Find Best Price at Amazon"Pretty good camera...but man, it's typical Blackmagic crud design choices. There's red blotches on my footage...yeah, the fabled magenta problems you may hear about if looking for the camera. Git new batteries and spent a few hours taking off the back plate because the idiots use these tiny little screws and then put it in TIGHT. Still, it's typical of BM...shipping out shoddy products from day one, that have a great look but you have to go through a TON of garbage to get that picture."
"This camera is absolutely amazing!!!"
"This is not a low light camera also, this is a cinema camera so you need lights on many occasions."
"There are a couple minor menu/functionality issues I hope they address in upcoming firmware updates, but nothing major."
"So far, so Good!"
"Great Camera!"
"This "Magenta Cast" isn't a cast."
"I shoot and edit vids for a large non-profit company 5 days a week. I got this, thinking it would suit me best over the many other choices because of the black magic color science, the prores/raw options and rez. While this is an obvious defect that many have run into, I was not into a whole giant Black Magic return back and forth in hopes of getting a "good" copy. It's no Alexa, but it's not really a handheld camera, and calling it a mini is kind of misleading, the side grip is almost pointless because of its lopsided weight. The other issues that contributed to this camera's return - It's power/battery config, sucks. The only reason Arri stuck with those batteries was to try and make the transition to digital more agreeable. Not only is it power hungry, but Black Magic doesn't even give you a battery plate. Not sure if the sensor's fixed pattern noise also means it's lowlight performance was hamstringed, but inside at 1600, mine was unusable. Yes 60p at full rez is good, big whoop, anything higher is cropped sensor, which is pathetic; more noise and awkward FOV. I followed the great Tom Antos advice and used his solution with a breakout card to an ssd and it just added to the clunkiness. There are some other features I liked, but it doesn't even matter, I returned it and bought a Sony Fs5 and couldn't be happier. DOn't get me wrong I love BMD's whole aesthetic and ambition, but this camera was a firepower overspec'd antiquated tank the moment it was released."
The other connections are Component and Composite on BNC, 2-channel analog audio on XLR, 2-channel AES/EBU audio on BNC, timecode input and output on XLR, Blackburst and Tri-Sync, and RS-422 deck control. Features built-in 6G-SDI connections that operate at four times the speed of regular HD-SDI.

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"The tripod is perfect for my needs as it can be adjusted for height, is relatively light weight and very easy to use."
"- The video/still panning dial/lock is also a very nice feature, allowing you to really lock down the vertical tilt while still being able to smoothly pan horizontally when shooting video. And then when you need to you can just flip the knob and be able to lock down both pan and tilt securely (like for still photography)."
"There are lots of knobs and different, small adjustable mechanisms that make it slightly less user friendly than my old tripod - but exponentially more accurate and precise."
"We like the release clip to free the small piece to mount on the bottom of the camera / phone. NOTE: In video, I show a separate selfie stick attachment which I can use to mount a smartphone on the mounting clip for the tripod."
"I just brought my canon camera last november and i haven’t able to buy a tripod but when i saw this tripod i immediately brought this."
"I love the quality of this product compared to the known brands out there in the market."
"Either way the stand could hold the projector steadily, without any problem."
"If u want to take a nice picture and u don't have a steady hand get a tripod it'll solve ur problem."

Find Best Price at Amazon"All in all, a great device to capture better audio for Instagram, Snapchat or Facebook live, not to mention just recording memories on you device. I totally recommend this if you're in the market to increase the audio in your videos on a budget."
"Reason for 3 stars is because the sound quality is definitely an improvement from the internal mic of the camera, but there are a lot of issues (mostly minor). The static can be minimal to completely removed using noise reduction software that comes with probably every video editing application. With WiFi enabled on the camera, the static I mentioned before passes the point of editable and the audio suffers greatly. You will most likely have to edit all audio unless you don't mind a hush crackling static sound."
"I got this as a gift for my girlfriend so that she could improve the audio quality of her videos as she likes to film using her phone."
"A great start for someone just getting into video, good sound always helps the final product."
"I invested in this bad boy for future projects and this audio is literally fantastic."
"It was ripped up and didn't feel new but when I was testing to see if it worked perfect, all I hear is me talking and a really loud static noise in the background."
"Well, as I type this I am editing a video and and losing minutes of content because I have to cut out so much of the popping noises."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I bought the Roxant Video Stabilizer out of curiosity, more than anything else, to understand how it works."
"The only two pieces of plastic on the unit are two non-critical plastic tension screws that could be replaced with a 5-cent wingnut if they were to ever break or get lost. I eventually found the sweet spot for my counterweights and repositioned the handle to the front position. I see so many people on Youtube who would vastly improve their videos if they would start using a stabilizer. You won't be able to do that with a larger stabilizer because a lot of the units extend 2-3 feet below the camera. This stabilizer is considerably lighter than my Opteka unit that kills my arm after using it for 5 minutes, not to mention the Roxant costs 1/3 the price and works equally as well."
"The company emailed me to let me know they have an online video tutorial on how to balance the rig (which is a great video) and to make sure I was happy with my purchase."
"I am a professional camera operator in Los Angeles, and having been in the industry for over 20 years I've had the opportunity to use dozens of different types of camera rigs...most of them for larger, full size cinema cameras. There are times when I need to "fly" a smaller camera (GoPro, SmartPhone or even a small DSLR) and I don't want to or can't pull out my full size stabilizer rig...either because of weight, space restrictions or unwanted attention that it draws. If this is your first time using a camera stabilizer I highly recommend watching several of the videos on the Roxant website, showing assembling, balancing, fine tuning and even operating the rig."
