I swear Brandon Li is a filmmaker by day and a ninja by night. The guy has such crazy good footwork on top of amazing filmmaking skills! Love your work Brandon 🔥

[@BastenVal]

he needs to be in Mortal Kombat 3 @Brandon Li

[@kiryfilms]

That ninja walk on 6:11 shows that you really have some shurikens in your pockets Very professional skilled work of model and filmmaker, bravo!

[@chrisbogart687]

A great lesson on using the iPhone 15 Pro Max, BMC app, and your cage which I got and love. Some really good tips for using it to its maximum potential. The quick release handles on the cage are the cat's meow after all those screw-on ones I use to cuss. Your work is magical.

[@TohPhimmasenh]

seriously i just found out its the lut that causes the delay, this is a life saver

[@NoOneTwoTrust]

Free lesson with Brandon

[@bamcameback]

Wow that wrap around pillar shot was amazing!

[@arjunkariyal]

That thing you did at 6:06 ❤

[@pdcorlis]

Thanks for this tutorial, it’s really full of ideas to help improve our filmmaking.

[@BackgroundCharacter86]

No matter how many video i watch, brandon body is just a gimbal itself. freaking nice movement and stabilization at all times.

[@mdturnerinoz]

I have one of these cages and LOVE IT; my fave so far from SmallRig!

[@petersterling5334]

The Cage looks really good and it's nice to see how you change the Lens quickly by using your Thumbs!

[@SourceAwareness]

Brilliant work, Brandon! You're a Genius. Wishing you and your family Happy Holidays and New Year. 😎

[@supermavie]

amazing shots! incredible tips! thanks!!

[@SailingSisu]

Wow, Brandon! Another incredible video showcasing your creativity and skill. It's great to see you experimenting with different setups and pushing the boundaries of phone videography. And that wrap around pillar shot was absolutely mind-blowing! Keep up the amazing work, and wishing you a joyful holiday season and a fantastic New Year! 😎🎉

[@carlstunna1182]

I carried an FX30 and a DJI RS 3 mini along with my Mavic 3 all around Europe this is definitely a much smaller lighter profile. There is no comparison

[@andreaslandgren8357]

Thanks Brandon love the new small rig

[@f0t0b0y]

I was fortunate to do a two week shoot for Santa Cruz surfboards in Hong Kong. This video took me back. These shots look absolutely phenomenal. It’s amazing how far technology has come. Thank you for sharing. 🙌🏼🤘🏼

[@Plantinggastronomy]

Just got mine in this week!!! Can't wait to use it. Right now trying to figure out how to balance it with the Hohem MT2 in vertical mode...Otherwise, love the build and the quick release of the handles. :)

[@tayomwilson]

I can’t believe these videos were shot on the iPhone. Really impressive and shows how the combination of a decent camera and great editing goes a long way!

[@princearthur4946]

Excellent tutorial and presentation!

[@kurshadqaya1684]

I love phone filmmaking content of yours!

[@realfamilyadventuresmemories]

I’m still learning little tricks from you. Thank you 🙏

[@REVIEWSONTHERUN]

Cool! Thanks for sharing it. ✌️

[@bbbb-je7ud]

this is a wonderful tutorial, thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with us!

[@parmanduke]

Man you make any footage look so awesome regardless of what camera/equipment is used. The mark of a true master. Every content you put out with whatever equipment used is magnificent. Do I even need to keep my S5ii? lol

[@elysiumcore]

Beautiful work and gorgeous model 🔥

[@itsrob2321]

Nicely done footage and explanation! Angel was great and adorable as well!

[@nicoschmidt1]

dude you just so good at this, always super inspiring seeing you create such good stuff only with an iPhone 🔥

[@Thouse2great]

Nice I’ll have to give it a try

[@photostoriesofanand]

6:09 that walking is so smooth

[@swidyadhana]

he has that gyroscope leg

[@one1epic]

와! 영업비밀도 알려주시고 감사합니다 ㅎㅎ 많이 배우고 있습니다 😊 케이지 리뷰하는 유튜브는 많은데 어떻게 활용하는지는 많이 없어서 아쉬웠습니다. 너무 유익한 bts영상 만들어 주셔서 감사합니다.

[@gregap8282]

Just bought this cage to shoot content for my store. Love the design and how it feels.

[@KeywordManagement]

Good stuff…thank you for sharing. I will check your new cage out.

[@schreitererstudio]

BrandonYour videos are amazing!! And your walk backwards is impressive!!! You're a living gimbal!!! hahaha CONGRATULATIONS FOR YOU AND THE MODEL!!!

[@FFTuk]

6:08 damn dude, that’s some smooth footwork right there! Just ordered the freewell Sherpa stuff. Maybe should have waited for this cage and filter 🤣

[@daithiod]

Delighted to have stumbled across this video. Learned a lot (even if I’ll never use it). Thank you.

[@user-su6nn6zp9m]

Brandon!!! Got your cage from smallrig and love it!!! Just two things if you can get smallrig to make: a small flat clamp that can snap to the back of the phone cage to hold the ssd flat (and still have a 1/4" hole), and an actual angled usb-c that does 40gbps that fits the bottom (smallrig makes one for your cage but doesn't transfer 40gbps). This would make the cage perfect esp when using a gimbal. Tried looking on Etsy to find a 3d printed one but no avail. Love the entire setup tho and the colorway. Thanks Brandon!!!!!

[@cantoneseslang]

I got the cage and try more high level and this time of issue has many useful tips many thanks😉

[@Zyirgreystudios]

Just made the purchase, thank you sir

[@darkonovevski7770]

06:07 thats moon walk right there 🎉

[@guiadeniteroi]

Great video! Thanks so much for showing blackmagic specs. 👏🏻🙏🏻👊🏻

[@PlanetPDX]

I used this rig over the past 3 days for 3 events. All eyes on my set up, lots of questions and hyping it up for ya!

[@claybeatty8740]

Brandon Li, the human gimbal!

[@TourNv]

I just downloaded the app!! Going to get me a cage! Can’t wait.

[@joshuakarthikr]

I bought the Brandon Li SmallRig after watching this video. Beautiful work.

[@unboxingpro666]

wow so nice. I would get it one soon for my unboxing 😍

[@vinnymwano]

Carrying a cup of water and you don't want the water to spill. I love that

[@makoching_peaceunity]

Beautiful city, Beautiful lady🙂

[@user-ot7nf9cw3j]

Wow bro nice shot

[@Jonnyvonwallstrom]

That looks awesome! Time for an upgrade. Has the last small rig one. I use it while filming ultra mountain runners on a small DJI Osmo OM mobile se. Super critical with the weight. How much does this one way compared to their old one?

[@mdk1983]

hi Brandon, thanks for this video. Can you please do a video on how to shoot an action sequence, like a fight scene especially inside a small space? All those crazy camera movements that make it appear faster and more explosive than it actually is. Thank you!

[@GavinDavidson]

Nice, I dig the footage and video. I want a rig for my iPhone but it’s an iPhone 12. Will this case work with it?

[@oussamaaaniff]

Great❤

[@user-ev4jz6ok1i]

Brandon, thank you! Great work! Tell me,please, imagine if you can take just for video as a camera only iphone 15pro/ pro max or Dji osmo 3, what will you chose? They are both good. I don’t know what to by for video.

[@mikesalomon2695]

Hello and thanks. What do you think about cinematic mode? It seems good.

[@brahimbranis2588]

Such nice video I like it

[@rustumd]

Nice.. watching this on my pixel 8 pro..

[@arshilkazi4557]

Just saw that action short f and I became your die hard fan

[@ceescoenen]

Hi Brandon, love your vids. I bought the new Video Case for iPhone 15 pro. Could you tell me something about how you edit? FCPX or something other? And do you convert back from HLG to Rec.709 for HDR?

[@Jamseyboi]

Wife got me the regular smallrig cage for my iPhone 15pm for birthday Cage really makes it easier to film like you have a gimbal Will eventually get the mount and VND

[@joerogan3703]

Great video. What’s your stabilization setting in Blackmagic camera app?

[@yahyaettouil1784]

Great

[@jurgieldetka5469]

Thanks for making That video its really helpful, footage look so awesome, how do You achieve so shar footage? ! Please make video how You edit footage from iPhone 15 pro max and basic color grading ! Regards

[@enterdabtek]

Hey Brandon any way there is a moment T-series mountable VND coming? I want to keep the T-series mount on the cage so I can quickly pop on that set of lenses. It would be nice to be able to use your magnetic VND with a T Series mounted attachment.

[@mrjonnyjones]

Hey Brandon, do you have any ideas for USB-C extension adapters for the cage? I bought one, however I cannot connect a DJI Mic receiver as the cage stops the USB-C part from plugging into my iPhone 15 Pro Max. Thanks for your help 🙏

[@jeffreylawrence6928]

Looks cool, not available for the 15 pro is it?

[@CrushEatRepeat]

Does this cage work with the 14 pro? I know most cases for the 15 pro work with the 14 pro, so that's why I'm curious.

[@FFTuk]

Can anyone guide me as to why at 1:20 the color space tag is set to Rec.709? Shouldn’t it be set to apple log or same as capture? Also do you record LUT to clip or leave that off and just apply it in post in premiere pro or Final Cut etc? Thanks

[@luisv7117]

I have the same cage and what I did was to insert one key holder ring in each side and them I attache to each side a digital camera strap this way is secure on my neck

[@sammy_484]

dammnn your skills

[@chrisnrs354]

Hey Brandon! This might be a silly question but I just ordered the cage and was wondering if there would be any issues with clearance while using a screen protector ? Thanks for the help in advance , Cheers to a successful launch I wish you a happy new year !

[@GaryRogersDOP]

Hey, I’ve got this cage and my iPhone has a good screen protector on and is no issue whatsoever.. 👍

[@bartlomiejkaczynski8859]

Hi. You use that cage like case? You keep your iphone all the time in? Is not to large? Regards ​@GaryRogersDOP

[@itsgussy]

Is there one for the regular iPhone 15 pro?

[@ItsJustMe1976]

Hey guys, is it normal that the two handles are a little loose, i.e. that they "wobble" forward with a little pressure or when you hold the cage in one hand? thx

[@musicaqueinspira2437]

I have the iPhone 15 Pro Max and use the Blackmagic Camera app with all the specifications I've seen in this tutorial and others. However, my videos always have grain, and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I understand it might be due to low light in the places I'm recording, but almost all the material has grain. Can you help me improve this? Thank you in advance

[@cweb1988]

Does the cage work with the iphone if it's in a case? Or does it only work if it's naked?

[@Iamacthepromoter]

Which ND filter u using

[@gringito95]

very nice product Li but i think its a bit out of date in the sense that it would great to be able to conect it directely to an SD card reader for Prores 4k and also to find a way to connect DJI mic. That would be the biggest selling point

[@nenavredimka]

Brandon, quick question - what are Your settings of stabilization? It becomes laggy on Cinematic and almost impossible for dynamic scenes in Extreme. And amazing shots of Hong Kong, thanks!

[@GordieRoach]

Was thinking the same thing. I know he’s got the Nija step tip but c’mon!

[@Koredollarfabj1]

how Can I get the small rig for the for the 12 pro

[@nmb10720]

✅💯

[@rabbippfx]

this cage should be also for the pixel phones !!

[@THEAMGVIDEOS]

How do you decide white balance?

[@justinleefreiman]

Any tips for shooting log via black magic with an ND filter in high light snowy mountains? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated as I’m very new to shooting in log and want to make the most of an upcoming Alaska trip.

[@BrandonLiUnscripted]

Enable histogram, preserve highlights

[@jleung85]

Man you use a cage better than a lot of people with gimbals

[@luisv7117]

You found yourself a georgeous model wow

[@BrandonLiUnscripted]

@nnnngel

[@LegendaryOn99]

is there a smallrig for the iphone 15 pro as well? or just the pro max?

[@babot7781]

there is ;)

[@kevenspargo6829]

Would’ve loved to get your signature cage, but it’s only available for the pro max. I wasn’t willing to give up the 77mm camera for the less versatile 120mm, so the 15 pro was my choice.

[@chrisbogart687]

I have the iPhone 15 Pro Max and the Pro. Smallrig makes an identical cage in just plain grey for the iPhone 15 Pro - same quick release handles and you can add the Lens mount plate for the ND filter. I use both - the 77mm Lens has certain advantages for certain shots and I got a great trade-in deal on my old phones from my provider so I opted for both. They were the price of one with all the deals.

[@UraFlight]

Hi Brandon ! Can I mount this cage to a fluid head on my tripod ? I’ve been searching for this information and can’t find anything. It would be great if you could reply to me. 😊

[@furynotes]

I like the human dolly crane. That's impressive. I want to be one too.

[@JJxall]

What is the app called, Thanks

[@rufatyusubov8626]

Hi everyone, please tell me how to attach Freewel lenses Cinimatic 1,33 and filters to this case? Thanks for advance

[@criticaltinker]

I hope you'll show the finish product as well

[@adrienverny6960]

I miss Hong Kong ...

[@leosylver7]

Brandon, for heel-toe walking for steady shoots. What type of shoes would you recommend to walk with?

[@BrandonLiUnscripted]

I don’t think shoes really make a difference. I’ve used sandals, boots, barefoot.

[@quentondaniels8536]

Wish it was for all IPhone 15s.

[@etinowik2627]

How can i shoot slow motion with blackmagic app?

[@gregorykelly2949]

I cannot get the remote to actuate the camera using the Blackmagic app

[@twizzian]

Would a power pack upgrade inside the handle for long shooting hours be feasible?

[@GaryRogersDOP]

It allows to use MagSafe battery packs to just snap on the back of the phone and they are pretty inexpensive too, most probably the easiest option..

[@soymezus4637]

Honestly phones are amazing but really hard to make a cinematic look, hands down a budget mirorles by faar

[@leosylver7]

The nerve that blackmagic doesnt have an android ALTERNATIVE APP is INSANE!

[@BrandonLiUnscripted]

Hopefully soon! I think people use MotionCam for android

[@leosylver7]

@@BrandonLiUnscripted thanks for the hookup on the app.. RAW recording? Marvellous

[@SamStab007]

This man is a walking and breathing gimbal.
