You are calling out to blackmagic but this is a USER!!! Forum!!
Yes there are a few bmd guys for moderation and keep the forum clean. But almost never something mentioned here is done something with.
As others saying bmd does do much firmware updates to old products like 4+ years old. They just replace them with a new product the moment it’s ready!!
There are so many products that have buttons that do nothing or features that never been implemented. This is part of the philosophy release quick. Sell a lot and see what we can do afterwards in extras in firmware.
But a lot of features will never make it into end product due to not stable enough or others.
It’s not Sony that has it included all before release. But with Sony you pay 20x the price.
As for functionality. ALWAYS!! And I mean ALWAYS look into the Manual before buying something to be sure the function you “need” is included and supported!! Or get at least a demo to check if the features you need are there.
But buying all that gear and starting to complain at BMD for doing a bad job while you didn’t properly do your homework in the first place is the bad on your part!!
Also if bmd would make all this affordable gear you probably would not even be in this business as for that 20+k you would just buy 1 Sony studio cam without controller, CCU, and other needed hardware to get it running.
So don’t blame BMD. For no updates on old products.
