Blackmagic Pocket 6K Pro + SIGMA 50-100mm f1.8 Art

Blackmagic Pocket 6k Pro + SIGMA 50-100mm

Features of Blackmagic  Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro

To surpass its previous achievement with the Pocket Cinema Camera 6K, Blackmagic Design adds an even more complete compact Super35 camera to its cinematic style lineup with the Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro. The 6K Pro features all the recording, sensor, dynamic range, buttons and ports features like its predecessor, and adds a variety of important new features, such as a 5" tiltable HDR capacitive touchscreen LCD display with 1500 cd/m² brightness, an optional Pro EVF, integrated clear/2/4/6-stop ND filters, dual mini-XLR inputs, an accurate timecode clock, an NP-F570 L-series battery slot, and updated Gen 5 color technology.

With only a slightly larger form factor than the 6L, the 6K Pro records the same video resolutions of up to 50fps 6144 x 3456, and retains CANON's valuable active EF mount, allowing users to take advantage of the wide range of EF/EF-S-mount lenses available. The EF mount supports iris, autofocus and zoom functions via electronic communication when using compatible lenses.

The 6K Pro can turn a frame into two by cropping a second shot of a frame, scaling to 8K, or simply capturing rich, detailed footage with your favorite EF/EF-S mount lens. Updated Gen 5 internal color processing makes it easy to collate 6K Pro, 6K, and BMPCC 4K footage. Record using the CFast 2.0 and SD/UHS-II internal card slots or through the full-size HDMI port to an optional ATEM Mini switch for live streaming, or output via the USB Type-C port to capture longer clips to an external SSD. The 6K Pro includes a DaVinci Resolve Studio license and supports capturing Blackmagic raw from the sensor. Using the Raw format with sensor metadata simplifies editing to fit any project and makes editing with DaVinci Resolve easier.

The compact 6K Pro retains the familiar controls and menu design of the 6K model, such as up to 25,600 ISO support, 13 stops of dynamic range, and 1920 x 1080 HDR monitor output. Professional audio support now includes two mini XLR inputs with +48V phantom power, a 3.5mm stereo input, a mono speaker, a headphone jack, and an integrated stereo microphone system.

Additional professional features include lens metadata support, 3D LUT application for monitoring and recording, still image capture up to 21.2MP, and a multi-function grip that allows one-handed operation. Sync multiple cameras for a concert, event, or other multi-camera shots by connecting an external timecode generator to the 6K Pro internal timecode generator (accessed via the 3.5mm audio port). Then, save valuable time by using Resolve to automatically sync your multi-camera shots in the post.

In addition to the DaVinci Resolve Studio activation key, the 6K Pro comes with a 30W power supply that offers simultaneous battery charging, an MP-F570 battery, a lens port cap, and a camera strap. Optional accessories designed specifically for the 6K Pro include the BMPCC Pro EVF and BMPCC Pro Battery Grip, available separately.

Features of the SIGMA 50-100mm f1.8 Art lens

Combining a useful range of telephoto focal lengths with an especially fast design, this SIGMA 50-100mm f/1.8 DC HSM with EF mount from CANON is an Art series zoom that combines impressive versatility with advanced optics. The bright constant maximum aperture of f/1.8 delivers consistent low-light performance throughout the zoom range and also allows greater control over focus placement for shallow depth-of-field and selective focusing applications. The optical design incorporates a number of low-dispersion, high-refractive index elements, which help achieve high clarity and sharpness by suppressing various aberrations, color stripes, and distortion. A super multilayer coating has also been applied that controls lens flare and ghosting to improve contrast and color accuracy. Balancing the optical merits, this 50-100mm also features an advanced Hyper Sonic engine, along with an internal focus and zoom design, to promote fast, quiet and accurate autofocus performance. In addition, a tripod collar is integrated into the lens design for greater stability when working on a tripod or monopod.

• Part of the Art line within SIGMA's Global Vision series, this lens is designed to achieve truly remarkable optical performance and is ideal for both creative and artistic applications.
• The telephoto zoom is designed for APS-C format EF-mount CANON cameras and provides an equivalent focal length range of 80-160mm.
• The impressively fast constant maximum aperture of f/1.8 benefits working in difficult lighting conditions throughout the zoom range and also offers greater control over focusing when working with selective focus techniques.
• Three F Low Dispersion (FLD) elements and four Special Low Dispersion (SLD) elements significantly reduce chromatic aberrations and color stripes throughout the zoom range. In addition, a high-dispersion, high-refractive index glass element controls spherical aberrations for greater clarity and sharpness.
• A super-multilayer coating has been applied to the lens elements to minimize lens flare and ghosting and contribute to producing contrast-rich, neutral-color images, even in backlit conditions.
• The integrated HSM (hypersonic motor), along with an internal focusing system, performs fast and quiet autofocus, which is further complemented by an AF algorithm optimized to produce smoother focusing performance. The HSM also allows full-time manual focus control by simply turning the focus ring at any time.
• Internal zoom and focus designs limit the overall length of the lens during operation for more intuitive and controlled operation as well as faster performance.
• The rounded nine-blade diaphragm is constructed of durable fluorine-coated polycarbonate and also features a carbon feather film for uniform performance when working with fast continuous firing speeds.
• Constructed with a thermally stable composite material (TSC) for greater precision and use in wide temperature variations. In addition, a brass bayonet improves the precision and rigidity of the mount.
• The fixed and rotating tripod collar offers greater stability when working from a tripod and integrates 90° click stops to intuitively switch between horizontal and vertical shooting orientations.
• This lens is compatible with the optional USB SIGMA cradle to fine-tune the different features of the lens and update its firmware.
