Agreed! The Z-mount has a very short flange distance of 16 mm which is idea for adapting all sorts of lens. I wonder if the Pyxis can use a third party non-electronic mount so that you could have a custom mount machined (if you don't need auto focus and iris contro)l? Looks like all of the Pyxis mounts have electronic contacts. -

If I'd known that Pyxis 12K was coming, I would have been less sure to buy the UC12K. There are a lot of things I like about it, but it really is heavy... and I'm sad about all of the lenses that I own and can't use with it - Leica M, Canon FD, etc. Even more surprising to me, given that the VA 12G can handle 4 audio tracks - the two from the camera and the two from its mini-XLR's. Maybe I'll play with that again this evening to see if I missed something. Anyway, owning Fairlight also doesn't seem to be that much of a flex. I'm sure that the audio engineers who use it exist, but I've never met one. In fact, when they hear that I'm editing in Resolve, they groan. At least in recent versions of Resolve, it seems to manage to produce an AAF that they can use on the first try. That wasn't always the case. Anyway. Even though a first-party solution in-camera could be really convenient, unless the transmitter were pretty cheap/included, I'd be unlikely to use it. There's already enough proprietary stuff! Are the latest versions of Bluetooth audio better than the old ones? Maybe that'd be a way to do in-camera wireless mic connection without having to buy a special Blackmagic transmitter? Anyway - the DJI pocket 3 does that when paired with DJI mics... but they never bothered to import that to Ronin 4D. Maybe if they announce the mirrorless that everybody is hoping for, it would be there too. -

I'm sure that is true. Personally, cost isn't an issue between the Pyxis and UC12k. If they were equal price, I'd still pick the smaller Pyxis with smaller batteries, sacrificing ND. Conversely, I'd be stoked to pay a little more for a Pyxis with NDs that isn't as massive as the UC12k. Nothing is perfect, but the Pyxis 12k looks really close and, if I can manage to get my projects off the ground, is very likely to be the one we use anyway. Which is honestly surprising to me, considering they own Fairlight and own the braw format. They could do some pretty cool things with metadata, like keeping a raw 32 bit audio stream but applying EQ and other settings as metadata. Hopefully it's on their roadmap! I mentioned the H5studio in my last post, and the wireless receiver module. I'd love to see a similar 1st party solution on a camera. Cut out an audio recorder entirely, go straight from wireless transmitters to the camera. -
Yes. I’ve only used it as a studio camera with an ATEM so all I can say is that with a P4K on another ATEM channel they look the same ! I find comparisons between the OG and new Pockets a bit moot as you can get them close enough for jazz visually so at that point it’s all about the rest of the deal. The new Pocket trounces the OG in every metric bar form factor. Depending on what you’re doing with a camera on any given day, the form factor of the OG can make all of the rest of the Pocket goodies irrelevant. The Komodo gave pause for thought over the PYXIS and the new PYXIS has given pause over the Komodo. You know how that goes. The bank balance has given pause over all of them though 😂 It remains to be seen what Nikon do as well with a new Cine line too. The Z mount is a great leveller for me because I can put anything on it. L mount is OK but the Z mount smokes it really when you’ve hoarded as many lenses in different mounts as I have. -

I guess we don't know for really really sure, but they said it's the same sensor so if it isn't, that'd be weird. I think BMD would say that if you want internal ND, you should just get the somewhat more expensive camera that has them. You're on the right track with just looking for a lens adapter with internal ND. Otherwise, somebody like Kase might come out with some clip-in filters. As for the audio, it does not seem to be BMD's strong suit. The UC 12K doesn't even seem to support 4 tracks (unless I'm missing something). To use my XLR shotgun, I need to either lose one of the internal mic tracks or set the internal mics to get mixed onto a single track (like assign XLR to right channel and mix the internal mics onto the left channel).
