The latest update to the Pocket Camera is no different. I’ve been shooting on their cameras for years and even shot my feature last year on the URSA Mini 4.6K… I’ve always respected that BMD strives to fill voids in the low-budget camera market that none of the other camera brands seem to even be aware of.
