A notable issue I've encountered with the SmallRig cage designed for the iPhone 15 Pro Max is that the filters do not adequately cover all three cameras or lenses. In order to capture footage using the 0.5x - 12MP ultrawide sensor, it is necessary to detach the filter holder and reposition it in a different opening. Unless I am mistaken, this appears to be a significant design flaw from my perspective. I would prefer a setup where the filter can seamlessly cover all three lenses, similar to the designs offered by Neewer and the Beast Cage.

[@paulleon6057]

YES Julian! You did my request. Appreciate this as I was at a loss with my new tech and what with being a relative newbie. I look forward to watching the video as i go along with doing my own setup.

[@smartphonefilmmakingpro]

Glad it was helpful!

[@iPhone-Cinematograhy]

Thank you Julian, this video is very helpful.

[@smartphonefilmmakingpro]

glad it was :)

[@prokarestudio]

Great video, thanks!

[@smartphonefilmmakingpro]

Glad you liked it!

[@sheeara]

Thank you for teaching. Your perspective contributes to mine. I hope you’re finding the rewards for teaching to be worthwhile. Grateful for your efforts.

[@smartphonefilmmakingpro]

Thanks a lot for your kind words, very mich appreciate that 😊

[@Mohammad_Sofian]

Hey Julian what’s the best gimbal the zhiyun smooth5s or scorp mini p???

[@user-py5cs5cy4x]

Can you turn on the camera using the button on the stabilizer?

[@wogozyt]

Hi, would this setup work also with the small rig MagSafe cage?

[@faj8340]

This is a nice video but im also worried can dji rs series connect with phones? Cuz i heard in reviews they arent able to. So how are u able to use the gimbal without being connected?

[@jindrichbarta2391]

A great video, thanks for the information. But how do you control the shots, zoom, focus etc. on the iPhone with the Ronin? How do you manage the connectivity?

[@smartphonefilmmakingpro]

Thanks a lot! You don't. I just start/stop the recording on my phone and that is more than enough for me..btw. don't zoom on smartphones

[@Kiasigz]

How can you connect the mic and a powerbank at the same time?

[@Neel_Dhanushka_Rajapaksha]

dji ronin gimbal and feiyou scorp mini 2 wich better gimbl ? plz reply

[@SarahOGrady-q7r]

Hey! Love this set up!! Im wondering if theres a way this setup can be done in portrait/vertical mode rather than film in landscape? ☺️☺️

[@smartphonefilmmakingpro]

Yes you can! basically the same thing, you just mount the quick release plate on a different spot

[@vivianventuraa]

The link for the ND filter is wrong, can you please update it 😊

[@kuusfilms8617]

But where are the cords ? To microphone for example ? Or external ssd ? I didnt see anything attached to the usb c port of the phone ? If you add cords, does the gimbal balance correctly and does it work like it supposed to ?

[@RAZ-man]

What Arca plate (mount) do you have on the gimbal (the longer one) on which you put the rig with the phone?

[@smartphonefilmmakingpro]

that's just the DJI RS3 plate

[@KofiBlades]

This sounds nice. thank you for your video. However, there is a known problem with the Rode Videomic NTG, when connected to the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max phones with a direct USB-C connection. I contacted Rode and they confirmed the issue and indicated that they are working with Apple to fix the, ‘limitation.’ What kind of audio are you getting with it? Or do you have a fix or specific settings which allow you to record without getting peaking and other horrible audio?

[@smartphonefilmmakingpro]

really? i have not heard of that before to be honest, I also didn't notice anything last time I used it. Need to check again

[@si_tattoos]

I have exactly this rig, and no idea how to set up the filter to cover all three lenses. It’s impossible with mine !

[@smartphonefilmmakingpro]

with the Brandon Li Cage you mean? We have a dedicated video about that on the channel as well

[@si_tattoos]

Yes🤷🏻 I will have a look as it’s really bugging me .

[@swellpatrol5638]

How much does the total Rig weigh? Can you use a DJI RS 3 Mini?

[@smartphonefilmmakingpro]

with the whole setup probably not, if you use just the cage with an add on lens, that should work!

[@activest]

I think maybe the links to amazon don't work properly. Many of them are redirecting to Dji gimbal at Amazon allthough they refer to different gear.

[@Maxiixam20]

Which microphone did you use to record the audio for this video?

[@smartphonefilmmakingpro]

Rode video ntg

[@Maxiixam20]

@@smartphonefilmmakingpro Thanks, really good video by the way.

[@lokologico]

just an FYI, your products link to amazon from what you show in the video all go to the same product (the gimball).

[@smartphonefilmmakingpro]

Oh, sorry! And thank you

[@AndersonHenriqueHRV]

The most insane setup was the one that apple used in the launch of the iphone 15. That was Really INSANE

[@smartphonefilmmakingpro]

haha well true

[@nidaltawel]

Why not photograph in nature to prove your explanation

[@neilmusician1143]

I wish iphone can be removed from the rig easily to make calls etc. It is not easy in this case. Only way is to use Universal Rig.

[@smartphonefilmmakingpro]

depends on what you describe as "quick" it'S not too bad! only takes a few seconds

[@neilmusician1143]

@@smartphonefilmmakingpro do you have clip where you demonstrated to take it out?

[@debeeldfabriek]

Without power… no way, unusable…

[@smartphonefilmmakingpro]

without power? well then you can't use any electronical device ;)

[@debeeldfabriek]

And no mic!!

[@BehaviorYT]

With this set when you film in wide angle do you see the rs3 quick release plate? I did something similar and couldn’t film in wide angle 🥲

[@smartphonefilmmakingpro]

it's a fine line, worked for me, but I know what you mean
