Blackmagic Design isn’t known for a whole lot of fanfare when releasing updates to its hardware.
Today, Petty stepped back into the spotlight to announce the BMPCC 6K G2, the second generation of BMD’s popular 6K Pocket line (along with a very cool software update)?
From what I’m seeing, the BMPCC 6K G2 is pretty much the exact same camera as the BMPCC 6K Pro, but with one missing piece.

The BMPCC 6K G2 isn’t really a camera to upgrade to, especially if you already own a 4K or first-generation 6K.
It seems Blackmagic Design isn’t trying to reinvent the wheel here.
But the star of the show from today's announcement isn’t about cameras.
The new software update comes out today for all four Pocket cameras.
Apparently, all of the Pocket cameras have a super-secret feature.
With this new software update, this sensor data can be recorded into the BRAW file and then used in DaVinci Resolve to stabilize the footage.
Yes, all current-generation Pocket cameras will have this feature enabled
As always, the software update is free and available right now
If you’re already in the Pocket family, maybe skip this update, as you already have most of the features
