Tips on Matching my Blackmagic Pocket camera with RealLens..

Hey guys i am really having trouble on matching my blackmagic pocket with geometry inside softimage.

I know its not a top hollywood camera, but i want play with that how much as can before i advance to something more robust like a blackmagic 4k.

This guy already made something that could help me, but i am really a Moron on lens:
http://bmpcc.rubenkremer.nl/

its a kind of calculator for cameras.

i know the pocket camera has crop factor of 2.88 (the sensor size is 12.48mm x 7.02mm)

So for wide angles for now, i am using a very cheap lens, its 9mm, you can see some
very dark footage i made a test (my monitor was very dark, so everything went dark)


So how i would translate such information to RealLens addon i found in here?

Someone could help me on this please?

Hi.
Choose 35 mm camera in RealLens, and set the focal length to 2.88x9 = 25.92

I recently matched a 3D camera in blender with the motion tracker, and then exported to softimage --> works perfect !

Thanks for the tips Julius, i will definetely try that! A forgot to mention it's a static camera

Tarkovsky worked great! Thanks a lot!

i just had to change 35mm to Super 35mm - Transfered to HDT
and change the Field of View to 82 to match the distortion
The initial results: (need match much more, but now i know the way!)
