Clickbait title - for a very specific use case

Just purchase a MKE 😂😂😂

yes, at 3:14, like a lens for, or a Hasselblad 500/205Fcc/203CW body, flash equipment, like broncolor, profoto and others.

for indoor budget pencil SDC; Nt5, sE7 or even Behringer B5

I have a Sony ECM 673 mic, is it suitable for indoor audio taking purposes

Budget option - Audio Technica 2021 $89

Nice job

I guess all those experienced working professionals at the top of their game have been doing it wrong for years. Wow.

you should read correctly the link to comb filtering effect, like this part : Here are situations where you will commonly encounter comb filtering. Using two mics at different distances from the same source. Note: If the distance between the mics is large, then the dips will be small enough to be unnoticeable. Having a hard surface near a microphone. The reflections off the hard surface can cause an audible delay perceived as comb filtering, similar to the way that light reflects off a mirror. Having a hard surface reflecting a speaker sound. If you have a hard surface that is creating a dual path (speaker to ear plus speaker to surface to ear), then it can create comb filtering in your monitoring. Using two speakers projecting into the same space. In live settings, using multiple cabinets whose coverage overlap can create comb filtering in that overlap.

Nice video. What features specifically made you upgrade from the mix pre to the 888?

Brilliant - fantastic advice - thank you.

I have a question: how do you display an image on the Alexa? And if it's not a problem for the Alexa, why is it a problem for this camera?

regret it too.

Your title is wrong! It should be "Don't use shotgun mics for ...". There are a lot of setups (e.g. outdoor) where a shotgun mic is perfect. So, please, be fair!

It's a funny thing how people were yapping for ages demanding a box camera from Blackmagic and saying how the Komodo is great, yadda, yadda. Then, when the box camera is released, they don't understand its purpose. I understand and agree that the battery life and the fixed monitor on the first BMPCCs are indeed caveats, problems - among many others. But it's not the case here. It's actually what the community was asking for. I have never seen anywhere people asking for "a BM box camera with a great flippable monitor that makes it not a fully riggable box camera". Again, I also don't see anyone complaining about the Komodo not having a monitor.

The specs are not the same as the as the 6K Pro, but the 6K FF. As for the display being where you preview the shot... I think you're widely missing the point here. This camera is a box camera to people who want to rig it. It's not the idea. It IS for people who is use a monitor or a EVF. Plus, 99% of professionals already have a monitor. The purpose of this monitr is not the cinematographer. Honestly, this doesn't make sense, this simply was not the idea.

With all the respect, shotguns in filming are great choice but you have to really operate the boom, not just stay there daydreaming with somehow raised hands. If you can't afford real boom operator, go for Sanken cos-11 under clothes. But pencils... maybe for press conferences in controlled environment where everything would work including PZM.

Hahah. 3 grand. It’s a cart. Just need a sturdy cheap cart. No wonder Hollywood movies are so expensive.

Why bother getting a box camera if you're not ready to rig it? If people can't afford additional rig cost for box camera, maybe just get a normal form factor. Left side control is pretty good for shoulder rig except for left-handed folks, you're out of luck. What bothers me is lack of internal ND for its size. It's deal breaker.

The Pyxis wasn't made for entry level run-n-gun users. The Pyxis is designed for sticks and shoulder work like a RED or an ARRI. If people want a flip-out screen and HDMI, they should buy a handycam. Even if the 4" screen flipped-out, I wouldn't use it. I'll be using the EVF and the 7" external. There's no need for built-in NDs, as most cinematographers already have screw-on NDs or a Matte Box with NDs. NiSi ATHENA PRIMEs even have a drop-in ND blade option. Built-in NDs would be too limiting or not used. The people complaining about the side screen and no built-in NDs are just painting themselves as handycam hobbyists not cinematographers making films.

Yeah, let's spend 600 dollar on a pencil mic, shall we?

thx for the upload, love me a good audio bag walk-through. :-) Would you say it's strictly necessary to have a true audio bag like this when doing corporate interviews and similar?

Shotgun microphones are a type of small diaphragm condenser microphone. This is literally the worst video ever about microphones haha LITERALLY 🌈

Buy an URSA then, whats the whining for 😂😂😂😂

Say the same thing to RED and ARRI

I'm 100% with you on this. That hateful camera crippling that made Canon hated by many ppl back in the days (C70 aside, really great little camera with actually little caviats). My list of wishes for a future Pro model are the same as most of ppl let down by this first version (and I guess for a reason): - Tiltable screen - Faster sensor without that huge crop at only 50p - Double XLR - HDMI out (maybe this could have a walk around tho using the viewfinder port in the future) - More codecs codec codec! It's insane to think that you have to shoot everything and solely in Braw. Despite how great it can be is not the solution for every situation. And please don't tell me that this camera can't have other recording options because is though for filmmakers shooting indie movie or music videos.. That sounds like saying, my car has only last two gears because it's thought to be used on highways.

I disagree. This video, like a few others, presumes that the purpose od the display is as a display, but given the interface it is an interface display that ALSO has preview ability. Lets face it if the display had only been for operating the Blackmagic OS UI that is praised be almost everyone as one ofthe best UI's around then people would have griped that it doesn't include a display for this price, and that would have been the negative argument. So instead they offed preview, because they can, and still people miss that this is the OS interface screen and NOT meant to be the primary display. The issue that I will agree with is that the ONLY two first party screen options are either the new $1695 viewfinder, which jacks the price up significantly, or the Video Assists at a much more reasonable $325-$795; however don't have camera control capability. Thus one is stuck with a third party SDI Portkeys monitor with camera control for $499 to $899. Now if one wants to go ultra budget Viltrox offers a relatively low resolution SDI monitor that would be compatible for only $160; however it would be really nice if Blackmagic made a USB or even SDI compatible High Bright screen without all the additional Video assist features, but that offered camera control for say under $300, but with that said the idea that this UI screen was a mistake in my opinion is a massive over reaction. This camera is an insane value for the style of camera it is, and for that target audience. The fact one CAN view the video on the side, to me, is just a bonus.

The issues with this class of cameras from BMD are 1) 13 steps dynamic range is too narrow 2) rolling shutter to much visible when swiping 3) low light noise. I'd happily pay a grand more to have better full frame sensor or a S35 global shutter in a boxy form factor. Until then I won't invest in the BMD ecosystem.

Black magic cameras always have problems something. batteries, screens etc… they need a good engineering.

Thank you, exactly my thoughts when I saw the monitor fixed on the side! This reminds me of the BMPCC4k and BMPCC6k when first release and had to deal that battery not being enough for such a great camera.

So... It's a camera for narrative films, not run 'n' gun nor documentary. Kinda what BMD has been doing though.

I think Blackmagic lowers the price of the monitor assist for one reason: they will introduce the g2 version which has camera controls from the USB-C port in Ursa Cine and Pyxis 6K.

Perfect solution for mere mortals

you know what, Blackmagic doesnt care any of your complaint, like or hate it, BMD will still earn sales from other beloved customers. it is not their lost if you dont buy it. dont think that you know better than them.

The fixed display is a massive oversight along with many other bad design decisions. Totally agree with you

because the is a cinema camera, just like any red or arri camera ; and when you have such a camera, you obviously use monitor(s)

Always be sure of what you are saying. The Blackmagic Pyxis monitor is not fixed, please go and find out more. I'm advising you to remove this video from your collection. its so redisclose

serious click-bait, bro just get an external monitor... it really isn't a problem, ya'll just anal

OF ALL THE THINGS TO TALK ABOUT, ITS THE DISPLAY THAT BOTHERS YOU??...

Don‘t really understand why you focussing so much on a non movable display. What would be much more important are build in ND filters as you can find them in the 6K Pro.

I don’t think people understand that the design is terrible. That you need to understand that you can’t really do much with the rigging. Yes, you can buy a monitor problem solved!! However, The display side is in the way and you can’t really do much but leave it open and that screen is a touch screen meaning you having the chances of accidental touch on the menu that can ruin your perfect shot. Honestly it’s a fair criticism and black magic needs to address. It doesn’t cost a lot to have a flip screen when the URSA have it and so many different type of cameras have a flip screen. Honestly it think a flip screen is cheap to add onto a feature add in another 5$ for a movable hinge just to have that flip screen feature. Like wtf? Make some sense and have usable features. It’s a massive miss. You can’t change the mount which it look like you can. Screen is in the way. It’s not good enough to be upgraded from a pocket 6k full frame or Pro with built in ND filter. Or from other new users that wants to upgrade to a cinema camera. It’s not good enough to be a new upgrade. It’s good for new users who wants a cine camera box. But you’re better off with different options available like AKA FX30, FX3, LUMIX S5 IIX with BRAW, pocket camera 6k G2/Pro/Full Frame, GH6, Z-Cam, LUMIX BS1H/BGH1, and more options I can think out of my head that I think it’s comparable and maybe even better design than Pyxis. I like the new direction that Black Magic is going but they need to address these design flaws. Buying more stuff isn’t problem solver when you can’t solve a problem that can’t be fixed.

The definition of a cinema camera has nothing to do with the image quality. It’s the integration into a workflow. The placement is perfect for the use as a cine cam. It’s build around small crews. The placement with the Komodo for example is quite annoying. Since most rigging is done primarily on top and button. Car mounts, crane etc. it’s always easier to have it on the side if your cam is fully Mounted. The top is usually only good for minimalist setups. But for this type of shoot the raw body of the pocket is better shaped. A box shape is all about flexibility. I am able to change the mount on a sub 3K$ camera. That’s the most selling feature for me. SDI, Timecode out. Amazing. Of course this cam will be used by influencers, same with the red Komodo but that’s not the marked it was designed for. The pocket was able to attract a higher market than intended. That market is now targeted with This camera.

Most box cameras don’t have a monitor at all. I don’t see this being a problem. Especially coming from a BGH1 shooter

Wow, this is why i say listening to customers is useless..instead of whining why didnt you come up with a suggestion in the video?? Please tell us where would black magic place a 5inch monitor on a box camera??. The display BM put is a + feature that no one asked for. if you think the box style is aimed at run n gun folks then im honestly questioning your expertise. The BBCC6K FF is there btw

Usually when i film on sticks im always on the left side of the camera with an external monitor on that side plus a wireless system. But most of the time.... im never head on with the camera. I have better control. Some how someone will find a setup for the pyxis. I wouldnt get that just yet. Im still saving up for an ursa g2

Will you replace your Mac when the screen broken? or buy a new one? 😅

I think they are saving the flip out for an updated ursa mini.

This video is an L

i'm not trying to attack your questioning but don't all box camera have to have a external display? cause i honestly can not think of one that doesn't
