#nab2025

Blackmagic Design just released a fantastic new camera, plus a bunch of other new products, and an update to DaVinci Resolve 20 (free update because it's a lifetime licence, not a subscription rip-off).

Customers started placing orders, and units would have started shipping immediately after the announcement at NAB 2025 just two days ago.

Now, Trump's terrible tariffs are biting. Blackmagic Design has been forced to increase prices for all hardware sold in the USA by 32%. :blobcatfacepalm2:

Edit to update:

Blackmagic Design has wasted no time, and announced that they've implemented a workaround:
"We have moved production of the PYXIS cameras to reduce the impact of the tariffs." — Kris Lam, Product Manager, Cameras Department, Blackmagic Design

A tiny number of countries have not been hit by Trump's new sanctions: Belarus, Burkina Faso, Canada, Cuba, Mexico, North Korea, Palau, Russia, Seychelles, Somalia, and Vatican City.

My educated guess is that the country where Blackmagic Design expanded its pre-existing manufacturing base is Mexico.

Are Trump's sanctions strongarming companies into moving jobs to the USA to Make America Great Again?
No. They're merely causing a scheduling wrinkle of less than one week while companies pivot to manufacturing in Mexico.
