Choosing between two used Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro bodies for your next video cinema production build comes down to a classic fork in the road: lens mount and out-the-door cost. Both are used 6K Pro bodies in the same family, but one is built around the EF lens mount and carries a lower price point, while the other uses a PL mount and sits at a higher price point. The right call depends on the lenses you already own or plan to rent, and whether you're willing to source a few missing accessories. The price gap is more than $500, so it's worth being clear about what you're getting for the difference.
Quick Verdict
If you're after the least expensive way into the Pocket 6K Pro and you want a package that includes a battery, strap, and AC adapter, the EF Mount version is your pick. If your workflow demands PL-mount cinema lenses and you're prepared to add your own battery, strap, and DaVinci Resolve Studio activation key, the PL Mount version is the one that fits-at a higher price.
Comparison Table
| Option | Mount | Condition | Price | Price Bar |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro (EF Mount) | EF | Used | USD 1,375.00 | |
| Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro - PL Mount SKU#2090015 | PL | Used | USD 1,901.00 |
There's a $526 spread between the two price points, so the total cost difference comes down to how much the accessories and lens mount matter to you.
Where Each Product Wins
The EF Mount wins on upfront price and the extras that come with it. The PL Mount wins if you need to attach PL glass directly, and its condition rating is Excellent with slight cosmetic wear. The EF Mount is the lower-cost way into the 6K Pro, while the PL Mount is the direct-match body for PL cinema lenses.
Product Notes
Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro (EF Mount)
At $1,375.00, this used EF Mount body is the more affordable of the two. It comes with a body cap, camera strap, AC adapter with international attachments, and one battery, so you can get started right away if you have EF lenses. The camera also includes a tiltable touch screen and built-in motorized ND filters in 2, 4, and 6 stops, which is a strong set of features for a compact cinema body. For a used unit, the inclusion of a battery and strap reduces the list of things you need to buy separately. The limitation is the mount: with an EF mount, you can't directly attach PL-mount lenses without an adapter, so this body is best if your lens collection or rental plan is EF-based.
Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro - PL Mount SKU#2090015
At $1,901.00, this PL Mount version is the higher-priced option, but it's also the direct match for PL-mount cinema lenses. It's in Excellent condition with slight cosmetic wear, and the package includes a lens turret dust cap and an aftermarket power supply. The catch is that the DaVinci Resolve Studio Activation Key, the camera strap, and the NP-F570 battery are not included, so you'll need to budget for those separately. If you already own or plan to rent PL glass, this body skips the mount adapter and lets you get straight to shooting. The missing accessories are worth pricing out before you commit, because the higher body price plus those extras will shape your real-world budget.
Final Choice by Use Case
If you're assembling a video cinema production kit around EF lenses and want the lower-priced entry point with its included extras, the EF Mount body is the one to choose. If your work is built around PL-mount cinema lenses and you're okay sourcing the missing items, then the PL Mount body is the direct fit for that workflow. Match the mount to the lenses you'll actually put in front of the sensor, and the price difference will start to make sense.
