Their newest camera, which we first got to see in an interview with Grant Petty the day before NAB, is the Blackmagic Pocket 4k. They kind of get to do whatever they want - and that leads to some amazing things, like the URSA Mini Pro, but also leads to some quirky choices. They don't have 20-year long customer relationships that they have to keep happy by not obsoleting a technology too quickly, nor making sure their parts play well with last year's accessories. While Blackmagic is hugely dominant in post with their hardware and the Resolve software platform, in cameras, they get to play the "innovator" card. By setting yourself free from legacy constraints, you push things forward but run the risk of having some annoying stuff along the way. But it can also be very frustrating, like when the original RED camera used mini-SDI connectors for no good reason. This can be amazing, when a company opens up a completely new space, like RED bringing raw digital cinema cameras to the marketplace. True innovators feel free to break all the rules. So, without further ado, here is our hands-on field test review of the BMPCC 4K. We've been excited about this camera for quite awhile now - and have been covering some of the early news and add-ons for external power solutions, camera cage build-outs and attachable SSD options. Let's take a hands-on look at the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K ( which, if interested, you can purchase here ). Blackmagic continue to shake things up with some major revision for the new Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K.
