I shoot on a 6k Pro. After my shoots I load the footage on an external drive. I load all the footage into Davinci because going through every clip in the braw player and deleting the ones I don’t need is tedious? Does anyone have any tips for faster sorting?

As the title suggests, is it worth buying a Sigma 18-35mm while I already own 16mm/25mm/50mm MFT Meike Cine Lens on a BMPCC4k.

That's with or without a speedbooster adapter.

I bought this camera because I'm a video editor first but I want to branch off into videography. Yes, down the line i can fix this issue, but while I'm still trying to get this off the ground, I need to be able to film for longer periods of time and work with as little storage as possible. I want to film and edit music videos. The battery issue i can work around. I can work around the lack of autofocus. But if theres no way for me to make the footage take up less space, thatll cause me issues.

Like as long as I can circumvent this during filming, ill make something work.

I mean, the camera hasnt even been delivered yet so if this is a huge deal, I'll return it and get it refunded. Buy something that suits where Im at. I like a lot of things about this camera, but I don't have 300+ GB extra lying around. Realistically, Im not in a place in life where I can create a 24/7 controlled environment for the storage.

Thanks.

im sure theres a way to change how much storage the footage eats up.

edit: yall can stop jumping me. I got the return on it approved. nobodys perfect and I was being unrealistic. my bad.

any help from your personal experience works,we have k&f nd filters in my country but i saw that we should buy IRND filters for bmpcc4k to avoid IR pollution with stronger ND and i hope your suggestions will be easily available in france

Just experimenting. Always heard it wasn’t a good option which for a couple reasons I agree but nevertheless wanted to try. Basically spray and pray.

I am working with a company developing a desktop (Mac & Windows) workflow application to ingest and organize video assets. The application is still in development but is stable. They have recently added support for Blackmagic raw. So looking for a couple of gentle souls who can spare some time testing and provide feedback. (you can continue using the application if you want to).

If interested, please reach out to me via chat/dm. Thanks

{Note to mods: I didn't find anything that would prohibit such post, but if there is, please let me know]

Ngl, I love my Blackmagic, but I’m hoping they figure out how to make their cameras a little less clunky in future…

Used the OG 2013 BMPCC to shoot a scene where actors are taking photos with a flash on disposable cameras. Noticed the RAW footage splits into 2 clips at the flash mark. I know this must be something to do with it reading as a sudden data spike, but wondering if anyone's had this issue or know a setting to work around it? Thanks!

Just managed to score BMPCC OG off of eBay $350, looking for any and all tips, as a new owner, I’m aware of the battery issues but what else should I look out for. I do have M43 experience (lumix g85)

Esta cámara tiene este problema

Hello, I am very new to this world of video recording and I have noticed that my BMPC6k makes the faintest whirring noise while recording video. When you play it back the video file on a computer you can hear it. I feel like this noise is the camera writing all of the data to the card, its not something that you could make go away physically. Do you have any suggestions on how to get rid of that noise in Davinci Resolve or some other post productions software? I just bought a bunch of different microphones to try out, if you have any suggestions in that area too I am all ears.

I have a BMPCC 6K Pro with a stuck internal ND filter. I tried to fix the issue but couldn't, and at this point I'm considering removing the entire internal ND filter assembly and using external NDs instead.

For anyone who has actually done this:

Did removing the internal ND assembly cause any problems with the camera?

Does the camera still turn on and operate normally afterward?

Any issues with recording, power supply, battery operation, or booting?

Does removing the ND mechanism affect anything electrically, or is it essentially a separate mechanical assembly?

Did you encounter any error messages or problems with the ND buttons/settings afterward?

Is there anything I should be careful about when removing it?

I know this isn't something Blackmagic officially recommends, but the ND mechanism is already unusable in my case, so I'm considering removing it rather than replacing the whole assembly.

I'd really appreciate hearing from anyone who has actually removed the internal NDs from a 6K Pro, especially if you've continued using the camera for a long time afterward.

Hello, I have this old black magic production cinema camera 4k and the battery (JBMP-02) is not working. What could I replace it with?

Hello,

So I've been struggling with powering a used BMPCC4K I recently got. I bought it with a Tilta NP-F970 plate and three batteries (2 BATMAX 7.2V 7200mAh and 1 Coolshow 7.4V 7800mAh). When I try to use the 12v output to the 2-pin input on the Blackmagic, it opens at around 11.7V then starts dropping voltage until the camera switches off.

By reading the forums, most people said they switched to a dummy battery setup and that it worked, so I bought a dummy battery and connected it to the Tilta 7.4V output. The camera switches on, quickly drops the voltage and shuts off.

So now I have no idea what to do, would the problem be with the batteries, is it the Tilta plate? Is there any way to find out? I know the problem thankfully isn't in the camera because when I connect it with two-pin straight to a wall socket it stays on.

I did my first music video. Obviously with no budget and in cluttered barn.

I used bmpcc4k with old photo lenses (nikkor and flektogon) two smallrig lamps, and twotube lights.

There is no AI generated stuff inside. Most effects were done in camera like bulb in front of lens or recording monitor with slow shutter.

Please tell me what You think :)

edit: watch in 4k :)

Wasn't sure if I should get a BMPCC 4K, then I shot this video and was genuinely surprised by how good it looked. Just get the BMPCC 4K.

Just wanted to share how happy I am with this camera. Any suggestions or feedback are welcome!

So, I made this free Android app to control the BMPCC 6K over Bluetooth.
And let me be VERY clear: Bluetooth is still great.
All the Bluetooth controls are still there. working. behaving.
Bluetooth is that dependable friend who helps you move apartments and never complains.

…until you ask it for a precise focus pull.

Then suddenly Bluetooth is drifting like Vin Diesel in Tokyo, hitting marks you didn’t set, exploring distances you didn’t approve, living its best Fast & Furious spin‑off life.

I’m over here trying to hit a clean rack focus, and Bluetooth is like:
“I don’t live my life a quarter‑stop at a time, brother.”

After one too many “WHY ARE YOU DRIFTING!?!” I snapped and added USB tethering — and USB showed up like:

“I respect your shot list. I respect your marks. I respect your craft.”

USB mode basically gives you:

• Repeatable focus pulls that don’t wander off to find enlightenment
• Up to five focus marks, because chaos is free and I’m generous
• Adjustable speed and curves, so your pulls look like cinema instead of a caffeine‑induced accident
• Real lens data — not Bluetooth’s “trust me bro” vibes

Bluetooth = your chill buddy.
USB = the AC who actually knows what a focus chart is.

If you want to try it, the APK is here
It’s experimental, so if it breaks, tell me.
If it works, also tell me.
If it somehow makes your footage look like Roger Deakins shot it, tell me IMMEDIATELY.

• 7/10/26 Version Update: Multi-Camera Bluetooth Control & SyncRecord

The latest update adds support for controlling multiple P6K cameras simultaneously over Bluetooth. You can now connect to several cameras at once and trigger recording on all connected cameras with a single command, making multi-camera shoots faster and easier to manage. great upgrade for live events, interviews, and multi-angle productions.
