Yeah they all fit perfectly there

My pleasure, thanks for the comment 🙏

Many thanks! Thanks for your support

No one said it’s “only” for iPhone by the way

Thank you so much for the kind comment, glad you appreciate the time and effort I put into this to find another alternative to what’s out there. Again these rigs have a lot of great ideas, but locking you in such limited ecosystems is not the best solution for filmmakers

I actually prefer such modularity. It literally takes 2 min anyway. Same time it takes you to open an already assembled SSD

Really glad you liked it, it was a great find actually for me as well. The company actually reached out to me and we’re working on an updated version. Stay tuned, I’ll announce it here once it’s ready

Naturally curious on what improvements you felt were needed. Definitely will keep my eyes open and subscribe, would be sweet if you had some sort of sponsored giveaway.@

@TheGothicHangman yeah there were many small things here and there that I’m customizing with them now and checking feasibility in staying within a reasonable price range. Can’t share anything of course. Still experimenting if we can make an already great product to be even better And yeah would surely check possibilities for giveaways, it’s always tricky though with international shipping though. Will figures it out

I’d say they’d just be very heavy and might be a bit unpredictable. Haven’t tested honestly

Didn’t test it. But it’s way faster than the max bitrate of the phone. So it should be infinite amount of minutes till the drive fills up

Correct, it’s a DIY solution. There are many types of SSDs with different capacities, speeds and from different brands that’s why

This is a channel about filmmaking, not journalism. Perception 101 under Life Skills teaches how to understand what you’re looking at. You’d not get a passing grade in this freshman level class.

I already have a 1TB iPhone: 1-shooting in Prores would last you 2-3 shoots max, depending on how much you shoot 2-if the internal storage fills up in the middle of the shoot, what do you do? You need external storage. 3-it’s a lot faster to just pull out the SSD and connect to your computer to copy your footage than to use your phone to copy, which again you might still need for your shoot

@ cool cool

Glad it was helpful!

Format the drive in exFAT file system on your PC or Mac before connecting it to the phone.

Yeah it’s probably a formatting issue

@@Dz_M3 It is formatted in ExFAT and wont recognize no matter what I do. I had to download firmware to try and fix it but still is useless. This kinda sucks. Thanks anyway.

@@CJ-lj4gj Which enclosure is it, JEYI or BIBABLYKE? WD SN770M SSD may pull up to 4.95 Watts, more than iPhone can provide when attached to it directly. A hub with an external power may help overcome the wattage issue. Return this drive and get one with a power draw of less than 4 Watts, for example, Silicon Power UD90, Sabrent Rocket, Corsair MP600 Mini, or KINGSMAN MP530.

Yup 👍

@@THEDPJOURNEY thanks! how many minutes does this support to record in 120fps 4k prores?

I only tested for 1 min and it was well within the range. I also tested its speed barrier and the result was that I can theoretically handle 230fps sustained. But how many minutes anyway would anyone need to be shoot in 120 fps?

I already addd the link to everything in the pinned comment, but here they are again for your convenience: Enclosure: Jeyi 2230: geni.us/GlXK6 SSDs: Crucial P310: geni.us/DPJM2CRUICIAL WD Black SN770: geni.us/DPJNVMeWD1TB

If you noticed, I didn’t claim it’s “not” for android. For me, since I only own an Apple phone, I would talk about my personal experience with it on Apple. What if I recommend it to Samsung for example and then realize it has issues with them after someone like you points it out. My policy: share “my” experience only. Not here to claim anything for any brand as you suggested

@THEDPJOURNEY fair point. It's just confusing/frustrating cause SO many people are like "this is for iphone" but its literally just a phone mount or something simple. And now with integrating USB-C I've already heard multiple people say "iphone type c". Now that the connectors are the same, we should be bridging the gap but it seems others are finding ways to divide it even more.

@MrAce5022 hahaha, yeah I hear you. Many iPhone owners think there’s no other phone than APPLE. But rest assured, I’m fully aware USB-C is not an Apple invention, or even Android for that matter. Android was smart enough to use it early on. When Apple chose the greedy route with proprietary lighting cable to cash in! With that said, I know that Android users probably have 2-3 of these already, so i didn’t bother addressing them (you’re already know it works for yours without me saying it). I was just relaying my experience for fellow iPhoners who are still exploring the USB-C world

What do you mean? SSD is for storage, it's not a hub

@@THEDPJOURNEYhe means, how he can use external mic and ssd at the same time-for example I want to use my shotgun mic and this ssd - I own IPhone 13 Pro. So, I will need some kind of hub for this matter, am I right?

@Artyom_Karelsk oh ok. 👌 have this other episode that has such scenario, but it won’t work for 13 though, since you need a USBC hub to connect to your phone kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2fFiIpqiNJ7qNU

@@THEDPJOURNEY understood, thank you mate!

It has a pass through hole in the enclosure itself to loop it through and keep both pieces together. They did it in a very clever way that you can't se it. I just prefer not having it, that's why you don't see it in my video

Hahaha… Well, I just keep my notification on as I’m working to answer as much as I can, when I can. Thanks for the compliment, and Happy to help!

​@@THEDPJOURNEY you just earned another subscriber, friend 😊

@Glowberry-emoji Glad to have you aboard, you won’t regret it :) Gotta admit, I’m actually working on another episode now, that’s when I’m more prompt in responding. I’m not usually that prompt 🙈. Hope I won’t dissapoint next time you comment

Yes, I tested it shooting in ProRes HQ 120P and it works fine

I would just buy 2 of these, similar to what you'd do with CF Express for example. Also helps to let one cool off while the other is in use

How has it been working for you so far?

@THEDPJOURNEY best

I assume it'll work since the 13 is similar to the 14 in terms of dimensions, and this works on the 14

Thanks for the comment, you’re absolutely right about the SSD getting hot, but did you try that at 120 fps in ProRes? 4.0 is kind of future proof and can help copy or even edit faster in your computer For the top handle, I use my older phone as a wireless monitor. I saw some $50 wireless iPhone monitors pop up these days as well that might be good to consider. Haven’t tested them though, but I know they’re not the best quality and not the brightest for outdoor

@@THEDPJOURNEY I haven't tried 120 fps in ProRes. These enclosures are 10Gbs limited. Both PCIe 3.0 and 4.0 NVMes are handicapped by NVMe to USB controller, and show similar sequential and random speeds depending on a drive brand. I've tested and verified it. There are no such tiny enclosures with USB-C-4 or Thunderbolt yet to consider future proofing. I'll take a cooler drive today. Thanks for the tip on wireless monitoring with another iPhone.

Which SSD would you recommend then. I went for this one since I already tested and it worked perfectly. But it’s power hungry anyway

What do you mean by power hungry? Does WD SN770M drive work in enclosures without external power source? Some NVMe drives do require external power as they pull more than 4.5W iPhone can provide - kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHLVkGOXjKica9E I read that WD SN770M drive can get to 82°C under load. How long can it sustain continuous recording in 4K 60p ProRes HQ with your setup #1 (direct-attached to iPhone)? I would recommend getting an NVMe drive in a desired capacity from a merchant with an easy return process. Test it in your environment with your codec requirements. Also, pay attention to the controller selection in the USB-C enclosure. JMicron JMS583 seems to be less efficient than Realtek RLT9210. I’ve tried these two NVMe drives in BIBABLYKE Enclosure (RLT9210 controller) on iPhone 15 Pro: 1) SP UD90 2230 PCIe 4.0 x4 1TB (SU01KGBP44UD9007BH) 2) AITC KINGSMAN MP530 2230 PCIe 3.0 x4 1TB (KSMP530M1TB223) As I’ve noted above, both run at similar speeds in a 10Gbs enclosure according to CrystalDiskMark benchmark. However, there are two noticeable differences: 1) MP530 runs ~10°C cooler; 2) MP530 can record in 4K 60p ProRes HQ continuously from empty to full, while UD90 starts dropping frames at 28 min mark, due to either thermal throttling or SLC cache exhaustion. Surprisingly, a PCIe 3.0 NVMe can be a more suitable solution for continuous recording, albeit at a slightly higher cost.

Did you notice that if you connect the smallrig cage via MagSafe, the lenses won’t be aligned to the filter mount? And with my setup, if you wanna use anamorphic, you can use the brewer case instead : geni.us/iPhn16PMNEEWERCS

Actually I did see that today,sending it back. I then checked out your setup and the MagSafe lens adapter will not arrive until one week after we leave for our trip Might just end up taking my BMPCC Rig set up as normal. Wanted to try the minimalist approach this trip.

Yeah the smallrig cage has a lot more design quirks that really boggled my mind. I wonder how did Brandon let them release it with his name on it despite all these drawbacks. That’s why I told then I won’t review it after they sent it to me. Anyway, hope you enjoy my suggestions on this DIY rig

I would use this case instead of the one I have in the video geni.us/iPhn16PMNEEWERCS

It’s NVME 2230 You’ll find the links in the pinned comment

My pleasure, thanks for your support

You said it, recording H265 is the only solution (not the better solution) in these 2 cases: 1-you don’t have a SSD and you want to record in high speed, which won’t be possible internally 2-if you’re running out of space either internal or external

Thank you so much for the kind words, welcome aboard and hope to see your feedback on my other videos as well. Thanks again.

Thank you so much for the compliment, it would really help if you like share and subscribe to hopefully spread the word about the channel, hopefully soon will reach the million 👍👍
