The "Pocket" Line Elevated to Pro Level
A direct evolution of the Pocket 6K, the 6K Pro adds essential shooting tools for demanding sets: built-in ND IR filters, 1500-nit HDR display, and improved endurance. It establishes itself as Blackmagic Design's "compact cinema" reference for those seeking cinematic 6K imagery in a mobile body.
For Directors, DPs, and Creators Seeking a Compact Pro Workflow
Whether in fiction, commercials, or documentaries, the 6K Pro offers wide grading latitude, serious audio capture via mini XLR, and flexible acquisition from 6K down to 1080p at up to 120 fps. It integrates easily into lightweight setups as well as full rigs, with an optional OLED viewfinder.
Features Designed to Shoot Faster
Controlled Exposure
The 4-position ND IR filters allow you to maintain shutter angle and desired depth of field without adding a matte box. Iris control on the body and auto iris speed up startup.
Visibility and Operability
The 5-inch 1500-nit HDR touchscreen ensures reliable monitoring outdoors, with a clear interface, focus assist tools, and full touch control.
Sound and Synchronization
Two mini XLR inputs with phantom power accommodate microphones and mixers, while the controlled-drift timecode clock and injection via audio inputs guarantee smooth postproduction.
Direct SSD Workflow
USB-C enables external recording and PTP control, with 3D LUT and full metadata to speed up conform and grading in Blackmagic RAW.
