    I love the portability of my iPhone on my gimbal, I’ve been working with that for years and recently with the DJI Mic attached, but it’s been time to upgrade the quality of my images. So this weekend I finally got the FX30 with a 15mm f1.4 prime lens! Can’t wait to start using this setup; it’ll still be portable!
    I had been saving for a new M1 Mac Studio but later decided upgrading to better image quality is more important right now.

    I think a Fujifilm X-T4 is a great pick too, at around 1,200 used. 4k60 Internal, HD240 for super slow mo (although the 120 looks a little better) 4:2:2 external, IBIS, a good selection of beautiful prime lenses, great color science, and also great at taking photos with beautiful JPegs. Autofocus isn't excellent, but people that REALLY want to become film makers should learn to manual focusing anyways, unless you're just trying to shoot weddings or certain unplanned events where it's hard to dial in focus. In those cases I think auto focus is more important.

Higher cost up front but it pays for itself FAST. Now I only refill once every few months for $13 for a 5lb bottle instead of $15 for like a 20oz bottle.

I however would've loved to get a traditional camera. My fear here is, I can't go above £1000 for the camera and lens (and needed any accessories). It would really suck to get a camera who's quality is less than that of my phone. I felt that way when I got the GoPro hero 10 and only kept it because of its durability and stabilization with good lighting. What do you think?

    I would have liked to see my favorite camera, the DJI Pocket 2 mentioned. It shoots a stabilized 4k video and is a LOT cheaper than flagship phones with comparable stabilized video. There are surely others like me, who just want a camera to shoot videos of my family for personal use without too much of a hassle, in which case Pocket 2 is the best choice in my opinion.

    Would be really cool to see you try filming with the Fujifilm film recipes!

    That background at 4:42 would be so cool for a full video. You should do that next.
