Featuring a larger 6144 x 3456 Super 35 sensor and EF lens mount, the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K lets you use larger EF photographic lenses to create cinematic images with shallower depth of field, allowing creative defocussed backgrounds and gorgeous bokeh effects! Extra resolution also gives you more room for reframing in editing and color correction. This means that you can shoot in 6K and then in post production zoom and re frame to allow wide shots and close ups to be created, all from a single camera and without losing image quality!

Supports 3G/HD/SD 1920x1080 panel resolution, features 1x 3G/HD/SD-SDI, 2x HDMI inputs; 1x 3G/HD/SD-SDI, 1x HDMI loop through, SDI/HDMI cross conversion, and sports column (YRGB peak), time code, waveform, vector scope & audio level meter, peaking, zoom, pix to pix, underscan, check field, tally light, and other features.

More than 55 of the 2018 fall television and streaming series rely on Blackmagic Design’s digital film cameras, DaVinci Resolve Studio and Fusion Studio, as well as switchers, routers, monitors and more.

Whether you’re spending a few weeks away at Camp Know Where or working at the Starcourt Mall, nothing makes summer better than a Stranger Things tutorial from Seth Worley. In this short, fun video, Seth shows you how to recreate the iconic Mind Flayer shot from the end of Stranger Things season 2. So get your shoulder pads on, pause your VCR (you can always come back to watching Alex P. Keaton travel through time later), and get ready to learn a ton.

Caldwell Photographic Inc. and Metabones are pleased to announce a new series of Speed Booster for Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera 4K (BMPCC4K).

The BMPCC4K Speed Booster ULTRA 0.71x and XL 0.64x are similar to the standard m43 Speed Booster adapters, but the optics have been re-designed to optimize for the filter stack thickness of the Blackmagic cameras, which is substantially thinner than that of standard m43 cameras.

The thickness of the camera’s filter stack is an important component of the overall optical design, and the re-designed optics ensure that both versions can achieve the same high performance as the Speed Booster versions for standard m43. This is especially critical at the extremely large apertures made possible by Speed Booster technology.

In addition to the new optical designs, the new series of Speed Boosters also features a longer tripod mount to perfectly match the height of the BMPCC4K camera body. This way the camera and the Speed Booster can be mounted firmly on the same quick release plate.

Both versions – the Speed Booster ULTRA 0.71x and XL 0.64x – are available with Nikon G lens mount, with Canon EF lens mount and with Canon EF CINE lens mount. The ARRI PL lens mount is available in ULTRA 0.71x version only. The Canon EF CINE lens mount creates a positive lock for a secure electronic connection, and together with the matching length of new the tripod mount, allows for a rock-solid mechanical setup, which is important when using follow focus attachments.

This new series of Metabones Speed Booster adapters is designed exclusively for Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera 4K (BMPCC4K). They cannot be attached to any other m43 cameras such as JVC, Olympus or Panasonic cameras.
