    Quick Tip every one
    I used my iPhone for one of my videos when i ran out of battery on my camera I didn't have a stabilizer so I flipped my Starbucks coffee cup around cut two slits on the opposite sides of it and put my phone inside horizontally it works really well just grab the cup from the bottom and start recording

    as always, you are one of my favorite creators and I loved hearing you talk about iphone videography! I've actually been making videos with my iphone for about 5 months now, maybe 3 months ago I upgraded with 3 moment lenses and the DJI osmo mobile... people are many times shocked that I shoot with my iphone. I also struggled between 4k and 1080 but once I stopped shooting in 4k I was much happier! so these are all things I've delved into myself but it was just very reassuring to hear you backing me up ;) also my next step is getting a manual app! that is absolutely the next step for me and my videos. curios how your gimbal works with the lenses? I had to counter balance my osmo mobile due to the lenses... hope this comment finds you well, thomas always a pleasure!

    I used to have go pro 4k black and panasonic mlsr camera. However...Panasonic broke when it fell on the ground. Go pro battery is pure sh.. and it last maximum 20 min. Now I use Samsung S7. It can do 4k, but I don't use it. So I am doing all my travel videos (i travel on the bicycle ) using phone and it is so much better. Sooooo much better. Battery last long and it has good stabilization. It is perfect ;)

    Thanks for video Thomas! In your gear list you recommend the shoulderPod as a stabilizer. I think this might be cheaper alternative for Zhiyun Smooth even if it is not so powerful. By the way I am thinking about going for your Steady Shots solution. Are there any iPhone related tips? Or is it related only for "real" cameras? Thanks and keep up good work!
