This looks pretty awesome! Kinda covers all the bases... - 1 tb Storage ✅ - Port for wireless mic ✅ - USB-C PD for battery bank ✅ Now, if they could take that, and build it into an ergonomic grip, with a mount for an anamorphic, it would be perfect.
Pledged for the 2TB one with hub. Forgot about the ergonomic grip reality. Like that option too. Hmmm. I'll have to think if there are any ways to modify this. :)
@@BCE-111 Yeah, I 3d printed a case for some other drives and hubs, but they were still a little clunky, this one is so much smaller, that I think it might be possible to create a compact system where you just slide the phone into it. I think there was another project that was trying to create a grip of some sort...Michael did a video on that, but I don't know its current status it's actually pretty cheap to get this lexar one though, and its useful to have a 2TB drive even without its phone use.
@@MaximoJoshua I have an Adonit grip that I like as it has a bluetooth shutter release right on it. But I don't think it would work with this straight up with the hub. It is open along the bottom where the C port is though, so I can probably use the SSD itself although the C connector is offset. Was trying to think of different ways to make it work. But as mentioned just having so small a 2TB SSD is valuable in itself. Right now I have 2 2TB SAMSUNG T7 Shield drives and one 4TB one. Paid $100 and $120 for the 2TB ones now selling for $180. And paid $230 for the 4TB one now selling for $315. So I'm good. :) Looking forward to receiving it to see how it works. Hope it can maintain continual longer shoots without dropping frames. Same specs though as the SAMSUNG T7 Shield drives.
@@BCE-111 there was one project by quipdesign, which was a cinema grip, seems similar to this... in the past, I wanted the hub to have an HDMI, but now with remote monitoring, I don't need that nearly as much.
I purchased a iPhone 15 Pro Max last week and found your channel while looking for a setup that would not block the magsafe connection to allow for the Gimbal connection. The timing of your video was perfect. Just pledged/purchased the 1TB with the media hub. Feel confidant this goes true. Nice to see Lexar get ahead of the market. I suspect there will be similar products out soon.
@@thebugasproject Agreed - likely paid a small premium price to buy it this month - but had to upgrade and enjoying the phone which I'll likely keep for 3+ years. My old iPhone XR was lagging terribly and needed to be replaced. iPhone 16 specs (if true) - look to be a bigger screen for the Pro Max 6.9 instead of 6.7.
SSD + Velcro 😃 I’ve Velcro’d the back of my iPad and MacBook, so I can stick an SSD the back of it or a portable power bank I can now freely carry around the devices whilst they are transferring data or charging off the power bank 😊
Cool! But nothing beats HAGIBIS m.2 SSD enclosure. It’s MagSafe, it’s can allow powering iPhone with additional type-c input and HAGIBIS has version with additional usb input for wireless microphone systems (3 type-c ports total!!!).
Have you seen this in action? I just see the two port one reviewed. I like the MagSafe idea especially when you can add a fan on top for shooting in the heat.
No it needs to be better. It needs to be attached to a battery that supports your port better so over time it won't destroy the port. Like a bottom slip on that used your frame.
Michael,, I cannot see any indication in this vidéo, as to how the Lexar hub or ssd is attached to the back of your phone, can you please give an indication thanks,, I does not appear to be attached using magsafe.
I keep hitting your videos Michael and enjoying them. Though doing this puts food on the table for you and your family, you are one of the very few that come across like you’re doing a late night infomercial. Or just sounding like you don’t even believe a thing that’s coming out of your mouth. I hope you can appreciate my compliment and what it does for people that rely on these reviews before they buy something that may be very expensive for them. I thank you for that sir. I’m fascinated with what Lexar is doing in this segment which is rapidly picking up speed. I think this product appears to be an impressive piece of engineering and for what it does, will be a game changer for so many consumers. I almost hit the buy button after the first minute of your video, but got to thinking how very much I like to leave a case on my phone at all times. I actually drop mine from time to time. So I’ll stick to the slightly more cumbersome method of larger and heavier (slightly) components with clamps and wires until such a time they make this kind of amazing small solutions that are usable with nutty persons such as myself that want to keep their case on. Again, thanks for your reviews and allowing us to see what gear you claim to use frequently, which suits my tastes very well. You give some great ideas to change some of my current stuff around and based on your recommendations, I think there’s integrity and good taste in your choices. Cheers brother and make hay!
I just got the 15 pro max and I’ve been following you for a while before. Inspired me to get the pro max. I’m a photographer and I’m trying to get into making content now. Thanks.
Got this for the 16 pro and it works great but because it doesn’t sit flat against the back of the phone it just doesn’t feel secure and wobbles. Great concept but poorly executed
I wonder: -Freewell Sherpa filmmaking case and extendable grip kit with magnetic mist filter. -This Kickstarter Lexar SSD with USB port. -Hollyland Lark M2 wireless mic and only the USB-C receiver port. I wonder if this set up would/could be a good, small/minimal, and fast iPhone setup…
Preordered my Lexar GoHub with a 1TB SSD. Finally arrived yesterday after waiting weeks. DOA. The SSD doesn't seat properly into the hub or any USB-C port on either my MacBook Pro or Mac Studio. Already did the return through Amazon. Sad there was no QC on this device as this is an obvious item to catch in a QC process.
If I were you Michael, I’d ask who makes the drive? Is it proprietary ? Or is it mass market? The reality is that’s footage and it’s precious. You don’t entrust all your work to untrusted, untested, unknown drive resource simply because you like the form factor. That form factor has me thinking it’s the Western Digital SN770M NVMe drive. It’s small enough to be that. And if it’s that drive … it’s got a 90% fail rating on Amazon. I’ve had a few of those small form factor 1 tb drives and I’ve never had one that actually worked. Except for the Samsung packaged drives.
Thanks just placed a order for one, best setup thus far. Question, would the hdd & hub be damaged for longterm use in landscape filming? going to the iphone 16 and I'm wondering with our right hand on top of the hdd & hub it could weaken the USB-C port.
Hi, Finally a real minimalist solution. One question - in which part of the video can I see the setup appears on the thumbnail of this video - the mic plugged in but without the cage?
Michael, thank you for these videos. Just purchased your IPhone film making guide, I am grateful for the discount, totally new to making video on IPhone, so hope to learn much more from you. Best wishes from Scotland.
Thanks, Michael, this hits the spot. Hoping the improved 16 Pro mics will let me omit an external mic for 3-minute song performance clips and use a mini setup as described here.
im confused so iphone does allow external storage ? over usb c? so you can live record to this? You can take photos and it saves to the ssd and not the phone? iphone 16 conmpatabile? couldnt somone make a case with this built in and maybe a small battey and or something
This looks great! Wonder why Lexar put it on kickstarter? Anyway, a couple questions. Compatible with Lightning (iPhone 14 Pro)? Does it record directly to the device, or do you have to transfer manually using Files app?
I see now these are the same as the SAMSUNG T7 Shields I use. From their FAQs. "What are the read and write speeds? What type of cable connectivity does it use? Lexar Professional Go Portable SSD with Hub features read speeds up to 1050 MB/s and write speeds up to 1000 MB/s. It uses a USB 3.2 Gen 2 high-speed interface for connectivity."
Does it work to connect to the camera / any camera such as the dji camera for the video to go automatically inside the SSD. And is it compatible with apple log? Thanks!
That all looks great,but my major problem, it doesn’t work with a case. Don’t know about you, but I have never let my iPhones go naked! And since my original 3G I have never had one damaged.
So I bought the lexar and hub and just wondering why I'm getting the flashing exclamation mark on the record button in the app? Tried this Lexar SSD and hub and also a T5 Samsung SSD.
What record settings do you have? That exclamation means you’re dropping frames. Usually means the codec/frame rate you’re trying requires more data speed than the card allows. For example if you’re trying ProRes HQ on higher frame rates you’ll run into issues most likely. I shoot on ProRes LT and I find both those SSDs work fine.
Iphone is the best phone and a camera at this point, I have iPhone SE 2020, and even its quality is awesome, as I have Gopro 12 for Moto Vlogs and also use CMF Phone 1, but Iphone is the best tool I have, when it comes to capture the moment. EDIT: Recently i saw the news the 28 weeks later's sequel is being filmed on bunch of iPhone 15's, I mean how cool is that
Thanks for this, that’s amazing. Which audio wireless mic setup do you prefer for run/gun setups? I bought the first rode go and sent it back as it kept dropping connection, but I imagine it’s improved by now and I’ve heard the DJI ones have issues also? Im travelling soon for a shoot and am trying to find a way to not bring all my production gear for this one so looking at making the iPhone do the ‘street-stuff’. Looking through the rest of your vids for advice on setup etc. I doubt these kickstarters will be ready sadly before I go or I’d def order them now.
Does it support AV output in case I want to connect my iphone to an external monitor? I know of another solution/enclosure that provides two extra usb 3.2 ports and for a cheaper price. Not sure if it's ok to mention the name or not.
This SSD looks great and the early bird discount is tempting. I get that Lexar is sponsor of the video but any additional information on this thing? Does this overheat like crazy? Is the speed good enough and on par with larger form factor ssd? Is this a valid solution to use on a computer (it can be very useful to use on a laptop without cables dangling)
Hasn’t overheated on me and I just got back from a couple day trip where I filmed A TON with it. SSD seems on par for speeds with all over fast drives now days. I loved using it directly from the phone to my iPad to my Mac. Seamless small and quick. Sponsor or not if there were any major red flags I would mention it in the video. The only caution I will throw out is I’ve only had it for about a month so all I can honestly say is so far it’s my favorite iPhone SSD setup so far.
i wish they had a minimal setup that allowed you to use a case. doesn't work for me as i don't want to remove my case every time i want to film, but still dope that these kinds of things are being made!
@@initialfocus weird I guess i can’t find that shot! I see how it can work with the long cable, but the more minimalist setup doesn’t seem like it would, at least with the Peak Design case, but maybe I just can’t tell from the videos and photos.

do you know if this set up works with the DJI osmo Mobile 6 gimbal?
Can the adaptor be used on a laptop to charge?
how about iphone 13 pro? do you have lightning to usbc?
i wish they had a minimal setup that allowed you to use a case. doesn't work for me as i don't want to remove my case every time i want to film, but still dope that these kinds of things are being made!
I have a shot in this video showing that it fits with a basic case just fine
@@initialfocus weird I guess i can’t find that shot! I see how it can work with the long cable, but the more minimalist setup doesn’t seem like it would, at least with the Peak Design case, but maybe I just can’t tell from the videos and photos.
where is that shot?
Pretty nice set up i would love to make some videos using iphone 16 when it comes out pretty soon
Does that mini male-male adapter work if I have an Otterbox / Lifeproof / Mous case?
That’s great. I’m buying it right now.
Hi Michael,
For long form recording, what’s been your longest runtime before any overheating
Everyone of those who promoting the small ssds for for iphone , always demonstrate only cage set up with , but no one of them hasen't says how to apply it for a mobile gimbal
So can this be used with a case???
2:24 "adds to the drop protection".. If you drop your phone with that plugged into the bottom.. You're gonna have a bigger problem than a couple scratches.. That USB, will break off that thing... I use a Samsung T5 drive and tiny cable with my 16 P.M.
This has been the exact reason why I have not used an external hard drive because I always record with my iPhone but I also have a microphone plugged into it and would regular heart drives you cannot use the microphone
quick question: how does it fit if you have a case of the phone. I have the Litechaser 15 and would really rather it not interfere lol
Can we use the same on iPad mini7
Is there a connector for lightning so it works on an iPhone 14 Pro Max?
If you are already running a wire to your bag for the battery, you can put your storage in the bag, too.
I am cancelling my pledge
