The Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro (Canon EF) is a powerhouse Super35 professional video camera engineered for filmmakers who demand cinematic image quality in a compact body. Boasting a 6144 x 3456 sensor with 13 stops of dynamic range, dual native ISO up to 25,600, and updated Gen 5 color science, the BMPCC 6K Pro delivers stunningly rich, noise-free footage whether you are shooting on a sun-drenched rooftop or a dimly lit stage.
Purpose-built upgrades set the 6K Pro apart from its predecessor: a brilliant 5-inch 1500 cd/m² tilting HDR touchscreen keeps your image visible in direct sunlight, built-in clear/2/4/6-stop IR ND filters eliminate the need for an external matte box, and dual mini-XLR inputs with +48V phantom power give you broadcast-grade audio capture — all while retaining the versatile active Canon EF mount that unlocks autofocus, iris, and zoom control across a vast library of EF and EF-S lenses.
