standardised connection method and standardised communication protocol that RED has no patent on, which is why red lock down their SSD system with a custom serial identifier (this is the bit with a patent) to disallow using other ssds on their systems to the full extent (even though the ones they use are rubbish). Look at ARRI and Blackmagic, both of which can write directly through USB connections.

[@DavidManouchehri]

@@slipoch6635 USB, SD, NVMe, and USB are all common standards. Using any of them directly with the camera to storage raw footage would be inviting a lawsuit from RED. U.S. Patent No. 9,245,314 already covers the loophole you’re trying to use. “Additionally, in some embodiments, the storage device 24 can be mounted to an exterior of the housing 12 and connected to the remaining portions of the system 14 through any type of known connector or cable. Additionally, the storage device 24 can be connected to the housing 12 with a flexible cable, thus allowing the storage device 24 to be moved somewhat independently from the housing 12.”
