ThereвЂ™s a huge, rubber-clad grip for your right hand and a large nub for your right thumb to rest against, so itвЂ™s not hard to get a good firm grip on the camera. It doesnвЂ™t flip fully forward like the screens in many video-centric mirrorless and compact cameras, so successfully filming yourself while holding the camera is still a matter of guesswork (unless you invest in an external monitor), but itвЂ™s a welcome start. ItвЂ™s something Blackmagic users have long been clamoring for, as it makes filming with the camera above or below your eyeline much easier.

ThereвЂ™s a built-in dual microphone and a 5-inch Full HD HDR display for composing and reviewing your shots (itвЂ™s a touchscreen too, so youвЂ™ll be using it to adjust settings most of the time), plus space for a Sony NP-F570 battery providing enough power for about an hour of recording.ДЄt long last in a Pocket Cinema Camera, the screen can be tilted (up to 90-degrees upwards or about 45-degrees downwards). Lens and memory card aside, this camera has everything you need to start filming 6K footage squeezed inside its frame. ThatвЂ™s especially impressive considering how self-contained it is.

At 1.238kg without a lens or accessories attached itвЂ™s fairly heavy too, but (and this is the key point) itвЂ™s still smaller, lighter and more portable than the vast majority of professional cinema cameras. It has a chunky, angular and wide body thatвЂ™s larger than most DSLRs (and both the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K and 6K). Design and handlingДonвЂ™t be fooled by the name: the Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro wonвЂ™t be fitting in any of your pockets (unless you exclusively wear harem pants, perhaps).

There are two new 6K Pro-exclusive accessories launching alongside the camera: the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera Pro EVF (costs $495 / ВЈ425 / AU$789) and Blackmagic Pocket Camera Battery Grip ($145 / ВЈ132 / $219). That camera, as well as BlackmagicвЂ™s Pocket Cinema Camera 4K, will remain on sale as current products, rather than being replaced by the 6K Pro. That seems like a reasonable price, given that it costs practically the same as the 'standard' Pocket Cinema Camera 6K did at the time of its release in 2019.
