JordanWright Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Best bet with all issues you have is to just call / email BMD. Going through my 2nd RMA with them and they are very helpful. First was for a bad battery door, this one is for the power port becoming faulty. They troubleshoot with you if you call them up and if they can't find a fix they'll ask you to send in your camera and sort it out.

Kisaha Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 I decided to bite the bullet and order the Ronin S this week. It seems like the most straight forward option for mounting a P4K, comes from a brand with a good reputation, can be bought localy - right now (ease some of my 2018 tax) and for only 549euros. I have my finger on the BUY NOW button, shall I proceed?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webrunner5 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Go for it. That way you don't have to worry about what cage you have, or not having to use some really light lens. Other than well size and weight it is a no brainier I think for the money they cost now. Might as well have the best for really the same money or close to it than less featured products. And you can use it for a full sized DSLR if you want to, or even a C100 stripped down. None of them are stealth, or weigh next to nothing..

This Youtube channel has a bunch of videos using the sigmas (18-35 + 50-100) + SB on the P4K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boukmanmutt Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 hi guys, how are you all? I'm getting crazy watching videos since a month, comparing cameras, prices, rigs...really getting crazy. I sold my camera and some lenses to buy the Pocket cinema camera 4k, but now I'm really not decided. I used to work shooting anything they asked me to make some money, i am a dslr guy with 10 years experience now. I want to go on and have a good, raw 4 k camera and i thought the BMPPC 4k would be perfect, but most of the videos i see on internet scare me. I want to start a movie project with some actors, and this camera doesn't look cinematic at all. In really few cases it gave me the cinematic feeling. I'm on ebay and i see some Ursa mini 4K are selling at around 1300 euros. Also, there are many Blackmagic Production Camera 4k at less than 1000. I'm really confused, I'd love the ursa mini for the ergonomics but i can't go above that price, the Production camera is an ergonomic nightmare and i hate the fact you cannot use it handheld, but is cheaper. If you could choose between a Ursa Mini 4k, BMPCC 4k (both at around 1300-1400 euros) and BMPC 4k (at 800) for my kind of project, considering the money you have to spend to add cards, ssds, etc, what would you buy?

Kisaha Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 "Pocket Cinema Camera 4K shipping update Mon Oct 29, 2018 11:17 pm Hi, Here’s a quick Pocket Cinema Camera 4K shipment update. We noticed that some resellers have been telling customers that there are no shipments of cameras from us until the end of the year, or even until early next year. That is incorrect as cameras are still being shipped out very regularly to our distributors. We are also building cameras as fast as our component suppliers can keep up, and have already shipped many thousands of cameras worldwide. However, we have also received a lot of orders in the meantime so we are doing everything we can to fulfill these orders as soon as we can." Thousands of cameras already in late October. This thing is a huge success already. webrunner5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think he can achieve the same images with the P4k, just not the same workflow with what he usually does with his micro This has been said over and over but is not true. None of the BMP4K images come close. They're not even in the same realm in my opinion. webrunner5, mercer and majoraxis 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can also download the Resolve studio software from BM website, by using the same code to unlock and register. If reselling camera and Resolve studio, you can simply deactivate the activation inside Resolve and pass over to a new owner to re-activate.

This is what the UM4Ki image should have been like . Personally, I like it. This image ticks both boxes, Doc look, Film look and its more versatile webrunner5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're filming in ProRes, any software will do the job, but in my limited experience with RAW, you need Resolve to playback and grade. I'm not sure if 12.5 will be compatible with the RAW files out the new camera, but there are plenty around you could download and test out for yourself Yes, they (RAW files) can be imported and edited (and graded) in the Resolve 12.5, I confirm.

Anaconda_ Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Anyone heard anything about Braw? I eber reading they were hoping to get it out before the end of the year - but not sure if it was an official comment or some random making things up. With Xmas in a week, I imagine it's either before the weekend or after the new year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
