If you do not like the shape of the new Blackmagic 6K L-mount camera you can now buy this Nexus G1 housing.
The planned features of the Nexus G1 include but are not limited to (via CineD):
- Body: Made of composite material, combining polymer and machined aluminum elements. Lightweight but high strength.
- Battery: Rear-mounted mini/micro v-mount to allow a longer runtime and balance out lens weight for comfort and stability for handheld use. Other popular types of batteries such as gold mount, full-sized v-mount, and NP-F are also being considered.
- Monitoring: The original touchscreen 5” display from the Blackmagic pocket 6k will be turned into an external display that can be mounted to the top or side. An integrated 3.5” full-color touchscreen display integrated into the top surface of the camera towards the rear, which serves as a control panel to control all the camera settings.
- Built-in Electronic ND filter: Optional internal continuously variable LCD-type Electronic Neutral Density (ND) filter, controlled via side handled control wheel.
- SDI: Optional SDI module, which provides 1x SDI output and 1x SDI input (maintains simultaneous HDMI output also).
- Storage: The USB-C port will remain and work as normal. The Cfast 2.0 port will be relocated to the side of the camera and designed to accept both regular Cfast cards and 1tb Nexus Drive SSDs.
- Lens Mount: The camera will come stock with the original Blackmagic 6k EF mount. An option will be available to unbolt the EF mount and replace it with the Nexus MultiMount.
- Ports: USB-C port, HDMI (1080p60), SDI 3G 1x in 1x out (if SDI module installed), XLR audio input (TBD, considering full-size XLR), Cfast 2.0 (designed to accept Nexus Drives), MicroSD slot, 3.5mm mic jack, 3.5mm headphone jack, Weipu power port, External screen IO port, Nexus Grip side control handle IO port, 3x d-tap power output port (also considering Lemo option).
