Thanks for the tutorial, this one of the best tutorials for the bmpcc6k on youtube. It was cool if you were able to tell about how to correctly set up a white balance as well.
Do you planning to make a tutorial for bmpcc6k pro as well? Yeah i know the menu is the same, but there are some updates in resolution page and more, maybe it will be useful for others as well.
Great review, very cool, very helpful, very professional. Just picked up the camera for a job and this is just what I needed. Keep them coming, hope your channel keeps growing! :)
Just arrived today - best setting for 6k camera - streaming indoor low light and also doing video demos indoor low light as main camera but other cameras are canon 750d and sony cx 900 so looking for tips on good stable camera settings .. thx ,, great video by the way
11:35 So if you're shooting 4K in ProRes, you don't necessarily need to crop. On the second page on the Record tab, the "Sensor Area" option allows you to choose between 6K, 5.7K, etc. so long as you have ProRes 4KDCI/UHD/HD selected. The camera will record at the resolution you have selected in the Sensor Area option and then downsample to 4K. Because you can specify using the entire sensor, there is no crop when shooting 4K ProRes. Now if only Resolve friggin' supported ProRes RAW...
Super helpful overview of this camera. I picked up the camera a couple months ago but still learning it. Going to bookmark this to reference. Thanks Gear Focus!
A lot of good info but a couple things are incorrect and I think it is important to clear it up for everyone. 1. You can shoot in 1080 HD and UHD (3840x2160) using the full 6k sensor readout (I use it all the time) 2. Your definition of phantom power is incorrect. Phantom power sends power from your device over the XLR line so you don’t need batteries to power your microphone. But overall great video 👍🏼 thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the comment Jacob! We plan on updating this video in the near future to correct some of the things in the video. We've used this camera ton more so we've learned some things since then. As far as the phantom power thing goes, it is not a battery replacement method as you describe above. Phantom power is a +48V electrical current that runs across the diaphragm of a microphone, in turn making it more sensitive. We tried to simplify the definition for this video since this was about the camera and was already long enough. If it's something that people would like to see, Matt and I can use our combined 15 years of recording studio experience to give some tips and tricks for filmmaking. is this something that you and others would like to see?
Thanks for the video. This is easiest to understand tutorial I have seen on this camera. I have seen just about every review of this camera since it was announced. This one was by far the best I have seen. You have a new subscriber.
Small suggestion for future videos: When reviewing associated apps it would be helpful if you would show what the app looks like for downloading. There's so many that look legit but often aren't. Anyway, just a suggestion. Great video otherwise, thank you.
I just bought this camera and awaiting the rest of the gear to arrive. I have numerous projects to and will be buying a second 6k soon so I can film faster. Your video was very informative for me personally; especially since I have never used this camera and am learning it. Please do more, specialized tutorials about the individual functions for this camera and even gear for it. GREAT JOB. *I had no idea there was an app until I saw this video. Thx
Can you do an updated tutorial for the BMPCC 6K Pro? Also it would be nice if, instead of just talking us through the menus, you could explain some of the finer points. For example, on Setup page 2, how do you assign the settings to the three function buttons, etc.? Very nice work otherwise and I look forward to a 6K Pro tutorial soon.
Thx, you helped me to better understand the camera. I had DSLR camera before and here is more new options to learn about. But I have to google about shutter angle and false color. I bought camera because I want to work as video colorist and want to shoot my own videos besides of work projects.
Thank you, great tutorial, really appreciate it. I would love to see tutorial videos using this camera in action. Basically a tutorial showing work flow and setup. One thing, it seems the video does not include information about the SSD drive being used with it. Thank you, excellent content
First thanks for the tutorial, very in depth. However there is one thing, Phantom Power is not an “enhancement” as I perceived you to convey by applying electricity across the capsule of a microphone. It is actually a power source for condenser microphones that +48v of power to operate. Dynamic mics do not require phantom power. In the context of in set sound some shotgun mics remove the need for phantom power by having a battery, and some use phantom power.
Yes you are correct in that statement. Since audio is a relatively complex science, I chose not to go in depth with phantom power and explaining the difference between dynamic and condenser microphones. If an audio explanation is something that is wanted here on the channel, we would be happy to use our resources to better educate everyone on audio. Both Matt and Dan have backgrounds in music and audio production so this could be accomplished rather quickly.
Great video, Dan! I'm wondering, will you be creating a follow up video on your preferred settings with the camera? It's been a few months so maybe you have more insights?
Just to add some clarification to your comment about 48V phantom power, it's to power condenser microphones, and some active ribbon mics, it's not necessary for dynamic mics. You also have to be careful not to phantom power some non-active ribbon mics as you will damage them.
You definitely don't want to add phantom power to a non-active ribbon mic. That will lead to a bad time. I don't see most video people using ribbon mics though. Most don't have an audio background like us ;) Thanks for watching John!
@@GearFocus My point is phantom power is to provide power to condenser microphones which most video folks end up using - without phantom power they just won't work.
My studio just got this camera, am very grateful for this it's really helpful, and I wanted to know if the pro res shooting format works well with Adobe like the Black magic raw, cus adobe is my main editing software
Is it possible to mirror the view finder on the BMPCC 4K or 6K to my phone using the app or some other third party app? I'm considering getting a monitor but if I could just use my phone instead that would be even more convenient (and cheaper).
still not sure why they have a sensor size choice. who would pay for a 6k camera and crop the image so much just so they could use a fraction of the sensor? I mean, thats like buying a BMW just so that you can use it to store things in the glove compartment. Same with the "selfie button"". who the hell is going to take a selfie with this thing? I do love the imagery on this though. man, first time I filmed something and graded it I almost fell out of my chair. Sadly I forgot my MacBook is an HDR monitor and most people wont see this gorgeousness on their TV. but still, rec709 looks WAY better than any other camera ive ever owned. great review, thanks much.
Great Review.. I am from Africa, Nigeria precisely.i will love to know the best range of lenses to be used on my BMPCC6K bsically for Outdoor shoots..Thanks a lot
@@Talktogray For the last 6 or so months I've been using the Canon 24-105 F4. I use that on both my BMPCC6K as well as my EOS R. It really does a great job and its a fantastic all around lens.

Nevermind i found it !! i had to change the Sensor Area in the Record menu. From 6K to 5.7K. I just need the 1080p for a stream
Or you can do 6K@60fps in 2.4:1
