I love what you’re doing, I truly do. But, the moment my gear starts to go beyond a certain size, I'd rather throw all of it out and grab my DSLR to get the job done. The point of using the phone to shoot is to take advantage of the convenience of having a small, hassle-free set-up. All those attachments don't feel small and hassle-free from my vantage point. I do believe that the hardware will keep evolving to the point where it feels like a no-brainer for everyone to grab an extra lens to connect to your phone but it is not this day. However, I still love your journey so keep up the good work.

[@initialfocus]

I really respect that perspective and totally understand for most people bigger setups like this aren’t desirable. As you mentioned, I love the journey of watching all this technology progress so I’m okay with being the test dummy and figuring out what combos can lead to different results. Really appreciate you watching and sharing your opinion 🙌🏼

I only shoot with the 15. The only “dedicated” camera that I’ve ever owned was the Canon 7d back in 2010. I own the BeastCage and most of Beastgrip’s lenses, along with filters and many other pieces of gear. Unless I’m going to shoot a feature film or something where someone is specifically asking for a certain camera, I see no reason to shoot on anything else given how good things are with camera phones now…and Apple Log. Great stuff, man.

[@iPhone-Cinematograhy]

Great content, thank you!

[@chrisbogart687]

I've been amazed about just having this capability in my pocket and have shot more footage on the iPhone 15 Pro Max than any other camera(s) right now. I see a shot and I take it - mission complete. The solution I use for battery issue with a SSD hooked up is a small Anker Mag Safe power bank. It charges as I shoot. Such a handy and quick solution. Don't have to worry about cables.

[@mellowmel2012]

Question re using power bank to charge while shooting: does this cause the phone to heat up?

[@chrisbogart687]

love your work keep it up

[@initialfocus]

Thank you 🙌🏼🙌🏼

Right now, I can’t recommend anything Beastgrip. Placed an order for an iPhone 15 Pro BeastCage and 0.75x lens on Feb 29, 2024. That was all I could order on that date. 1.55x ana lens (outta stock), side handle w/ L mount (outta stock), VND filter (outta stock), CPL filter (outta stock). They were all outta stock before I placed my original order and remain outta stock. Beastgrip has no idea when they will have these items back in stock. Suckered into an eco system with a company that can’t perform.

[@dwpix]

Do that battery setup comparison test!

[@initialfocus]

I think I should! 🙌🏼

[@VincentPolisi]

Excellent review. It was great to see the Beastgrip lens being used to see how it really functions in the wild.

[@initialfocus]

Thank you 🙌🏼

[@johnnymandez]

What Canon EF to Nikon adapter did you use? I didn’t hear you mention it. Thanks for the video.

[@alanggsk9983]

great video as always.. and if possible please do make a video on newly updated MotionCam Pro v3 and also Mcpro24fps please please ...

[@mattsiiteri4366]

Should check out Galileo gear ssd holder since it has built in MagSafe charger

[@RoadBlockNYC]

Dope video been following you ever since I got my iPhone 15 pro max last month lol

[@initialfocus]

Honestly makes my day! Thanks for watching and sticking around 🙌🏼🔥 hope you’re enjoying the 15!

[@AnthonyTilleyVideography]

giving this video a like to see you test that thing out lol

[@rogeriogomesosorio4755]

I totally agree with you… but I think that the iphone needs to improve the hardware; for example, the solutions that the new xiomi 14 pro ultra brings in terms of video and photography is just amazing…

[@tommijoonas_]

This looks incredible! Did you use Beastgrip Pro 1.7x lens at 3:05 ?

[@initialfocus]

Yup! Those shots were all the 1.7x lens!

[@jaymills1720]

When I saw the size of the lenses being attached I laughed my ass off 😂looks absurd on an iPhone

[@initialfocus]

Oh I did too but then it’s still fun even though it’s ridiculous 😂

[@christianholm5604]

Great stuff! I just bought your Iphone course. I'm having trouble with the Discord server invite though, it says it's invalid.

[@initialfocus]

Sorry about that! Didn’t realize my original link expired after 7 days! Just fixed it to never expire you should be good now 🙌🏼

[@cweb1988]

My biggest question about beast grip is can you put your iPhone it if it already has a case on it or does it have to be naked?

[@initialfocus]

The Beastcage is directly fit for the naked phone. The Beastgrip Pro is more universal and can work with some cases

[@nisarali4258]

If attaching that much to load to a phone isn’t it suitable to use a camera without a hustle. If Bare-bones phones itself could deliver the quality then it’s a game changer otherwise attaching stuff to it is the same as using a camera.

[@djordjezlatkovic9177]

Did you sometimes get overheat warning?

[@initialfocus]

Nope!

[@raquetamalvada]

Does anyone knows how it is possible to shoot constant frame rate with the Black Magic Camera App? I´m struggling with the variable frame rate, and i have and issue with that because i´m having mistmatch frame rate when i export and xml from PR to DaVINCI

[@initialfocus]

Unfortunately you cannot help that. It’s not a Blackmagic camera app thing but instead a phone thing. Pretty much all phones use VFR when shooting video. I forget the technical reason why but yeah you’ll always get a slight VFR.

[@raquetamalvada]

@@initialfocus the weird thing is that with the first version of the app, the frame rate was constant. When i shooted with the 1.1 app version i din´t got any weird frame rate. The VFR started with the 1.2 app version update. I hear the same as you about VFR issues in phones. BTW, thx for you chanel :_) is a great one (sorry i thought i was subscribed, i just subscribed to the channel hahaha).

[@Aloddff]

[@RISCGames]

As much money spent on the iPhone and 4TB alone, I would just go for a Sony A7IV and lens that will destroy the iPhones little sensor.
