The price is around £500 higher than the original 6K pocket camera, but we can be clear upfront that yes, if you’re interested in this sort of camera, it is worth paying that extra money. The bigger and more interesting question is whether the 6K Pro is the sort of camera you need for what you do? It’s an unconventional beast something that approaches stills ergonomics from the direction of cinematography, as opposed to approaching cinematography from the direction of stills like transitional, video-capable stills cameras do. The BMPCC 6K Pro is big enough to make that sort of accidental laundry incident unlikely, although it's compact enough to avoid standing out in a crowd. It’s also not nearly as small as the earliest incarnations of the range, which you really could slide into a reasonably capacious pocket and lamentably overlook until the washing machine starts making a loud clanking sound during the spin cycle.

For today’s purposes, we’ll call it the BMPCC 6K Pro, but while we can shrink the name we can’t shrink the camera, which is, while fairly compact, not nearly as pocket-sized as that name suggests. The Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro has a thirteen-syllable title. The screen protectors ensure that the display on the back of the 6K Pro is protected from scratches and dust.The BMPCC 6K Pro is Blackmagic Design's latest iteration of the Pocket Cinema Camera series. The HDMI/USB clamp mounts onto the side of the cage to protect your cables. A sun hood is included to quickly mount onto the camera to prevent glare from the integrated camera display.Ī slot on the bottom fits an optional Samsung T5 SSD in the included clamp to conveniently connect your recording media.

The NATO top handle mounts onto the mini NATO rail, and the contoured wooden handgrip mounts onto the NATO rail on the side of the cage. The modular cage can be fitted to the camera as a full or half cage, and it provides a variety of mounting options on top, sides, and bottom. This kit includes a formfitting full camera cage, a wood-lined NATO top handle, a wooden side handgrip, a mini NATO rail, a sun hood, a clamp for a Samsung T5 SSD with integrated USB cable clamp, an HDMI/USB cable clamp, and a screen protector 2-pack for the 6K Pro. Mount accessories and protect your Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro with this Professional Accessory Kit from SmallRig.
