Administrators Andrew Reid Posted July 22, 2013 Administrators Share Posted July 22, 2013 People of the world. Have you been able to locate a Pocket Cinema Camera or Blackmagic 4K Production Model? Has your dealer been weeping on your shoulder recently? Do you know something we don't? :) This is the place for all Blackmagic camera related shipping news.

Jon de Zwaan Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Andrew, this is getting pretty insane. I'm sorry to say it, but you're acting like a child that didn't get his Christmas present he wanted. Who are you trying to convince? I signed up here because of the valuable information and helpful community, but it seems like it's turning into a Personal View 2.0. Blackmagic Design will deliver the cam's eventually, don't worry about it. Cool down and enjoy Magic Lantern in the meantime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted July 22, 2013 Author Administrators Share Posted July 22, 2013 You misunderstood. This is genuinely a thread for shipping information. We have the other thread for general banter. mtheory 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HurtinMinorKey Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I think the smiley face was a dead giveaway. On topic: as of July 18th, the reps on the black magic site still claim that the team is working hard trying to meet the deadline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErikSwan Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Newest information: The team tells me that we are still on track to start shipping before the end of July. I'm not sure if there will be more of an official update than that within the next week, but for anyone in the LA area, we will have cameras at our event on Thursday if you want to check them out.

Administrators Andrew Reid Posted July 24, 2013 Author Administrators Share Posted July 24, 2013 Thanks for the B&H news. I wish they'd provide more details - i.e. have they had a communication from BMD? As it is, it could be just a guess or an opinion as that's the way it's written. My main worry is about quantities. I have the patience even after last year's situation to wait an extra 2 weeks of course for the Pocket camera! The problem is that most people will be waiting much longer if they trickle out only double digit units in August. This is a camera that has probably been ordered in the thousands. The 4K camera clearly isn't ready yet. Why not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgharding Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I think this will be the first year I do something on 16mm film... I saved so much cancelling the BMD 4K I can probably do a film on some lovely Kodak... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brellivids Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I think this will be the first year I do something on 16mm film... I saved so much cancelling the BMD 4K I can probably do a film on some lovely Kodak... What is this "Film" I hear from time to time. Is it a new RAW videocamera? .. is it made by some company named Kodak? Sounds interesting.. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgharding Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 It's a form of blackmagic, the film does a lot of the post work itself, but you have to have a wizard to operate it ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgharding Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 A friend of mine has the MFT Blackmagic BTW. I really don't know how, I'll ask about it... He didn't pre-order. MADNESS! 7 minutes in or so... magic... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkqlOSmNj7c All magic. Up to 150fps too ;) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6Kz2b45TP4&feature=player_embedded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 A friend of mine has the MFT Blackmagic BTW. I really don't know how, I'll ask about it... He didn't pre-order. MADNESS! Yeah, it's been available in store at B&H for the past few weeks, I'm sure they try to always have some cameras in store, even if they still have pre orders waiting.

Nog Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 First report of shipping.. as yet unconfirmed.. "my friend called B&H today and asked about the pocket camera. the rep put him on hold and called BMD. He told him that BMD is shipping the camera from california to b&h today and that he will have his camera in his hands by late next week. lets hope the B&H rep wasnt taking him for a ride." found at bmcuser.com http://www.bmcuser.com/showthread.php?4774-Received-an-email-from-BH-today&p=72793 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Carlson Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 I have just received a revised delivery estimate from Videoguys Australia for August 31st for the Black Magic Pocket camera. If it is delivered sooner then it is a bonus. At least it gives me time to source a few extra lenses! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. John R. Brinkley Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I saw on BMC User a thread with a letter from the head of Hot Rod Cameras. The gist is that the "limited quantities" = each dealer getting one (ONE!) Pocket Camera initially and about 3-4 weeks after that more quantities should arrive, hopefully. The 4k is even more delayed and won't ship with Raw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuickHitRecord Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Caleb from DSLR Video Shooter has a review unit being sent to him from B&H. I'm sure that he's not the only one. His reviews have mostly been about gear throughout the years. I can't remember him ever doing a camera review, but he's thorough and utility-focused.

Richard Carlson Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Black Magic website has changed from " Ships July" to "Buy Now" so time will tell when cameras actually ship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtheory Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 The 4K page changed from "Shipping July" to "Shipping August". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slvs Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Seems as though those who ordered very early on April 8th from B&H and Adorama are starting to get Shipping Notifications, however it sounds like not all the people who ordered 4/8 are going to get cameras in the first round of shipments.
