That camera was bulky, had poor low light performance, and had many issues that desperately needed an upgrade. This camera seemed like a dream come true as I was a long-time user of the Blackmagic Cinema Camera 2.5K. It can also be powered for up to 70 minutes by attaching an optional Canon LP-E6 type battery to the back of the camera.According to Blackmagic’s website, the Pocket Cinema 4K offers a list of great features, including a mirrorless 4/3 HDR sensor, dual native ISO with up to 26,500 ISO, and more at a price point of 1,295 USD. The camera is powered using an included AC power adapter. Additional connectors found on the camera body itself include an HDMI monitor output and 3.5mm audio input. It also includes DC power input, LANC control, and genlock reference input. The breakout cable offers connections such as a PTZ serial output for use with motorized heads and B4 data link output for controlling broadcast lenses. It is equipped with a unique expansion port, which expands the camera's connections through an included breakout cable. The camera packs many professional studio features into a compact form factor, including a built-in color corrector, talkback, tally indicator, PTZ control output, and B4 lens control output.Ĭompact in size, the Micro Studio Camera 4K is similar in size and shape to an action camera, making it easy to hide on set or mount in places or on rigs where a larger camera can't fit. It outputs 10-bit 4:2:2 video via 6G-SDI and can be remotely controlled from an ATEM switcher using SDI control protocol. The camera is equipped with an active MFT mount that can accept native MFT lenses or be adapted to a wide range of other modern and vintage lenses, including B4 lenses. It features the same image sensor found in Blackmagic's Studio Camera 4K, which supports 3840 x 2160 video up to 30 fps and 1080p video up to 60 fps. The Blackmagic Micro Studio Camera 4K is a compact Ultra HD camera designed for live productions.
