Original BMPCC6K Simplistic Rig With DJI Focus Pro

PostMon May 19, 2025 1:16 am

Hello all, I have posted a video of my new "Simplistic Rig" for my Original BMPCC6K. I picked this camera up for $800 used at Dodds Camera in Chicago about a two and a half mouths ago. I grabbed this camera to be a more nimble smaller "Grab and Go" camera to my Pyxis. The Pyxis is an awesome camera but not the most nimble in terms of running shooting for fun. Although I have done so, it is just Rigged up it is bigger and heavier. When it comes to the BMPCC6K, I put a couple mods on it. First, the Wooden Camera PL Modification to transform the EF Mount to PL. Then second, the Protech Pod Mod Kit that is sold by Kolari Vision, which relocates the touch screen to the top of the camera allowing it to articulate. This mod also puts a V-Mount plate on the rear helping this camera's power situation, and keeping it simplistic at the same time. Here is the vid to show the rest of the rig -

I appreciate it my brother. I'm always tweaking it and trying to improve the functionality, comfort of using it, and ease of transition.
