NAB 2013 - What would be great to have for the BMCC

PostWed Apr 03, 2013 10:26 am

Hi,

This is a topic for NAB 2013 and what you wish for the BMCC to be announced.

One of my favourite announcements would be:

1.Blackmagic/ or another company is making a good and cheap (less than 300EUR) external battery for the BMCC, which is very transportable. Switronix got me disappointed. They don't have a reseller in Germany. I'm paying almost 500EUR if I would buy it in france oder UK.

2. New Firmware with loads of interesting stuff! Audio meters etc.

3. An inexpensive underwater-housing for the BMCC (ewa-marine) announced something in twitter but never got to the point producing it.

4. A better Mic solution than NTG-2 for stereo recording (without the need of external phantom power - battery powered)

What do you wish for NAB 2013 according the BMCC?

+1 For an underwater-housing (Soon)
+1 For Audio meters (Now)
+1 For OLPF Filter (Now)
+1 For External Battery (in Version 2) of the BMCC
+1 For 60FPS or More (in Version 2) of the BMCC
+1 For Active MFT Mount (in Version 2) of the BMCC.
+1 For 35MM Sensor @4k (in version 3) of the BMCC.

Plus all these pluses+++++++but keep it under $4000 In future Versions (2&3 if possible) of the BMCC :mrgreen:

I'd personally just like to see:

- more accurate battery levels
- available space remaning information
- Custom LUTs you can install on the SSD for use on the camera's monitor.

Otherwise, I'm pretty damn happy with this little guy :D

Black balance. My camera arrived out of the box with a giant dead bastard in the middle of the screen. I had to send it back to support and they 're-calibrated' the camera. All good now. Here's hoping they add black balance so people aren't plagued with dead/stuck/hot pixels.

I'd settle for:

1. audio meters (plus the audio glitches fixed)
2. clip management
3. SSD capacity read-out
4. more accurate battery levels and/or a sleep mode
5. pan'n'scan when zoomed in to check focus instead of stuck in the middle of the shot

I hope QC is not falling off the cliff!
There seems to be more, and more complaints as the "Third" generation cameras are being shipped!
I just ordered my 3rd EF camera,
And I have 2 MFT's on pre-order, I can not tolerate any QC problems at this point in my investment, But hey.. I may never have any? /Me crosses fingers!

Some respect for European customers, who ordered a year ago and still did not get their camera.
