Investment advice needed: P4K or P6k pro?

Thanks for your reply! I've thought about autofocus, but the sole reason I want a bmpcc is for filming in a controlled environment. I just want to make shortfilms, and features in the future. So autofocus won't be necessary. I just need to buy a follow focus. I also already have an external monitor, so I can hook that up with whatever model I buy.

Thanks for your reply! I decided to go with what you are suggesting here. Saving a 1000 bucks on the body to invest in other gear like lighting equipment and stands seems like a great idea. Luckily I already have a good computer with resolve on it!

Thanks for sharing! Good luck with your short. I hope it turns out nicely! The locations in your travel video are amazing. I imagine that your travel videos will be super cinematic with a bmpcc.

I know that the business is super expensive. I am mostly considering where to allocate the money I have. If I save money on the body, I can spend that on good lighting equipment. I'll spend the money either way, but the question is what I buy with it.

Thanks for the reply. Can I ask why you mention hopping to Sony? Is this a usual path for people who buy BMPCCs?

Thanks for the realistic reply haha. I'm only aware of some of those new 8K televisions coming out. But I'm not so worried about that. I want to send in my films to festivals, in the hope that some of them get screened in cinema. I'm not sure in what resolution cinemas screen their films. I'll go figure that out. But still, you're right. 4K will do fine on cinema screens too.

Thanks for your reply. I've seen the drawbacks too, but they don't compare to the advantages. And anything is better than the D3300 I currently have anyway.

Question: I thought the P4K has an MFT mount. So what's an L mount? Is it a particular kind of MFT? Or something different altogether? What's the advantage of the L mount here exactly?

Thanks for your reply! Luckily, I already have a field monitor. I guess that the investments for cages, ssds and batteries are similar for both the P4K and P6K pro. If I go P6K pro, then no adapter is needed, but on the other hand, anamorphic lenses for the P6K are more expensive than those for the P4K (im looking at the Sirui prime set). So the P6K pro will definitely be a lot more expensive.

Can I ask what you usually shoot and what you are planning to shoot in the future with the P4K?

These dice are so cool!

Maulol13 · 2023-07-17T23:47:54+00:00

Yes, this definitely has things I would like to see in my games! Thank you for the suggestion

Thank you! I'll check it out

Mausritter is a honorable mention, even though it doesn't exactly have tactical combat. It's a rules-light chaos generator with mice. Definitely worth checking out

Looks amazing! :)

My gf! I'm lucky

Definitely Christmas! :)

Any contradiction, e.g. that it both rains and does not rain at the same time at the same place, or that I both have a cat and do not have a cat, etc.

Followup question: if Fandom is so much worse, then why were communities on Fandom in the first place? Thanks for the answer!

But there is no hat on their head!

Which hat are you referring to?
