Wooden Camera PL Mount Modification Kit (Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K / 6K / 6K G2 / 6K Pro) product description
Professional PL Mount Conversion for Blackmagic Cameras
The Wooden Camera PL Mount Modification Kit allows cinematographers to adapt their Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K, 6K, 6K G2, or 6K Pro to use industry-standard PL mount cinema lenses. This user-installable kit provides a robust and secure connection for high-end glass, significantly expanding your creative lens options without requiring a new camera body.
Precision Engineering and Build Quality
Constructed from stainless steel and aircraft-grade aluminum, the mount ensures long-term durability and precise optical alignment. The kit includes a PL port cap and a comprehensive set of shims for fine-tuning back focus. While appropriate shims are pre-installed prior to shipping, users can perform further adjustments using a wide-angle lens and a focus chart to ensure perfect performance.
Installation and Reversibility
The modification process utilizes the camera's original EF mount screws to attach the new PL mount. While the process is reversible, it is important to note that the camera's sensor block is constructed from a composite plastic material. Frequent switching between mounts may eventually strip the plastic threading. All necessary tools for the conversion are included in the package.
Important Compatibility Information
The majority of modern S35mm lenses are compatible. However, lenses with a rear protrusion longer than 40mm, measured from the PL flange, are not compatible. Additionally, some lenses may not fit due to the specific physical design of the original Blackmagic body. Users should review the protrusion requirements and consult the BMPCC6K Compatible PL Lens Chart before installation.
