External SSD + iPhone 15 Pro/iPhone 15 Pro Max

[@RockkcoR]

Love this. I can see a lot of photographers and videographers wanting the option to shoot from their phone at the highest quality without worrying about storage. This will be my go to for situations like gatherings where I take a ton of photos and video but plan to only keep select ones. I can easily transfer to the computer for better editing.

[@iRahz.]

I respect that you gave iPhonedo credit. Not a lot of people would do that. This is such a great idea. You know companies are rushing to put this out lol

[@rogerseng]

Thanks my friend. That’s kind of you to say. Yeah it’ll be a mad rush to see who gets to market first.

[@design4nyone793]

You just gave a great idea to the whole external storage industry. Soon there will be it with magsafe to go with iphone 15 series

[@SkyyLiineVisualz]

Literally why I’m here now saw a video about one lol

[@wimalranaweeratunga850]

I searched and watched few other videos for this but you are the one who did the most simplified yet all inclusive video of how to. Thanks.🙂

[@Thisguyandhiscamera]

I’m ABSOLUTELY thrilled that I can use my T7’s with my 15proMax! Now I can TRULY edit on the go with LumaFusion!

[@edangell7795]

Ordered the SSD, wire and mount using your links. Thanks for all you do. Great job.

If a company doesn’t make a MagSafe SSD they’re missing out.

[@eno88]

Call me old, but magnets and storage devices are ehhh...

[@KingoftheChill91]

@@eno88that's with disk drives not flash memory like ssd

[@dinoscheidt]

@@NicoDa1Well, you are maybe too young, but SSDs are highly sensitive not just to magnets but all kinds of radiation. That is the reason why SSDs are packed to the brim with error correcting algorithms (google it) and are double and triple saving bits and bytes because SSDs degrade already without magnets next to it. That being said, that MagSafe magnets are certainly not great but due to the build in resilience, all that happens is that the lifetime of the SSD degrades faster.

I think it’s also worth mentioning that besides saving space, you can’t actually record ProRes Log in 4K 60fps without an external drive the phone won’t let you.

[@dronecamps]

Elephant in the room : HE just stuck a MAGNET to a SSD Drive! 👀 👀 👀 #ohdear -- I would use 3M VHB 'sticks like a boss.

[@laurieclarkson9180]

Could we do something like this with older iphones?

[@brianj9262]

Is the ring magnetic or just metal? Can you put 2 back to back drawing together?

[@arkangel7330]

There's a newer version of that Samsung drive. the t7 shield. It has a rugged case. it is slightly thicker than the t5, but I think it is a bit wider so the radius of the ring maybe a bit more fitting. but this is a great idea. thanks for this!

[@corey7219]

The rugged version would be more challenging, because it has less of a surface area than the regular t7 due to the design of the case itself

[@0nemoa]

I have that exact setup. I thought I was the only one. T7 with a Magnet ring on the back, though I went with a much more powerful magnet ring. I have that same cable too. It works perfectly. And yeah the ring is slightly bigger but who cares, throw some baby powder on the sticky areas that are exposed and you are all set. Also the T7 is a much better drive then that other one.

[@itsbeaties8902]

what magnet did you use

[@rogerseng]

It was just one I had from some accessories. However here is one I’m including in my next video. It’s better and stronger IMO. geni.us/Cmdx9M

[@DavidHindin]

Dude. This looks amazing. Going to try it for a meeting I have next week. Thank you!

So you can only access, video using the device and only upload them to the computer ? I need to access video and edit on my phone.

Now, I need to do this! But, could there still be a way to charge the phone from a power bank??

[@thechkoromanov2819]

Are you sure magnet das’t affect the phone?😊

[@novice024]

The Samsung T 7 fits into a MagSafe wallet. It works beautifully.

[@arturosanchez3430]

thats good. i use a u shape usb c male to usb c male connector.. looks more sleek.

[@eifelbike]

Great idea👍Will the ND filters still fit with this setup?

[@rogerseng]

Coming soon 😎

[@2023pertama]

I use type c adaptor. but my hard disk is not detected on my iphone 15 pm. but my memory card is detected. I tried to ask apple support, all they told me is upgrade my ios. any idea sir?

[@vtbluzplyr]

I read that the SANDISK drive draws more power than the iPhone can provide. The Samsung draws less and is compatible. Would be nice to find a cable that is even less obtrusive.

[@user.who_am_i]

Pls talk about over heating problem.

[@Lekha63]

Just curious, won’t MagSafe interfere with the SSD?

[@gregg5958]

I’ve seen people slip Samsung drives into a magsafe wallet too, so that’s another option depending on the wallet.

[@ottomanbeatsofficial]

We still cant transfer files/videos/photos directly from a pc to the phone or vice versa without itunes. So usb c is kind of pointless.

[@Ellenc345]

Does the magnet affect the disk?

[@tenparkdrive]

How do you tell your phone to write to the SSD

[@Cali_90s]

I have a concerning question. Won’t the magnetic field affect or damage the ssd and the data???

[@mythrol]

I did this same setup using the recommended magnetic ring from iphonedo and I didn't need to add a zip tie or anything because the recommended magnetic ring from Amazon has a stronger magnet on it. It works perfect and I've tested it on multiple iphones. I'd spend the extra money on the stronger magnetic ring because I hate the look of zip ties or tie downs on this otherwise clean setup.

[@furmanvit]

link please)

[@joshyddog2054]

You still recommend this set up?

[@rogerseng]

Yeah mans till such a good setup. However I’ve been using the T9 and I really like that SSD better. But that’s just a preference thing.

[@vinakane3150]

What about an iPhone 15 Plus?? TIA!

[@CreateNowSleepLater]

Is there a reason you didnt use the included Samsung USB C cable? I would think that would have the 20gb spec. I'm pretty sure the iPhone itself on the Pro and Pro Max versions are only 10GB anyway.

[@xxDrain]

I am struggling to get an iphone 15 to recognize any external ssd through an OTG cable -.-

[@johnbowden1004]

I bought the Sandisk SSD for my 15 Pro Max. When I plugged it in, it did not show up in my files app. I called Sandisk and was told that the SSD had not been tested with the iPhone 15. So, he was saying, or implying that it did not work with this phone. I returned the SSD and got the Samsung T7 Shield. It did show up in my files folder, but there was no way to transfer files from the photo library to it. The T7 had 3 programs on it, one for Android, one for Mac, and one for Windows. The Geek person at Best Buy said it needs a program from Apple to work. So, how do all these people I see doing videos on these SSD's get them to work? What am I doing wrong?

[@Saar58]

Probably related to the format of the drive. I would recommend to format the drive into exfat or APFS (apple file system) is faster

[@Gshadow1000]

That is absolutely amazing! It’s just like the filmmaking part from the iPhone 15 Pro introduction video on Apple. 📱🎥🎞️

[@Jethro0323]

Then iphone will make ssd like a magsafe battery pack with that idea you have😂😂

[@SneakSpotPH]

Can you use it on the base model iPhone 15? Or is it for pro’s only?

They don’t actually. Standard hard drives they would for sure but not with SSDs.

[@KenToney]

Is there a setting on iPhone 15 to direct the recording to the SSD or is it automatically sent to it?

[@imaginegerman]

Why don't we use a 3.1 Pendrive?

[@andicampbell8621]

Correct. It wouldn`t look any dumber than the cable-tied tail he has sticking out in the set-up.

[@jeffreycheng3169]

Do magnets affect ssd drive data? Magnets were used to wipe out conventional old drives before.

[@rogerseng]

Not on SSDs from what I’ve read.

[@Ronbc000]

I intend using a Ulanzi iPhone mounting clamp with Samsung T7 Shield, I think there is sufficient clearance between bracket & iPhone to wedge the drive in place. Worth a look 👍

[@paulg3388]

I saw the IphoneDo video but in his he had to turn all the magnets around one by one. You seemed to have the right MagSafe ring without having to do that. Can I ask where you got that from, as it’s not as simple as you would think finding a ring that isn’t the opposite way around with regards to the magnet. Either than or I’ve got it all wrong !! Which is entirely possible. Thanks

Ok I found the reason for thoughs that need this info. It was the cable that came with the drive. Looks like it is to slow. I used the one with the phone and it works.

[@DragonByte79]

Thank you for the video. I wish I could buy a silver version of that T7 SSD in Germany. I can get only a titan grey, red, or blue one. The titan grey is a bit too dark for summer use. Never mind, how strong is the magnet you're using? Can you trust the magnet to hold the SSD by itself?

Hi there. Great video...I have a Saumsung T7 SSD and an iphone 15 promax...but I wonder if there is a USB-C flash drive/thumb drive that would be fast enough for Pro Res LT- I don't need the highest Pro Res HQ- so have you tried the SK 512GB Dual USB C Flash Drive, 2-in-1 External USB 3.2 Gen2? It's a USB drive and it has USB C on one end and regular USB A at the other...I wonder if it is really fast for video recording with my new iphone 15 pro max...easier to carry thanmy Samsung T7 SSD. Also I want to keep the weight to a minimum so that I can use the drive attached to the phone while on a small gimbal like the DJI Mobile 6 which can only carry 290grams. Thanks

You can get a u shaped usb c male to female male to male, etc and that leaves no hanging wire, also, if you cut the mag safe in half or in quarters, that allow one to have it with no hanging or protruding part, also you can get small portable chargers that have MagSafe inbuilt and then attach the memory to the charger and you have a dual memory and charger back up that will sit on any set up, phone small tablet, etc.

Great idea, but one issue is running out of battery before your shooting. My 12 Pro will run out of battery a,d with .5TB I never ran out of storage. My new 15 Pro has 1 TB. How do you address the power issues unless you go to a docking station with multiple I/O ports with a USB-C power in port like I have for my iPad Air Gen Pro?? No one has answered that question. Seems like we need a 2-1 USB-c cable that will supply power and well as the video. Just sayin’!
