It turns out I can now answer some of my own questions in case anyone else wants to use the Portkeys Keygrip with a BMCC 6k. The short answer is: yes, it works. Perhaps even more shocking — at least for me, with relatively low expectations — is that after getting a Keygrip on Ebay that arrived with a menu in Chinese, the support contact email at Portkeys sent me a 15 second video (that looked like it was shot in the office) walking me through the menu clicks to change the language to English. Kudos to Portkeys support!
From there, there rest took care of itself.
You can select BMCC4K_BT and the Keygrip will prompt to enter the key on the BMCC Settings Bluetooth screen. Bingo, connection. Record control. FPS control. Shutter and Iris control.
I don’t have a rig where I would be able to check on zoom or focus, but that wasn’t my target. I just wanted Bluetooth record control, and I can now confirm Keygrip can give you that.
