When a GoPro reaches adulthood, it turns into one of these.
If youre not that into video cameras, just consider this for a moment.
Well lets take a look.
The Blackmagic Micro Cinema Camera offers a couple things that has made the GoPro so successful.
First, it comes in a small package and it weighs very little.
Last, it produces high quality footage in a small rig.
First, about those lenses.
The Blackmagic Micro Cinema Camera allows interchangeable lenses from various micro four-thirds mounts.
These include compact, high-quality lenses produced from a variety of manufacturers which can be mounted to this gadget.
Why is this important?
Because it provides real flexibility for framing up an image and controlling depth of field.
And its something that a GoPro just cannot do.
Next, about that sensor.
Beyond that, however, the light sensitivity of this sensor allows for a dynamic range of 13 stops.
The Cinema version doesnt sport 4K, but its built for more demanding environments.
First, few screens can render 4K resolution to the end user.
Now there is one fatal flaw here.
A GoPro is an action cam first and foremost.
Its not designed for cinematic video production.
Its designed to be effective, flexible and do so while taking a serious beating.
Comparably, youre not going to want to submerge the Blackmagic Micro Cinema camera.
Youre not going to want to strap it to your mountain bike for a downhill slalom.
But if you gotta graduate to a serious camera for cinematic images, youre looking at it.
The Blackmagic Micro Cinema Dronewill be available in July for $999.
Its an awesome time to be a creative professional.
