Blackmagic is releasing a new, “Pro” version of its Pocket Cinema Camera 6K, which looks to fix a lot of the pain points we found in the original. It adds a tiltable, brighter screen (and an optional electronic viewfinder attachment), a bigger battery, and built-in ND. The camera is slotting into Blackmagic’s line-up above the regular 6K, coming in at $2,495, about $500 more than the non-Pro version.

Colortime’s Russell Lynch loves DaVinci Resolve Studio for its flexibility and advanced feature set. “I love that Resolve gives me so many tools that let me achieve a wide range of looks, no matter what the client requests. On shows like ‘A Million Little Things” it’s important I’m not limited by the software, and only by our imagination. DaVinci Resolve has everything I need to get my job done well.”

Blackmagic Design has announced the new Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro. It’s a full-frame version of the regular Pocket 6K, but with some features of the URSA Mini Pro. Blackmagic says that this isn’t just an incremental update to the Pocket 6K and is a completely new design, which is a bit beefier, with a whole bunch of new features.
One new feature, resolving a big complaint of both the Pocket 4K and Pocket 6K is that it has a tilting touchscreen LCD. Yup, that’s right, it’s not fixed anymore, meaning you can easily get those low down and high up shots without always having to resort to an external monitor.

Blackmagic Design has unveiled the Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro (BMPCC 6K Pro), an updated version of its BMPCC 6K cinema camera with some extra professional features. The new model now includes a much brighter 1,500 nit HDR display that can be tilted (though not swiveled), whereas the screen on the last model was fixed in place. That should make it easier to see when shooting in daylight, while also giving you a more accurate view for HDR productions.
On top of the brighter screen, the BMPCC 6K Pro supports an optional 3.68-million dot OLED electronic viewfinder (EVF) priced at $495. It has a built-in proximity sensor to switch automatically between the screen and EVF, can swivel up and down through 70 degrees and displays status information like frame guides.
