News
Easydive has unveiled its new Leo3 Magic housing for the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema 6K camera (BMPCC6K), announced last summer. Unlike the similarly styled Pocket Cinema Camera 4K, which is built around a Micro Four Thirds sensor, the 6K version features a Super 35 sensor (6144 x 3456 pixels) and a Canon EF-mount. The camera shoots at 6144 x 3456 16:9 up to 50fps—hence the “6K” moniker.
Like Easydive’s Leo3 universal housing for DSLRs, the Leo3 Magic is a universal housing that uses Bluetooth to control the camera, and as such is designed to support other mirrorless cameras. Since there are no mechanical connections between housing and camera, the controls are arranged ergonomically around the integrated handle.
Constructed from aluminum and depth-rated to 150 meters (490 feet), the housing includes a dual battery pack that supplies power to both the camera and the housing. An optional HDMI/SDI converter can be installed for dual video output, and it’s also possible to add an external solid state drive.
The Leo3 Magic housing can be purchased directly from Easydive for €4,290 (with VAT). A 30% launch discount is available until March 15, reducing the price to €2,990 (with VAT).
