In an exciting announcement, Blackmagic Design has reduced the price of its popular Pocket Cinema Camera 4K to just $995. This move brings professional-grade filmmaking tools within reach of a broader audience, offering high-end features at an unprecedented value.
Designed to deliver Hollywood-quality digital film images, the Pocket Cinema Camera 4K boasts a 4/3 image sensor with 4096 x 2160 resolution and a Micro Four Thirds (MFT) lens mount. With 13 stops of dynamic range and dual native ISO up to 25,600, the camera captures stunning visuals in any lighting condition.
Its carbon fiber polycarbonate composite body ensures durability and portability, while the multifunction handgrip puts essential controls like ISO, shutter speed, and white balance at the user’s fingertips. The 5-inch LCD touchscreen provides on-screen overlays such as histograms, focus peaking, and frame guides, enabling precise shot composition.
For those in live production, the Pocket Cinema Camera 4K pairs seamlessly with the Blackmagic ATEM Mini switcher, offering features like live tally and remote camera control via HDMI. This versatility makes it a valuable tool for both filmmakers and broadcasters.
Grant Petty, CEO of Blackmagic Design, explained the rationale behind the price reduction: “The Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K has been incredibly popular as both a digital film camera and a studio camera when paired with ATEM Mini. With its wide dynamic range, DaVinci Resolve color science, and built-in color corrector, it’s an all-in-one solution for live production and filmmaking. By refining our manufacturing processes, we’ve reduced production costs and can now pass those savings on to our customers.”
The camera records 4K video at up to 60 fps and windowed HD at 120 fps, offering smooth slow-motion capabilities. Advanced color science from Blackmagic Generation 5 ensures accurate skin tones and vibrant colors, while 3D LUTs can be applied in real time for both monitoring and recording.
Powered by the Blackmagic OS, the camera provides an intuitive interface with tap-and-swipe gestures for easy access to advanced features like metadata entry, HDR, and Blackmagic RAW settings. Additionally, every Pocket Cinema Camera 4K includes a license for DaVinci Resolve Studio, the industry-leading post-production software.
Available immediately from Blackmagic Design resellers worldwide, the Pocket Cinema Camera 4K’s new price of $995 excludes local duties and taxes. This announcement solidifies Blackmagic Design’s commitment to empowering creators with professional tools that are both accessible and versatile. Whether for film production, live broadcasting, or studio work, this camera delivers an exceptional balance of quality and affordability.
