Next-gen Pocket Cinema Camera 6K unveiled by Blackmagic
The next-generation of Blackmagic Design’s Pocket Cinema Camera 6K has been debuted and features an adjustable screen, larger battery and an optional viewfinder.
“Since the release of the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro, customers have been asking for some of the features to be added to the 6K model,” said Grant Petty, Blackmagic Design CEO. “We’ve been able to achieve even greater manufacturing efficiencies which means that we are now able to release this new 6K model which adds an adjustable LCD touchscreen, larger longer battery life, support for the OLED viewfinder and improved on-screen menus. We are excited to be offering these additional features that have been so popular with customers.”
The new model shares the majority of the original G1 model’s core feature set, but adds a larger 6144 x 3456 Super 35 sensor and EF lens mount, allowing users to create cinematic images with shallower depth of field. A large, bright 5-inch touchscreen helps to frame shots and accurately focus, while on-screen overlays show status and record parameters, histogram, focus peaking indicators, levels, frame guides and more. The Pocket Cinema Camera 6K G2 LCD monitor is a more advanced display that can be tilted up and down to monitor a shot from any position. Both the G2 and existing models can both now use larger NP-F570 batteries for longer shooting times without needing to change or charge.
