when Blackmagic first announced their pocket Cinema Camera I didn't think the
0:03
camera could get any smaller to my surprise Blackmagic has done it again
0:06
with their micro Cinema Camera lineus techtips coverage of NAB 2015 is brought
0:11
to you by Sennheiser Kingston SD cards
0:15
and linda.com the sensor on the micro cinema camera is a super 16 mm sensor
0:20
with a claimed rating of 13 stops of dynamic range the sensor also has both a
0:24
global and rolling shutter similarly to the newly announced ersa mini for the
0:28
lens mount black magic has continued using the active micro 43s lens mount
0:32
just like on the pocket Cinema Camera moving on to physical specs the camera
0:35
controls are now on the front of the camera initially this decision might
0:39
seem odd but if you look past it it makes a lot of sense black magic has
0:42
designed this camera to be used on small to medium siiz drones with the controls
0:46
on the front you'll be able to easily access all you need on the camera without having to reach around awkwardly
0:51
not knowing if you're pushing the correct button moving on to io on the
0:54
camera on the right side it has a full-sized HDMI black Magic's new
0:58
expansion Port which can be used to make specialized cables that can control the
1:01
settings of the camera one example they had was riging it to work with an RC
1:05
remote for wireless control of all of the settings on the left side of the
1:09
camera we find an SD card slot and microphone input for when you want to
1:12
attach an external mic the micro camera is capable of raw recording as well as
1:16
many flavors of Apple prores for power block Magic has gone with the widely
1:20
used Canon lp6 battery which many shooters will already have plenty up
1:25
from using Canon dslrs Blackmagic also announced a second variation on the
1:29
micro camera which has an ever so slightly larger sensor that is 4K
1:33
capable this version of the camera is geared more towards broadcast production
1:37
trading its internal SD card recording slot for a 6G SDI in and out while not a
1:42
direct competitor to say an action camera this camera is a good alternative
1:46
if you need a highquality image that records to a more robust codec than
1:49
others in the market I can see this camera being used as a crash cam or a
1:53
highquality way to get shots that you wouldn't be able to fit a traditional
1:56
camera in at a price point of $995 for this Standard Version and $12.95 for the
2:01
4K version Blackmagic has continued their trend of bringing affordable
2:05
quality to the masses thank you guys for watching and please let me know in the
