Blackmagic’s Camera ProDock Turns iPhone 17 Pro Into a Rig-Ready Production Camera

The accessory brings genlock, timecode, HDMI, USB‑C SSD recording, locking 12V power, plus audio I/O.

Overview

  • Blackmagic officially launched the Camera ProDock for iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max with tight integration to the Blackmagic Camera app.
  • The dock adds full-size HDMI, BNC connectors for genlock and external timecode, three USB‑C ports, a locking 12V DC input, and 3.5 mm mic and headphone jacks.
  • Genlock enables frame-accurate multicam sync and helps prevent flicker when filming LED volumes, while timecode support keeps independent rolls aligned in post.
  • ProRes and ProRes RAW recording, external SSD capture, and Blackmagic Cloud workflows position the phone for direct handoff to DaVinci Resolve.
  • Blackmagic lists pricing at about $295 through resellers, while Apple’s online store shows a $299.95 “coming soon” listing, indicating minor availability and price variation by vendor.
