The Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K delivers full cinema-quality performance in a compact and lightweight body. Because of its portability, it’s ideal for filmmakers, content creators and commercial video teams who need professional results without heavy gear. Despite its small form factor, it provides high-end image quality and an advanced workflow suitable for film, broadcast and online delivery.
Exceptional Image Quality
The camera features a Micro Four Thirds sensor capable of recording 4096 × 2160 DCI 4K at up to 60 fps. This resolution produces detailed, sharp and cinematic images suitable for various production environments. Additionally, it records 120 fps in HD, allowing smooth slow-motion shots for creative storytelling.
The Pocket 4K also includes dual native ISO up to 25,600, which significantly improves low-light performance. As a result, scenes captured in challenging lighting still appear clean and usable. With 13 stops of dynamic range, the camera protects highlight and shadow detail, offering a more filmic and HDR-friendly look.
Flexible Lens Compatibility
Because the camera uses a Micro Four Thirds mount, it is compatible with a broad selection of lenses—from affordable primes to high-end cinema lenses. Furthermore, with available adapters, you can use PL, Canon EF and other mount types. Therefore, the camera adapts easily to different shooting styles, whether handheld documentary work or controlled studio setups.
Professional Recording Formats and Media Options
The Pocket Cinema Camera 4K records in Blackmagic RAW and Apple ProRes, giving users the flexibility to match their workflow and post-production needs. Additionally, you can record to SD cards, CFast 2.0, or directly to an external SSD via USB-C. As a result, you can handle longer takes or high-bitrate codecs with ease.
Advanced Audio and Connectivity
The camera includes a mini XLR input with 48V phantom power, making it compatible with professional microphones. In addition, the built-in stereo microphones offer clean reference audio, which is useful for fast setups and on-location shoots. There’s also a 3.5mm input for additional microphone options. Because of these features, users can record high-quality audio directly into the camera.
Smart Interface and Workflow Efficiency
The included Blackmagic OS offers a touchscreen-driven interface that feels responsive and intuitive. Moreover, features like 3D LUT support, HDR HDMI output, Bluetooth remote control and metadata entry streamline both capture and post-production. Therefore, filmmakers can work faster and maintain a consistent workflow across Blackmagic cameras.
