A Fast and Easy Way to Rent Blackmagic Cameras

Blackmagic cameras are for professionals as well as serious hobbyists. Those who value high quality imagery, a wide dynamic range, and great flexibility in post production can definitely benefit from their camera series. Blackmagic Design cameras give true cinema quality for a fraction of the price. The color science behind their sensors can be easily compared to the cameras used in Hollywood. The image is clean, even in low light situations, especially with their new Dual ISO feature. 

Blackmagic has different flavors in recording to help save space on your memory cards but one impressive feature is recording in raw. Filming in raw can deliver very high quality and flexibility in post to help with color correction and color grading. Record in Full HD and up to 6K in various frame rates. The menu is very intuitive and user friendly, allowing you to learn their system on the spot. 

Do Blackmagic cameras have any drawbacks? Sure. Blackmagic bodies tend to be very battery hungry so make sure to always have backup batteries when filming on long days. Blackmagic cameras are fully manual, which means they don’t have any autofocus or auto exposure features. Filming in raw can result in big files which can eat up memory quickly. A solution for that would be to use an SSD plugged into the USB-C port.
