I just discovered these types of lens exist for iPhones as I have just been wondering how I'd love to take film shots of my life to document as I get older so I can watch them when I become as old as time or for the people after me to see my youth. These shots got me so melancholic and I just wanna thank you for merely posting this video even if I can't get these equipment right now, you gave me a goal, friend. ❤

[@vedroelcitra]

Thank you, that means a lot. One of the reasons why I do video is to make memories of time and people around me. And yes, you don't need fancy equipment. Stories and emotions are number one

[@vedroelcitra]

[@lobsangwhite]

Beautiful video! Just a quick reminder. Lowering your ISO too much can actually reduce your dynamic range. I came across a couple of KZbin videos discussing this for iPhones, and they both reached the same conclusion. The most practical ISO level for iPhones is around 1600, where noise can be easily cleaned up in post-production, and you still retain maximum dynamic range.

[@vedroelcitra]

Thanks for the tip. I haven't tried it, I might be too lazy to apply noise reductions. Low iso is easier for me and I don't really pixel peep :)

[@realstubaby]

Literally the single best instance of footage from this phone and it's not even close. This is so sick

[@NonsenseGUS]

The things that's pulling most of the weight is that hdr log setting not bc it makes the picture look nice cause it doesn't, but bc it allows the footage to be editing in more detail. And that 25fps pulling some of the weight too

[@rioncinematics]

Love the production of this video. Simple, yet powerful and effective setup! Would love to see how you did the editing to achieve the final cut.

[@purephsr]

[@Testdrive911]

Dude! Thanks so much for sharing. I was thinking about professional grips like Fjorden or SnapGrip but struggled with the price. Your video made me realize I already have the Manfrotto clamp and started using it right away. Also layed my eyes on the Sandmarc lenses now.

[@vedroelcitra]

@@AlexSels it might still work with the older iphone. Imo keeping it 180degree shutter really sell the “film” look

[@AlexSels]

@@vedroelcitra yeah.. but my other concern is it goes like over 200 usd and for an old iPhone seems like a bad investment 😅

[@vedroelcitra]

@@AlexSels oh I mean just get a small ND filter with a screw-on clamp straight to the phone. I think it won’t cost you more than $100. No need to get the sandmarc lens

[@AlexSels]

@@vedroelcitra ahh I see. I might try that. But I really feel you can cover a lot of this up during the color grading process. I just like how you made the iPhone look like a slick “camera” 😂

[@huy_dl]

Wonderful footage!!!! I notice that you used a step-up ring to connect your 52mm Urth filter to Sandmarc telephoto lens. May I ask if I buy a 43 mm filter, do I need a step-up ring as an adapter as well?

[@antnguyen]

I actually purchased the 43mm filter for this reason, thinking, "oh, it's going to fit perfectly!" However, what I realized, after it arrived, is that since the 43mm filter fits the lens perfectly, the lens will see the bezel that holds the glass of the nd, so what I see on screen is a perfect circular vignette on my footage. I'm actually in the process of exchanging it for the 52mm with step-up as he's done here, so hopefully you won't make the same mistake.

Hi, great video. The texture is similar to 16mm. Funny how things seemingly so different can be closer than we think. I was curious if you used any sharpening, blur, or halation effects? Would love to see a video of how you achieve these wonderful treatments! Keep up the great work :)

[@vedroelcitra]

It's uncanny, right! For this one, I only added grain after the color grade. Some bloom/halation came from the sandmarc lens itself.
