iPhone 15 Pro Max - DIY MagSafe 2TB Storage for ProRes Recording.

Here is my super minimalist magsafe external storage contraption that gives me 2TB external space to record into. Here are the ingredients:
Tiny External Drive:
2TB: amzn.to/3PsiOqu
1TB: amzn.to/46nmLni
MagSafe Sticker: (Remember what I said about the magnets)
What I used in the video: geni.us/MomentMagSafeSticker (Read below, I took this out later)
But then I ended up using this (it is much better): amzn.to/3t8aXa7 This is stronger and thicker, which gives a nice airflow between the phone and the ssd.
The cable I used: amzn.to/3PEteU6
There is also this one, it is faster: amzn.to/3Q0IhZy

I'd like to mention couple of things - How long can you record? Watch this: kzbin.infoKTsaGILYUCA - SSD is not affected by magnets, just like the storage in our phones. (HDD is affected by magnets) - While filming the SSD drive is not in the shot, cameras are moved on iPhone 15 Pro series compared to 14 and prior. - I ended up using this amzn.to/3t8aXa7 as the magnet on ssd, which is a lot stronger and thicker, but also it gives a nice space between the phone and the ssd for airflow. - You can transfer anything from your phone to the SSD, anything that gives you the option "save to files" - iPhone won't record raw photos to SSD but you can move them later on. - I haven't experienced any heat that may be an issue, but I haven't filmed for long periods of time. - The magnet sticker I used is strong enough to keep the drive on the phone, but if you like stronger, you may wanna check out the magsafe mount part of the magnet, however they're thick, so maybe the magnet from a wallet can be nice. - ProRes HQ are gigantic files because they're not compressed like H.265, which gives you great flexibility during edit (because almost nothing is baked into the footage) - I won't be saying heif in my videos. It is H.E.I.F (this one is for Apple :))

[@markjones8121]

@@iPhonedook, fair comment, how about record in 4K60p until the SSD is full to see overall performance? Just asking.

[@iPhonedo]

@@markjones8121 That's a great ideal, I'll try to make it happen.

[@Designguidetv]

I was just about to ask every single one of these 'points'

[@TechOutAdam]

This is the type of tech I like to see. How we should be innovative in using these gadgets is fun.

[@TheRealMafoo]

lol, "innovative" might not be the right word. This is something that has been possible in the mobile phone space for many years. Just because you can now do it with an iPhone, does not make in innovative. :)

[@TheSmartWoodshop]

A friend and I were talking about this a few weeks ago. We also discussed picking up a small Magsafe wallet and slipping the SD drive into it. I think we are just minutes away from commercial products offering this option. Personally, I would prefer a Magsafe sleeve so I could put any small SSD in it.

[@ashiq_r]

maybe cut a small hole at the end of apple wallet’s pocket. I have a spare, would definitely try. 😅

[@MA-ij3sp]

I was just talking to a freind about this as well I thought I'll just find a big enough wallet and lo and behold the gentlemen here did a great implementation of that.

[@kustoo]

Love this. Great job, sir!

[@iPhonedo]

Thank you kind sir :)

[@heyspookyboogie644]

Can’t wait to see your full review. Nobody seems to do in depth and critical reviews the way you do.

[@sidforreal]

you DIYed the thing that I was expecting other brands will comeup with soon.. This typec+magsafe gonna take accessories to new level

[@josephjoestar515]

Your videos are so amazing. I love DIY stuff like this. Looking forward to more of your iPhone 15 content!

[@paulaggarao]

That's why I love this channel. Always makes sense, and creative. Been a fan for so long. More power. Cheers.

[@stalman]

this looks so much classier than my rig did 😅

[@chris]

Loved this. Got my 15PM today and am digging it... but moreso loving videos like this. I MagSafe *everything* and have so many metal rings and magnets so that everything sticks to everything, everywhere. I love this and will definitely be copying. Thanks!

[@avonbarksdale2506]

i was literally just thinking about designing something like this to 3D print on my drive home. You are the man!

[@jergophoto]

Great video! The great case debacle is always a tricky one. But this is why open bottom cases are my go to. No lip on bottom to catch your thumb on up or down swipes, and ALL cable and accessories fit.

[@kendrickcontent]

Record to ssd is the best feature about the 15 pros and 5X portrait shots with awesome depth to field

[@aramistech]

Thank you for all your great videos, you’re so innovative and creative. Your videos are a breath of fresh air in a tech industry where everything said and shown is cookie cutter. I always learn something awesome from your videos. God bless.

[@iPhonedo]

Thank you so much for your kind words! It is so nice to hear.

[@djalil_YT]

Good idea! Just be mindful of heat dissipation from both the back of the iPhone and the SSD. They can get hot when shooting/writing large video files.

[@Russsssss]

And the magnetism too

[@aerofly2]

@ Russsssss The T7 is an SSD and will not be affected by the MagSafe magnets.

[@Russsssss]

@@aerofly2 Tks!

[@pglazzari1]

You stoled my heart with that amazing invention. Great Job!

[@AlexPrevost]

I bought a bunch of MagSafe metal rings figuring I could use them for something someday. This is it! Thanks!

[@spacecadetrik21]

I had a similar thought but I just used a pop socket took off the bit that pops up to hold and sanded down the middle slightly raised bit and used a 3M disc to secure the drive to it. Works amazingly well.

[@djredtiger]

Absolutely loved this video!! Looking forward to your review!! It’s gonna be amazing!! Best regards from Germany!

[@learning_xp]

Thank you for the gear links. Exactly what I was looking for

[@davidpalmer5290]

Seen this trick in a few places, but it's a good one. Already had the drive so just bought the cable

[@jaydanielstech]

Perfect! I’m scheming a phone rig like this, and this was an idea I was curious to see built out. Thanks!

[@JoshNelsonHawaii]

I believe a MagSafe wall mount sticker would work well in this case. They would have the magnets aligned correctly.

[@iPhonedo]

True, I ended up buying one of those.

[@tomasvircik3742]

🤔 I gotta check that. I have the magsafe ring with magnets on the side where the sticker is. What a nonsense 🤔 Thanks 😎

[@muralibalaraman]

This is a very neat trick . Thanks for sharing this with us. Will implement this as well

[@lorawaloski]

Love this idea, would love to see a follow up if there’s any issues with overheating like this. I was thinking of using Velcro, but this is far more elegant.

[@dwylhq874]

It’s great to see Faruk so excited about new iPhone season where other KZbinrs seem _stressed_ about having to release content on tight deadlines to appease the algorithm. 😍 Can’t wait for the iPhone 15 Pro Max in depth camera review. Would be awesome to see a camera comparison to a Sony Full Frame to know if Apple are closing the gap in quality. 💭

I was wondering the other day how long it would take for someone to release a MagSafe compatible SSD. Glad to see I was not the only one thinking about this.

[@andreaturbolz3542]

We need a usb-c hub case for “iphoneographers” ☺️ or similar. We need a compact way to attach the SSD but also charge the iPhone and attach a microphone (also a cable one)

[@rolandomendoza5053]

Definitely, I can't find information anywhere on how to connect an SSD and a microphone at once.

Yes there is, but it requires a hub. instagram.com/reel/CxrENzMv4Zt/

[@wandidabula2726]

I was worried about the same but I did think maybe SSD might not be affected like spinning dives, google search confirmed.

[@iPhonedo]

It won't. SSD is not affected by magnets, just like our phones' storage.

[@matisvanasse5905]

Great build, keep it up

[@dhruvpatel3124]

[@stephensanderson3286]

I had a magnetic ‘sticker’ from a Prograde SD card reader which fits the Samsung T7 perfectly and works well on a case. Was just looking for short cables and you may have just solved that one for me.

[@davidzfr]

There is actually MagSafe ring to buy directly. Those are designed to stick to the wall then you can put you phone wall the wall in a magnetic way.

[@TechWandererYT]

I just did the same thing, but with two velcro stickers on a $5 clear case, and an old Insta360 USB-C to USB-C cable 🤣 Works!

Love it, I'll watch your other videos...but I would love to know if you can record regular 4k footage to the external drive? Probably not, but I was just curious. Also, is there any manual or something that tells you how fast the drive needs to be? Could you just plug the drive into your Mac and start editing when you finish shooting? Thank you!

[@wildpatagoniafilms16]

Cool set up! well done! I was wondering of you could perhaps explain the following: when the Iphone, (14 pro and now the 15 pro), shoot ProRess, is the phone shooting also Dolby HDR...? are these codecs inclusive.. or exclusive...? How about in the regular option of shooting video (No Pro Ress), is that always HDR Dolby...? no one really talks nor explain this ... thanks in advance!

One of the best thing apple did

[@aerofly2]

I’ve done something very similar with my Samsung T7, except I’ve used a rectangular metal plate (available very cheap from Amazon), made for use with Magmounts and magnetic car phone holders, which sticks to the drive with 3M backing tape, and because its very thin you hardly notice it. Although the plate is thin it sticks remarkably well to the MagSafe case on my iPhone15 👍

[@Tendonz_]

can you link it

[@rizkypambagio3867]

does the SSD affect the temperature on iphone while working?

[@MA-ij3sp]

Two questions: 1. can you record non- prores to the SSD? 2. That SSD must have some of it's storage used or are you telling me that 1TB only allows for 144 min?
