This Is The $800 RED Komodo Killer. (BMPC 4k)

[@Fedorevsky]

lol, the Komodo doesn't have anywhere near 16 stops of dynamic range. It has 12-12.5 depending on which codec you use.

[@pavannayak7668]

What about c70 dynamic range

[@stevenuseda6317]

@@pavannayak766812.3 for the c70, 12.4 for the a7siii/fx3 and 10.1 for the r5c and r5

[@jackl7688]

It is 16

[@brazhnikov]

bmpc 4k has about 8-9 stops.

[@ROCKEANDOPUEBLOS]

I dont need 16 stop of dynamic range if I have good hans on expose my raw video, BLACKMAGIC IS A TERMINATOR MACHINE !

[@FrankieDoguet]

I had one and worked many years with it, still my favourite camera I've ever own...

What ssd does you recommand cz im face problem stops recording in 4k sudenly and still the memroy empty

[@noth606]

@@astrophilicsfilms2882 What do you mean "memroy empty" ? Did you format the SSD in the camera? I mean by using the camera menu... There are tons of SSD's but I'm assuming you have one that you tried with? They don't do very good error messages unfortunately, I'm getting strangely choppy video with ProresHQ 4.2.2 but no errors, I suspect my SSD is too slow or something but I also don't want to go buy a bunch of different ones to try...

@@noth606 yes formated internaly and i think my ssd is slow

@@astrophilicsfilms2882 Yeah you have to get one that's at least as fast for long sustained writes as a samsung 850 evo. I use them - relatively cheap pre-owned from CEX in the UK.

[@zak0937]

@@astrophilicsfilms2882 Might be a little late, but I use 1tb Samsung 860 EVO drives. They are the only modern ssds that I have found that work with the BMPC4K. Stay away from WD and Seagate ssds, their buffers can't keep up with all the data.

[@zachsurp]

internet dweebs so good at reading gear specs - no wonder we're being replaced by robots so easily - we've made the transition flawless

[@ghostAndDarkness-o4n]

Only downside was the file sizes (being uncompressed raw) were huge. 17mins on a 250gb ssd. I know ssd's have gone cheaper now but they're still huge files. I bought the 2.5k Cc again, which is a little better in terms of size, but the image is still good if not better; and upscaling is not an issue. But yeah no global shutter

[@smalldeekgeorge]

File size is not a problem anymore. 1tb $80 for good ssd new

[@__spike__]

@@smalldeekgeorge what ssd?

[@E.R.U.42]

What about bit depth?

[@edwardlthompson]

Love the video! When can we see more footage or videos about this camera? I'm one of the people in need of a global shutter.

[@KurruptedDataYouT]

I have the BMMCC, I had one guy walk up to me and was like" yooo is that the new Komodo??!" And I was like nope lol.

[@KingdomConnectChurch]

can wee use it for long video continual shooting for 2 hrs with power cable plugged in.

[@espaciocreativo5029]

Cual es el adaptador para la batería?

[@dlprod11]

Great camera. It does shoot in 24fps as well.

[@ichosvideoproductions6626]

Can you send one link of the model battery platte and cable to connect to the camera? thanks

[@jieyiwang1749]

nice review. Did you try to match these 2 cameras? I will probably have these two cameras as my setup for dialogues scene

[@tonysluna]

Great Video.. and I have a used one also... Can you list the videos on your channel that you are using this BMPC 4k UHD Camera... Please....

[@pedrohernanfotografo1197]

Como se llama ese accesorio para la barría externa????

[@joeymain2539]

It’s really annoying you blurred the camera all the way through when it’s in the thumbnail and title I’d rather just see it thanks

[@JordanElliottMcClure]

I would love to see a review of this camera. Also wondering if there is a way to adapt old M42 mount lenses.

[@sideeye579]

If you're talking about the BMPC, I have an M42 to EF adapter that works fine.

[@Audiotopic]

thanx. this helps a lot

[@kevinschletze6014]

This cam pops up like every two years on KZbin until everyone seems to forget about it again and the cycle repeats. lol

[@kevinschletze6014]

For anyone stumbling over this vid in 2024 or later. You can get a Ursa mini 4k for about the same price (sometimes even with the VMount plate) and get a better package all together. The, throw in a CFast-SSD Adaptation für 90€ and you’re done.

[@relaxwithme3266]

The Komodo does not have 16 stops DR. It has 12.5 stops at SNR=2. Unless you are going by the marketing department. But then you'd also have to believe FX3 has 15 stops lol. Check out CineD tests to confirm.

[@Elusive_Pete]

The Production is to the Pocket (4k&6k) what the Mysterium is to the Komodo. They have similar characteristics of depth and that elusive "film quality".

[@mrshaheedmalik]

I'm glad I have both.

[@stevenkerr1455]

Sadly there’s not one on Sale on eBay now for less than 1K AUD

[@YondaiTV]

2,5 is far better than 4k if we talk about cinematography filming

[@indierent7168]

why is that?

[@donwellsmedia]

@@indierent7168 different sensor

I have the Ursa 4k with the same sensor but i think the Ursa gets 13 stops of Dr

[@thebookins]

This is their only camera with global shutter so the ursa has a slightly different sensor hence better dr.

[@bluefilmsltd]

@@kazlepek6552 Ursa mini 4K..but he is wrong, it doesn't have better dynamic range, it actually only has about 8 stops...

[@MichaelWeizenfeld]

The DR of the camera is pretty limited. I think 10 or less stops. After I own it, any other cameras I had makes me feel like they have unlimited DR.

[@jdsmedia]

100%. Thats why the 2.5k is superior. Specially if you can find the mft model. With a Speedbooster you get around super 35 field of view, one whole stop more light, and more dynamic range.

[@angryrabbitproductions1690]

It’s OK if you have a limited budget and can work within its limitations. I believe this sensor suffered from the “black sun” issue and fixed pattern noise. Also terrible in low light. Trust me, it’s no Komodo 6K killer lol. I mean seriously LOL. But that said, it’s more about the talent behind the camera, than the camera. Honestly, take a look at the below footage and with a straight face spout off that the discontinued BMDPC4K is a Red Komodo 6K “Killer”. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGWYoniNrduDpqM

[@C.I...]

I mean, the BMPC4K doesn't have colour fringing around backlit stuff...

[@donwellsmedia]

the black sun is a one click fix in resolve

[@smalldeekgeorge]

Just find one that is not affected by fpn and you are ready to make amazing videos...

[@kazlepek6552]

fpn?

[@smalldeekgeorge]

Yes. These cameras were affected by fixed pattern noise. Even at 400 iso on some cameras footages were unusable. It was production error not all of produced cameras had this problem.

[@bluefilmsltd]

@@smalldeekgeorge Wasn't there an update that took care of that?

[@smalldeekgeorge]

Kind of... But actually no.. it was on hardware level. Software just did some fpn lines reordering. Some cameras will work for 30min before camera sensor get hot and fpn shows up.

[@bluefilmsltd]

@@smalldeekgeorge Ok thank you, this is good to know. This is a pass for me then.

I saw the specs - it does 60 fps.

Agreed

[@DanielTroyer]

I hate this camera. Have shot features with it, the original ursa, and the ursa mini 4k. All have the same sensor and it’s the bane of my existence. The highlights clip so ugly and it’s limited dynamic range make it feel like you’re shooting with a DSLR, not a cinema camera. Should have bought a 2.5k😉

[@nelsoncarmenate1666]

I bought it for 1,500 euros in 2018 for a project and sold it a month for 1,000, it's the worst camera I've tried, very poor sensitivity, non-existent dynamic range, despite being 12-bit raw there is no color depth, don't buy that not even for 200 dollars, it's useless. BMPCC 1080p and BMCC 2.5K are a thousand times better.
