Blackmagic Design Unveils Camera ProDock for iPhone 17 Pro, Blurring Line Between Consumer and Pro Cinema

Blackmagic Design has unveiled the Camera ProDock, a new accessory designed exclusively for iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max models. Priced at $295, it transforms these smartphones into professional camera systems, bridging the gap between consumer devices and high-end production tools.

The ProDock offers a range of professional connectivity features, including timecode and genlock for syncing multiple cameras, HDMI monitoring for real-time feedback, USB-C storage for direct recording, and professional audio inputs for high-quality sound capture.

One of the standout features is the ability to record in ProRes and ProRes RAW formats, enabling cinematic-quality footage. It also supports synchronized multicam setups and direct collaboration with DaVinci Resolve through Blackmagic Cloud using the Blackmagic Camera app.

The ProDock positions iPhones as serious contenders in professional productions. It allows them to serve as reliable B-cameras or even A-cameras in certain productions, with support for SSD recording, lens control, and HDMI out. This reflects a trend towards democratizing cinema, where the divide between smartphones and studio equipment narrows with each new product cycle.

With the Blackmagic Camera ProDock, iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max users can now access professional connectivity and recording features previously unavailable on smartphones. Priced at $295, it turns these devices into versatile camera systems capable of anchoring full-scale productions, further blurring the line between consumer and professional cinema tools.
