The Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera 4K is a compact digital cinema camera engineered to deliver high-end cinematic imaging in a portable, carbon fiber composite body. Built around a 4/3″ HDR image sensor with 13 stops of dynamic range and dual native ISO up to 25,600, the BMPCC 4K excels in challenging lighting conditions while capturing rich, low-noise footage at resolutions up to DCI 4K (4096 x 2160). It supports advanced recording formats including Blackmagic RAW and Apple ProRes across internal CFast 2.0 and SD UHS-II card slots, as well as direct-to-drive recording via its USB-C expansion port.

Outfitted with an active Micro Four Thirds (MFT) lens mount, the camera accommodates lightweight native glass or adapts easily to PL, C, EF, and cinema lenses. The BMPCC 4K features high-frame-rate recording up to 75 fps in DCI 4K, 80 fps in 2.8K 4:3 anamorphic mode, and up to 120 fps in 2.6K Super16 or cropped Full HD. The rear panel is dominated by a bright 5-inch touchscreen LCD running Blackmagic OS for intuitive menu navigation, 3D LUT monitoring, and framing, complemented by a mini-XLR input with phantom power, full-size HDMI output, and Bluetooth remote connectivity.

This camera body includes one LP-E6 type rechargeable battery. Please note: An AC power supply, cable, and battery charger are not included.
