    This is cool and all but really that practical compared to carrying around a DJI Pocket 3. 4K 60FPS shot in Log on a mechanical gimbal that could fit in a big pocket.
    I purchased the iPhone 15 Pro for my property videos because it has the largest wide-angle lens on the market right now. I pair it with my Insta360 Flow and Rodecaster Mic Pro for great audio and video.
    I have the DJI Pocket 3 for every other type of video I'm interested in capturing on the go.
    Thanks for the video. It was interesting to see different ways to tackle these problems.

    • @thesavagefilmmaker

      Personally I think the Pro Res image coming from the Iphone is better than the DJI Pocket 3 in terms of latitude of colour adjustment in post. Also Your phone is always in your pocket the DJI Pocket 3 is an extra thing to have in your pocket. But if your system works for you, more power to you.

    I prefer using a mic and ssd on a hub. There is a HUGE difference between a tiny iPhone cage and an fx3 rigged up.
    I got the neewer cage, and a K&F VND, and I can use the cold shoes to put mic and ssd, and it’s a tiny bit bigger, but the beauty of the cage is you slide your phone in when you want to film and out when you are done.
    I am looking at using the 180 degree adapter for the hub, then another for the ssd.

      I didn't but, I did consider it, I just think that you really want to place it right where the SSD is. So it would be slightly awkward placed next to the SSD. However it would still work well for Selfies and placing it on a tripod.

    Thanks for pointing me in the direction of using the small NVME SSD and enclosure. I had been doing something exactly the same using both thumb drives for iPhone 13 and a Crucial X9 pro / X10 pro SSDs with a MagSafe wallet. Having a compact iPhone setup in your pocket yields a lot of good B roll shots for me when I least expect it. I also use the Hohen M6 and the one LUT. Having the BMC app also generate proxy files for ProRes is a big benefit when I bring everything into Resolve. So much power and technology at our disposal these days.

    Hi man! , this is the best video I have seen so far on this topic (and I have seen a lot of them since I am analyzing in depth the possibilities of iPhone 15 vs Osmo Pocket 3). impressive work. instant subscription! thank you.
    The main reason why I started this analysis is that I'm going to start an interview project on UA-cam. which I want to record with two cameras: one frontal and another that goes from 45 degrees to 90 degrees framing the interviewee.
    Watching this video led me to visit your channel and watch the video “IPhone 15 Pro: A true Cinema Camera?” ¨
    in which you mention at 3´ and 26 ¨ that the iPhone 15 does not perform as well as a camera for portraits and close-ups and that is something fundamental for my project, since I do not want the iPhone and its camera man to be so close to the interviewed.
    Do you think that if I added some iPhone lenses to this setup that you propose here, it could improve this problem? If so, do you consider any superior to others?
    Because until now the comparison between the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 and the iPhone 15 Pro, considering the pros and cons of both for my project, the setup that you put together works better for me. It's just that this problem of close-ups and portraits has caused me to rethink whether this is the best for me.
    Would you be so kind as to give me your opinion on this matter, please?
    I thank you at the same time as I apologize for the length of the text.
    Cheers! 😄

    • @thesavagefilmmaker
      @thesavagefilmmaker  Місяць тому

      I think the iphone is not the best camera for your specefic use case. I also don't think the Osmo Pocket 3 is that good an option. They will both be good for the wide angle and they will both be not so good for the close-up angle (if you are using two) I do not have much experience with Iphone lenses, but from what I've seen, they are not amazing quality. Personally I'd recommend find a couple of cheaper 'normal' camera's for interviews, or use one Iphone and one normal camera. Something like the Blackmagic pocket 4k and a lens will cost potentially less than the iphone and could be a good alternative for the type of project you're talking about.

      So for those with the issue that the phone won't read the SSD when plugged in. You just need to format/initialise the SSD drive using your computer first. On mac this simply means plugging the SSD in, opening 'Disk Utility' selecting the SSD drive and formatting it to ExFat and naming it. Once formatted it will be readable by your Iphone. I don't own a PC but believe you can do exactly the same process using Disk Management with Window.

      So for those with the issue that the phone won't read the SSD when plugged in. You just need to format/initialise the SSD drive using your computer first. On mac this simply means plugging the SSD in, opening 'Disk Utility' selecting the SSD drive and formatting it to ExFat and naming it. Once formatted it will be readable by your Iphone. I don't own a PC but believe you can do exactly the same process using Disk Management with Windows. Once formatted it will now show up when you plug it into your iphone.

I have Sabrent gen4’s that don’t work (not 2230). If confirmed, it might be that the enclosure chip limits the power use or downgrades the speed to 10gb (but that’s a guess).
