Jimmy Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 With the Ursa 4.6K announcement... The Micro BMCC passed me by a bit, but I have been checking out the specs and it looks great.... I can live without 4K for some of my work, but have always felt that a lack of HFR let the BM cams down a bit... The Micro has 60fps, great. Pre-orderedIs anyone else getting one? Has there been much news on a release date? What are you going to use for monitoring? Is the 60fps in raw? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrad Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Global shutter up to 30fps too. It does sound like a great camera, but there's no word on when it will begin shipping.I'm planning on picking one up and monitoring with a SmallHD 502 + Sidefinder for when an EVF is called for.

Zak Forsman Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I have one pre-ordered from a place that Aaron Green recommended. I'm most excited by the global shutter option. There is something about the way it renders motion that makes a subtle difference. And of course, I look forward to shooting raw and prores without the need for an outboard recorder/monitor. I've been running around with a GH4 and Odyssey 7Q+ and it can be a bit unwieldy when I'm on my own.I have assembled everything I need to shoot with it collecting in a box. some purchased, most I already had -- cage, cards, cables, 502 monitor, speedbooster, ND, follow focus, tokina 11-16, sigma 18-35 + 50mm, and Rich at Dog Schidt Optiks is crafting a Trump 58 set with the 38 and 88 attachments for me which i can't wait to pair with the bmmcc. Hopefully it ships this month.I also picked up this fantastic monopod by Sirui. bought it for the Micro but have been using it with my GH4 in the meantime and I love it.

Santiago de la Rosa Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Love the micro, but external monitor needed and I have not one.Pocket RAW saved may ass 2 weeks ago.I hope that the Pocket v2 will be announced maybe at NAB 2016 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 It is a shame they have not done a GoPro style wifi video feed to a mobile app...I'm still trying to work out if it can do raw 60fps.. Data rate would be 130MB/s, so should be ok with the new extreme pro SDs Zak Forsman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richg101 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 wow. that little setup will be killer with the 0.54x sb! pretty much an ikonoskop with the advantage of a speed booster! I'm hoping the global shutter mode doesnt affect iso sensitivity too much. but even if it's one stop, you'll be running an effective 1250base iso:) I'd better get the damn trump24/2 attachment sorted asap!

Jimmy Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 Micro studio is shipping now, so I think it is fairly close Zak Forsman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squig Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I haven't pre-ordered but I'm gonna pick one up as soon as I can. The only concern I have is fan noise.No mosaic filter Zak? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zak Forsman Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Probably. Going to wait and see if it's a keeper before buying that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercer Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I also picked up this fantastic monopod by Sirui. bought it for the Micro but have been using it with my GH4 in the meantime and I love it. Zak, have you personally tested any similar monopods? I'm in the market for one, and I was undecided between the manfrotto and one by a company called cinetree. I literally read about the Sirui 5 minutes before I saw your post. How stable are the feet? Would you feel comfortable being a foot or two away from it outside with a small set up on top?Obviously not on a windy day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zak Forsman Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 it's very stable. at it's lowest height setting, i've left a small rig (camera, cage, top handle, lens) on it overnight. and love how versatile it is. like being able to take the feet off and use them as a hi hat. i also had a manfrotto 501 head that i put on it.

I never used a twist lock tripod/monopod before... Do the locks feel pretty secure? Also, do you have the aluminum or carbon model? Sorry, about all the questions, I have just been doing a lot of shooting lately and I am getting tired of lugging my manfrotto/bogen tripod around, especially since a lot of times I don't even spread the legs out and use it like a monopod.

TheRenaissanceMan Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Add the BMPCC-specific Speed Booster, and think about what you're getting for your money:-Internal 10-bit ProRes-Internal log-encoded 12-bit RAW-1.67x crop factor-An extra 1 2/3 stops of light on all your lenses-The best color science in its price range-13 stops of DR (11-12 in GS mode)-The option to turn on global shutter whenever you need itAdd a cheap HDMI monitor or use your existing one, and you've got an insanely beast camera for ~$1500.

Bioskop.Inc Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Thanks for this find Zak - how much weight can these things hold or are they purely a small set up only? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zak Forsman Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 listed load capacity (yeah, i said it) is 17.6lbs. i bought the aluminum version. the carbon fiber version is a lot more expensive and not much lighter. mercer and Bioskop.Inc 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronFilm Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 I'm going to get the BMMCC as soon as it goes on sale for half price! ;-) Same way I got my BMPCC.... :-D Ed_David and Zak Forsman 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
