Blackmagic is the first camera manufacturer to announce price increases due to the new tariffs

Blackmagic writes:

We wanted to post a quick note on USA prices and the new government tariff changes.
Most products in the USA have increased and please check our web site for details. DaVinci Resolve and Blackmagic Cloud prices remain the same. It’s also worth noting the price increases only affect the US and prices in other counties are currently unchanged.
