Just a tip in case BMPC shooters out there are looking for a very short HDMI cable to work with the BlackMagic Pocket Cinema Camera. I found this 1.5 foot Micro HDMI to HDMI online and took a chance. The cable has been working fine across a few different monitors and EVFs I have. The short cable keeps things tidy with my SmallHD DP4 EVF on the BMPC.
Amazon reviews are a mixed bag, but overall it's still 4 out of 5 stars. If you're looking for a shorty micro HDMI for the BlackMagic Pocket Cinema Camera, I can safely say this one works great on my setup.

Post author@jermaine Migel - For the 4K camera you need SDI inputs. I am using an AC7 OLED with mine and it works fine.

Hey Emm. do you know which SmallHD monitor works well with the BMPC4K cam.
Thanks Emm

Hi Emm. I prefer to use the coiled Micro HDMI to HDMI version. The coiled cable solves the cable slack problem while giving you extra cable length when you need it. Just search for it on eBay.

I can't believe how ridiculous some of these rigs look. Few years from now, I hope some will actually be scaled down and be less hectic to use in documentary work.

For short HDMI cables with 'normal' ends, I have had luck with these 1 foot flat cables: https://www.ebay.com/itm/180904059293

Post author@Owen - One thing people should be aware of is that the #BMPC outputs 10bit 4:2:2 and not every screen can display this signal. The DP4 EVF can display it properly, while some cheaper displays will only work with the 8bit from DSLR cameras.

Post author@blackroom - This is the new Shape BlackMagic Pocket Cinema Camera Cage. I'll have a video unboxing coming very soon on this. It has an interesting way to mount the BlackMagic Pocket Cinema Camera.

Nice set up.
For mine (with wooden camera cage) I'm going with a jag35 quick release single railblock v2 and a redrock micro spud on the right side of the dp4. This cable with a right angle adapter into the dp4 should be perfect - thanks.

NO shipping to Europe! What a joke.
