Product Request - Pyxis Side Handle
Posted: Thu Jan 09, 2025 2:38 pmWith the Pyxis monitor coming soon, there's one more thing we need to round out the camera... a Side Handle designed by Blackmagic. Other handles can do Run/Stop via the usb-c. But I think Blackmagic could make a better one. Something like the Ronin 4D grip would be awesome. Multiple/programable function buttons, Run/Stop, and scroll wheel for various adjustments (basically the controls by the pocket camera grip). It should also have hand strap and definitely some sort of press to rotate feature.
The goal or benefit of this would be the ability to operate the camera without having to think about operating the camera. It would make most changes done by muscle memory. When on you're on the move, doing more documentary style filming, having to stop and change settings can really get tedious and ruin the creative flow or even cause you to miss a shot. I think the Pyxis monitor will help with this, but it still means stopping or taking a hand off the camera to change a setting. Sometimes I'll toggle on and off false color several times in a shoot and I'm constantly hunting for the function button on the Pyxis. Thanks for what you guys do there at Blackmagic, keep up the good work!
