Used Blackmagic Design cameras

The Blackmagic line-up covers many working styles. Popular choices among filmmakers are the Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro with EF mount, ideal for those who want to combine bags of dynamic range and RAW quality with compatibility with existing Canon EF glass, and the Pocket Cinema Camera 4K, a light and affordable entry-level option that is still excellently suited to documentary and gimbal work. If you want more reach towards professional production, a URSA Mini Pro is the well-known workhorse choice, while the newer PYXIS models are interesting if you want to build something modern and modular.

What should you look out for with a used Blackmagic?

Above all, check the lens mount type: Blackmagic supplies the same bodies in EF, PL, L-mount and MFT, so make sure the mount matches your glass. Also look at the condition of the display and the housing, at the sensor (no dead pixels or spots in ISO tests) and at whether accessories such as the battery grip or EVF are included. With URSA models, ask whether the fan runs quietly and whether the media bays work properly. Every camera we sell is professionally inspected and comes with a warranty of at least 12 months, and you have 14 days to return it, so you can take your time testing.

Who is a Blackmagic camera for?

Ideal for videographers, documentary makers and indie filmmakers who want to shoot RAW and like to grade in DaVinci Resolve. The Pocket series suits filmmakers who travel light or do gimbal work; the URSA Mini Pro is made for crews who shoot long days on a shoulder or tripod. Combine your body with the right cine lenses and monitoring for a complete kit.
