00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:07.520
if you're looking for an affordable video camera well then you've probably heard of

00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:09.599
blackmagic and today they might have one

00:00:07.520 --> 00:00:12.880
of the best value cameras they've ever released

00:00:10.719 --> 00:00:17.279
and i'm about to unbox it the blackmagic 6k pro

00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:22.320
so let's see whoa the pocket is also still in the name but

00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:27.439
i have a feeling that this camera isn't actually going to be very small okay

00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:31.519
so in the top of the box we get a nicely arranged bunch of international

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:34.800
adapters we get a

00:00:33.120 --> 00:00:38.960
little quick start guide with the manual which is online you can get on the qr

00:00:36.480 --> 00:00:38.960
code here

00:00:39.760 --> 00:00:45.360
a wall adapter for the camera so if you ever need to plug it in for like live

00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:49.039
streaming or just a long shoot or an interview or something like that you

00:00:46.480 --> 00:00:54.399
have this included and this camera which is awesome uses the sony

00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:59.920
np550 battery so if you've ever used like one of those onboard led lights or

00:00:57.280 --> 00:01:03.760
honestly a lot of just camera accessories in general most

00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:07.439
of them will use a battery like this like monitors that kind of thing so it's

00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:11.040
nice that you could probably just reuse your small versions of these batteries

00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:14.560
in this camera and a camera strap okay

00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:22.080
oh this is thick wow you know what i will hand it to you

00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:25.759
block magic your packing material is always

00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:28.080
very good okay

00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:34.240
holy crap this thing is huge

00:01:34.960 --> 00:01:44.320
okay notice on the box it says

00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:46.720
black magic pocket cinema camera 6k pro

00:01:44.320 --> 00:01:49.759
i understand the naming i understand that the

00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:55.520
this version this tier of the camera has always been called the pocket no this

00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:57.759
could be a backpack but

00:01:55.520 --> 00:02:04.479
for some context i have here the original blackmagic

00:02:01.360 --> 00:02:07.439
pocket cinema camera notice that if i

00:02:04.479 --> 00:02:14.080
took this lens adapter off and i have a jacket pocket right here it

00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:14.080
actually fits in my pocket

00:02:15.040 --> 00:02:21.280
this is the blackmagic pocket 4k now again

00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:26.480
not a small camera like it's packable it still sort of deserves the pocket name

00:02:23.760 --> 00:02:29.680
it doesn't it's not pocketable but this is another level

00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:35.120
like this is the original black magic i swear

00:02:32.959 --> 00:02:39.760
this camera's bigger yeah it is blackmagic what are you doing you could

00:02:37.040 --> 00:02:42.400
have named it slightly differently okay let's look at the rest of this camera

00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:46.480
and see what actually makes it different from the pocket 4k that i just showed

00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:51.280
um first thing right off the bat you can see that the display

00:02:48.640 --> 00:02:54.720
is now tiltable which honestly

00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:58.959
even though the motion range doesn't seem to be

00:02:56.160 --> 00:03:02.640
that significant it's going to be very useful for a lot of you out there

00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:07.040
especially if you're shooting from the hip and you just need to see downward

00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:11.599
instead of like having to have any sort of external monitor the display itself

00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:14.480
can actually just flip down for you and now you can shoot from the hip quite

00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:20.000
comfortably but on top of that this display is actually 1500 nits so you get

00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:21.360
HDR daylight viewability on the camera

00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:24.959
itself which is something that blackmagic cameras haven't done before

00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:31.040
because all the displays on all the other cameras kind of suck to use outside and you sort

00:03:28.799 --> 00:03:34.000
of have to use an external monitor this one though

00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:39.040
you're not forced to on the top of the camera it feels fairly familiar it's the

00:03:35.920 --> 00:03:40.239
three mappable function buttons an on

00:03:39.040 --> 00:03:46.480
off switch a little tab where you can actually unlock it and put in evf and i'll show

00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:51.519
that you that in a second the iso button a shutter button white balance a stills

00:03:48.799 --> 00:03:54.239
button and then the record button on the right of the camera pretty

00:03:52.720 --> 00:03:59.360
straightforward we have the memory slots which are cfast

00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:03.360
and an sd card and then of course you can also use like samsung t5 drives on

00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:07.280
this camera it has on the front

00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:11.920
the amazing blackmagic 6k sensor that i've actually

00:04:10.480 --> 00:04:16.239
yet to try because i've never used the pocket 6k the standard pocket 6k and

00:04:14.239 --> 00:04:20.639
this is the pro so i'm excited to give that a shot in a second

00:04:18.400 --> 00:04:26.000
you clearly have much larger intakes of air on the right

00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:31.360
and left here of the camera sensor the front of the top of the camera has a quarter 20 which

00:04:29.520 --> 00:04:36.240
is fairly standard and on the left of the camera we've got microphone

00:04:32.880 --> 00:04:38.639
headphone a full-size HDMI type-c for

00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:44.080
charging as well as the samsung t5 drives and two mini xlr ports now the

00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:47.919
pocket actually only had one and the 6k

00:04:46.400 --> 00:04:52.639
that was also the case but on this camera you get two mini xlr ports which

00:04:50.880 --> 00:04:56.400
is a big deal because often if you need audio built into your

00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:59.440
camera and you need to feed it through you will probably find yourself in

00:04:57.919 --> 00:05:03.680
situations where you need more than one xlr port and this camera has two and you

00:05:02.320 --> 00:05:08.080
also have the 12v power in when you want to power the camera off the wall finishing off the back of the camera

00:05:06.400 --> 00:05:14.639
we've got two new buttons the plus and minus nd filter which this camera has a

00:05:11.520 --> 00:05:17.199
2 4 and 6 stop nd which is very nice to

00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:22.560
have we've got the iris button the focus button high frame rate punch in to check

00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:27.680
your focus menu and play and lastly and i'm very glad blackmagic

00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:31.360
added this because there are other cameras the other pocket cameras do not

00:05:29.840 --> 00:05:37.120
have this but on the bottom of the camera there are two quarter 20s with

00:05:34.960 --> 00:05:41.440
two points on the bottom built in the body you are not required to have a cage

00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:46.639
in order to prevent the annoying twist that can happen when the camera loosens

00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:51.120
off on the tripod and that just makes every operator happier

00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:53.520
so thank you blackmagic for adding that before i turn the camera on i actually

00:05:52.400 --> 00:05:58.800
want to unbox a couple of the accessories that blackmagic sent over they sent over their battery pro grip

00:05:57.280 --> 00:06:05.800
which is basically just like a battery grip and then this is their pro evf

00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:05.800
which i'm very interested to try

00:06:11.520 --> 00:06:16.479
i mean first impressions the grip feels

00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:20.560
a little bit cheap um but i guess functionally it doesn't

00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:26.479
necessarily matter it doesn't feel like it's going to break or anything it's just not the nicest kind of plastic

00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:30.720
it still also has the two quarter 20 points on the bottom which i appreciate

00:06:29.280 --> 00:06:33.880
let's put it on the camera and see how it feels

00:06:41.840 --> 00:06:48.000
um so we put the grip on this camera was

00:06:45.280 --> 00:06:53.360
already not that light for the size and it is now very not light for the size

00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:57.440
in theory you can have three full charged batteries in this camera and the

00:06:55.759 --> 00:07:02.160
pockets have always been fairly power efficient but i don't know if it's worth the wait

00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:06.479
trade-off because the fact that you also have to have the camera about an inch

00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:10.319
taller could be hugely impractical for a lot of

00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:15.120
camera accessories and i really have no and like because

00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:20.080
it's not a stills camera holding it like this which is what you would usually do

00:07:17.520 --> 00:07:25.199
with a battery grip on a camera it feels sort of dumb let's see if the

00:07:22.240 --> 00:07:25.199
evf is any better

00:07:27.599 --> 00:07:33.199
it's actually bigger than i expected you got a couple eye cups

00:07:33.280 --> 00:07:38.479
different styles i guess it's for like if you want to use it with your left eye

00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:42.960
or your right eye i don't okay i'm just gonna use it with my right eye

00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:45.840
this is a cinema camera so let's put a cinema lens on it

00:07:51.039 --> 00:07:57.840
this my friends is why when you add vertical height to your camera

00:07:55.680 --> 00:08:01.280
it's not ideal you don't really want it to like lean the weight of the camera on

00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:06.800
the lens i just hope this illustrates the point that this

00:08:04.319 --> 00:08:10.960
feels very stupid i just took off that little cover this

00:08:08.639 --> 00:08:15.039
thing is just like a screw and a very quite large piece of plastic if you look

00:08:12.879 --> 00:08:18.800
here so there's quite a bit of depth the entire front of my fingernail fits

00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:23.680
within this space which is actually a lot bigger than i expected

00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:27.680
all right let's put this guy on oh and there's also

00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:33.200
a hand tightened screw and it's a plastic

00:08:30.400 --> 00:08:38.159
like top handle for the screw which i am not a fan of

00:08:34.959 --> 00:08:38.159
how much is this evf

00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:43.360
five hundred dollars

00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:50.480
black magic let's see how good it is

00:08:48.560 --> 00:08:54.320
well it works quite instantaneously that's nice

00:08:52.320 --> 00:09:01.040
it's not the worst evf i've ever used 500 seems a little bit steep to charge

00:08:58.160 --> 00:09:04.160
for it it also doesn't fully go vertical which

00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:09.519
isn't i guess a huge deal the last thing though is the color doesn't actually

00:09:06.399 --> 00:09:10.320
match the back of the lcd on the camera

00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:15.680
so without looking out on a computer i'm actually not sure which one of them is

00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:21.519
accurate more accurate than the other i would guess that the lcd on the actual

00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:27.360
body is better and more accurate than this because the evf seems a little bit

00:09:24.800 --> 00:09:31.440
on the shallow side andy is back there shaking his head because he has no faith

00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:35.279
in the black magic displays because the orisa mini 12ks have proved to be

00:09:33.760 --> 00:09:40.080
quite horrible on the onboard camera display now that

00:09:37.760 --> 00:09:43.839
we've looked at the grip in the evf only a couple things left to test the

00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:47.120
new nds in this new display let's go outside

00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:51.839
so now we're outside and you guys will probably start to see what i meant by

00:09:48.880 --> 00:09:55.600
when you add vertical height to a camera it's less than ideal this is the battery

00:09:54.320 --> 00:10:00.240
grip with it mounted properly with the two screws

00:09:57.680 --> 00:10:04.480
in the bottom on the tripod and it's tall

00:10:02.160 --> 00:10:08.720
also because the camera doesn't have a cold shoe or hot shoe mount on the body

00:10:06.720 --> 00:10:12.720
itself we've had to actually add this cold shoe mount

00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:16.399
in order to add our lav receiver and if you didn't have a cage

00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:21.120
this might be what you have to do in order to get like a place to mount your

00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:26.399
lav receiver and audio and then this is what it might look like to use

00:10:23.680 --> 00:10:32.640
an xlr adapter cable to this port so cable management

00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:36.160
is a little annoying i mean and that's kind of one of the things that these

00:10:34.320 --> 00:10:40.240
pocket cameras have never been amazing at despite all their features is

00:10:38.720 --> 00:10:44.560
there's not really a great way to route all this stuff with

00:10:42.800 --> 00:10:48.640
the camera by itself you will have to add a cage or some sort of cable

00:10:46.560 --> 00:10:52.240
management to just tidy up the rig so that these things kind of don't get into

00:10:50.160 --> 00:10:56.480
your way when you're shooting but if you were just on a tripod doing a

00:10:54.240 --> 00:11:00.640
long interview with a shot like this you'd probably be totally fine it's not

00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:04.800
a big deal i will admit though that the back of the camera when i actually have

00:11:02.560 --> 00:11:09.200
the brightness 100 it's kind of a cloudy day today but the sun

00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:13.200
is coming in and out and i can see everything

00:11:11.920 --> 00:11:16.560
on the camera there is no issues i don't have to

00:11:15.040 --> 00:11:20.160
squint and look like i don't have to cover the like

00:11:18.160 --> 00:11:24.320
1500 nits it's impressive this is definitely

00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:28.399
daylight viewable and that's pretty awesome so just to give you guys an idea

00:11:26.560 --> 00:11:33.680
of what it's like to use the nds outside here's the camera with zero nd

00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:37.519
and this is the two stop this is the four stop

00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:41.760
and the six stop and in this case in the shooting condition i think the six stop

00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:47.680
makes the most sense since we're at iso 200 and f 2.8 this camera does have a 6k

00:11:45.920 --> 00:11:55.680
sensor and it's the same sensor that was in the pocket 6k and so it can shoot up

00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:56.399
to 50 FPS at 6k or up to 120 FPS at

00:11:55.680 --> 00:12:01.680
k now at 2.8k at 120fps you do have to

00:11:59.519 --> 00:12:06.079
crop in on the sensors you will lose some field of view on your image

00:12:04.160 --> 00:12:10.959
but other than that those specs are still today fairly respectable so while

00:12:08.800 --> 00:12:15.440
we actually test the image on the pocket 6k pro and we're actually feeding audio

00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:18.399
from this lab that i'm wearing directly into the camera forgive the wind noise

00:12:17.120 --> 00:12:24.560
because we are outside and is a little bit windy right now a word from our sponsor pia pia is the

00:12:22.959 --> 00:12:28.240
easy to use vpn that allows you to access services and websites as if you

00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:32.560
were in a different country it encrypts all of your internet traffic and uses a

00:12:30.079 --> 00:12:38.399
safe protected ip connect up to 10 devices at once clients for Windows mac

00:12:34.880 --> 00:12:41.600
os Android iOS and Linux buy a one year

00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:43.600
plan for 39.95 at the link in the video

00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:46.880
description so this is what the image looks like when we're outside with the

00:12:44.959 --> 00:12:50.720
nd filters on this is about as bare bones as the setup would actually get

00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:54.399
it's just the camera a lens the built-in nds on a tripod

00:12:53.040 --> 00:12:58.000
so let me know what you guys think in the comments down below and let's show

00:12:56.160 --> 00:13:01.440
you a couple other shots while we're out here so i hope those examples give you

00:12:59.839 --> 00:13:05.680
guys an idea of what this camera is like to use at the end of the day it's still the

00:13:03.920 --> 00:13:09.200
same 6k sensor that they used in the pocket 6k the model previous

00:13:08.399 --> 00:13:14.399
and it just adds the built-in nds the 1 500

00:13:11.839 --> 00:13:18.880
net display the extra xlr port and a couple of the other body changes that

00:13:15.839 --> 00:13:21.279
just make it a more pro experience

00:13:18.880 --> 00:13:25.760
and they deliver all of that at twenty five hundred dollars to give you guys

00:13:23.120 --> 00:13:31.920
context canon c70 is fifty or five hundred dollars the a7s iii is thirty

00:13:28.800 --> 00:13:34.560
five hundred dollars the sony fx6 is six

00:13:31.920 --> 00:13:40.959
thousand dollars the canon c200 which is a couple years old at this point fifty

00:13:36.560 --> 00:13:43.360
five hundred dollars a used fs5 mark ii

00:13:40.959 --> 00:13:46.880
is thirty five hundred dollars now just i told you all that to put in

00:13:45.040 --> 00:13:51.040
perspective that this camera is twenty five 2500

00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:54.320
cheaper than all of those and it has very similar functionality there are

00:13:52.560 --> 00:14:00.880
features that it doesn't have compared to those cameras but considering

00:13:57.279 --> 00:14:03.519
blackmagic always has been at the bottom

00:14:00.880 --> 00:14:06.959
of good value now you pay for

00:14:05.199 --> 00:14:10.880
qc and form factors like this

00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:15.199
when it comes to those features but if you're the type of person looking for those things all in one camera at a

00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:20.639
price point that is under 3 500

00:14:17.360 --> 00:14:20.639
well then this is your only option

00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:25.839
so good job blackmagic sort of

00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:29.199
i'm sure there's going to be many people out there who use this camera

00:14:27.760 --> 00:14:34.160
and if you are the type of person who would buy this camera let me know if you think the battery grip or the evf would

00:14:32.560 --> 00:14:38.079
be useful to you because the evf i can see being useful in

00:14:36.480 --> 00:14:43.440
certain situations though sort of an expensive addition

00:14:40.880 --> 00:14:48.959
the battery grip i think that's just kind of stupid there

00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:50.079
are better ways to invest 150 us dollars

00:14:48.959 --> 00:14:54.360
but let me know thank you guys for watching please subscribe
