CVP just posted a nice mini docu piece on some British knifemakers shot on the BMPCC4K:

Well I think all cameras have factors that make handheld more or less possible even if we know the specs. Ergonomics, rolling shutter, etc. Just hoped one of the guys who got their hands on it mentioned it or have some insight thats all. Maybe John Brawley.

I'm trawling thought this thread and reviews. So far can't see how the camera preforms handheld with no stabilisation. Whats the general opinion. Could it be a Doc Camera handheld barebones?

The camera isn't shipping yet to the best of my knowledge. I doubt anybody has done that - but as IronFilm said, it should work about the same as any other camera. Since it's fairly light, I'd be inclined to put it on a rig for "handheld" use.

It works exactly the same as any other camera of similar weight/size with no IBIS.

But to start with, here’s a safe bet for a long cable, and here’s an adapter (these are oddly very hard to find). Read your specs carefully!

@Firworks: "Read your specs carefully", oh the irony!! :

@zsound That """guide""" suggests people buy two completely incorrect audio cables for the pocket. Both of his suggestions are female mini-xlr. You need male mini-xlr for the pocket. The connector on the camera is female. BMD themselves sell a set of two appropriate cables for their Video Assist recorders.

DJI Ronin S, lees, 12mm Olympus and 12-35 Lumix. 1000, 1250 and 3200 Iso.

I hope that 12800 will be useable on the Pocket 4k when BRAW is implemented. Seems possible if the same additional usable stops of ISO are realized just like with the USRA Mini Pro BRAW update.

BMPCC4K lowlight is looking promising

That First Light piece looks pretty damn nice. I would like to see some more "lit" shots with people. I'm pre-pro on a doc and want this to be my cam, but the GH5s is still working for me.

Nothing is free in capitalism, especially this :-)

As I said, it is huge question on how it happened that suddenly Apple and BM made formats that previously you could not make due to Red patents. I more or less clearly see that Apple did to gain it. But we can only wonder that BM agreed to.

Howdy, Stranger!
