iPhone 16 Pro + Pro Max Accessories for Content Creators (MUST HAVES)

[@Treborray]

how long does it take you to make one of these videos? Like this one in particular? So much effort put into every video. Your work ethic is insane!

[@CreativeRyan]

Facts!

[@bladerealm124]

And how much are you making on a video like this between ad revenue, affiliate links, etc? And at what point does it become "worth it" financially to put all those hours into a video? In terms of amount of views and/or subscriber count to make a decent living?

[@AllthingsFrandom]

FACTS!!😂 i was thinking same thing! Freakin TopTier❤😅

[@empoweru8617]

3 hours

[@xProjectKaosTV]

Waaaaaaait a second, your name seems really really familiar for some reason. Did you by chance used to stream a mobile game called Vainglory back in the day and let chat control your music? I know this is so random and your channel history doesn't have any of that content but for some reason I feel like I'm having Deja Vu or something, I used to sub to that guys (who I think you might be?) Twitch and loved hanging out and the vibes, I remember recommending him like rock/metal bands like Fire From The Gods and whatnot and he would do viewer games it was a blast. This had to be like 8-9 years ago I don't really remember. Anyways, sorry if this is weird and you're not who I think you are lol.

[@Waterlinestudios]

I love your style, it’s cinematic, and stylistic, yet casual

[@emiliomorales491]

I have a 16 pro max and am going to backpack around asia after I graduate. I plan on stepping out of my comfort zone and vlog my journey/ post and edit content onto socials, so this video is a must. Trying to figure out what accessories I need and how to edit

[@jaymills1720]

Wild how good the iPhone looks! I want some YC LUTs to bake in

[@RickyTinez]

This! My wallet is ready

[@icamwproductions]

This part

[@onje23]

To be honest, at first I just wanted to leave a comment for a chance to win one of the items you showed in the video. But after watching it, I really just want to thank you for your content. I can tell how much time and effort went into making this video. It’s seriously awesome. Now, I want to watch as many of your videos as I can. So yeah, thanks a ton for your great work!

[@flvve]

Love this! Im still awaiting the delivery of my 16 pro, this would be a really nice upgrade for me! keep on sharing these amazing videos!

[@markwilliams1680]

The audio sounded great to me!

[@MoorishMade]

I just ordered the 16 pro max and I really appreciate you doing this. One day we’ll meet and chop it up. Before I started my film business, you’re always the go to guy for tips and reviews. Thank you brother.

[@88tone]

Whoa! I clicked so fast! What’s up bro! I truly enjoy your vids and I’ve learned so much! I primarily use my iPhone 14 Pro Max but your advice is universal! Thnx

[@CoachCraigKenneth]

Great video. My only question is how does the new IPhone pro in phone mics compare to the one you were wearing

[@DoughboyGod]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@UpstatePostcards]

Going to be making content for my local historical society and I’m a noob. This has been very helpful. Thank you!

[@RanftEvan]

you're too good at what you do man. Loved this one and those mic's sounded great

[@thejasontlewis]

I've heard these mics in a few different videos and I'm super impressed with how good they sound. I also wanted to point out if you wanted to use a standard phone clip with the power bank or the SSD mount you could still use a tripod. Magsafe would be cool, though.

[@passionatenjanikes]

Hey YCImaging! I really enjoy your videos and pay close attention to every detail. I just wanted to point out that when you mentioned picking up the Desert Titanium, you referred to the iPhone 15, but it should be the iPhone 16. Keep up the amazing work!

[@nlkmusik501_]

I definitely need one of those mics 😍😍 the quality is great keep the videos coming….hopefully on the near future we could work on a Music video together 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@truthseeker36]

I would love to see a video of you sharing your thoughts on the new iPhone from a filmmaker's perspective. Most reviews are from people who just love tech, but I'd really like to hear from someone who understands how it performs in real-world filmmaking scenarios.

[@trailsandtailsdogschool]

The MagSafe tripod is exactly what I need! My previous tripod smashed all the buttons on the side of phone. Thank you so much for sharing this! ❤

[@c.d.osajotiamaraca3382]

I really like the mics. They look good without distracting you from the picture. You can always get some round stickers with your own logo for them. Well done, again!

[@FullClipTV]

🔥🔥🔥 video bro! I hardly ever leave a comment but your content is super dope! I’ve been watching you for years and always take your advice. Thanks bro 🙏🏽

[@driveabout1world872]

Great video. As a recent 16 Pro user, I appreciate the effort you put into the video. Question: Can the 16 Pro, while filming, loop the video as the GoPro cameras do?

[@yumegrade5581]

Curious, are you using the native camera app or one of the more professional apps? Insane footage!!

[@peteregedejensen1790]

Do you prefer the pro ore pro-Max ? Great video 🙏

[@garymyers472]

Magsafe Tripod looks very practical

[@emmankianga9082]

Is anybody going to mention just how sublime the color and dynamic range is? 🤯

[@adventuresoflescott]

Great presentation. I love the first piece of accessory especially its ability to be extended to a very good length. Is the tripod base plastic? How about stability?

[@davidfinch8493]

Bro your videos are buzzin. Massive respect bro definitely aim to get there one day. Also audio sounded great to my ears😅

[@jontaba80]

Those luts look amazing. And that mic sounds really decent especially for the price and they’re super light and convenient, I’m sold. Great video as always bro 🙌. Thank you

[@compacoffeeroasters]

Real helpful video bro. Audio sounded great, and i instantly added that tripod to the amazon list. Thanks!

[@John_Pither]

Oh no! I wish I'd seen that tripod a week ago! I bought a similar one but without the MagSafe.

[@JarradShaw]

I’ve been seeing more and more creators using the hollyland. That size is killer. And the sound is legit. And… the rechargeable case is so small and handy! The price! Wow!!! I’m totally getting the mic system next paycheck. I hope to find a combo using an SSD AND the Hollyland… both plugged in.

[@fordawin7811]

You boosted the highs, mids sounded great, only thing I can say is I would cut some low end out there’s some frequencies in there you don’t need otherwise they sounded pretty damn good

[@benjaminmillwardcinema]

Stoked to see the Lexar accessory you were talking about. Looking for a cleaner way to record the crispy ProRes!

[@keepthefaith2950]

Nice review! I think the post processing on the audio sounds good, trust your instincts! :)

[@Kastrozaytana]

I love how u use yellows in ur color grading ur warm look is dope

[@JonS0107]

Thanks for the reviews. I'm really not in the market for most of these items because I don't blog or record, but did order the tripod. It's the accessory that I need, but didn't know existed until watching your channel.

[@blackcircus222]

Thanks for the video! I’m the same with audio. I just can’t really tell, and I don’t even have a microphone. This was very informative especially since I want to start up my channel soon.

[@CreativeRyan]

Fire video! I need them mics & tripod asap ✔️

[@martinezpix]

Drop them luts for the iPhone

[@annimatorAM]

I love how you describe the use and how you use it. These are all great accessories!

[@blakebaker6726]

dude thank you ive been getting into content creation photography and the such lately a but i like using my phone since its simple and mobile. alot of good stuff that works really well for me

[@senkawascott]

Super video! Beautiful look, and wonderful introduction to accessories I didn’t even know existed. Getting an iphone 16 pro soon, so will be picking up some of the stuff you introduced. I like your style a lot, btw.

[@Yumyumfoodtime]

Great quality video! Your audio, compositions, and colors are on point! 💯 Very informative as well 👍

[@seanmonts2159]

I'm with you on the Dessert Titanium. I sent mine back. I am going to the store this week and put my eyes on them before i buy again.

[@Sokie14]

I feel like the vocals recorded on those wireless mics are a little louder and deeper than your actual speaking voice. As long as the sensitivity can be adjusted on them via phone or app used to record on, they would be ideal for mid level recording and for the price.

[@VizzyFilmsmedia]

My DJI MICS were stolen from my Jeep and hadn't found affordable audio since' but these Mics seem very promising. Thanks for reviewing!

[@JarradShaw]

I would love to get Ulanzi’s Freewell version of the camera grip/selfie stick, something to mage safe an SSD AND use the hollyland lark 2. I need to find a usb-c splitter for audio and for the ssd, and then find a good combo of the selfie stick and way to connect the ssd. My idea is so close, I just haven’t found this crazy lil dream camera gear

[@AnthonyMorales71]

Lark M2s are the way to go! Size, sound, magnetic clips.. Price! You can’t beat it

[@cr8withnate]

Yo YC if you hit that yellow button on the side on the hollylands and you will get a noise reduction and it will eliminate all that ambient noise. Game changer Great vid

[@mishnanua2038]

Great video, one question I have is, do you use an ND filter and if so, how do you attach it?

[@YoungerPhotography123]

Great video. Very useful info! Definitely surprised by those mics. Well done.

[@Hxq99]

Hello, what setup for using tripod + powerbank + ssd in a same time please ?

[@jasonhollingsworth4877]

Thanks for the review. I am really interested in some of these. Also anxious to see your review of the Lexar SSD.

[@Black_Fang_Productions]

Hey man!! you could try using your apple watch as a screen whenever filming from your iPhone so you can view from it, properly because i know how it feels to record and not see what you are capturing meanwhile you could be off frame your apple watch could help you view your iPhone screen and allow you to position yourself from far That's how i do it at least and it has helped multiple times.

[@valismind]

man i love your videos so much

[@JayDeeTee]

Awesome presentation absolutely pleasing to watch. Like the sound of the microphones.

[@thesheriffabdo]

you can view your framing through your apple watch 😉 I use that trick all the time!

[@rebeccacabage]

Great video …. The MagSafe tripod looks awesome 😊

[@smooveefilmz704]

Audio sounds good! Thanks for the video the ssd clip is so clutch you just blessed.

[@PatriciaWFischerauthor]

Great info! Thanks for all this.

[@CyberMonkey03]

My brother got the pro desert color, looks great!

[@BJBullert]

Thanks - I just upgraded from a iphone 13 and none of my mics work with the new USB-C iphone 16 pro max, like the MOVO wireless. I appreciated the Hollyland Lark 2 info. Thanks

[@CalvinHenderson]

I like the videos like this. Can you share editing tips? I want to get started with that aspect. Right now all the stuff I create is just home stuff which looks terrible. Thanks!

[@joigiovanni]

Are you able to connect more than 2 mics to the phone at a time?

[@anthonygadd295]

Yep. If the receiver takes two.

[@joigiovanni]

@ that’s perfect. Thank you.

[@Ikilomalla]

We love your videos! Always have and we are now giving these Hollyland Lark M2 Mics a go! Thanks again for the priceless content!

[@thomashalloran2661]

Absolutely loved the look and sound of this video man! Fresh! Please what was that CAMTREE rig for the car windshield? I’m dying to know a good setup to rig your phone in the car to get those driving clips. Thanks again for all your videos!

[@joshuasaposnekoo1421]

Question about the The SSD clip - can I run the microphone through it? (The example you use is connecting the MagSafe charger and SSD)

[@SalsaBailaProductions]

I loooove these mics so compact and easy to use

[@tacomanruiz]

Just got my iPhone 16 pro and ohhhhh man am I looking forward to record with this bad boy, also the microphone is what I am for sure going to grab 🙌🏼

[@VinceTNez]

Thank you, this has been very helpful video. I’ve been looking for some of these items so it’s nice to see them in action.

[@TonyVawnz]

Nice video, looking to get my creative juices flowing

[@aaabbb-bg5pe]

I have to say your beige-tee outfits looked so clear and cool! love your video, trumble up👍 cheers

[@Fgesto91]

I love your content bro keep going .

[@princearthur4946]

Excellent presentation! Love your work!

[@AllthingsFrandom]

Love your content so much❤ you speak well too

[@ShotByCurt]

That tripod is dope!

[@konstantinosTakiRockThodoris]

I would like to start make videos like this, so the accessorises would help a lot!

[@antnguyen]

Backed Lexar for their ssd kickstarter, here’s to hoping it fits over a cage case lol

[@kreyotek]

Great content 👍🏿

[@thebeaconnetwork]

Thanks for your hard work and sound instruction. Grace to you.

[@AxelAxe]

I had never seen that mag safe tripod before 💪

[@BostonDub1]

🔥 video, Appreciate the product suggestions with an exceptional and professional presentation.

[@pavkata678]

SENSEI , how do you color grade the LOG in such awesome way ?

[@MaknifisentTV]

This video was so helpful you have help me a lot with my content game

[@VlogginWithStephany]

I just order the 16 Pro!! I would love some accessories!!!

[@matahn489]

What percentage of this is actual apple log footage? It looked really good!

[@Maggashi]

Most of it is filmed on a Sony a7cii says so in description. So only some sample scenes are actually filmed on the phone

[@rubby2008]

I’m new to the channel but the information on it is huge🎉

[@RyanVisuals]

After I saw the color grade slide, I knew it was gonna be a banger vid! Love it bro. Also, will you be making a scripting video soon?

[@MerkKk-ue1ec]

Thank you for sharing it so useful for me 👍🏽

[@chunmanf]

Love your color grade brother! The mics seem super convenient! chunmanf 😎

[@EricBenkert]

Great video! Was looking for some of these accessories. Thank you!

[@WillKlein]

I ordered the Lark M2 mics a couple days ago. I LOVE the idea to map the action button to Voice Memo!!! I went with the combo (phone + hot shoe receivers) so I can use it with my Canon or my iPhone depending on the day. I watched a bunch of reviews on them and I can tell a difference with no EQ in post. Out of the box, they sounded better than the DJI Mic 2. Only the Lark Max sounded a little better and the Rode Wireless Pro sounded a step better, but they cost almost 3x as much. Funny you didn't mention the black stickers they include to cover up the logo. Their noise isolation mode doesn't sound that great, but probably still decent if you need it. I'm curious about two things: how good are the mics on the new iPhone 16 (I got a Pro), and is there anything I can do to equip both the Lark via USB C AND an SSD? I will be trying some things later this week once my M2 set arrives.

[@23jayjone1]

Great review! Continue to share your knowledge...I'll be watching...

[@lanjintao5344]

Great video. I’m considering buy this new iPhone 16pro max to film my KZbin video. Wish you can post more skill about how to use iPhone to film videos. Thank you. Love your video’s style by the way ❤

[@clydeme]

That mic is sick tho !!😍

[@88North]

I'd love owning that mic as someone who just started creating.

[@walterpinkmantanay1577]

God I'll settle for any of these items they are so useful

[@HelloMrClass]

I need all of these lol I’ve been carrying around a blue yeti mic 🤷‍♂️ gotta use what you got.

[@eddieburgess8313]

Thank you, this has been very helpful video

[@BrianKenyon]

You could just add a sticky MagSafe ring to the outside of the battery. Just make sure the magnets are strong enough to not have the phone fall off with the attached heavier battery.
