What do we know of the two brands at hand? Well, both have plenty of history in making third-party accessories for cameras. Each has its fair market share, so which one should you choose? Let’s confront both rigs with Arber Baqaj and sort the pros and cons of each cage kit. There are two main competitors on the market in that regard: TILTA and SmallRig. Unlike other rivals, its form factor is not ideal for narrative productions, it’s much more DSLR -esque, so many have been using cages to make the cameras more set-friendly. But as-is, the camera has some limitations.

It offers a huge resolution and a compressed raw (for lack of a better term).įor many indie filmmakers, it has been the perfect deal. It’s an amazing camera, capable of delivering a beautiful image, with a nice cinematic grain. The release of the new Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K sparked a big discussion among compatibility of not just the BMPCC 4K Tilta cage, but also other cages and accessories and their ability to be ported over from the BMPCC 4K to the 6K version, which despite having very similar, if not identical body design, features a larger lens mount protrusion due to the inherent dimensions and physics of the EF mount.The Blackmagic Pocket, both in the 4K and 6K version, has acquired a loyal fanbase, and there’s more than one reason. Tilta have been making some high quality accessories for popular cameras in addition to gimbal stabilizers and affordable follow focus systems, but lately they have been working hard to get their Tilta Assault Armor cage for the BMPCC 4K and accessories out the door to the thousands of filmmakers, who had pre-orders.Īnd while the Tilta cage for the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K offers quite a few options when it comes to tailoring it to your preference by selecting different powered or non-powered handles and more, Blackmagic Design came out of nowhere with another pocket camera – the BMPCC 6K, now with a Canon EF mount, Super 35 sensor and 6K recording options. Tilta now have a small piece of kit that will make your Tilta BMPCC 4K cage compatible with the new Blackmagic Pocket 6K EF camera.
