Extended Battery Life and Charging Options
The camera uses high-capacity NP-F570 batteries and features a secure locking DC power connector to prevent power loss during shoots. Additionally, the included AC plug pack can power the camera or charge the battery when the camera is not in use. The USB-C expansion port can also trickle charge the battery, allowing users to utilize portable battery packs, mobile phone chargers, or laptops. An optional battery grip is available to extend the camera’s power, ensuring users can continue shooting throughout the day.
Grant Petty, CEO of Blackmagic Design, shared his thoughts on the new release: “With the new Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K, we wanted to create the most portable camera possible for high-end, large format cinematography. That’s why we took the Pocket Cinema Camera platform but completely re-engineered the electronics inside around a full frame sensor and L-Mount. This means our customers get amazing large format images in an extremely portable design that also works with the accessories they already own. The L-Mount also opens up some amazing creative options like using the latest Leica lenses or using vintage lenses customers already own in an entirely new way. This is a true high-end cinema camera designed for high-end work, and we think it gives our customers a whole new way to tell their stories!”
