Have officially booked the camera. Hope you guys have too. I'm trying to start a dedicated thread just for lenses you'd be pairing the Blackmagic Pocket 4k with (please include video samples of the lens in action)
I'm strongly considering the Tokina AT-X Pro 28-70mm f/2.6-2.8 AF (making it 40-100mm with the Viltrox EF-M2 0.71X). The breathing seems minimal and the image filmic, a good candidate for short films.
 
Next is probably the Sigma 18-35mm 1.8. (25.5-50mm with the 0.71x adapter). This should have me covered for a lot of future commercial work, where sharpness might be paramount.
 
 
 

Based on your level of knowledge, just go with a used Canon 70D and a kit lens. (If you want it compact, Canon M5.)

Lenses to go with the BMPCC4k needs a new thread. This is something I'd follow.

You got me wrong. I didn't say the lenses were soft. Or 'crap'. One of my favorite lenses for my A6500 is the Sony 18-105. Mostly for practical reasons. But you can't for the love of god focus manually, because there are no 'positions', and if you try to rehearse a focus transition, the focus ring will just slip under your fingers. Even infinity is infinitely pushed away from you. That's what I meant with "completely useless there" (= on a 4k Pocket). And your son's clip proves little, because it's done with such a narrow aperture, it's almost fixed focus.
Also, of the category I was referring to I only know Pan 14-40 kit lens, Oly 9-18 and Oly 12. There may be better lenses. On the official Pocket site BM shows the camera mostly with the Oly 12-40 f2.8, and according to this review, the manual focus is very useable:
 
 
 
You might take a look at the Viltrox speedbooster, which seems to have a manual aperture control for the EF lenses (video timed):
 

Viltrox EF-m2 0.71x 
Tokina 28-70mm f/2.6
Possibly Sigma 18-35 1.8.

Apparently Ronin-s works well with the BMPCC4K.
 
 

The Crane 2 is 1300 g, the follow focus above 170 g, the remote for the latter weighs 200 g.  
But: keep in mind that because you HAVE to see the image and the Zhiyun's roll motor perfectly blocks the Pocket's display, you'd then need an external monitor (but then again, with smallest battery, the smallHD Focus would add just 230 g, which would make the setup 1900 g sans camera). 
Now the final weight of the BMPCC 4k ist not yet out afaik. Because the pre-production model was made of aluminum and that will be changed to carbon fibre. So the frame itself can be 30-40 % lighter. Let's be optimistic and hope that camera, battery (80 g) and card (20g) are just under 850 g.
Now we talk about 2750 g without lens. Add your lens of choice, but don't forget IR cut filter and ND or variND.
But don't worry. Saw a tut by Brandon Washington on balancing the Canon 1DX Mark ii on the Crane 2 - needs unscrewing parts of the Zhiyun's cradle because this camera is too high. Must be even heavier. And Brandon puts on the same big Tiffen variND I'd also recommend. He carries that on a skateboard, dolly-filming his little son. 
 

Would love to pair the BMPCC4K with this.

The camera has the best ergonomics ever made in this planet and I own (-ed) cameras from the Pentax Spotmatic, Canon AE-1 and I am still using for pro work most of the cameras in the market (in the last 10 days I had to work with the Canon C100/5Diii/A7sII/GH5) and I am still do not think of letting go my 4 NX cameras, I am crazy, or just happy using this equipment?
At the time (2015), Samsung had a very good collection of lenses, with only a few gaps, and a lack of very tele lenses which some do not use anyway. Only Fuji had more lenses, and even Fuji lacked some of the Samsung ones, the problem wasn't the lack of lenses for most people, the problem is that they stopped producing more, while they had 300mm, 2.8f ready for production, and some other lenses in the final stage of R&D, sadly it didn't happen, but I am happy to own 7-8 NX lenses, that cover everything I do, from 10mm fisheye, which no one else does natively - not even Fuji, to 200mm. That is all I need, honestly, and have taken me so far. 
 Is smaller and lighter than the GH5 and the new Fuji H1. In my opinion, just perfect for an APS-C PRO body, the best ever made. I am wondering if you consider the Sony boxes as pretty, because they are flat out ugly, but not ergonomic at the same time. It took them 3 generations to reach the level they are in today, which still is behind what Samsung did in 2014 with their first generation.
We care, we own, we use, we saved money using the same system since 2014-2015 while other have changed 1-2-3 systems since then.
@webrunner5 sorry, but your opinion means nothing, like all the rest that never bought to the system and make words out of nothing. If you have never used one, how can you judge? 
also, the camera is from 2014 dude, so why it is weird to compare it with a camera of that age? also, that camera cost more than double the price and is a full frame one, so it should be superior in everything, but not only isn't vastly superior, it looses in most usability, modern features and video specs.
A 2014 camera came into this era, and still been competitive of better than even the modern ones, with a few gems of lenses, and a sidekick (NX500) that you can even use as a B cam, or every day "pocket" cam (with one of the excellent, tiny pancakes, and ultra sharp pancakes) like the 30mm/2f) and that's that.
Another fact. I did a photo shooting to some friend'ss events, professional photo/videographers, the one owns Sony, and the other GH5, both of them and their families loved what I gave them out of the camera. Color Science is something we do not talk much when we talk about NX, and you know what? because we do not have to, unlike some other brands that still can't fight the yellows or the greens.

Sir, you are, to put it mildly, talking out of your ass. I'd shot Canon for years before jumping to the NX1 as my main photography camera (commercial, portraits - studio and outdoors), and it's not even fair competition to the Canon (ever tried lifting the shadows off black hair on a Canon?). The NX1 has an insane dynamic range, and I find it does comparably well next to a Nikon or Sony. And I say this as someone who still uses the NX1, and has done photo shoots side by side with a Sony A7R2 and a Nikon D850.

Firstly this review was with the old firmware and Samsung addressed most of the issues with the later firmware. 
The credibility of Cinema5D is probably less than Mata Hari the double agent. And their ability to take criticism is worse than Uwe Boll. 
The sheer number of rude comments on this very post of Cinema5D highlights the very problem with brazenly biased reviews. They wrote a scathing initial review of the GH5 too calling the Vlog a joke or unusable or something on those lines. I believe Panasonic threatened to sue, so they took down their article to re-write It, removing all the vitriolic rubbish that had made itself to the initial review.
This kind of shamelessly biased writing dismisses any hope of credibility.
 
That's more than a lot of full frames of that time (including the 5D Mark ii and iii).

Speaking of Fan Art.....

I can Dig it...

BMPCC4KRAW rolls off the tongue. 

Did you read BMCuser after the C200 was announced... I think there may have been some laces dangling from their mouths. 

Well, that's still ten years away. But color science and price are factors.

Exactly. This camera could be priced at $2000 and it'd STILL be a steal.
