Blackmagic PYXIS 6K PL Full Frame Cinema Camera

Blackmagic PYXIS 6K PL Full Frame Cinema Camera (The World’s Most Riggable Full Frame Cinema Camera)

Meet the next generation of customizable cinema cameras. Blackmagic PYXIS 6K delivers stunning full-frame digital film images with precise skin tones and rich, organic color. Its modular aerospace-grade aluminum body is designed for maximum riggability, letting you build the perfect setup for any production. Featuring a 36 × 24 mm 6K sensor with a matched optical low-pass filter, 13 stops of dynamic range, and dual native ISO up to 25,600, it captures beautiful, low-noise images in any lighting. Choose from EF, PL, or L-Mount models, and enjoy dual CFexpress recorders, Ethernet for Blackmagic Cloud, and simultaneous recording of 12-bit Blackmagic RAW and H.264 proxies.

Maximum Flexibility and Customization

PYXIS’ lightweight CNC-machined aluminum chassis and multiple mounting points make it easy to rig on cranes, gimbals, or drones. Interchangeable side plates expand mounting options for handles, microphones, or SSDs—so you can configure it for any workflow, from handheld to studio rigs.

Cinematic Large-Format Imaging

With a 6048 × 4032 full-frame sensor nearly three times larger than Super 35, PYXIS offers a shallow depth of field, true 6:5 anamorphic capture, and open-gate 3:2 flexibility for reframing in post. Record up to 36 fps full-sensor or 120 fps windowed, and enjoy the same Blackmagic color science found in high-end cinema cameras.

Three Lens Mount Options

Pick from L-Mount, EF, or PL to suit modern, DSLR, or professional cinema lenses. The L-Mount supports Leica, Panasonic, and Sigma lenses with adapters for vintage glass; the EF version uses common DSLR lenses; and the PL model works natively with ARRI, Cooke, and Zeiss cine optics.

Professional HDR and Low-Light Performance

PYXIS offers 13 stops of dynamic range and dual gain ISO (400 and 3200) for pristine images from bright daylight to dim interiors. Capture brilliant HDR footage with full control in DaVinci Resolve Studio, included with every camera.

Multiple Resolutions and Frame Rates

Record in HD, 4K DCI, and 6K, or shoot stills at 24.6 MP. Get 6K Open Gate at 36 fps, 4K DCI at 60 fps, or windowed Super 16 up to 100 fps. True 6:5 anamorphic recording produces ultra-wide cinematic detail.

Integrated 4″ HDR LCD Monitor

The bright 1500-nit Full HD touchscreen doubles as a focus assist and control interface, displaying overlays, histograms, and LUT previews—even in direct sunlight.

Streamlined Controls

Essential functions like ISO, white balance, and shutter are accessible via tactile buttons and a scroll wheel. Three customizable keys provide instant access to tools such as false color or high-frame-rate mode.

Advanced Connectivity
