![]() You cannot record to two kinds of media at the same time (a shame!), though it would be a great option to use SSDs and a UHS/U3 SD card as backup/proxy. You can even record uncompressed CDNG if your computer can’t handle compressed RAW.CFast 2.0 cards are just more reliable overall as well.Two good reasons that justify the extra cost: You can see how it’s better to go CFast 2.0 or SSD, and avoid SD cards altogether. Going by past experience with Blackmagic cameras and shooting RAW in this price range in general, a 3:1 compression ratio is good. You can get slightly cheaper options if you want to go that route. I’ve stuck to Sandisk Extreme Pro versions just to keep the numbers consistent. ![]() You need a way to reliably affix the SSD to the camera or a cage to ensure there’s no movement. One way to do it is to get a 1/4″ adapter for mobile phones, like this one.Īssuming you are recording to either CinemaDNG 3:1 or Prores 422 HQ or just 422, here is what you can expect: Sandisk Extreme Pro SSDs might seem like a great idea, but the connection is just USB-C, which is not designed for movement or “bumps”. On the whole though, CFast 2.0 is the most convenient and robust solution, though the most expensive (see below). UHS-II cards have a sustained write ability of about 260 MB/s, so anything in the table above that’s lower should be fine (don’t forget to use the multiplication factor). UHS-II SD cards can record UHD up to 30 fps, and for many that might be good enough, if your work is straight to YouTube. Due to poor battery life of the camera you can’t record for long! Great for long recordings in a studio/fixed setting. No limit, as long as the drive is capable of sustaining write ratesīest value, though highly risky for run and gun work. Recommended choice, but the most expensive option Great for low budget shooters and straight to YouTube work (YouTube prefers UHD over 4K) In other words, no limit as long as card is able to sustain write speeds. UHD up to 30 fps 4K 60p (see above video). Here are the options and what you get with them: No. The Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K ( Amazon, B&H) supports different kinds of memory cards. ![]() For zero color correction, Prores LT will be the best and fastest workflow for straight to the web content.This should be great quality for straight to the web with minimal tweaking. For Prores, the best setting in terms of data rate is 422.For CinemaDNG, the best compression level seems to be 3:1 – based on past data.Update: Check out this video I made comparing different storage options: This is a windowed mode, you won’t get the full size of the sensor. ^Estimated, rounded to the highest number If it’s not 30p, then use the multiplication factor to get the approximate data rate for the frame rate you want. Finally, select from one of the ‘Data Rates’. Then work your way to ‘Frame rates’ and choose the frame rate you want. There’s a lot of confusion about the codecs, data rates and compression levels. This article will look at some of the important quirks and features of theBlackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K. ![]() It is a ground-breaking camera in many ways because it is the rare camera that offers 4K RAW for only $1,295.
