A friend gifted me a jacked up original Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera, and it did something to me... it changed me. I saw its potential. I saw how I could use it on my photography channel. I saw how fun this camera could be, and how it could be a fun break from my Canon EOS R. But because it had issues I needed a parts camera to fix it. Only one problem... there are NEVER any parts cameras for sale on eBay. I waited months and finally found one. But then after fixing the camera I received for free... I still had one camera remaining. Could I get that one fully functional as well?
Four cameras and $850 later... I had my answer.
