I don't think the phone matters nearly as much as Brandon's skills. The man can probably shoot cinema level footage with a potato.

[@MrVecino]

I really would like to see that 😂

[@Yamenoutlaw]

Hehehe absolutely right

[@MA-gv3wg]

He changes up the scene to much and dramatically. This style is his own style. It’s only good for a quick view. 10 minutes at most. You will be dizzy or tired of seeing this after a full movie length.

[@tanmoysaha4865]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@amranibrahimrashidi]

Totally agree!!!

[@sauravbahuguna3186]

It is just amazing how a smartphone footage becomes so much more amazing when it is a professional like him who's handling it

[@vinayaksuri8166]

Always so masterful...you're an artist Brandon...this phone did have me excited...but not as much as seeing what you've made with it...you hand the device to the right person and magic happens...your skills are incredible...you're always an inspiration...cheers!

[@justcallmesando]

Couldn't say it better

[@faisalbalouch1980]

that ninja walk COMPELLED me to like and subscribe.

[@ricardourroz9322]

Your comment of planning the shot as if they were 2 photos and you are connecting them is just perfect. It give so much to work with. Thanks!

[@justcallmesando]

I hope Vivo is watching this because Brandon just made me go with this smartphone as my next buy

[@mmj19833891]

You are a very good teacher! Vivo & Ziess have created a legend. Hands down 🙌

[@bano377]

This movie mode with ai blur works only in 1080p :(

[@y0girap]

Damn. Have been searching for a perfect video on filmmaking on x80 Pro and came across you. My search ends here!!!! Loved it. Nailed it.

[@vgpowerful]

Ultimate handheld videography.

[@sukhvindersingh7004]

Damn, i came to this channel first time, and what i liked even more than the phone is the video shooting tips that he is telling us 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 SUBSCRIBED TO THE CHANNEL 🔥🔥

[@LittleSpot]

OMG. You are a pro in making moving shots. The camera dynamic range is also very impressiv. But you are pushing smartphone filming to a higher level. This is absolutly phantastic to see :)

[@TroyBrooksPainter]

Your videos are always such a great resource. Much appreciated.

[@thomastrautwein2054]

You rarely see such successful recordings as in this video. Thank you I learned a lot.

[@fujifilmsfashionphotograph8738]

Amazing work Vivo next level camera

[@thisispjetro]

This is the first time I watched your video, randomly ended up here looking for information about X80 Pro. But, man, your skills are just ... wow.

[@yusrilyuhaz840]

I didn't expect before if the results of Vivo X 80 Pro camera can be this good. like watching a movie at the cinema. Awesome, Vivo X 80 Pro Thank you guys, you are really skill.

[@abhikaulavkar]

i see this video & immediately i sold my iphone & buy new vivo X80 Pro 😊

[@maxszeto7030]

First video I have seen made by this man. I'm shaking my head, this is too much skill for one man.

[@SkipperSurfReview]

[@armandogarcia7522]

Eres lo máximo

[@Lukiobiezyswiat]

You show me big possibilities x80 pro, thank You and greetings 👋

[@KeechiVlogs]

A good phone + a talented person takes the video to another level.

[@minutesback]

Cool shots with a phone! Great skills 👍🏽

[@coolkanhajbp]

Beautiful stuff Brandon. I bought this few days back and I was feeling excited about the potential of its camera. I'd be more than delighted if i could do even 1% of what you did with it. You are truly an amazing artist!

[@Design4Training]

Great stuff Brandon, as always. With a phone, what you don't have in depth of field and sensor size you can really make up in framing, camera movement and editing. I think your work really shows that off. It never has to be the equipment that holds you back. Kudos!

[@linanleon]

X80 added in the bucket！ check🤟

[@fitnesswithtajura308]

Figure out how to get from the beginning frame to the ending frame smoothly. Enhances the production value. Excellent tip💯Truly appreciate this video 🙏

[@oldboy.496]

i came for the footage, you made me a photographer!!!!!

[@4science2011]

أنت مبدع

[@vntconcept]

you are a master.

[@brianwong1925]

The real-time bokeh was impressive.

[@arturogoga]

Impressive cinematic shots as we’ve become accustomed to by Brandon skills. And great image quality but the over sharpening applied by smartphones kinda makes them lose some of the magic. Hopefully a manufacturer will add some sort of software alternative to disable or regulate it.

[@aguyfromparalleluniverse]

dude that is soooooo epiccccccc

[@akmalhawari3291]

This is really cool

[@Akhi_Tech]

Excellent 👌

[@varunahlawat9013]

Your hand movements! man!

[@teamhomies2392]

so cool idol

[@jonnscott4858]

@Brandon Li may I ask which gimbal you would buy for your first time on a budget but had to have certain features you love? only use a canon G7X Gopro and cell phone

[@jaysonfontela5761]

💖

Hi Brandon, I was watching some of your videos on the channel and I really liked them. You gained a new follower! And this VIVO 80X Pro cell phone looks very good. Congratulations for the video and greetings from Peru. 😉👍 Excelent.

[@mobilevideographer_slang3572]

Hi Brandon I saw your movies just feel its not I always feel that it's a matter of shooting skills, not tools, and this time the ZEISS boke on VIVO looked the best I've ever seen on mobile, thanks for your always inspiring videos!

[@REVIEWSONTHERUN]

[@KennixThe]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Not just for the phone but for filmmaking in general.

[@skyhawk3090]

Hi , Brandon! Your footage made want to be visiting Chicago! I am currently in Brazil. You make everything seems to be like taking a candy 🍬 from a baby. I already own a Vivo X series phone. Your perspective in showing what you want is really captivating .In this case ,as always, you have managed to do two things. To introduce a new upgrade in a Flagship phone from Vivo and the city Chicago. Prosperity.

[@some_random_penguin]

What about the 5x telephoto? Can it shoot video? And can you zoom between lenses while recording or do you need to stop recording to switch lens?

[@tonymurphy9112]

Great video 👌

[@santhoshkumarr1577]

Watching in X80 pro 😍😍
