The Must-Have Gadget for iPhone Filmmakers | Anker MagGo USB-C Adapter

[@VicBarry]

Not sure if it's any use but Amazon have a discount on the Anker SD Card Reader in this video for Prime Day - geni.us/AnkerSDCardReader (affiliate link)

[@TheKingsGuardsChannel]

Thank you for the video and the helpful tips! This little gadget seems perfect for on-the-go filming, especially for someone like me who often uses an iPhone 15 Pro Max to shoot in 4K. I assume it’s great for extending storage too? and able to offload footage onto the card via the Files. Thanks again for showcasing such a useful tool. TKGC

[@VicBarry]

Cheers. Yep. It just turns up in the files app as storage 🙏

[@kidcosan]

This is awesome! Thank you 🙏🏽😊

[@VicBarry]

No worries - Thanks for watching :)

[@kidcosan]

@@VicBarry Just purchased it. Looking forward to testing it and seeing how I can use it in my workflow.

[@VicBarry]

Nice. Enjoy. I’ve find it super useful

[@oljobo]

As a compromise, shoot H.265 Apple Log with BlackMagic camera app ☺️

[@simracingden]

I need this! Thank you! FYI link isn't working for me at least in Canada maybe isn't available.

[@VicBarry]

Thank you. Oh. Let me double check the link

[@VicBarry]

Took a look at the link and it's updated, but I don't think it's available in Canada, but not sure to be honest - If you go to the Anker store from the link, it's under MagGo

[@salvamando1]

Great information, thank you! But does this work for 4k/120 ProRes Log? Apple’s own documentation states that the external media must have at least a 440mb transfer rate for this. Others have also tested this out with “fast” SSDs such as the Samsung T7/T9s, and even some NVMEs enclosures, and these worked to a point before getting a dreaded error message. I just want to make sure you clarify this. Thanks!

[@VicBarry]

This tops out at 312MB/s speed

[@idealparadox]

The ProRes video I tried to record to this thing were choppy and the footage was unusable

[@LouisLuzuka]

Are u going to get the 16 pro or skip 😮

[@VicBarry]

Hey Louis, to be honest I haven’t pre ordered it yet and feel zero rush with it

[@LouisLuzuka]

@@VicBarry 🤯

[@VicBarry]

@@LouisLuzuka hahahaha I'll cave in for it eventually

[@LouisLuzuka]

@@VicBarry u right 😂😭🙏 me too

[@rodc271]

Great review. Any idea if UHS-II cards are supported as no mention on the Amazon link?

[@VicBarry]

Hey. I’ve used UHS-II cards without issue

[@dmbaker60]

Looks great, can it read a terabyte?

[@VicBarry]

No idea. Don’t have a card that size. I’d expect it to be”could” but check with Anker

[@marieta.s]

Let me just say that until now no company has got it right. Only lexar with their new ssd and media hub seem to be in the right direction but it’s a kickstarter campaign. JJC has come up with a phone holder that you can attach an ssd with screws (created to accommodate all sorts of case sizes, but once the ssd cable connects to your iphone then you cannot connect a microphone receiver. Maybe with a type c splitter it might be possible but there cannot be a very compact solution.

[@Tvennet]

Exactly. The only Brand that sort of did it right is Mike. The have a USB C ssd drive featuring also MagSafe and an extra USB-C Pass through that allows connecting other accessories or charging. The footprint is not bigger than a usb stick. Now if anger came up with exactly this + a battery pack inside, it would change a lot of things.

[@BenJeensWilliams]

Very interesting - looking at so many options to record to and these seems like a real option. Do you use a ND filter over the iPhone lenses? if you do... does the unit work with it or are they fighting for space on the back?

[@VicBarry]

Hey Ben. The only nd filters I’ve used with the iPhone tend to be the ones that are mounted on a cage and no issues with those. The other ones, I don’t know to be honest.

[@carsonforeal7319]

Is it workable for any other iPhone without the USB-C if attach a USB-C to Lightning dongle?

[@VicBarry]

Hey. No idea to be honest. Probably worth a shot or reaching out to Anker

[@KenToney]

The DJI wireless mic will sync to the iPhone

[@BohdanBrailov]

Класний девайс. Дякую!

[@MathiasKropp]

Hey Vic, it‘s not the cheapest way to record Pro Res V-Log. At first you need a SD card with 400 mb/s, can‘t find it on Amazon😢. SanDisk 1TB 200mb/s (does it work?) 150 EUR + Anker 29 EUR. Crucial 1TB, M2 SSD, 7100 mb/s costs 83 EUR + Jeyi 2230 ssd m2 case costs 24 EUR. Greats from Germany😀 Mathias

[@VicBarry]

Hey Mathias, outside of recording on 4K 120 on the iPhone 16 Pro, I've happily recorded on a 128 MB/s V30 Sandisk. card withhout issue (both 4k 60 and 4k 30) - This is an SD card I had lying around and can't remember what I paid for it, but it's less than 30 bucks on amazon atm

[@MathiasKropp]

Good to know, thank you Vic. I bought the 16 Pro because of 120 fps and data transfer via USB (I now have a 14 Pro)

[@jefferygriffith7473]

So Vic, does this work for filming on iPhone 16 in log. 4k 120fps?

[@MathiasKropp]

@@jefferygriffith7473 hey Jefferey, I don‘t believe it works. 4K 120 fps log requires 400 mb/s data transfer rate. You achieve this only with an external SSD. Greats

[@MrBearitall]

Is the USB c on the inside for data?

[@VicBarry]

Nope

[@ThierryQuerette]

Seems like we can't use MagSafe to attach it to a gimbal like the Dji Osmo

[@VicBarry]

Not with the way the case attaches I’m afraid.

[@manohasmodernlife]

Man, initially this thing seems to be amazing! But in detail, there are a few little things which definitely need some improvement. Thanks for showing it anyways. 👍🏻

[@VicBarry]

Cool. What things you reckon you need improving?

[@manohasmodernlife]

@@VicBarry to be honest the biggest thing is the recognition problem of the SD card. It sounds perfect to me to switch SD cards between my camera and my iPhone just the way I need it. But if this prevents the intended use in some inconsistent way, I would rather wait for the second generation 👍🏻

[@OracleFP]

Just purchased one for my iPhone 13 and failed to notice it is USB-C not Lightining! My own fault🙄

[@VicBarry]

Ouch 😔 you could get an adapter I guess but who knows what fresh hell that might cause. Or the best excuse to buy a new phone 🤣

[@Frombehindthelens]

Thanks for for sharing Vic 😊

[@ChiRat22]

The video I have been looking for.

[@VicBarry]

Thanks for watching n

[@londonztoa6359]

Top tip. This is starting to look very desirable

[@VicBarry]

Cheers. I’ve found it super useful to be honest.

[@CevicheTheory]

We are going backwards. Put an sd card slot in the phone 😂

[@VicBarry]

🤣

[@LouisLuzuka]

😮

[@TheTrafficBoss]

MagSafe SSDs exist and will run circles around this thing. Such a useless product. SD cards aren’t fast enough for much of anything but storing PDFs and pictures. They are barely fast enough for my 4k Dashcam! 😂

[@VicBarry]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
