How to Update the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K

Blackmagic just released a new update to the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K that adds Blackmagic RAW support (which I want to try out and I’m sure some of you that have the camera do, as well). Thing is, it isn’t as easy as a phone and just tapping update on the camera and viola you’re done. You need to get a computer involved. Well, since I was updating my BMPCC4K anyway, figured I’d do a quick tutorial for anyone who was looking to update their Pocket Cinema Camera 4K, as well. Let’s head to Blackmagic’s support site to find […]

Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K Complete Walkthrough: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know

I’ve been waiting for this camera for about 4 years. That’s not an exaggeration either. I’m a big fan of Blackmagic and their cameras ever since the original Cinema Camera back in 2012 at NAB and caused quite a stir with its 2.5K resolution, 13 stops of Dynamic Range, ability to record to RAW, Apple ProRes, and had a ton of professional cinema camera ports, etc. for only $3000. And that sort of set the tone for Blackmagic Cameras going forward, of which there are now over a dozen models of–crazy image quality and movie-level production capabilities for a fraction

If you’re not familiar with Blackmagic Design, you should be. Who is Blackmagic Design? I started using their Blackmagic Ursa Mini 4.6K (long name, even larger camera) when it came out in March of 2016 and was in love with it. Even to the point where I was bringing this giant camera with me to trade shows to use it to film all of my footage

How to Install LUTs on the Blackmagic Ursa Mini

I recently did a post on how to update the Blackmagic Ursa Mini to the new Blackmagic Camera 4.0 update and one of the big reasons (besides the plethora of other ones) to update for me was to be able to preview LUTs in the camera finally (think of how a RED Camera can do this). After I installed the update, I immediately took two of my favorite LUTs and tried to figure out how to transfer them to the camera.

How to Update the Firmware on the Blackmagic Ursa Mini

While checking out the Blackmagic Design site recently, I noticed the screen grabs of the Ursa Mini 4K and Ursa Mini 4.6K had changed –drastically. Instead of what I saw on my own Ursa Mini 4.6K, they had shots showing LUTs being previewed on the camera, controls that were over the image instead of a separate menu, and just an entirely new UI, if we’re honest. A lot of my biggest contentions with the camera were being shown solved in their new promo images, what the hell? Turns out, Blackmagic Design had issued a huge update for the Ursa Mini and I
