This was a tiny camera for around £800 that could record 13 stops of raw Cinema DNG video if required, with a colouromitry that intercut very nicely indeed with cameras such as the Alexa.

The thing that persuaded filmmakers to overlook the BMPCC’s foibles was simply its sublimely good picture quality. Like many others who took the time to use it, he discovered that the Pocket Cinema Camera was a wolf in sheeps clothing. This was interesting because Charters eventually became one of the camera’s staunchest supporters, happily intercutting it with Alexas and Amiras. Indeed interestingly Rodney Charters can be seen in one early video deriding it as all a bit pointless.

When it first arrived on the scene in 2013 it came under criticism for its form factor and battery life. The original BMPCC was both amazing and frustrating at the same time. This BMMCC accessory package includes: Micro Cage (BMMCC, BMMSC) which attaches around the camera to provide 1/4-20 and 3/8-16 mounting points as well as the ARRI accessory mount in two places, Quick Base (Pocket, BMMCC, BMMSC), a quick release, 15mm Baseplate for holding the two 15mm Rods (15") at the correct lens height, NATO Handle Kit (Plus, 70mm) a quick release handle that attaches to the top of the cage, has a rotating top grip, multiple mounting points for accessories, integrated shoe mount, and a 15mm/19mm rod opening, A-Box (Pocket, BMMCC, BMMSC) for XLR audio inputs, UVF Mount (No Clamp) to hold EVFs & LCDs, Dovetail Clamp for mounting to an ARRI standard dovetail like the included Safety Dovetail (8”), Rod Clamp (15mm LW) that clamps to 15mm rods and provides multiple 1/4-20 mounting points for Battery Slide which attaches V-Mount and Gold Mount battery plates, and the articulating WC Magic Arm (7") which can be used for attaching an on-board recorder or LCD.Replay: We've moved on a bit since then but here's what made the original BMPCC camera so special.
