I have long said, if you’re going to make a studio camera, it would be nice to be able to use studio ENG lenses with a B4 lens mount. On the front of this camera, I’ve got a Canon lens with a Metabones optical and electronic converter to the Micro Four Thirds (MFT) mount. BMD calls these “demands.” They’re controls you attach at the end of your tripod handles that offer direct zoom and focus control of the lens, as well as start and stop recording, enable viewing of return video, and more. Now we have the Studio Camera 4K Pro, and they are really packing a lot of capability in here, especially now that we have the zoom controller and the focus controller. This camera is the third iteration, after the original 10" screen model, and then the Micro Studio Camera models. The Blackmagic Design Studio Camera 4K Pro Blackmagic loaned me this camera, as well as their new USB-C zoom and focus controllers, so I to try it out for myself and see how well it integrates within the BMD live production ecosystem.įigure 1. In this review I’m going to take a look at the Blackmagic Design Studio Camera 4K Pro ( Figure 1, below).
