The new Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro now uses Sony NP-F570 type batteries that have much better performance than the original Pocket that uses Canon LP-E6 battery. The lens mount is still EF and uses the same CFast type media.
All Pocket Cinema Camera models include a full version of DaVinci Resolve Studio.
Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Cameras feature a mini XLR input with 48 volts of phantom power for connecting professional microphones. The 6K Pro model features 2 mini XLR connections, to record 2 separate audio tracks using 2 mics, without an external mixer. The four built-in mics have an extremely low noise floor and are shock and wind-resistant. There’s also a 3.5mm audio input for connecting video camera microphones, along with a built-in speaker for playback and a 3.5mm headphone jack similar to the other current Pocket cameras.

Camera Features
Featuring the same generation 5 color science as the URSA Mini Pro 12K, the new Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro delivers accurate skin tones and faithful color. A new dynamic 12-bit gamma curve is designed to capture more color data in the highlights and shadows, for better-looking images. The color science also handles some of the complex Blackmagic RAW image processing, so color and dynamic range data from the sensor is preserved via metadata which customers can use in post-production.
Internal ND Filters
The inclusion of internal ND is a big one. It has 2, 4, and 6 stop IR ND filters.
The IR filters have been designed to filter both optical and IR wavelengths evenly, eliminating IR contamination of the images.

Activation buttons are located on the rear of the camera body, placed within easy reach of your thumb from the multi-function hand grip. User-selectable filter settings can even be displayed as either an ND number, stop reduction or fraction on the LCD.
