On the bottom of the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro, you can see a piece of plastic, when removed, reveals the battery grip contacts. The third battery is the one housed inside the camera’s battery compartment. Two batteries sit in the battery grip carriage tray. Battery Gripīlackmagic Design gave us a new battery grip that allows three NP-F570 to be used at once. The battery life depends a lot on how bright you have the LCD screen-the brighter the LCD screen, the shorter the battery times. I think the new NP-F570 batteries give a confidence boost from hour to hour and a half of shooting time. Know that most of my shoots are about an hour long. In my non-scientific testing, I shot several scenes, broll mostly, and I didn’t have to change a battery once. Fewer batteries are easier to keep track of and keep. Lord knows how many LP-E6 batteries I have littering my equipment area. I believe this one change might be the most significant want from previous pocket camera users. No longer does the camera have a Canon LP-E6 battery carriage instead, there is an NP-F570 battery slot. The Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro comes with a new battery slot. For me, I like less equipment attached to a camera which I will eventually forget and need. Yet, having a camera requiring minimal spare equipment can make life easier for shooters in some situations. I mean, I am one to attach a bunch of gear to a camera. Well, this kind of Pocket Cinema Camera op behavior may now come to an end for Pocket 6K Pro shooters.

I use a monitor on top of a monitor, essentially, to better see what I am shooting. If you think about it, it’s pretty ridiculous. I use a SmallHD Focus 7 on top of the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K to better see what I’m shooting. With the original Pocket Cinema Camera 4K and 6K, users needed to buy camera accessories to use the two outside during bright days. The list above has nothing to do with how a camera makes an image and everything about how you, the shooter, create an image. What’s new in the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro: I shot all hand-held using only the camera and the new features available and not a single added accessory. I shot a little video of my daughter with the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro. Yes, the internal sensor and Blackmagic RAW internal recording are the same, but the updates, well, they are to die for. The Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro is a wholly different shooting experience than the original. I can see the posts now “it’s the same camera.” “Oh, it’s the same sensor-nothing new here best to move on.” Do not listen to that clickbait.
