Blackmagic launching a tiny, drone-friendly RAW cinema camera
Hollywood feature films needs better quality than a GoPro can deliver for aerial footage, but heavy cinema cameras demand really expensive drones to lift them. Blackmagic Design clearly thought all this through and is about to launch a Micro Cinema Camera, judging by a banner glimpsed at the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) convention. It should suit high-end producers’ needs with a Super 16 sensor (30 percent smaller than a Micro Four Thirds sensor) and RAW video with 13 stops of dynamic range. A giant nod to its intended usage is built-in PWM and S-Bus drone radio control protocols, as well. There’s no word on what size of drone you’ll need to lift it or other specs, but Blackmagic is likely to reveal the camera later on today.
