Complaints (3)
- “the 6k pro is definitely a bit more power hungry”
  VideoFilm Riot · March 2021Watch at 3:53
- “but it's still power-hungry and you should buy a few – even if you use the battery grip”

- “the battery life still isn't that great”

Praise (5)
- “this is a much needed improvement it makes shooting so much more comfortable”

- “i actually really like how this one feels more so than the 4k it's a lot nicer to grip onto and it makes it feel like i have more control”

- “The large touchscreen menu is clear and well designed”
  PressDigital Camera World, Adam Duckworth · April 2021Read the review
- “a quick push of the AE and AF buttons usually gets your focus and aperture in the ballpark. Once you get used to it, it's very useful”
  PressDigital Camera World, Adam Duckworth · April 2021Read the review
- “the controls are well-designed with a large Rec button and an obvious control dial on the front to adjust aperture”

Complaints (2)
- “you have to get used to the handling from the odd size and large shape of the Super35mm Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro – which is certainly far from being pocket size”
  PressDigital Camera World, Adam Duckworth · April 2021Read the review
- “It's also very wide and when fitted with the battery grip, won't stand up on a flat surface without falling over forward when you put a lens on it”
