Since Blackmagic Design’s brand new Pocket Cinema Camera 4K is ending up into some people’s hands it’s time to talk about what media works with this 4K camera. This, of course, is an important item. Do not mess around with media. Do not go cheap. Do not go with something not listed here and then go running around saying the new Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera 4K is skipping frames. It is on you if you do not follow the approved media list. Plus, who wants to spend the time and effort put into a project just for your footage to not turn out. Here is the exhaustive list of approved media. It is straight from Blackmagic Design. If I were you, and I am at times, I will look to this list to buy what I need to go with my Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K.
