- How much does it cost to build a cinema camera rig with the bmpcc 6k pro? How much can you earn off of this camera?
I break down my camera rig, costs and how it's worked out as an investment so far.
Apologies for the inconsistent audio, I'm still sorting out the best way to mic different set ups in our studio!

I've been searching for the avg setup for the BMPCC you have explained it really well covering the costs !!!
Glad you found it useful! It can definitely be hard finding a full cost breakdown
This camera is fantastic, as well as the 4K and the 6K V1. These cameras are almost future-proof based on the internal raw and image quality. Great video!
Totally Agree! We use the 6k Pro and the 4k as a B-Cam and have no complaints with either
Awesome film! I like that you gave the prices! Hi from downtown Montreal!
Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it 🙌
Thanks for this video
Great video. Liked and subbed. Keep em coming!
Cheers - Will do!
I don't know if your 17 or 23 jobs per year are 1 day shoots or more but if they are more then you are probably undercharging for your gear. I can't speak for Canada but here in the UK, it would be a per day charge for gear. You also don't mention and I am again not familiar with your system but it is worth also taking into account, with gear, tax write off, which here would be at least 25% of total cost. It's also perhaps worth considering, next time, since I calculate $5480 at £3390, that it's not very much more to buy the Ursa Broadcast G2, with the very same sensor and charge more. You have rigged the Pocket to be almost as big and the UBG2 comes with full should mount kit, V-Lock plate and EF mount + the B4 mount, all included, and I paid less than that sterling figure for it here. I realise the Pocket could be more versatile de-rigged but your video seems to suggest this rigged config is what you mostly use anyway. With the amount of work and return you seem to get you even keep the Pocket - since the 2 would be a good pair. You will increase your gear fees too. Anyway best of luck.
Most of my shoots are single day shoots (or else I do charge gear by the day, or a weekly rate). But fair point, same with including the tax benefits. Although I think if the gear purchase is only worthwhile if you include the tax advantages you may run into some cashflow issues down the line as capital expenses (here at least) are spread over several years.
nice breakdown!
Thanks!
Although it lacks a lot of “pro” features, it’s worth it to own one. TILTA cage is a great cage for the setup, most other accessories can be migrated to other cameras.
Definitely, it's a great intro camera for the cinema world. A lot of the parts will be useful on other cinema cameras and it has amazing quality for the price
@@shanebahmann thinkn more it’s a “I can’t even afford a RED right now” type camera. I’d be more happy with an SDI output, atleast UltraHD out the HDMI, indiglo buttons on the back…those three alone HUGE difference, and the little two prong power receiver is weak, I bent a pin in less than two weeks owning the camera with the Vmount accessory on tour. But it’s a sik camera and a must have if you’re DP, totally worth the purchase 100%
What is attaching the battery to the rails? I see you linked the batteries, but I don't see the piece of metal that the batteries are encased in, and put on the rails...? Also it looks like you have 1 "Shape Full Play Battery", and then 4 of the Neewer batteries. May I ask why? Will I be okay just buying the Neewer batteries?
Should be good with the Neewer batteries, both work fine! Here's the link for the battery plate, amzn.to/3zkw9K3
@@shanebahmann Thanks!
1:11 what band do you have on the right side of the cage?

@@shanebahmann thanks man!
how long are those carbon fiber rods
I think I’ve got the 12” ones! It has lots of space for the v mount and a follow focus if you want one
5500 for all?
Plus taxes yea, the only things I think I didn’t include were the cables and hand strap. Obviously it depends on how many hard drives and batteries you want to get as well.
I’d also recommend getting a legit tripod that can easily support the weight of everything
Canadian people are always screwed on prices bc I spent less than half of that to rig it out. Minus the mic
Haha story of my life bro
@@shanebahmann all my friends from Calgary and Vancouver say the same thing haha
ughh ... the exchange rate is different ... when he's saying $5000, he's talking about CANADIAN dollars.
Wait are you only charging $250/job, or is that just the rental fee?
I charge $250/job for just the camera rental. So for example, if I charge $5,000 for the whole project, $250 of that is a 'rental fee' for equipment and the remainder would be time, editing, pre-production, etc.
@@shanebahmann I see. Sorry for the confusion.
My bmpc6kpro made 0$ 🤣
