Blackmagic PYXIS 6K (L-Mount)
The PYXIS 6K is a pro-tier (79) full-frame L-mount box cinema camera built around a 24.4MP sensor shooting 6K open-gate Blackmagic RAW to dual CFexpress Type B. It's made for owner-operators rigging a modular full-frame cinema setup on L-mount glass. Skip it for stills or run-and-gun handheld work: at 1500g with a box body and no IBIS, it needs rigging, and there's no autofocus-driven photo workflow here.
