Find ResellerDesigned using a space age carbon fiber polycarbonate composite, the body of the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera is extremely strong and light. The carbon composite material consists of a high strength polymer that’s reinforced with carbon fibers. This makes the camera body incredibly light giving it the strength and rigidity to protect it from bangs, drops and accidental breakage. That means you’ll be able to take it virtually anywhere and have the confidence to know that you’ll be able to get your shots, even under the most harsh shooting conditions!
Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera is designed to feel familiar and comfortable with logically placed external controls that give you quick access to essential functions.

Plus the 6K Pro features a super bright 1500nit screen, so you can clearly see your shot even in bright sunlight. Double tap the LCD to zoom in, turn on focus peaking, focus assist and more! Use the touchscreen to access the Blackmagic OS , which lets you control all of the camera’s advanced functions with simple tap and swipe gestures. You can even add metadata using the built in digital slate!
Keeping the image sensor and internal components cool is incredibly important because it directly affects image quality. Cooler sensors can run at higher frame rates and capture cleaner images with less noise than a hot sensor. That’s why Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera is designed with a patented two-way thermal management system that features liquid cooling. A series of heatsink vent grills draws the heat away from the FPGA processor and image sensor. As the heat is drawn away from critical components, the liquid flows to cooling fins that are designed and specifically angled to minimize intrusion of dust or other contaminants.
Designed from the ground up with professional audio in mind Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera models feature 4 built in, shock resistant microphones with extremely low noise for capturing high fidelity audio with incredible clarity. The cameras also feature a mini XLR input with 48 volts of phantom power for connecting professional boom and lapel microphones. You can also use the 3.5mm input to connect standard video camera microphones. Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera gives you professional quality audio recording and built in microphones, along with the ability to use your own external microphones so you’ll never have to carry an external sound recorder with you again!
USB‑C is now standard on everything from computers to cell phones. It’s very fast, provides both power and data, and has an extremely small connector. Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera includes a USB‑C Expansion Port so you can connect peripherals such as flash or SSD drives for longer recording times. Once recording is complete, you can simply unplug the disk and connect it to your editing workstation. The USB‑C connection also handles power, so you can use a standard computer power supply or power pack to charge the internal battery!
