A tip to Galaxy users, you can add a Magsafe ring to your Galaxy and get the benefits of Magsafe accessories.

[@smartphonefilmmakingpro]

Thanks for sharing! :)

Good tip! 😊 However, please be aware that the type of magnetic ring you attach, or the type of cases with magnetic rings built-in can interfere with some components of the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra phones, namely the S-Pen. Some cases offer a pop-in magnetic center ring that gives a stronger attachment so for example when attaching your phone in a car where road bumps can dislodge the phone it will stay attached better. However, the stronger magnetic center will make the S-Pen unresponsive in the center of the phone, so some manufacturer's have the option to pop-out the center ring which will weaken the overall magnetic strength, but will allow nearly full use of the S-Pen. The other main issue I've heard about is magnetic attachments interfering with the phone's compass, however GPS should still work. I've also heard mentions of people concerned about magnets potentially affecting the camera's image stabilization because it relies on magnets. Also, some built-in magnetic cases have metal backs that can easily overheat when using magnetic charging. Some magnetic case manufacturer's offer additional magnetic accessories, chargers, mounts, etc that are compatible with one another, but are not necessarily compatible with other brands or all Mag-Safe labelled items. Lastly, some magnetic accessories or mounts are compatible in that they attach securely & allow magnetic charging, but depending on the placements of the magnets can partially block the S23 Ultra's cameras when attached. I've seen this most commonly in magnetic mounts & magnetic power banks.

I really enjoyed this video and appreciate all the work that went into choosing such a wide array of products (and providing links to purchase them). One thing I love about your channel is that you cover Android products as well as products for the iPhone. That said, I was a little disappointed that all of the cages you showed were only for iPhone. It would have been cool to show at least one that could be used with an Android phone. That's just a small nitpick, though; I loved everything else about this video. Good job, as usual! 🙂👍

[@smartphonefilmmakingpro]

Thanks a lot for the kind words! I very much appreciate it! You can use that smallrig one also with an android phone, there is also a clip you can use instead of the magsafe mount :)

[@DanielECulbertson]

@@smartphonefilmmakingpro Awesome, thanks for that info!

[@Eitelkeit]

I also very much appreciate that Android products are included! 😊 I just discovered this channel, and this was the first video I watched, and after seeing Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra phones were included, I immediately decided to subscribe.

[@smartphonefilmmakingpro]

@@Eitelkeit thank you! Appreciate that :)

[@Logypierogi]

Are the shift cam lenses compatible with other rigs?

[@TheActualTal]

Hi! which mics you'd recommend using with the iPhone 15 PM when going to live rock concerts?

[@Logypierogi]

OK, but is shift cam compatible with any of the other rigs?

[@assadaliassadali2427]

Hi brother always love your videos brother assaali from Kenya Mombasa Africa

[@smartphonefilmmakingpro]

Thanks man, appreciate it

[@waveneyavenue]

Any recommendations for alternatives that are compatible with Sony Xperia 1iv

[@suzansh4582]

Wow this is a massive win for beginners 🎉🎉 Thanks a lot for your support A bit surprised that you did not mention the freewell Sherpa kit?! The only think that I don’t like pans for iPhone is the square look, I really like the real round filters as a real camera filter, right😅

[@smartphonefilmmakingpro]

I wanted to mention them with the lenses just forgot. ups!!

[@smartphonefilmmakingpro]

thanks for the kind feedback btw :)

[@suzansh4582]

@@smartphonefilmmakingpro thanks a bunch. You are my go to channel for mobile film making and most of my knowledge are from you guys. Really appreciate the hard work and all the efforts that you put on making these videos to help us all 🌸 Good to know about Freewell that gets your approval🎉

Is there any light I can use with the Zhiyun Smooth 5 gimbal? Something I can mount together with it, rather than holding it in my other hand? The small light from the combo set is powerful, but it's glaring, and I would like to add an additional light source.

[@smartphonefilmmakingpro]

I am afraid adding another on camera or on gimbal light is not gonna work

[@elnifflarsen]

I have a DJI Osmo 6, an iPhone 15 pro Max and a Sirui Carbon monopod stand. I shoot my son’s basketball matches and I am looking for a shotgun mic to get the best sound from the court. What would the community recommend?
