Blackmagic has implemented their own sensor design that can record up to 12K at 60fps. That quite a jump from the previous 4.6K sensor used in the Mini Pro G2. Recording and control options remain largely the same aside from the removal of any codecs other than Blackmagic RAW. You’ll find no ProRes options here.

There’s an exterior LCD that provides at-a-glance shooting data, a four-position ND filtration wheel (0/2/4/6-stops), and dual CFast 2.0 and UHS-II capable SD memory card slots.
