I'm glad it helped you 👍 as for the filter, personally I wouldn't buy a 2-in 1 as sometimes you just need a CPL and sometimes you need an ND but not both at the same time. Hope that makes sense.

I'm glad you've enjoyed the video and good for you mate, happy to see more people on the way to learn and sharpen their skills using their phones ! Check out all my other Xiaomi videos plus got a very very special I e coming out this Sunday which marks the 6 months later review 🙌 thanks again for tuning in and watching the content, really appreciate 🤙❤️

Just a cheap Bluetooth shutter remote

@UpsideLens alright nice thanks man😊

@Someoneelse-n5m you're welcome 🤙

It's really up to you, 15 is said to have the same main 1 inch type sensor, but upgraded ultra wide. Super telephoto sensor however is going to be a downgrade in my eyes due to using a Samsung 200mp sensor. We need bigger pixels not more pixels ! 14 will be much cheaper than 15 when it releases and as you can see is still the best cameras on a phone in 2025 so far ! 15 will have a faster and much more efficient snapdragon elite chip which combined with a larger battery should increase screen on time considerably. So that's the long answer for you 😅

@@UpsideLens yea that's true👍 I might wait for 15 to release check out more information an reviews, but probably just get the 14 like it's already so good❤️

No should be there, when you're in pro mode click the little arrow at the top and pick jpg/raw/ultra raw 👍

@ Thank you so much, just found it <3

Thank you, really appreciate 🙏 I have made much more content with the Xiaomi since that video if you're interested 😉

@@UpsideLens do you still have this phone? is there interesting photography updat es on it at the moment? I'm interested to buy one for myself (excuse my english, I'm a french guy :)

@clementroger5165 no need to apologise I'm french myself 😉 and yes I still have this phone, like I said if you look at my channel it's all about the Xiaomi, I release new videos every 2 weeks all shot on the Xiaomi ! In terms of updates, it's as good as it gets with the current hardware. Make sure to have a look at my videos for the last 6 or 7 months, it's all about the Xiaomi 👍

Thank you so much for the kind words, I'm glad you enjoy the content 👌I switched from the 1V back in may last year which was an awesome phone (unlike its successor)

Is so funny

Thank k you, you're very welcome 👍 as to all the settings I use I made a video a while about about how I get on about editing my photos in Lightroom Classic if that's of any interest to you. Whilst shooting on location I just shoot RAW and in manual mode.

Thanks for the kind words mate 🙏 from the top of my head (I took these back in June last year) I'd say no. I most probably graded them from scratch as my presets are more focused on street photography. As I shoot more and varied environments I'll create new presets in the future 👍

Didn't make a difference for me, just bought it online but I can see how one would want to see how it fits in the hand, see the screen and so on. You could order it off Amazon and send it back if you didn't like it I guess.

@UpsideLens yeah that's true, do you buy it and then get a sim only contract? And how is the phone apart from the camera side of it? Also loved the video, you make it look easy

@UpsideLens from Manchester 💙

Thank you 🙏 really appreciate, will keep that in mind 👍

@@UpsideLens Nice one

Thank you 🙏 gotta love a good old light trails on buses or trams 😅

Hi thanks :) no all my photos are shot in RAW manual and then edited in Lightroom Classic 👍

The 1 VI is already out and seeing how they've butchered the photo pro app I wouldn't hold my breath on the VII but who knows.

@@UpsideLens I mean the vii

The device doesn't matter, what makes good photos is composition and editing, the hardware itself a bonus. iPhone ,pixel, galaxy, Xperia, all phones nowadays are much more capable than most people think. Switch to RAW and manual and you're halfway there 👍

Pretty narrow minded answer if you asked me ! So because 95% of people use their phone cameras to 1% of its capabilities doesn't mean the other 5% don't know how to ! Composition and edit over pretentious hardware !

@@UpsideLens Your whole video has a fallacy though, nobody's staying at home because they don't have a proper camera. 95% don't care at all, and 5% already have a proper camera and use the phone as a second camera when needed.

Part of what I do allows me to meet a lot of people and I can tell you a lot of people who are into photography (not pro-photographers, just enthusiasts) don't realise the potential of phones. They get pressured by people, just like yourself, that if they want to get into the hobby it is blasphemy to use a phone and that they have to invest in "proper" camera, that's just plain wrong.

That is correct, that's the wireless adapter for my rode mic 👍

Thank you 🙏 glad you enjoyed it 😊 ❤️

😂 actually 1kg travel tripod which folds into a mere 38cm... Let's just get things right 😉 and thank you for proving my point, parties must be fun with you around 😂

@@UpsideLens Carrying a tripod negates the whole point of shooting with a phone. And the image quality is simply incomparable in favor of a real camera... Even the smallest cameras such as Sony RX100 make better pictures than any phone iif the user knows how to handle them properly. And larger cameras such as APSC or FF format would beat phones any day and time. That's my point. PS: Of course there are a number of common people who have no clue how to shoot with a real camera. For them it is of course better to use just a phone.

Who cares dude ! Let people do what they want to do ! Did I at any point say an A7IV was worse than my Xiaomi ? My point is that people just like yourself stop others from getting into the hobby because they need to justify that they spent thousands on the latest and greatest and that's what anyone needs otherwise whatever they do is shit and subpar... Once again whoooo caaaaares ! Go touch some grass 👍

@UpsideLens Well, I just wrote my opinion... which is that camera will always be better than phone in hands of those who can use it properly, and that carrying large tripod and then put a phone on it is just ridiculous. :D If you do not like my opinion or if it irritates you, you can ignore it. No problem.

@@vladimirkraus1438 Man, it's just a 1kg tripod and a 200g smartphone ! Go unpack your gear to take half of the photos he took during his day if you already get to the halfway point... He will have moved on having got what he wanted while you will still be unpacking and adjusting your camera... to photograph a moment that no longer even exists... and by the way his photos are more than excellent in this sense, camera quality without a doubt !

Thank you 😊 and I noticed I messed up the video edit at that time-stamp 😅 created a template to drop in my photos on the timeline but it didn't play nice with the wide aspect of that photo lol

Thank you so much ❤️ really glad you enjoyed it 🙏🤙

@@UpsideLens Always, I've been subscribed since I found your channel!

Thanks mate I really appreciate ❤️

Yes we've known these specs via several leaks for a while now. If they prove to be indeed 100% accurate I may skip it ! Give me larger pixels not more smaller ones ! That Samsung sensor is a terrible idea for many reasons as a photographer 😔

@UpsideLens The live image is out. It indeed is

😂 not a design flaw, manufacturing error of a small batch from one of their factories mate. Mine and millions of others don't have that issue thank god !

What's the problem with a let's hang out vibe ? 😂

@UpsideLens Oh, no! Sorry, not a native speaker of English - I meant it like "in addition to learning", not as in "except" 😅 All good things!

😂 no worries man 😉

Thank you 👍 really appreciate ❤️

Glad you asked for a 6 months later with the Xiaomi.... That's my next video 😂 no fogging (many haters bring it up, it was a batch of units that unfortunately had the issue) battery will last me comfortably a whole normal day with mixed WiFi/5G and still have 30% at the end of the day (if not shooting over 500 photos and countless video shots 😅) never gets hot unless charged at 90W, sound is ok, not iPhone good (ie not as bassy). Could t be any happier with it !

How dare trams and buses going past me when I'm trying to take a photo hey 😂 it was an awesome (but cold) day ! Cannot wait to go out and about and explore more what Manchester has in store for me and the channel 😊 once again thanks for the kind words ❤️ I'm really loving B&W at the moment and a few photographers are inspiring me at the moment with B&W and monochromatic shots so it might indeed show in my work 😅

+1

Great photos mate... I can't wait to get my hands on that phone 😄

Ahhhh my man thanks so much for the kind words but believe me, i haven't got an extra photography gene 🧬 lol like I always say it's about going out there and trying new things, failing, succeeding ! It's a process, just like anything else, the more you do it, the better you get at it ! So don't put yourself down mate, go out there and enjoy shooting anything you fancy ! Art is in the eye of the creator ! No one there to judge what you're doing 👌🤙

@UpsideLens Yeah agreed. I seem to have the eye for model, portraiture (which the Xiaomi isn't too consistent with), buildings and landscape but not so with people and street. TBH, they sort of annoy me, getting in the way 😂 but you're right, I'm "learning" to include them and "see" the character in street art. Keep up the great videos 👍

@paulbuckingham4676 thanks man 👍 and yeah we always got to keep re-inventing ourselves trying new things ! For me at the moment it's B&W and the monochromatic aspect of photography which a few photographers have inspired me to go and explore so that might be showing more in my work.

No I don't tbh, I either use the timer or a Bluetooth remote (which I used in some of the later shots of the tram) 👍

Yes mate 🙌 love the vibe Manchester has ! DM me on IG 👍

Thanks mate really appreciate 🙏❤️

Thank mate absolutely love it here ! Can't wait to know my way around better 😅

I'm really glad the videos helped you out ! The Xiaomi is indeed a really good place to start your street photography venture ! 🤙

Thanks man means a lot 🙏 tbh Manchester not that cold compared to Norwich 😅 only used the diffusion filter on all my day shots and ND for the long exposure stuff. I tend to use the ND only if I need to lock the shutter when recording b-roll for example, and for long exposure shots.

Thank you 🙏❤️ I'm only using part of the photography kit, the case, which allows me to use filters. The grip to me is useless, I've reviewed it when I first got the phone... No focus lock on half press on shutter button, so yeah useless to me. The "hot" country is indeed Morocco 😉 having said that it wasn't that hot in the morning... 6c 😬 afternoon climbed up to nearly 35c tho, was a nice change 👌

I will be making a video soon showing that it's 90% about composition and editing, not the phone itself ! I'll be using an OLD and CHEAP phone to prove the point 😉

Thank you so much I really appreciate the kind words ❤️🙏

Not sure yet, if they go for that high megapixel count telephoto sensor then I may skip... Give me bigger pixels any day, not more and smaller ones 🤦

@UpsideLens Yeah. You might be better off skipping. The lens setup looks ugly and they didn't change much. They will probably pull a canon m50 where they add features that in the previous version but not address core issues. Like it'll be something minimal I bet like being able to shoot 50 megapixels raw in all 4 sensors or something. And the ability for log on them and what not.

Substance over form any day, really couldn't care less what they do with the design as long as they don't butcher what they have already ! Unlike most other companies who struggle with the hardware aspect, Xiaomi needs to work on the software, to me it's the only blemish ! Need better camera UI, need better accessories integration (IE photo grip that doesn't even allow for locking focus or exposure on half pressing shutter button 🤦) clumsy photo app UI, need more actual PRO features like exposure and focus bracketing and why not being a pioneer and come up with RAW burst mode, no other manufacturer does that ! Hardware is more than able to do it (see what motion cam can do !!!) so yeah Xiaomi needs to up their game on stuff that actually matters if they want to affirm themselves as the photographers device of choice !

@UpsideLens Yeah your right. For me I want to see them innovate a little more too. Sony Xperia dominates when it comes to photography features imo but then lacks everywhere else which is the issue with these companies. They are known for being good at one specific thing that other companies don't have but then lacks the things that others don't lack if you know what I mean

@azuki2919 they need to get in touch, I'll give them the list of what they need to work on lol 😂

Thanks I really appreciate, I may do one in the future but these types of videos tend to get buried in the algorithm of the tube lol put simply most people don't watch them. To be completely honest people can't be bored to edit their photos lol they want a magic button that does it all for them 😂 I don't know man I'll see if I can work something out soon. I did make one last year, about an hour long going through a few photos in lightroom

@@UpsideLens I understand 😅. Unfortunately the algorithm doesn't necessarily favor quality content. And I get it... Most people avoid anything but the simple route. But I reckon the people that will be attracted to your channel aren't that type. Just like myself, they're probably photographic enthusiasts who happen to enjoy creators who put in the time to be authentic, honest and not give in to the "general consensus". People who are in search for the actual best, not the "average consumer" best... 🤦‍♂ Anyway, I hope your channel grows man and you enjoy your work more than before 🙂🙋‍♂.

Thanks man really appreciate 🙏 my next video this Sunday coming is actually all about how one really doesn't need a "proper" camera to do photography, highly recommend giving it a watch when it's out 😉

But this is a photography channel and purely based on the cameras the VI just doesn't cut it.

Yeah but don't forget it's still a phone. Photographers should get dedicated cameras and not use features in phones. People using phones for their photography aren't just going to use that feature so you can't really isolate it.

Unfortunately I do not have the phone to try it out, I honestly hope it fixed the major gripes I had with it during my time testing it 👍

Hey thanks 🙏 keep an eye peeled for the new one this Sunday 2.30pm GMT 😉 I only use ND filters when needed, for example if shooting b-roll where lighting is crucial or if taking long exposures in daylight. Otherwise no ND filters have very specific uses. What I do use very often though is my diffusion filter. It tends to give a nice roll-off on the highlights as well as giving light a more cinematic/ filmic look and also incidentally tends to ease the sharpening typical of digital photography. Hope that answers your question 👌

@UpsideLens Thank you ! Notification button pressed ! Looking forward to your upcoming videos !

@@zefe3886 thank you, I really appreciate 🙏

Indeed it was, I film all my videos with the phone I have at the time (except for the POV shots, those are filmed with the action cam) I talked about the video aspect towards the end of the video if you're interested in knowing what third party app I used and other stuff 👍

@@UpsideLens I watched the end but did not see where you spoke about the video. Are you using motioncam pro by any chance?

Motion cam is an option but for me it just doesn't tick all the boxes. For it to fully work you need to root your phone to take advantage of DCG and that's something I'm not prepared to do (I do a lot of banking on my phone) on top of that motion cam is a bit rough around the edges and for reliability I wouldn't be able to use it day in day out. That's why I use mcpro24fps for all my recording. 4K30/60 350mbs bitrate + Sony SLOG3 Cine colour gamut 👌

Lens fog ? Are you referring to a certain batch that got affected by that issue ? Non issue here. Just like any product out there some happen to be faulty, it just so happens that the minority experiencing the problem will be very vocal, way more so than the people not having the issue. Again never had that issue with mine, and I can tell you my 14 ultra has seen all extremes of temperatures lol

@ minority 😬lol, good luck.

You do you dude, if I listened to all the scaremongers out there I wouldn't buy chicken in case I catch salmonella, I wouldn't buy a car in case of a recall, I would never let a family member or friend buy a samsung phone in case the battery explodes, at this point if I let Reddit and social media govern my life I might as well stay locked up inside my house just in case anything happens lol that's being real for you 🤷

@ good grief what a drama queen, for engagement you’re better off leaving replying longer but as a southerner you cum and go quick so I suppose it’s to be expected 😅 I don’t care what you do or use.

🥱
