![]() ![]() Yes, the company says that the process can be reverted, but if something goes wrong along the way, or even after that, good luck trying to get anything fixed under warranty! ![]() Well, this is obviously not endorsed or in any way designed by Blackmagic, and that means that you will void your warranty. The guts of the camera will be covered by a carbon fiber looking enclosure, and a USB-C port can be rewired there to accommodate an SSD in the resulting slot. The camera will get disassembled, the screen took apart and placed on a hinge that allows for a complete 180° rotation forward so that it becomes front facing. Sounds great, right? Unfortunately, the time to get the job done plus the shipping back and forth adds up to three weeks at least, where you’ll be sitting at your desk waiting for your camera.īut what does this modding consist of? The operation is quite simple. They claim that they can upgrade your Blackmagic Pocket 4K in a few business days, three exactly, and send it back. The company that makes this modification to the camera is based in China as it can be found on the Chinese site Taobao, sort of an eBay-ish website. That’s not even that expensive by itself, but to add to that there’s the problem of time. The cost of this camera-tuning is not cheap being around $300. But FlashFilm Academy may have found a workaround for that drawback. One of the first to fall was the hinge for a swiveling screen – the Pocket 4K, in fact, has none. Users need to adapt to some of the design choices that were needed to keep the price down. There are not many cameras (if any) that provide so much bang for the buck, but at the same time, this comes with a price. As more and more filmmakers are getting their hands on the Pocket 4K, some small quirks referring to this otherwise great camera began to emerge. ![]()
