Review: Blackmagic Pocket Cinema 6K

The new Super35 6K Pocket Cinema Camera from Blackmagic was delivered into a few lucky people’s hands last week, and my friends at Stray Angel Films were one of them. They gave me a week with it, shooting some stuff for my artist friend Chase Lock surrounding his new gallery at Olympia Club in Santa Monica, and I’ve put together a sort of review/overview for your edutainment. I haven’t used the Pocket 4K before, so these are wholly “first impressions” with minimal comparison as the cameras are functionally identical anyway. There’s a shared user manual you can check out here, and you can read the full article written for ProVideo Coalition here.
