iPhone 14 Pro Camera review for Filmmakers!

Wirestock: wirestock.io/?...
This is the new iPhone 14 pro and over the past few days i have been testing the video features. Looking at things like cinematic mode, action mode, and ProRes have left me with a few thoughts on this camera.

I used to use my phone professionally back in the day, and the clients would always get upset that I didn't have a professional setup (despite the professional looking results). You are right, perception of professionalism goes a long ways. If you are going to use your phone you need an awesome portfolio to back you up

[@LarryBenton-w8v]

By FAR the MOST informative and inspiring content creator that I have had the pleasure to just STUMBLE upon thus far!!! ......and I have been at this for well over a decade......Great job Mr. Brandon

[@ethanperry569]

Definitely planning on real estate videos with this phone. The professional perception thing may be an issue, but the truth is, an iPhone can get better videos than my 7 year old flagship DSLR with a 28mm lens. Might look cooler, but it just doesn’t deliver the quality expected anymore. I’m thinking that the perception problem can be slightly bridged by branding yourself. I’m going to print business decals to put on all my gear and hold my head up high because I know that the final product will be good.

[@barneymovie1]

perfect assessment of where the iPhone sits in the world of filmmaking. Thank you

[@ky314]

First time I’ve seen a video of yours. It was super-high quality and really stands out.

[@mc_cubing3639]

True.

[@kings9634]

yep, just sub

[@InternetCity]

Great seeing you at vidsummit

[@carmcarm8230]

Great video!!!

[@DjFrankybe]

hi was this IPHONE 14 PRO MAX ? Thx, 👍

[@BLAKEEATS1988]

Yup I agree it's not going to replace the big cameras but it's not a bad emergency back up for it's price just incase you really need something to shoot with and you forgot it on the way to your trip.

[@MJ-tb4sx]

Very dope indepth video and very helpful with the footsge fpr campsrisons snd brief deep dives, very helpful for people like myself who sre just looking to begin their journey shoiting vstious types of videos🙏

[@KevinLe]

I loved my beastgrip. I backed it when they first dropped on kickstarter. Love seeing someone geeking out on it too

[@erikpreston2393]

love my Beastgrip too!

[@msalexus]

Can you do a video on how set up the rig with the phone?

[@broderick7932]

Excellent Video. 🙏🏾 it’s important to note that Cinematic mode was limited to 1080p on the 13 Pro Series, & is now in 4k on the 14 Pro Series

[@Clintus]

Great video man, thanks for the review.

[@hikodzu]

The cut-out in cinematic mode is weird, idk why you said it's amazing

[@AdventureAthlete]

My boy goin’ nuts on this rig. 😂

[@petersterling5334]

Great Video as Always. I would forget Action mode! As you said it crops in and only Shoots in 2.8K and you don't need it with the Results in Normal Video mode as good or better.

[@rogeriusrex93]

What a great review 👌👏

[@ABVRealEstate]

The best video on this topic, by far. Exactly what I was looking for, thank you for the detailed play-by-play!

[@bensgadgetreviews]

This video was so helpful. Thank you

[@chinitopinoy1726]

Cool to see you on this channel! : )

[@AlexDoesYouTubes]

Thank you for bringing up perception. While for personal projects, what you're shooting matters a lot less, it's so annoying seeing other KZbinrs with REDs, saying "Your gear doesn't matter!!!". Which while true is a sense, is also very much not true for a lot of professional work.

[@evacody1249]

Well that is because a lot of tech tubers don't really understand the true depth of the field. I mean if Apple made a guitar they would say the kind of string or pick does not matter. Well to the guitar player it does. Same with the sound system they are using.

[@HarleyGeezer1954]

I use the Small Rig sometimes. It's just a cage and a handle. Well, a lens mount too. Thanks for the great video. You answered all my questions. Oh yeah, I just subscribed.

[@StudyingVStudying]

We just need FILMIC PRO and MOMENT apps use the apple cinematic depth of field algorithm in their apps so we have all the benefits of the apps like LUTs etc + the cinematic mode

[@AnthonyAllioo]

It may not be a replacement for the pros but it is for us regular folks and entrepreneurs who are getting into content to be able to create almost as good content as y’all. I started out with a canon m50 to create content and thought I would upgrade at some point and this camera is better than that one and I decided that I didn’t want to dive that deep into video anyways and the iPhone makes my work flow a lot faster.

[@clifhellner1493]

Yep, nailed it. I want to get into doing some of this video stuff. I’m still rockin an iPhone 7. About to upgrade to either a 13 or 14. Once I get the phone, I’ll install Lumafusion on the phone, to edit. Full editor in your pocket. Pretty sweet. If I see I need more, I’ll get an IPad Air and edit with Lumafusion, on that. But for now, this will be good enough.

[@TheClassicMotorcycleChannel]

Great video, thanks for uploading :)

[@AA5MC]

You have explained to me everything I needed to know, outstanding video

[@JustAFocus]

I'm not even into videography (I mostly do landscape and nature photography), but you earned a sub, man. Excellent video!! I am excited about this phone, and looking forward to watching some of your other videos for videography tips.

[@SarahJonestoo]

Brilliant video as ever Brandon. @4:00 to @4.40 is genius 😂😂😂

[@BackpackingandBlisters]

Well done! You answered everything I wanted to know. You are an A+ communicator!

[@AGRACEProduction]

Brandon, you legend!!! Really honest appraisal of the iPhone's place in the filmmakers' kit bag. Love your style, and such helpful comments. As others have already confirmed, the perception from clients may deter some from using the iPhone (or other smartphones) for corporate film production. Just gotta be sure the results match up!! I'vew subscribed and sharing your link.😎

[@TheGreyBrunette]

Brilliant video. I just got my iPhone 14 and I'm loving it. I also have a DSLR (Nikon D850) but I'm having more fun playing with the iPhone lol

[@tarakwagle2583]

My 4.4 min pro-res video size was 25.67 gb my sony a1 takes a lot less space 😅

[@kederawel8140]

Great review bro!!! The 14 Pro looks great!

[@Tyler_ThaTruth]

bro was jogging with airpods in...lucky cause my ears would never allow that lol dope video man I need to shoot videos more so I can get better but just for casual uses

[@Bholapubg59]

0:35 active mode 😮❤

[@alejandrolazo3766]

Thank you for these wonderful content Brandon. Just want to ask you, the phone you did the test was and iPhone Pro or iPhone Pro Max...??

[@weidansilva7855]

Brandom thanks for this good review. I just discovered your channel, do you have any video about how to assemble that hardware/gear setting gimbal, microphone, etc?

[@mc_cubing3639]

Wirestock. Maybe I’ll try it out.

[@erikpreston2393]

Love this. Especially that it validates the "craziness" I've done as well with my 14 pro, Beastgrip, Kenko lenses, filters, you name it. One question: How were you able to link the monitor to the phone and the microphone as well? I have the Dji mic and want to have a monitor and use the mic receiver plugged into the phone as well. The only work around I see is to use an IOS device as my monitor and use a peer to peer wifi connection through Filmic Pro Remote. Any guidance here would be appreciated!

[@SimpleAsBDCs]

Great Video keep up the good work…

[@NewVideoParadigm]

This is the first time I've seen one of your videos and what a fantastic and informative video it was. I learned so much, thank you. I'm now a subscriber.

[@metalsoup6950]

Excellent video, been looking for one exactly like this... I'm happy with upgrading to one $1000 device as a posed to something much more expensive, especially for my use cases

Im a professional photographer in Brasil and I buy the 14 pro max 1tb to produce more content, making ofs etc. I think its the best compact camera nowadays, versatile and its a computer... that make calls. The perception factor in my case is subjective, cause in Br the Pro series are a huge investment and everybody knows that, and, I'll carry on my Nikon D4 and all the big lenses to show off anyway lol

[@JimEdds]

Wirestock hum, only thing that worries me is do they verify the person submitting the footage? In the past, the stock agencies didn't verify the source of the footage and we lost thousands in revenue. We've had pirates zoom in past the logo and submit it as their content. Took months to resolve with the stock agencies. This will make it much easier for pirates IF there is no verification. I don't even think you need to submit an ID or bank account info to get paid, just a Paypal account. If you shoot something and post it on social, logo right down the middle of it to protect your work. Great video Brandon, answered a lot of my questions about the iPhone 14 pro I have coming. Definitely a place for it in my camera bag. I calculated 1.4 hrs to fill up 1TB at 4K 30P Pro Res. Ouch.

[@WhitWhitman]

You need to try the beast-grip Depth of field lens adapter.

[@bwashmedia]

I have it but couldn’t get it to work with the iPhone 14 in time for the video.

[@WhitWhitman]

@@bwashmedia there is a lens adaptor you have to buy for $15 , beastgrip posted the adaptor

[@nicoletiana]

I currently have the 13 pro max and an unboxing video of it on my channel, I have it in white. I think ima sit this one out and upgrade next year and I want the black one!!

[@macyoung6634]

Same I have the 13 Pro Max and it’s beast especially in battery life. The 14’s look cool but I think I’ll wait for next years.

[@faranh1]

Very helpful comparison! i wish you would do a separate video on the way you rigged it. I will be using my iPhone 14 Pro to shoot interior interviews and wonder if I need to add a filter. And if so, what kind? (I'm relatively new to this)

[@DreamWevr]

If I don't want to use my iPhone as a camera what budget friendly entry level pro camera would you recommend thank you im kinda having iphone ulmmakung fatigue feel like i.am having my doubts I prefer a more portable compact camera whats up with Red entry level cameras thank you

[@JLBAMOTOVLOG]

Nice Review Sir! You looks like my idol Kobe Bryant!

Excellent review and comparisons! Well done.

Amazing ! Thank you !

[@volkmarweber1791]

I realised the Iphone 14 is not the right camera to capture long scenic drives during our road trip. the memory of the phone was filled in less than an hour. the file sizes are just crazy in 4K pro res.

[@DanielBerzerk]

What was the Lens you used on the iPhone rig?

[@BlaqViper]

Excellent info!!

[@coquiangel]

Interesting assessment! I'm considering buying an iphone just for the camera .

Fantastic "Review". I had so much fun watching you!

[@wildblueworld]

Hello Brandon.! For video purposes, did you have a chance to also try the iphone 14 pro Max and, if so, did you notice any aspect on video making where 14 pro Max is better (or different) than the 14 pro, or the results are just the same?

[@artnelsoncreative]

Thanks for the excellent video. You didn’t mention the screw in lens you used on the iPhone. Which one is it? Also: is it necessary to add an extra monitor to your iPhone rig when you already have the iPhone screen to monitor the video? Does Wirestock make you get releases for any of the video you upload? Thanks.

[@Soul.020]

Tell me please? as a specialist, for professional quality photos and videos, well, for everything, which is better S22 ultra or iPhone 13.14? thanks in advance..

[@Rastafromfl]

Beast grip is made by a wonderful powerful video shooting software in iOS called BeastCam as a filmographies that is the best 1.99 I’ve spent lol on a phone it makes it mimic any of my canon mirrorless settings 😂😊

super helpful!!!!

hello mate. if i record 4K @ 60fps on the iphone pro max. how much space will it take to record 1 full hour straight. im gonna use it for basketball just wonderin if it can replace go pro on that aspect. looking at 256G iphone pro max. thanks alot

[@ShirleyAerial]

Did you have any issues with your external mic on iPhone 14pro? I can’t get my lavaliere and shotgun mic pic up sound? Thoughts? Nice video by the way.

[@sellingwokingham]

Why is 24fps better than 30fps for cinematic mode?

The ProRes files are massive. Not fun to send over via lightning port. Will wait to upgrade once USB-C gets rolled out (maybe next year with the EU's reqs).

[@PolkLC]

You can airdrop to your Mac which is much faster than usb c.

[@InventiveImagery]

@@PolkLC c’mon man 🤔 really? It isn’t. And even then you have to only airdrop a few at a time

4:10 😂😂😂 brah :D i'll definitely try it on my dji rs2 just for fun 😅

[@MarcusRFilms]

Great review bro!!! The 14 Pro looks great! I haven’t jumped over to it yet because my 13 Pro Max is still serving me well. I also used it to get ProRes footage for a documentary project. So it’s definitely useable for pro work but it really depends on the “how” and the “why”.

[@molokiefilmandproductions]

Idk in my opinion the phone always has a "phone look" to the image. Idk what it is but there is something that just always stands out when a video is shot on a phone that feels like it's obvious that it was shot on a phone.

[@JonathanClayton1]

my you could help to answer a question for me. I've been researching but haven't found an answer yet. I've found that when filming in the regular video - filming on 4k 24fps or 30fps, seems to be more glitchy than 1080 60fps. any idea why this is?

[@LouisLuzuka]

Ugh u have a good point😢

[@steviesworld3727]

Tiny sensor equals tiny results. In other news. I like his hat.

[@weeposters]

04:07 I am crying hahahaha

[@krajub1981]

As per the premium paid for phone Apple should make good camera phones. Low light , photo taken from distant , night . After photo is taken , if it’s zoomed then the photo start with noise Need better sensors for camera Apple zoom is very less. Noise is more Is taken on low light , night and from far. If we zoom after photo taken

[@cawoodsob]

Interesting view: so... it seems to me that although the 'main' camera is probably not too far (in quality terms) from the other options - from a value standpoint, would it be fair to assume that a 13 pro usimg a gimbal in main camera mode would be an acceptable 'value' alternative until apple 'closed market gaps and bridges' sometime in future offerings, whether by software enhancement or tech upgrades??

[@GregorPQ]

Real fun, but potentially expensive video 😡 😃Thank you for making it 😃

[@dominikk5039]

That cinematic mode still looks fake to me Look at 1:45 under you Sons arm. Other situation as well still got problems to create nic looking blur around people

[@Flashback543]

It still annt the Nikon Z7 or Z9

[@mundosolidario]

Jajajajajaja it looks you need some heat in the studio or a coat !

[@JDintheDMV]

Wait im confused. "Only cinematic at 30fps. It now shoots cinematic at 24fps". I thought higher fps is better.

[@MrBazsi888]

some say that the 24fps is more like a movie. this comes from the film days... still our eyes accustomed to this in almost every cinema in the past. i you think about 180 degree rule, you can achieve brighter picture with 1/48 shutter speed compared to 1/60 sec. so there are a few benefits for 24 fps overall. for sports event where the ball / car is too fast, thats not always enough. there you will need 60 fps.

[@annoholics]

What I don't understand is that every KZbinr seems to compare the iPhone 14 Pro with a professional camera. IT IS NOT. Does it make nice pictures for a phone? Sure. but that does not mean it is a professional camera.

[@peter_parkour]

I think they know it's a good starting place for beginners for content creation. Being able to use a phone instead of buying a kit lowers the barrier of entry for content creation that requires a videocamera.

[@mokenOS]

This didn't talk about any of the camera features i care about lol
