Getting my phone tomorrow and I am looking at all the rig parts now. 🎉🎉 let’s go!!
And to think, Apple avoided the USB-C interface for so long! These devices are so much more useful now.
Super cool rig setup.
Finally the setup I had in mind!! ❤
This was helpful. Thank you.
Brilliant and super helpful! This is great content!
Thank you so much for this great video the iPhone 15 is truly a game changer. I am definitely looking into getting one.
Thanks a ton for making this video. I’ve been watching a lot of videos on this topic and this fills in all the gaps and is an actually workable rig vs some Frankenstein setup.
I'm glad it was helpful!
just what i’ve been searching for . thanks.
Great Setup!!!
Great lesson on setting up a UA-cam studio. Thank you.
Thank you!
Impressive breakdown! I'm trying to build a simplified version and you just answered few questions I had. Subbed and thanks a lot.
Thank you!
Great info!
This is exactly what I've been looking for! I'm so glad I found your channel. Just subbed and liked! Great video and the video quality looks amazing...thank you!
Thank you so much!
Beautifully instructive and well wrapped! Any plans on sharing how to use iPhones 15 Pro (max) for broadcasting/streaming when used as main cameras?
Great video
Great info! I just subscribed to your channel!
Thank you!
Great job covering the options, I love the set lighting. I did have a couple different detail questions. 1: I was wondering what is the mount holding the USB-C hub that you were using. I haven't been able to find one for that purpose. and 2: Is the Blackmagic iPhone app (which I love but is still pretty new to me) able to take in multiple USB-C audio inputs and put each on it's own separate channel (1 or 2)? As in, one channel recording a handheld or lav mic and another a nat sound mic like a usb shotgun? I'm trying find out more before buying the wrong gear.
Great video! I found a lot of value in the vid. You have a new subscriber, my friend! Keep it up!!
Thank you so much!
Great video! If you don't mind me asking, what is that stand that you use for phone and lighting called?
any links for the cable harnesses? Any plan on doing a video more in-depth on the camera app features and basic setup. TIA
Hello, very cool video! Please tell me how you color grade this video? What lut do you use?
Audio so far recommendations is the rode that monitors in realtime with two inputs
Thanks for sharing! So you’ve connected an external monitor to your iPhone, and are looking at this while recording?
Thks for input congrats! BM camera app don´t work to adjust audio levels, iPhone 15 Pro updated so, useless that feature.
I got a hub, and I was able to use HDMI out, power delivery in, DJI Mic, and external SSD. I have been exploring like a variable scenario setup.
Minimalist: Only SSD, use local recording on DJI mic
Gimbal: DJI Osmo Mobile 6, local recording on DJI Mic
Portable: Cage + Wireless Mic + SSD (maybe monitoring)
Static: Tripod + Mic + SSD + HDMI monitoring + wall power
One thing I have been looking at is the monitoring portion, you can use Airplay in a lot of cases, like to a Macbook Pro or an Apple TV, which works pretty well. You can also use AirDroid Cast to screen mirror to an iPad or iPhone. I actually have an old iPhone X that I was thinking about using as a monitor, I agree that you don't need all the features for the monitor, as its mainly about checking framing. I was also looking at getting an Atomos Ninja V or Shinobi as a monitor.
I really hope that BMC adds support for Apple Watch to start/stop recording and for monitoring.
Thank you! Do you think I could start shooting my podcast episodes with this set up instead of buying a video camera like the Sony FX30?
Wow. Information overload in a great way. My question for you... Im just getting into vlogging and currently usin a 17"ring light for lighting. I would like to add a SSD drive and would like aclamp for the SSD external drive. Also using Rodes Go II wireless mikes that I would like to clmp on. Where does a novice person begin? Any information is greatly appreciated.
I bet your next video will be "how I connect my fridge to my iPhone 15 pro Max rig"
Hahahahahhahahaha 😂
Thank you for your video. I doubt, I understand properly, so would you mind telling me, if I can record 4K video on external microSD card via this hub or not, please? Anyway best wishes to upcoming 2024!
Excellent information. I have a question. I duplicated your setup purchasing all the same items. I have a couple problems one the video HDMI cable into the hub interferes with the holder. I May have to find one with a narrower connector. The bigger problem is the monitor. When I plug-in everything. Even with the camera in the horizontal mode, the image on the monitor is vertical and sideways.it does not go horizontal and display the same as the phone. I’ve looked everywhere for a setting to change and rotate that image but it won’t. Did you have an issue with this and how did you solve it?
Great video and similar to the set up I’m piecing together. I’ve got a field monitor now but am still working out the best hdmi cable for this set up. What is the cable you’re using as you didn’t mention it in your video. Thanks
Thanks! The HDMI cable I was using is from ZILR bought at B&H Photo but unfortunately I've heard newer ones are not as reliable as the older ones from a couple years ago. But a similar cable that I also have that works great is the SmallRig ultra-thin cable. They have a couple options of shorter lengths that are great for running from a camera to monitor and they're not bulky or overpriced. www.amazon.com/SmallRig-Flexible-Supports-Ethernet-Camcorder/dp/B08LYST3GK
Do you have a link for a power supply or batteries that works with the monitor?
Is it possible to get a video-out signal from the iPhone via the blackmagic app and use it as a webcam with LUTs etc?
About the external monitor, via HDMI, have you been running into overheating?
can you reccomend a time codeing device to add to the setup?
Do anyone have a second option power option for the power bank isn’t available
Hi, Did you notice any overheating problem with the iPhone? Is it posible to keep it cool ?
hi have you recorded live music using just the phone mic ?
Hey there! Great video I’m trying to make my own rig now, What are the drawbacks of doing this with a 5gb usbc hub instead of a 10gb
Thanks! The main thing is just that the bandwidth available is going to be shared by all the devices that you connect. That being said, 5Gbps bandwidth is 5,000Mbps/sec and that should still be plenty to record externally and still connect other devices as needed. Even high quality video codecs including 4:2:2 10-bit usually encode at rates between 150 and 200 Mbps, so there would still be plenty of bandwidth leftover. I personally just like to be maxed out when possible but if your hub supports 5Gbps speeds that should be plenty.
Can you help? I'm looking for a simple iPhone holder for a tripod that will work with a MagSafe battery on the back. Something that can hold the iPhone with the thickness .
So, how long can this set of equipment record without dropping frames when capturing video and audio to the storage card while connecting to an HDMI display? Can it sustain recording 4K30 frames for one hour without issues?
Do I need the iPhone 15 Pro to do this or will be standard iPhone do pretty much the same thing are there any differences in Camera?
Does the monitor still shows 4K 60 footage even tho it’s not supported by the monitor?
Can I use a Rode Caster 2 with this setup or is that overkill…
Great video! What mounts do you use to hold the USB-C Hub?
Thanks! To hold the hub, I'm using an Ulanzi ST-03 smartphone mount connected to a SmallRig 5.5 inch magic friction arm.
What are the cables you are using?
Hi there. wow...quite a rig! I just got my 15pro max and I want a small shot gun mic for the phone. I have a Rode Videomicro and I wonder if all I need is a 3.5mm to USB-C adapter to make it work with the iphone.Previously this mic would get power directly from my sony FX30-will it get power from the phone? .Or do you know of any compact shot gun mic similar in size to the videomicro that already has a USB-C connector? trying to avoid using dongles and extra cables...thanks so much for your videos. Always awesome!
Thank you! A 3.5mm to USB adapter may work, but I will need to test it out myself to be sure. When plugged into a hub, I'm not sure if the iPhone will identify that you're connecting an audio device or not because of the adapter. I should be able to test that out though, I just have to find my adapter. I do know the Rode VideoMic GO II works well and has the built-in USB-C output. It actually sounds much better over the USB output than 3.5mm as well - I actually have a video about that because the sound is so different from the two outputs.
thanks! I also found a similar mic to the Rode- The comica VM10 PRO Camera Microphone Dual-Mode USB Shotgun Microphone-I will give it a try and if it doesn't sound good enough then I will try buying a VideoMic Go II- I prefer NOT to use adapters/dongles etc @@semiprotech
Im trying to figure out the ssd while using DJI 0s5
@SemiPro .. I used your links to pretty much buy your entire setup and I have a question. I am stuck at how to place the Ulanzi ST-03 that holds the USB-C hub on the cage. I know on one side the 5.5 friction arm holds it .. but how is it connected to the rig? or is the friction arm the only thing holding it into place?
I have one end of the friction arm screwed into a 1/4" mounting point on the side of the camera cage, and then the ST-03 screwed onto the other end.
@@semiprotech ahhhhh ok ok... So the only thing holding it in place is the friction arm.. got it.. thanks alot .. I appreciate it.. especially your set up..
@@semiprotech This is giving me issues like crazy .. I attached one end to the mounting point on the cage and the other to the ST-03.. but the end of the that is screwed into the ST-03 is floppy and just hangs .. The knob is turned as tight as it can be and it is still floppy and hangs..
Hello, please, I have a question. Is it possible to set up this setup with an iPhone 14 pro? Would the usb-c hub work with a lighting adapter?
The iPhone 14 Pro's lightning port doesn't have the same bandwidth as the 15's USB-C port, so a hub with multiple devices connected might be too much for it to handle (or recognize) and I don't believe an external monitor would work hardwired - though you could screen mirror to an iPad or Mac if you have one. You definitely can connect an external microphone with a lightning to USB adapter though, I did that many times with my 14 Pro before I had the 15.
For power from the wall? You can purchase 3 meter 100W PD & Data (10Gbps) and add 6.6foot USB C extension cord to your USB C hub. With the USB C hub I have, with 4 USB C 10Gbps and a PD port, no issues running the 15 Pro (no Dropped frames or freezing up). Also, USB C Lavalier Lapel mic, that I used in my testing.
My rig keeps dropping frames on my ssd why? And what hub did you try? Could it be my usb c hub? If I use black magic camera it doesn’t even show the ssd.
@@enkeierick Remember, the iPhone 15 Pro's do not deliver enough power for accessories as thought. 2. get a USB C Hub with a PD port. I bought the Selore&S-Global 4 port with PD port USB C hub & Basesailor USB C Extension Cable 6.6FT 2-Pack,Short Type C 3.1 Gen2 10Gbps 100w from Amazon. For road work, get a PD Power bank that outputs at least 65W, 100W preferred, so there's no issues with dropped frames.
Dropped frames comes from the SSD not able to handle the data being written to it. Or not enough power to write all the data fast enough.
I understand why most pick the Samsung SSDs, but I use SSK 1TB which is smaller but thicker. My main SSD is the ACASIS TBU405 40Gbps enclosure with Lexar 4TB NM790 NVMe. Indoor use: Small Rig Universal Phone Cage, USB C Hub with extension cable, USB C Lav mic and SSD. Outdoors use: for now, B Roll, with the SSD connected to a 6 foot 10Gbps cable sticking out of my pocket.
While my setup doesn't look pretty or Professional? I worry about getting the shot and making the shot pretty in post!!!
What about the m 2 SSD by smallrig
❤❤❤ 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 toooop
Appreciate all this info. You didn’t go into detail about the monitoring. I am using an iPhone 15 Pro Max and a fast usb-c hub with the Black Magic camera app. I have a usb-c to HDMI connector but was not able to get my 7” field monitor to work. Any advice?
Have you tried connecting the USB-C to HDMI cable directly into your iPhone? If that works, then it's possible your hub's USB-C port doesn't support display output over USB.
@@semiprotech Thanks so much for the quick reply! Yes with a usb-c to hdmi adapter monitoring works directly out of my Iphone 15 so it must be as you suggest the hub I got dose not support this. I think I will invest in the hub you are using which has an hdmi out built in. Also, have you recorded to SD cards through this hub? Thanks again for your generous advice.
@@flipout50 Yes I have! I used a V60 SD card and did not have a problem recording 4K 24fps using the hub's SD card slot. I would go for a V90 card if you plan to record in 4K 60fps though.
@@semiprotech Thank you!
Love the setup but how would one make a minimalist version of this setup lol
Did you format your ssd to Mac OS journalized extended or leave it as ex fat. Black magic camera is not showing my T7 and native camera app is recording slowed footage on the ssd z lastly where do you find the audio setting to control gain on black magic?
I formatted the SSD to APFS before using it with the iPhone and have not had any issues. For the audio control, you first have to go into the audio settings and select the external microphone. Then back in the camera view, tap on the audio meter an you should see the gain slider in the pop-up view.
Do you use any lens/filters for the 15 pro max? If so which ones? If not, do you know which ones would fit with this rig?
Indoors I do not use any filters or special lenses on the iPhone. I did recently get a Polar Pro phone case with the adapter to hold a 67mm lens filter because I have a variable ND filter in that size for my other cameras. I haven't had time to test it out yet, but it does fit inside the smallrig cage without causing any issues.
@@semiprotechmy biggest concern with the moment universal adaptor, the one where you tighten and twist on the back onto the screen and holds a lens in place is just how sturdy that actually is if the phone is moving. Smallrig had a magsafe one for the 14 pro max but since discontinued. And I don’t really wanna spend the money on a case that I wouldn’t use everyday I feel like removing my case for the case with lens every time I want to record is a hassle. A MagSafe ring with a lens attachment just is so much easier. Saw a diy video on something like this that I’ll probably end up doing as it’s 10x cheaper than any case and seems more sturdy and easier to use than the screw on universal lens mounts that moment and I think samdmarc have.
Isn’t it cheaper to get a sony a series camera, lens for your UA-cam setup
It would depend on a couple of things: if you already have the iPhone 15 Pro/Max because you just wanted that phone, then the cost of the additional setup is definitely less than a camera and lens. Also if you want 10-bit color which you get with ProRes Apple Log, then a mirrorless camera + lens is not likely going to be cheaper because the affordable models are likely going to have 8-bit color for video (out of the a6XXX line, only the most recent a6700 has 10-bit color). If you're ok with 8-bit color, then something like a Sony ZV-E10 ($698) plus a cheaper lens may come out less than the iPhone. I personally would recommend having a dedicated camera if you want to learn and expand your creative work, but if you've already got an iPhone 15 Pro/Max or are planning to get one regardless, it's a great way to get started. I would also point out that out of the gear I used, only the smartphone cage would not be useful if you get a camera eventually - everything else is still useful to have and can continue to be part of your setup in some way.
Did you film this video with your iPhone? If so, how did you accomplish the shallow DOF? Is it just lighting and post? Or do you have a special lens attached? Either way, if this was filmed on your iPhone, bravo!
my iphone 15 pro max says that it cannot use the accessory (monitor) because it’s too much power. any help?
You have to connect the monitor to an external battery pack
Wow, didn’t realize you could connect a mouse
One tip if using an SD card reader, make sure it is fast as well, most built-in ones I've seen in hubs are just UHS-I, so always double check!
Good call!
Now you just need to add a magsafe cooler to the iphone to keep it cool while recording
It would be nice if you make a video showing your work flow on using the iPhone and BMM app. I saw your frame rate is 24 but the shutter is 1/50 instead of 1/48
Also how to expose and use the false color. It’s different than a normal camera though
