The Blackmagic Design Studio Camera HD 2 version 2 is in response to customer feedback. many users stating that during live production they have no intention of relying on the battery and hook the cameras up to AC power. Therefore it makes sense for Blackmagic to provide this incredible version, especially as removing the battery brings several benefits.First is price. The HD Studio Camera has now dropped $200 to $1495, while the Blackmagic Studio Camera 4K is now available at an $800 reduction of $1695. By any stretch of the imagination that is an extremely competitive price, and is one of the narrowest margins we’ve seen on UHD kit over and above HD. ‘4K for free’ isn't there yet with cameras, but it’s not far off.The spec on the new camera isn’t different to the old ones, though obviously, they’re going to be lighter without the internal power source. The big advantage of removing the battery though is that the cameras can now sidestep all the recent legislation regarding air transport and rechargeable units and can now be shipped via air freight for location work. Cheaper and easier.With the lightweight and magnesium alloy body as one of the superiority, hence the Studio Camera HD 2 from Blackmagic Design suitable for live production.
