In 2014, Blackmagic Design introduced the original pocket cinema camera to the prosumer videographer market. Aiming to compete against companies like Sony, Canon, Nikon, and Panasonic, they provided all of the features of a high-end professional cinema camera for 90% less than the cost of a typical professional cinema camera.
The original pocket cinema camera can be purchased for just under $500. However, finding one of these cameras can be a potential challenge due to the discontinuation of this product in late 2015. There are unofficial rumors about how Blackmagic Design decided to discontinue the camera to avoid a potential lawsuit. They may have been unaware when releasing the camera containing the Codec Apple ProRes HQ that the patent was already owned by another popular cinema camera manufacturer, RED.
So if you find yourself in the research phase, attempting to learn as much as you can about this camera so that you may make a well-informed and educated purchasing decision, stick around and watch through the end of this video to find out what I'd do if i found one of these for sale. By the end of this video, you will know if this camera is right for you to invest in.

Great list. I have 3 extra tips:
I find if you need slow motion, you can use the 30p raw option with 90 degree shutter or faster and use resolve’s optical flow. Because of the high bitrate you mostly get footage without strange warpy artifacts. You do need a fast laptop tough.
Second tip is to buy slimraw plugin to offload your footage. This way your cinema dng footage can be just as small an flexible as Braw.
And last tip is to use the small sennheiser mke 200 mic. It has a really small profile with integrated shock mound and windjammer. And turns your scratch audio from 1920 telephone to ‘just’ usable.
Great tips!
Thanks for sharing!!!!
Can you use optical flow in premiere or AE and achieve the same thing?
Thanks Cody!! Beautiful footage you shot. I still have my OG, here! 👍🏾Best Wishes
Thank you! That is awesome. Man, I wish they would pop out an updated version of this camera.
@@CodyScott Very Welcome. I feel you, I'd love to see a new one. I saw a vid where a Blackmagic employee explained why the company basically won't make another one. 😅 Oh well. Cheers, buddy
Would be nice if BMD were to reissue this little 1080p Pocket Camera upgrading the screen, ports, sd card compatibility, (battery?)
while doing their best to keep it as close to the same form factor as the original.
I’ve reached out to them in hopes of an update. They won’t upgrade the camera.
This camera has so much potential, it’s so close to perfect for minimalist filmmakers. I’m right there with you. Wish they improved this a tiny bit.
@@CodyScott A little too perfect. Would probably steal sales from its 4k, 6k siblings
Some errors in the first few minutes already.
RED does not own a patent to Apple ProRes HQ. They have a patent on lossy "raw" video compression in camera. The cDNG in the original pocket is lossslessly compressed.
it does not have a micro four thirds sensor, you probably mean mount. The sensor considerable smaller. And Fuji does not have a micro four thirds sensors and mount. They have either APC-S or 44x33mm (medium format). it might be the case that some APS-C camera record video from a windowed sensor, which equals the MFT or dS16 size of other cameras.
"High bitrate of depth" is confusing bitrate and bit depth.
Thank you!
He is right. But that happens. Good Video. I'm still using my original BMCC 2.5k and love it
@@robocoontv3245 That is so good to hear!!!! Thank you so much. I hope all is well.
@@robocoontv3245 😄😄❤️
I know right? It’s like he didn’t even know the very basics of the camera itself. “CZcams filmmakers” repeat a lot of what they hear on other videos I’ve noticed, and everyone is an expert yet they get the most important part of this camera - the “Fairchild super 16” sensor wrong. Literally the reason people buy this thing. Find a better channel mate 🫡
Nice breakdown. The way this camera works is amazing. I like that is a pocket size camera and easy to carry.
Same here brother!
no body is talking about how beautiful your lut on the camera looks, the picture pops so good, please what lens did you use, did you grade in resolve?
Awww thank you!!!
This means so much. I used the Leica 28mm lens. It’s pretty crisp but doesn’t resolve the image properly. Just from my observation.
You should come join us, Videography Business Mastery. Come say hey.
@@CodyScott you are welcome, the footage came out really good, sure I would love to join you guys.
Enjoy your BMPCC OG videos. BTW, it’s a Super 16 format sensor, using a MFT lens mount. I use vintage 16mm legacy glass on mine. Interestingly, it’s a dual-gain Fairchild sensor.
Thank thank!!
question i've been searching everywhere for a cage to assist my bmpcc OG, is the redrock the only option? seems the other cages have since then been discontinued
Hey Patrick, I hope all is well. Here is how you will find a cage.
1.) Join a Facebook for the BMPCC
2.) Express your interest in the cage
3.) Someone will sell you a cage
4.) Someone from UK will send you links
You are correct. They are discontinued. The only place you will find them is if you find somebody who already has one. And brother there are a lot of people with cages for this camera waiting to sell their used gear :)
This is how I found just about everything for my setup.
Did this help?
Hey bro! Doing research on the BMPCC OG. Trying to find one for myself...any tips?? Thanks a lot!
Hey there! Absolutely. Google search a camera shop near you. The chances are they have several in stock. That way you can buy them in person and yet it out before you walk out the door. That’s what I did. There is a shop in Raleigh NC that has a dozen. I picked the best one. However, mine stopped focusing so it’s useless now. I wish they made these again…
The sensor is considerably smaller than a Micro Four Thirds Sensor, and a lot closer to a Super 16mm - although slightly smaller. Just a note. You kept repeating that it’s an MFT sensor.
Thank you so much for the correction! I value your input. This will be helpful for many!
Am looking at one for €500 with a month of warranty. So I can use it fully, for a month, and see if something was actually kaput while I bought it.
BUT, I'm out of money and I want to go into movie making. and I kinda buy either: something like the bmpcc that I like, Or buy a camera which can earn me money, thus a modern hybrid is probably better in that case.
Sounds like a good option
This thing costs almost the same as bmpcc 4k on eBay now. So I got the 4k instead.
Nice!!
You need a speed booster for this camera to really come to life.
That could help a lot. You’re right. I think it would defeat the purpose of being minimal. Speed booster is not much weight however. I think you’re on to something!
Do you find a need to use an IR cut filter with this camera?
With the pro 6K no I do not find a need for it because it is part of the camera internally.
With the original yes, it would be helpful to have an IR filter. However it is not needed. Blacks are cleaner when kept at 800 iso or lower
imho it's mostly a problem with cheap ND filters that don't filter IR well enough. Now does it make sense to use an ND filter set potentially costing more than this camera? probably not 🤪
7:03 shit i got destroyed lmao but actually this convinced me more to get the camera, I’ve been watching tons of videos about it and I think I can do it, it’s just cheap enough for me to buy and I want to put the effort on learning to color grade, plan a good shot and do good sound design
=) Thank you so much! This is a great camera. Hard to find a good one. Mine stopped working a couple weeks ago. I wish they would reinvent this camera. Anyway, I have a free color grading course when you download my app, also free. Cheers!
But ProRes is on all their cameras isn't it? Also Apple has the patent for ProRez HQ.
It is indeed. You’re correct. As I speculate in the video twice, it’s a rumor. I cannot confirm it’s truth. And it doesn’t make sense to me. Just a rumor.
This camera doesn't offer compressed RAW (afaik) but we know RED has a patent on that for compressed RAW on camera. That's at least the reason why most manufacturers don't have compressed RAW in their current models and why ProRes RAW is not used by any camera manufacturer. (those that support compressed RAW only do it with an external recorder) DJI almost released their latest camera with ProRes RAW and Apple announced it too but then it was cancelled. URSA and URSA Mini 4K had compressed cDNG but according to some rumors BMD almost got sued for those and the products didn't receive any further updates. BRAW is an (apparently successful) effort to do things differently and avoid the patent.
oh wasn't it so that bmpcc 4K had cDNG but it was completely replaced with BRAW in an update
@@hbp_ now that makes more sense!!😄😄
@@hbp_ thanks for sharing this!
Where can I buy this camera?
You will have to buy it online from eBay, Facebook marketplace or a local camera shop.
Or from me :)
Shoting prores on this camera is like attaching a trailer on your car but keep all your suff on the roof of the car :D you lose 90% capabilities of the camera!
I don't see the connection of your anecdote. Thank you for sharing though!! I respect your words.
My favourite sensor out of all the cameras I have. I own 2 but I wouldn't recommend the BMPCC. It's so poorly built, it just feels like it will break into pieces. The batteries on both of mine no longer work so you have to rig out the camera. The rear screen is so poor it's very hard to see if you have nailed focus when outdoors and you can forget about recording audio on this thing. Also on one of them the HDMI mini port is broken and is rattling around somewhere in the camera body. The fact that I have to rig out the camera, carry a Sony battery and can barely see what I'm recording due to the poor screen has seen me take out the camera less and less.
Well said!
BMMCC for the win baby!
so this camera is just a cult following and got zero production value or chance to function over time?
1st Again. 🙏😊
Boom! Nice =)
Bro, the layout of this video was amazing 😬 I loved it! 😁 Intriguing and engaging! Hats off to you my Man!
@@ALLBOUTTHUGLIFE Hey brother thank you so much for providing that feedback to me. I can use the information you shared to structure videos in a better format
Bless You and Yours, Brother. I in fact thank you! For not being judgmental bout my Name on here. I'm a highly educated individual that is just a fun and funny guy. You've never judged me unlike many jus because of my YT name. I been meaning to tell you this for a while now. You and your community have been so helpful and see you have some great ppl. This is your year and many more to come. I guarantee you that! Again, You're one of my favorites! And congrats on your journey to hit that zillion! 🙏
the vids suggest you aren't exaggerating and did manage to get that sweet 6 figure.
but your follower count suggest you do not.
whu? what's happening here?
you're good at video but absolutely stink at marketing? what happened?
I don’t understand your question. If you have a valid question please rephrase it.
Wow, quick. you have proper video skills, but I was surprised that you don't have more subs and views. I just impulsively jotted that down. there is a discrepancy between the quality of your vid and the youtube algorithm putting it in front of viewers - which it's not really doing much.. I guess I'm curious as to why. why youtube? you scoundrel! @@CodyScott
@@user-vk8xm4vv1v thank you so much for clarification.
I’m not really pursuing CZcams for numbers or a full time job. It’s a place to share my work and inspire my students.
It does generate plenty of income right now even with as few as 7,000 subs.
Everyday I get dozens of messages from people all over the world about how my videos have helped themZ
So, regardless of subscriber count, I’m make good money and more importantly impacting the lives of thousands every month.
I really appreciate your contribution to this video and your concern.
