Studio Camera 4K Pro - Zoom Motor & Feedback

PostSat Aug 28, 2021 2:35 pm

Hello,

A little feedback on the Blackmagic Studio Camera after real world use, it's an amazing camera, but it lacks a Zoom motor to drive any MFT or EF zoom lens and not just the 4 zoom powered MFT lenses, it would really expand the possibilities of the camera. Since the Olympus 12-100mm gives a near broadcast range. Do you know if there are any options on the market that would be compatible (Tilta, etc..?) . Is it planned by Blackmagic (ideal) ?

Also, is there anyway we could record prores in the hard drive connected to the camera ? Braw UHD is beautiful, but in many cases we need to hand off more "standard" footage like prores to customers or editors. Also, Braw does not retain the ATEM CCU control color correction sadly.

Here's the review for further feedback :

It would be easy for BMD to build a zoom control motor that would plug with USB-C to the camera like the zoom control and focus control.

There would need to be some sort of USB-C loop out / 2nd port from the motors to the focus / zoom remotes too.

focus / zoom remotes both have 2 USB-c connectors for this purpose. so a motor would also have 2 USB-c connectors

A zoom motor made by black magic really would be great. Hopefully they will come out with something.

It is unlikely that BlackMagic will be interested in making their own servos, but I would like them to cooperate with someone from existing manufacturers.
