was not designed as a consumer camera, but as a pro video type camera
It's a successor to the Pocket Cinema Camera.
It doesn't exist on it's own in a vacuum.
It's bad enough that it no longer fits any kind of pocket nor be stealthy and non-intimidating after the upgrade from the previous model of it's line.
If it was an URSA Micro, then I'd go along. But within the Pocket lineup,
if the TRS port hardware is flexible enough to support it, I wish for the LANC feature to be included again. Oh and if it could
OUTPUT LTC timecode on the headphone port (maybe 1 channel?) for an external audio recorder or second, consumer camera. That would be great for many amateurs and suddenly give them the ability to learn to work with time code just as these cameras allow them to learn to work with grading, raw and log material.
The bluetooth protocoll is fairly well documented. But a
Bluetooth command to inquire about the valid values for a parameter or at least
read the firmware version would be great.

You seriously strap an iPhone to one of the handles of your Shoulder rig to have 1 REC button?
Seriously?
(You couldn't have a focus slide without haptic feedback. A zoom rocker would be possible but these relativ-change commands don't exist for focus. )
If you talk "serious broadcast needs", why does the URSA and URSA Mini have a handle (for 200+€) and the Pocket4K/Pocket6K hasn't?
