[@sarahbaron9914]

These are amazing and extremely useful tips. Great job and I can't wait to try these out.

[@Connief1990]

Great video. Just wondering why so many views though??... If it had say just 100,000 views I wouldn't be surprised.

[@TheCooph]

Kieran Fitzpatrick We're guessing it's because smartphone photography interests a lot of people?

[@kompromist.]

Maybe because of such articles ... diply.com/different-solutions/video-smartphone-photography-tips-tricks/87315

[@oxoConstantinEoxo]

Alltagskrieger looing at the title of the article makes me think than an iphone shouldnt be even called a smartphone :D

[@oxoConstantinEoxo]

Kieran Fitzpatrick basicly because since last years smartphones has been sold in over 1,5bil units. Same number as PC, laptops, desktops since 1976 :P Almost everyone has a smartphone of some kind :)

[@stopinthename2001]

[@Zigoeight]

Ingenious ideas done on a smartphone. Now we can enjoy such creative shots without a professional camera!

[@bibicola9098]

bravo il fotografo ! proverò subito a mettere in pratica i suoi consigli !

[@StansTechVideos]

You don't actually have to turn your iPhone upside down if you want to take a panorama drive by, you can just tap on the arrow and it will switch the panorama direction

[@Ahmadsyar]

now that is one trick that is fundamental

This is a complete reference file with examples of how common light modifiers affect portrait photographs. Reviewing this before a shoot will save you time by giving an idea of what light modifiers should be chosen based on the desired mood. plus.google.com/b/114613924873974887764/114613924873974887764/posts/3pJyxGTfRCf

OH MY GOD! you guys are so awesome! thank you

[@RJhotel]

This is awesome. Thanks man👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@orbitingneptune]

Do you have the dimensions for the tripod ?

[@tonymozorov5713]

size doesn't matter

[@zephirothia]

guys ur so freaking cool!!!

[@TheCooph]

blush ;) Thank you sephiaRezzar !

[@ktraish]

Not only informative but hysterical as well. Love it 😊

[@sofieverhulst6594]

These tips and tricks are really amazing!

[@MsMrsBeautiful]

COOPH how did you make the tripod do you have a tutorial?

[@MsMrsBeautiful]

ryano50 lol chill out just asking for a tutorial no reason to be rude

[@ryano50]

Kide Lemi It's the simplest thing in the world, you don't need a fucking tutorial.

[@MsMrsBeautiful]

ryano50 k

[@aybmnn]

Kide Lemi just slow mo the video at the part where he makes it.

[@TwoPercentViking]

ryano50 What a rude little man you are. How disgusting.

[@eetujuvankoski5229]

Make more videos

[@michaelcus734]

i became interested in phone photography and this has upped my game!!!

[@djb9208]

Thanks for the great tips. Will try them all. Cool music.

[@alcesmir]

To be a bit pedantic, that's not a tripod. A tripod has three legs. You could call that a bipod if you want. :P

[@TheCooph]

Tbf, we considered that. But figured 'tripod' made the most sense and that only one or two pedants would notice :)

[@guillermaten]

COOPH it would be great if you upload a pdf or something with the "tripod" holder shape. I know it's easy to do one by yourself, but you could save some time :)

[@e3alan]

Great. Love the tripod and the cable release.

[@espertoapprendista2136]

what's the song name?

[@TheCooph]

Esperto Apprendista It's stock music: coo.ph/1G6BfZa :)

[@hakimboulbair238]

[@jonathanlam2135]

Anyone else wonder why he flipped the phone over to take the driving panorama...? I mean...you could just tap the screen to do it right to left

[@stevenxzuber]

True that!!

[@DarpanJoshi]

OMG you guys are just AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, i have my note 2 & i always try to do something different with it, but you guys tech me alot in this smallest video...thank you very much & i am also looking forward to learn many more tectonics from you :)

[@harushouse]

This video was so helpful! Thank you

[@autumngreenleaf3390]

I don't see a credit for the music.

[@autumngreenleaf3390]

It's proper to give credit where credit is due when positing a video to the public, and to do a professional job. And I like the music and was wanting to find that source. But I guess if you'd rather take credit yourself for someone else, then you can always do that knowing you are also able to be ripped off by others, but not justified in crying about it when it happens to you. Certainly, your question sounds as if you care or you wouldn't be asking it in the first place. Comments are open to everyone and should be respected if you understand the principal of the tube experience.

[@theOneHofo]

Linda Houck Shazam says it's "Wildcard Tabata" from "Tabata Tracks volume 1"

[@autumngreenleaf3390]

Howard Fore Thanks. That's so much more helpful than all the oversensitive back lash in response to my simple observation.

[@TheCooph]

Linda Houck Sorry, it's actually just stock music: coo.ph/1G6BfZa :) Sorry, we'll put in our music credits in the future!

[@autumngreenleaf3390]

Lovely

[@sayfullah8658]

Tripod one will may work.

[@3boodminecraft]

You're the best ! Thank you We need more trips. If you can.

[@joycenglc]

Incredibly useful tips! Thanks!

[@emuwithrabies]

Here's another trick. Put the phone down and enjoy nature the way it was intended!

[@jmack4275]

How does one have 17+ million views, but only 400k subs? 🤔

[@josedelacruz1323]

+Jmack 4275 Articles on different sites post the video, that's how it got so many likes.

[@TheNailArtCarla]

Geniales sus consejos, ideales para ponerlos en practica a los que nos gusta la fotografía... Sigan haciendo...Gracias!

[@janahuffman]

Can't wait to try these!

[@SafetyLucas]

Cool video guys, I love your channel. Here's another trick that is similar to the water droplet trick. i.imgur.com/2is0P9P.jpg

[@TheCooph]

Hey Magneto! we actually tried to use a laser pointer first... But we found it was a mission and didn't work out so well!

[@gronkotter]

COOPH iphone is fiddly focusing with a laser lens. You can get some pretty sweet macros with samsungs. Also try moving the phone to focus and help the phone out.

[@TheCooph]

Tom Geiser Cheers, good to know!

[@egzondina]

WTF. :o

[@zikra7730]

The first one is awesome! I'm definitely gonna try it out!!! 😝

[@nicolamoyaghirardelli4277]
