Looking at the side-by-side comparison starting at 7 mins mark, I find the Apple log side to be faded vs the regular side. I'm not sure if you labeled it wrong, but the right side looks more vibrant while the left side looks faded.

[@ShannonRawls]

I CAN CONFIRM.... I have successfully recorded to a UHS-1 Micro SD Card (not a uhs-2) using ProRes. Here is what I have/did: - iPhone 15 Pro, white, 512GB - SanDisk Extreme Pro 512GB Micro SD card V30 ($52 bucks on Amazon) - UNI SD USB-C Card reader adapter ($12 bucks on Amazon) The iPhone was set to ProRes, LOG, 4k24, main camera. (91 minutes with 512GB micro SD Card) I formatted the card in my MacBook Pro 13" M1 to ExFAT. Popped the card in the reader, plugged the reader into the iPhone and recorded 1 full minute of video. No errors, no stopping. Playback was smooth. CONCLUSION: NO, you do not need an SSD drive. And also, NO you do not need a faster UHS-2 SD Card. As long as you have a fast UHS-1 card, you can do it. NOTE: This will not work with 4k30 or 4k60. If you set your camera to one of those, it WILL record, but your resulting file will end up being some wonky frame rate around 24p'ish. Basically, the iPhone will drop frame rate before it stops recording. So if you need to record 4k30 or 60, you will need a UHS-2 SD Card or an SSD. But 4k24p works just fine using a cheap Micro SD Card UHS-1.

[@davidaltizer]

WOW great feedback and thanks for sharing your findings!

The log looks gorgeous. I can’t believe Apple hasn’t done a more traditional “Cinema profile” in all these years. Like Cinetone or Eterna. That auto HDR has been plaguing me ever since it came out as well.

Anyone using an Iphone 14 pro max does not need to replace his phone until the 16 series. Bcz in reality there is no such big diff in 14pro max and 15 pro max.. and for zoom videos or photos S22 and S23 Ultra is the best Option..

I feel like it needs a technical LUT or something to get it into the ballpark. I would think an inexperienced person would likely get better results shooting baked in and tweaking from there. That pastel look aint it. Looks not good.

I've noticed that KZbinrs who discuss mobile phone video recording never mention the jittery effect that occurs when panning left to right. It seems that the phone camera's shutter speed may be the culprit. It's frustrating to see video examples that are either in slow motion or completely still like a webcam, as this doesn't accurately represent the normal video experience. It's crazy that phone manufacturers or reviewers aren't being honest about this common issue when promoting new models. Personally, the jittery effect makes me feel dizzy. It would be great if someone could ever address this problem.

[@davidaltizer]

Oh yeah totally. It’s a shutter speed issue that can be fixed with Blackmagic camera app or filmic pro. I just used the built in app for this quick example. Unfortunately Apple doesn’t allow for manual shutter speed adjustment.

Apple has decidedly distinguished the pro models from the base iPhones in the iPhone 15 range. There's so much possibility now with the iPhone 15 pro max.

Was great to see that log removed the sharpened phone look! Pro res is great and all, but those data rates are insane. I would love to see LOG on regular H.265. That would be insanely useful for projects that max quality is not needed but also wont look like it was shot on a phone.

[@TheWutangclan1995]

That's what I love about the iPhone 4 4s.I have some exposure control and can increase or decrease it to my liking. There is a reason why a lot of people like shooting with that phone because of the experience. I have the 11 pro and and hate taking pics with it because it does everything and hate the sharpness look.

[@mathegaming4415]

The h.265 would need to be in bit depths higher than 8 bits to look decent, maybe 10 bits which only takes up a bit extra storage

[@hummersd]

I could see a Smallrig or Ulanzi accessory cage that could be developed incorporating all of this. I already was eyeing one kit that includes a holder for the SSD drive, but with enough room for the MagSafe battery pack on the back of the phone; as great as the battery life is on an iPhone, it does drain quickly when taking a lot of video.

[@drkrpr155]

[@mathegaming4415]

Wow. I am actually very surprised at how good the colours look while recording in log, it's much better than standard. The only thing is the amount of storage it takes up because of the raw format. The only thing is that some people don't want to upgrade their phone so a cheaper alternative to shoot in raw video is just to use an old digic 5 canon camera with magic lantern.

I've got the same 128gb phone and I've been messing around with the external recording. I put in a usb-c thumb drive with 1TB and could record to it, showing 119 minutes 4k. The read write is slow though. Here's what I noticed. If I record something and unplug too fast I don't get the whole recording, if I wait a while I do get the whole recording, but there is nothing telling you when the data transfer is done. I've ordered the usb-c to sd card reader because I have a bunch of fast sd cards. My plan is to get a spare case and attach the reader to it then tie back the cord, I'm hoping to use it on my osmo gimbal :)

[@eedoamitay3341]

Basically what Im noticing too. The speed at which you can hit record again after you stop will depend on the speeds of the the drive you use. The T5 can stop and start almost instantly, while the slower cards, I will hit stop and then some will take 10 seconds and others 30 seconds, but the native app will be frozen until it saves the video and you are able to hit record again. Depending on the use case and what footage you need that day, you can definitely get away with using the slower storage options, but if you need quick stop and start recording, you need to make sure you get a really fast storage option like the T5.

[@Dinty51]

There are some nice reasons to use ProRes, but the real quality and post process control comes from using ProRes RAW, which I don’t think the iPhone can do? Log is simply the removal of saturation and contrast to gain “space” to save a bit more dynamic range, also a smart option.

I just tested external recording prores log on Samsung T7, using original cable vs samsuung t7 cable. I saw that the iphone original cable will cause frame drop intensively and it took much longer to write to T7 after click stop recording when the usb-c gen 2 cable finishes saving the file to T7 right after I click stop recording without losing any frames. Therefore, using another usb-c cable for iphone pro (max) is the must to utilize its features

[@radiumuppet]

The original cable is is USB 2.0 (480Mbits/s, or 60Mbytes/s). 4K60 Log takes up about 100MBytes every second, so that'll be what causes the stuttering as there is literal data being lost in the process. Additionally, USB 2.0 is incredibly unstable, it rarely ever gets the 480mbps at consistent rates.

I’m imagining a case that has a m.2 style (2230?) ssd with USB-C that also allows for charging pass through? Somehow, that drive could quickly come out (solutions for this do exist) and be popped into a faster enclosure at the computer to quickly dump the drive. It’ll probably make the most sense to go SD Card due to it being cheaper, smaller, having less heat and more handable than m.2 drives. It is a neat idea to think of though, especially as SSDs get cheaper. You wouldn’t even need to go NVMe over SATA if you didn’t want to. But if you’re recording a lot at once? Just put a PCIe gen5 NVMe SSD in there and record normally while the dump station goes crazy.

Picking up my 15 pro tonight, excited to test this out!

Kudos to the idea of making card reader into a grip.

[@OggVorbis69]

this is done in China already. They just have to adapt it for iphone

[@rizlah01]

i have started using a thumb drive (usb c) which is so much better than SD card

[@Amybnuy]

I wish this worked with just plain 4k videos. I don't need pro res raw but I wanna record to a drive or SD card

[@davidaltizer]

yeah i agree!

[@smartduck904]

Been doing this with Android for 15 years now
