There’s also a USB-C port, supporting data transfer and slow charging. PortsĮasily the best kitted out camera for the price when it comes to connectivity, the Pocket Cinema Camera 4K has a full sized HDMI port, which is significantly more secure than the flimsy mini or micro HDMIs of old. On the right are all the ports, and we mean all the ports. The camera takes SD and CFast cards, with the CFast cards required for the highest quality raw 4K video. the Pocket Cinema Camera 4K has a standard tripod thread mount at the base with an additional mount where the hot shoe might be on a stills camera, perfect for an external monitor or LED light.Īt the base is a slightly flimsy battery door which is removable so the potential for third party battery grips is a reality, while to the left you’ve got a dual card slot which feels a bit more sturdy. There’s also a front-mounted record button and an LED light as well.

The grip is ribbed and has a secure tactility, with a new improved dual microphone set-up to the right of it. Its bulbous shape also ensures it is comfortable to hold and not too angular, with easy to access buttons, a dial, some bold air vents and a huge, huge screen on the back vying for your attention. This bulbous camera looks playful and, truth be told, a touch dated, but the combi-polycarbonate/fibreglass body feels well weighted and solid in the hand.
