Concern As Blackmagic Camera Spews Smoke


We just spotted this very worrying video on YouTube showing a Blackmagic Camera “spewing smoke violently” after an internal component failed. This from the uploader of the video…


After getting footage for the Kickstarter video for me new game, my Black Magic Camera’s battery exploded, spewing smoke violently. We ran out of there for safety reasons. However, knowing we had to get some footage of it, we put damp rags over our mouths and ran back in to grab some footage. I’ve contact Black Magic Design regarding issues with Batteries, but have yet to hear back from them. Has anyone else had their Black Magic Camera explode?


Sadly this isn’t the first time we’ve heard of a Blackmagic camera failing so we’d recommend always taking a backup body if you are shooting for clients.
