Thank you for this update... very helpful!

[@kentowne2462]

Thanks for the review of different recording options for the iPhone 15 ProMax. I personally chose the Crucial X9 ssd and a similar elastic wallet connected to the phone with a 5" flat 40 Gbps cable....it's great!

[@ricardomartins4597]

Thanks from Brazil

[@wildbill3104]

Thanks so much for all that you’re producing. I’m really looking forward to seeing more. Do you think that a Samsung T7 Shield would fit in that MagSafe wallet?

[@user-lu9rx1qx3m]

Did you try ??

[@MichaelSchmidt_UrbnPxl]

thanks... the T7 or T7 Shield will not fit ... it really is kinda made for the Crucial X9 Pro ... which is a great SSD ... as good as the Samsung T7

[@eclecticaro]

Transcend also make identically lookinh SSD pendrive. It is 1.5 x faster then JetFlash model so perhaps it would sufficem

[@utah62]

Thanks for sharing. What do you think of the Crucial SSD? Do you also have experience with the LaCie SSD, or is the Samsung T7 better?

[@MichaelSchmidt_UrbnPxl]

i'm using Crucial X9 Pro and Samsung T7 ... both are great ... I dont have any experience with LaCie SSD's

[@fromdonwithlove]

My T7 dropped frames at 4K 30 ProRes Log. My SanDisk 4TB Extreme would drop the connection (maybe it requires too much power?). My SanDisk 4TB Extreme Pro seemed to be more stable, but if I use it immediately after the Extreme, it sometimes won't mount on the iPhone.

[@MichaelSchmidt_UrbnPxl]

ok ... that is strange ... how many frames does it drop / how do you notice it? Do you use the iPhone App or Blackmagic Camera App, ProRes HQ or ProRes LT? ... also sounds like a cable issue. Even on the Mac I had issue with a cable suddenly giving me bad write speeds.

[@fromdonwithlove]

I recorded using the built-in camera app. There is a short on my channel with two people dancing that shows the noticeable dropped frames. I used a Kondor Blue right-angle cable that supports USB 3.1 10 Gbps. I've tested other known good cables to rule that out as an issue.@@MichaelSchmidt_UrbnPxl I'm going to take my phone in to get it checked at the Genius Bar because the SanDisk issues tend to cause my phone to have lingering USB-C connection issues. While testing yesterday, after using the SanDisk drives, my port would intermittently drop the connection even for charging.

[@TheFandangovideoguy]

wow...I have both Samsung and Sandisk but I prefer Samsung. The Sandisk gets very hot while operating. I guess you were recording the highest Pro Res quality when the Samsung dropped framess? I want to use it to record Pro Res LT at 4k60....I hope it works flawlessly

[@fromdonwithlove]

I was recording at the highest quality, 4K 30. I recently purchased the only drive Apple sells out of their store that is "compatible with the iPhone 15 Pro Max. It's a LaCie Secure 2TB. It matches the specs with another version that LaCie sells. It's been rock solid, even at 4K Pro Res 422 HQ 60 fps. It's the same drive they show in their own promotional videos, but they removed the branding.@@TheFandangovideoguy

[@pdcorlis]

Could you please comment on the quality differences between H265 and Pro Rez LT? Is there a difference in bit depth of recording? Thank You! I appreciate your videos!

[@MichaelSchmidt_UrbnPxl]

i will test this next week on a few shoots

[@pdcorlis]

@@MichaelSchmidt_UrbnPxlThank you! Also, you did not specifically talk about the Crucial SSD Drive, is it equal to the Samsung drive?

[@MichaelSchmidt_UrbnPxl]

@@pdcorlis the Crucial X9 Pro is equal to the Samsung T7 even a bit faster on a Mac (not on the iPhone there its basically the same) i thing the T7 just has a better form-factor to be used with the phone in all kinds of different mounting solutions

[@MichaelSchmidt_UrbnPxl]

thanks ... well so far I actually did not notice any real big difference for small quick edits ... with ProRes LT you might have more "data" if you have to push the color grade ... with h265 you might see more banding in gradients (sky for example) or artifacts in the shadows for example with ProRes you will have more "organic" noice ... h265 might not be able to retain those details

[@MichaelSchmidt_UrbnPxl]

@@pdcorlis yes it is as good in my experience

[@mdmahfuzahmmed980]

can you please test the transcend ESD310 Portable SSD

[@MichaelSchmidt_UrbnPxl]

testing that one currently

[@MichaelSchmidt_UrbnPxl]

... updates soon'ish

[@mdmahfuzahmmed980]

thank you@@MichaelSchmidt_UrbnPxl
