Pocket Sized Blackmagic Digital Cinema Camera

Introducing the pocket sized Super 16 digital film camera that’s small enough to keep with you at all times, so you’ll never miss a shot! It is designed specifically for shooting in the remote locations and confined spaces that are common to documentaries and photo journalism.

This film camera is very compact and smaller than other known models. As it was designed for filming cinema quality video in difficult environments, it is easy to transport. The magnesium alloy body is strong and durable. The Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera achieves its high film quality with the help of a dynamic range of 13 stops, capturing the smallest details even in high contrast or poorly lit environments. The silicone cover makes the camera comfortable and secure to hold over long shoots. The micro four-thirds interchangeable lens mount accepts a large range of lenses in all price brackets, from consumer lenses through to high-end cinematic lenses. This makes the affordable Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera a realistic option for amateur and professional filmmakers alike and opens up new creative possibilities.

The Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera records 1080HD resolution ProRes 422 (HQ) files direct to fast SD cards, so you can immediately edit or color correct your media on your laptop.Starting with the back, the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera features a 3.5-inch 800×480 LCD screen that is fixed in place against the left edge. Towards the right edge are Iris and Focus buttons, followed by a four-way controller with an OK button in the center, and finally, both Menu and Power buttons near the bottom. On the left side you’ll find a LANC port for using a remote control unit, a headphone output, microphone input, Micro HDMI output, and a 12V power input used for powering the camera and charging the battery.

Battery and memory card slots are on the bottom of the camera. The bottom has a small door under the grip that reveals the battery and memory card slots, and there is a 1/4-20-inch thread tripod mount centered under the lens mount. The top features simple playback controls and the Record button, placed where a shutter button would be on a still camera, as well as a second 1/4-20-inch thread mount for accessories. The Micro Four Thirds lens mount is active, providing focus and iris controls to compatible lenses, and also works perfectly with passive lenses and adapters for different lens mounts.
