A few weeks ago, in an unexpected windfall, I acquired a very lightly use Blackmagic Micro Cinema Camera via Ebay. I’d been angling for a Pocket Cinema but was very hesitant because of known battery life issues along with manufacturing defects that seemed to crop up.
I decided to go with the BMMCC for the 60p RAW capabilities, and it’s modular form factor. I am a tinkerer and optimizing my gear is always super fun for me, albeit very expensive. G.A.S is real [Gear Acquisition Syndrome].
I am absolutely loving this camera. The transition from a Canon t5i dslr to a proper cinema camera is a leap in kind rather than degree. It’s so dope to go out and shoot and have the tools and hardware to create beautiful images in most conditions.
Shooting RAW in low light situations and bring up the exposure in post is kind of a revelation.
Here are some new test shots.
Looking forward to rigging this camera out for run-gun type shooting. So I found the below setup, but need to figure out how to best position my cheapo 7″ monitor.
