Should you buy that Blackmagic gear today?

Every product line Blackmagic Design currently sells, scored against its own release history and the trade-show calendar it has followed for nineteen years. 377 SKUs folded into 108 lines, from 226 announcements dating back to 2007.

16days until IBC 2026

71% of every product Blackmagic has ever announced arrived in April or September, at NAB or IBC. They expect to announce on 11 September 2026 — 11–14 September 2026, Amsterdam RAI. Anything late in its cycle is worth waiting out.
