Many years ago I visited this intentional community in rural Alaska. I traveled light, armed only with the OG Blackmagic Cinema Camera, a couple vintage lenses and a janky travel tripod. I half-knew what I was doing. It's interesting to see what my instincts were back then, so many mistakes, so many chances to get a better shot. But I'm also trying to give younger me some grace; to remember that at one time it was exciting to "just shoot."

I recently dug out this footage and am recutting it into a short doc. Will post here if there's any interest in seeing the final edit.

Mini Extreme ISO vs MacBook Pro

When I run my 2023 MacBook Pro through my Mini Extreme ISO (HDMI, gen 2), it blacks out every 5 seconds or so. Is there a setting in the switcher or my Mac that will remedy this? Or is there a device I need to insert like a scan converter? Thanks!

Understandably this is a BM forum but I’m looking for some opinions.

I’m torn between getting the Pocket 4K and the LUMIX G9ii.

I’m leaning toward the 4K primarily to start simple get the studio license and also the false colour natively.

*As long as it's for personal use or fully open source. Corporations aren't allowed to use my project in proprietary products.

The project's fully open source, you can find it here: https://github.com/KipJM/blackmacro-lib It's designed to be adapted into the firmware of whatever macropad you're using.

Disclaimers:

  1. Incase you didn't know, the speed editor / panels are the only accessories allowed to interface with Davinci Resolve. All other macropad/dials have to emulate keyboard&mouse which is missing a bunch of features. I mean blackmagic have the right to do whatever they want, but I don't feel it's fair as someone who paid for a studio license to not be able to use the hardware I prefer, whether that's a third party macropad, a DIY editor panel, or special accessibility hardware.

  2. I did not decompile or reverse engineer any blackmagic software, everything in the project comes from analyzing public stuff found on the Internet.

  3. There's currently no Bluetooth support, so no iOS support yet.

How To Make Your Pyxis12k Water and Weather resistant to an extent. #pyxis12k #waterproofcameragear

Sometimes Weather Can be Unpredictable and I wanted something of a safety net for my pyxis12k So I looked for a material that wasn't only water proof and dust proof but also maintains and allows Airflow which was my top priority and I found it 😎. If anyone has ideas to make this better or want the link to the material i'll put it in the comments below or in the video. With any type of alteration or Idea remember there's always Risk to anything so becareful.

Transfer video from PYXIS 6k over ethernet to PC while capturing photos?

Anyone know if it's possible to shoot a video on the Pyxis 6k, transfer it to a PC over ethernet (via smb), and while it's transferring, to begin a timelapse image sequence? Or can it not simultaneously shoot and transfer?

I'm trying to see if I can use this camera to do a long, unattended hybrid timelapse/video shoot. The PC will trigger a video to be captured over the remote control API, and once the video is done a timelapse image sequence will start, and vice versa. A script on the PC will manage it all.

I just don't want to have a gap in time between the end of the video sequence and the beginning of the timelapse while the file transfer happens.

Thank you!

suggestions for IR Cut filters for BMPCC 4K

I bought a used Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K and, as I suspected, the IR cut filter was quite corroded.

I didn't think it would be so bad that it would show spots even at f/3, but it is, so I'm looking for a suitable filter replacement.

Rawlite is definitely out of my range, so the options I found are Kolari, STC, and Tangsinuo.

The good thing about Tangsinuo is that it is cheap BUT you have to remove the filter from the original ring and glue the Tangsinuo one with the ring (probably with silicone, even if they say it is not recommended, or phone glue).

Kolari is around 160 euros in my country, STC 140 euros instead.

Can you help me telling me which filter did you bought, if everything went well when you installed it, and if you noticed any differences?

Thank you, guys :)

Fast question: Always record in open gate and crop afterwards?

Is this the go to way for best image quality? I noticed when recording in 6k aspect ratio 2.4:1 ‘crop’ that the quality was not something i liked… would recording in open gate make this better?

The reason for recording with 2.4:1 is the readout speed

Pyxis handle arrived - One year later…. Should I keep it?

I ordered this handle over a year ago and it finally arrived. I already bought the Portkeys Key Grip wooden handle with Bluetooth control, so I don’t really need this and can easily return as it’s still sealed.

My only thought is that perhaps this Pyxis handle can make a stripped down 12K look more consumer-ish, in case I need to steal a shot sometime.

Any thoughts about this handle before i open it? I realize it’s not a huge investment.

I am strongly considering investing in the Pyxis 12k and do not have any cine lenses at all, however I do have some professional photography lenses (Canon EF 35 f1.4, 85 f1.2). They do not have an external aperture ring, so will the Pyxis be able to adjust the aperture via the UI? I am intending to get the EF mount.

My other ways of getting glass would be to invest in vintage glass (the iconic Helios 44-2 and others) fitted with adapters and FF gears. What is the consensus on those lenses? I know people love them due to cost and imperfections, but in reality is the sharpness and contrast doing the camera justice or is there a lot of post leg work to go into it? Also how do we feel about the anamorphic mods?

Hey friends,

I'm trying to update my Blackmagic pocket 6k Pro but when I go into Blackmagic camera setup it doesn't prompt me to do the update.
If I click on the little calendar button nothing happens.

Any help would be amazing!

Thanks

Recorded an extra braw file internally

BRAW File locations

BRAW Files on timeline

hey guys, bit of context, 3 hour recording almost 2 hours 33 min almost on the dot it seems to have duplicated an extra file, syncing it up its the last 30 minutes or so, both files are braw, however the smaller one has proxy and the biggest one doesnt, even though it has its own

Proxys on timeline

from context clues it seems to have duplicated the raw footage (somehow?) whilst splitting the proxy file, cant find anything online to have the same issue, now its not a problem, but i find it strange. camera didnt stop recording the entire time

maybe internally there was a hiccup with alongside recording proxy files? being a maxed file size (big proxy size that was split is 8.87gb) no reason for it to be an issue just wondering if anyone has a concrete idea of what caused it! it may have happened to me before on another pocket 6k however unsure if so

recorded on Pyxis 6k Firmware 10.1 (second latest as of 08 05 26)

Shot my first narrative short entirely on the OG. Crazy how much character this camera still has in 2026. Would love to hear what other shooters think.
