This video compares the Blackmagic Pyxis 12K, Pyxis 6K, URSA 12K LF, and the Pocket line (6K Pro/G2/Full Frame) in practical use, including a recent music-video shoot. I look at ergonomics, recording options, dynamic range, rolling shutter, frame rates, and the real costs of rigging each body.

If you’re deciding between staying with a Pocket-style body, moving to a cube (Pyxis), or stepping up to URSA, you’ll see where each model fits and the trade-offs involved. I also cover where firmware and accessories make a meaningful difference.
