Description

The Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K is designed for filmmakers who want professional cinema results without a heavy or complex setup. It delivers impressive image quality in a compact and lightweight body, making it ideal for narrative work, branded content, documentaries and commercial shoots. Although the form factor is small, the camera offers capabilities normally found in larger cinema systems.

Stunning 6K Super 35 Image Quality

At the core of the Pocket 6K is a Super 35 sensor capable of recording detailed 6K footage. Because of this, images retain clarity even when cropping or stabilising in post-production. The camera also offers up to 13 stops of dynamic range, which helps preserve highlight and shadow detail in high-contrast scenes. As a result, your footage looks cinematic, controlled and visually clean.

Additionally, the Gen 5 colour science boosts natural skin tones and creates rich colour separation. This ensures your picture retains a polished and filmic finish straight out of the camera.

Flexible Lens Mount Options

The Pocket 6K is available with either a Canon EF mount or PL mount, giving you flexibility based on your existing gear or production style. Because these mounts support a wide catalogue of lenses, you can pair the camera with everything from affordable photo lenses to high-end cinema glass. Furthermore, compatible lenses allow for electronic iris control, autofocus and even zoom adjustments.

Professional Recording Formats and Storage

To suit different workflows, the Pocket Cinema Camera 6K records in both Blackmagic RAW and Apple ProRes. You can record directly to CFast 2.0, SD UHS-II cards, or an external SSD via USB-C. Consequently, you can choose media based on budget, speed and delivery needs.

The built-in timecode generator makes the camera suitable for multi-camera productions, ensuring smooth sync in post.

Designed for Real-World Production

The Pocket 6K includes thoughtful features to support professional crews. It has a bright 5-inch tilting touchscreen, making monitoring and menu navigation simple, even outdoors. Moreover, the camera contains built-in ND filters, saving time when lighting conditions change.

Dual mini-XLR inputs with phantom power allow high-quality audio recording directly to camera. You can power the body with NP-F570 batteries, an optional battery grip or external power when shooting all day.

The Ideal Tool for Modern Filmmaking

In summary, the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K blends portability with high-end capability.
