Compact Micro Four Thirds cinema camera designed for drones and gimbals.
The Blackmagic Micro Cinema Camera is a compact, body-only cinema camera from Blackmagic Design using Micro Four Thirds lenses, featuring 1080p RAW recording to CFast cards and 12-stop dynamic range. Its extreme compact size makes it suitable for mounting in tight locations — quadcopter drones, POV rigs, crash cameras, and similar applications.
Active Micro Four Thirds sensor, 1080p ProRes and CinemaDNG RAW recording (CFast card), 12-stop dynamic range, no built-in screen (remote monitoring required), USB-C power, no built-in audio input.
The Blackmagic Micro Cinema Camera's defining attribute is its tiny form factor for a cinema-quality RAW camera. It lacks a built-in screen (requiring a Blackmagic Video Assist or similar external monitor), has no internal stabilisation, and records to CFast cards. Used in drone rigs, gimbal systems, and as a crash/action cinema camera.
Test recording in both ProRes and CinemaDNG RAW modes. Confirm CFast card compatibility. Check USB-C power input function. Verify that the Micro Four Thirds mount accepts lenses correctly. No internal battery — confirm USB power supply or compatible external battery. Check all I/O ports.
