Blackmagic Micro Cinema Camera
Small and compact digital camera with remote control and Super 16 sensor. Remote mode with built-in S. Bus and PWM port allows remote control of zoom, focus and iris. The resulting image is cinematic with a built-in ProRes and RAW recorder, MFT mount and 13-stop dynamic range. The Blackmagic Micro Cinema Camera performs well where other professional cameras fail.
Dynamic shooting in extreme conditions
The Blackmagic Micro camera is one of the most compact cameras, suitable for attaching to quadcopters and covert filming of reality shows. You can install it on a helmet, a radio-controlled helicopter, a hang glider, a skateboard and other devices, getting unforgettable and original shots.
Remote control
The remote control function, which is one of the features of Blackmagic cameras, allows you to shoot at a great distance, which is convenient when placing the camera on cars or RC helicopters and in dangerous places. Camera functions such as aperture and sharpness adjustment, recording and stopping are configured using a special remote control. Remote monitoring of the status, sound level and battery charge is carried out by connecting to wireless signal transmitters via a composite output.
Original and versatile design
Blackmagic Design cameras feature a compact footprint and expansion ports that create customized remote monitoring and control solutions. In terms of size, the camera is slightly inferior to the company's mounts, which makes it the most compact and miniature in the entire line of electronics. The body of the Micro Cinema camera, like that of the similar Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera, is made of light and strong magnesium alloy, thanks to which shooting can be carried out in absolutely any conditions. On the front panel there are keys by means of which the camera is controlled. You can control the shooting process remotely.
Innovative Expansion Ports
The Blackmagic Cinema Camera has an advanced expansion port that allows users to customize their own solutions for monitoring, remote control and external power. An adapter cable is supplied with the camera,providing access to additional features. The Blackmagic Cinema Camera has a video output, power jack, LAN port and sync function.

The composite and HDMI outputs output some camera settings - volume, battery charge, file type, histogram, lens parameters.
Super 16 sensor digital filming
The Super 16 sensor on your Blackmagic Micro camera allows you to shoot in 1080 HD with thirteen stops of dynamic range. The result is a cinematic quality image that is unlike action video or DSLR cameras: there are no exposure defects, and there is a lot of detail in shadow and highlight areas. You can get excellent quality images even in poor lighting conditions using a lower ISO value1600.
Integrated ProRes and RAW recorder
Blackmagic cameras have a built-in recorder that allows you to record 12-bit images without the noise and distortion often found in amateur action and DSLR camera files. Micro Cinema supports ProRes and DNG RAW: 12-bit files contain all the necessary data received from the camera's sensor, so you can adjust the exposure and white balance even after shooting. ProRes allows you to get small files with increased recording time. Both formats are ready for color grading and editing right away because the camera comes with DaVinci Resolve for Windows and Mac.
Camera compatible with professional lenses
The Blackmagic camera has an active Micro Four Thirds mount, which allows you to install professional optics for TV, photography and filming, depending on your specific requirements. Aperture, focus and zoom are controlled remotely via the expansion port. Stable shooting in dynamic conditions is achieved with MFT lenses that support image stabilization.
Easy operation
There are buttons on the front of the camera, thanks to which you can quickly adjust the parameters depending on what conditions are put forward for a particular shooting. All settings can be displayed on the screen via a composite or HDMI input. Micro Cinema Camera is equipped with several keys: fast forwardand back, start and stop recording. LED type status indicator shows battery level, recording status and memory card usage.
Professional sound
An omnidirectional stereo microphone is built into the Micro Cinema Camera to reduce noise interference, ensuring high-quality sound recording. Wireless and directional microphones and line signal devices are connected via a 3.5 mm jack. The camera's internal microphone is muted when audio is input from an external device.
Powered by an external source
A LP-E6 battery is installed on the back of the camera, which is used when working in remote mode. When outputting an image via PAL/NTSC or HDMI outputs, the battery level is displayed, so this parameter can be adjusted remotely. An LED indicator indicates the need for charging, and you can connect the camera to external power sources using an adapter cable with a 12 V input.
