Professional Macro Photography with the Xiaomi Mi 11 & Redmi Note 10 Pro!

Xiaomi added the new 'Tele-Macro' cameras to their Xiaomi Mi 11 & Redmi Note 10 Pro series. In this video I show you some of my tips on taking great macro shots, using just your smartphone! 😃
This is by far my favorite new addition to their camera system because I'm a huge fan of Macro Photography.
I've been taking macro shots for the past 10 years and always relied on external macro lenses if I was using my phone. But with the addition of these lenses, you can pro-level macro shots using just your phone (Xiaomi Mi 11 or Redmi Note 10 Pro).

But I'm undecided on which to buy, redmi 10 pro or redmi 11 pro. Great videos btw. I subscribed! Looking for more phone photography videos 😊

[@leohoogendoorn6728]

I like the eyeshot the most. Nice tutorial. I am very near to choosing a new smartphone. Replacing my present NOKIA8. And the Mi 10T Pro and perhaps the Mi 11 are becoming my final choices. I don't want to become a Pro photographer anymore. Al my old DSLR camera stuff, including a lard of COKIN trick filters, I stopped using many years ago. Nowadays I only take pictures with my smartphone. But this kind of VLOGs is nice to improve some base photography with my smartphone.

[@umarnaq]

Hey Leo! Thanks for watching. I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the video. Definitely very easy and enjoyable to get in mobile photography. I'll definitely try posting more content like this :)

[@ravdeepsinghchawla6161]

Hey Umar, loved your video and the pics clicked! ❤️ Had one question here, hope you help me out here :) So I wanted to know if I have to choose between Redmi note 10 pro and the upcoming note 11 pro, what I should go for? The Note10 has 5mp macro lens whereas note 11 consists of 2mp macro. Which one I should go for, coz if I go for Redmi note 11 pro, it certainly will provide me with better specs except cam but I can also use an external Macro lens with it. Am really confused here! Hope you let me know your thoughts on this! Cheers ❤️✨ Edit- RN 11 pro has been renamed as Xiaomi 11i in India

Can you please do a tutorial/how-to video on how to use Mi 11 Ultra Macro Mode? Or if you have any reference that can be shared? Would appreciate it so much!

[@umarnaq]

Hey Irvan, the Mi 11 Ultra doesn't really have a good macro lens (i.e. tele macro lens). I would recommend using it with an external macro lens for the best performance and awesome quality images.

Main cam + external macro lens or built in tele macro lens? what do you prefer?

[@umarnaq]

I personally prefer Main Camera + External Macro lens. The depth of field, resolution, dynamic range etc look much better. BUT, for the sake of convenience, the built in one is killer!
