Blackmagic Cinema Camera still Kicks A$$ 10 years later!  

I'm an independent filmmaker. Currently own BMCC 2.5k EF and MFT version + BMPC 4k. Considering quality of the image, the only cameras that can beat the beast are: Ursa G2 and Alexa.

Great to see other people who appreciate this camera. I have given up chasing pixels for my work when everything is rendered to `1080p. I have two BMPCC OG's and a BMPCC 4K with all the cine lenses for them. I kept looking on eBay and scored a BMCC with MFT mount, cage, SSD, V mount battery, and a Rokinon 12mm lens (which I did not have) for $720! Now I can use all of my cine lenses across the range of cameras. I did find a deal on a BeachTek DXA-BMD new in the box for $80 and that provides phantom power to a shotgun mic. I shoot raw into Davinci Resolve Studio. Just a wonderful camera to have Love both the BMPCC OG's and BMCC images better than the 4K. Show us more on this camera. Thanks

I appreciate your passion and efforts. But honestly, the test footage didn't do justice to this camera at all. I have seen incredible materials from the camera. But here, shaky and defocus shots make it impossible to evaluate details. Also know that unmotivated camera shakes can trigger dizziness.

I have both 2.5 and 4K had a used pocket version until I tried to clean the sensor and board would not power back on but they are great and with film convert it’s still awesome

Great informative video. I'm very Old School, LOL. I grew up in film, from 8mm to 35mm, still love to shoot film, load the camera, set the meter, take a reading, set the lens and shoot. When I made the transition to DIGITAL in 2011, It was like teaching an elephant to learn tap dancing. My first taste was with the Canon 7D, for a documentary in France, then I bought another 7D this time a modified 7D PL Mount from FVG, because I had some great PL glass. Then the bug bit harder and I purchased a used SONY F35, an incredible camera for features and a RED ONE MX outfit, which also is fantastic. If you have a small crew these cameras are the best, but if you want to Run & Gun, you have a problem. I went out and purchased a BMCC 2.5K MFT mount, since I have 24+ Pre-1986 manual Nikkors Lenses. Great look because of the lead in the lens. The BMCC I use with the BM Handle Set the Aluminum one with the two upright handles and a 18mm Nikkor. Works well. If I have to rig it I use the base and rail system off the 7D FVG, works well. I love the MFT mount. Always nice to hear another fan of BMCC talk.

I still have mine and its still very practical with the ssd drive. altho a bit heavy during handheld .

Hello, just a question: Which battery from Zitay are you powering the BMCC with? on their web site, the only one powerful enough to power the 12V it needs, does not seem to have the usual DC in? Or does it? Do you use a 8.9C, 7.2V or 14.4V?

Great content! Could you recommend the best batteries for the older Blackmagic Cinema Camera 4K? Thanks.

Great camera. Unfortunately for me I’ve had to turn it in for service twice to replace the dirty sensor protector glass. Other than that it’s been a beautiful experience.

Fact that BMCC MFT can not be found for sale anywhere, says a lot how good they are.

Looks pretty good, nice colors with a lot of details , so how about rolling shutter, is any good? Can you make a rolling shutter test please I will appreciate, thanks for the video

Hello Great Content, Have you, by any chances, some advice to train oneself to be good at follow focus ? I Have a DJI R SC2 combo with follow focus motor with a BMMCC on it and i struggle very much to do movements, framing and focus at the same time ^^

what is the Model # of that Zitay Battery? Great video.. by the way

what gimbal do u recomend for this cinema camera

i only have 2.5k ef mount, not the 4k. i feel 1.5k short

Hard to tell sharpness and overall quality due to focus and stability problems. These are not handheld run and gun (thats what sony's are for ).
