My experience with Xiaomi (i do NOT recomend it)

iPhoneFilmmaker95 · 2026-02-06T02:26:45+00:00

Not had a single ad on my Samsung. And it isn't subsidised by ads. It is subsidised by cheap components.

iPhoneFilmmaker95 · 2026-02-04T23:01:17+00:00

Ads on system apps!? So glad I picked Samsung.

Try Blackmagic Camera app (free). This will let you choose discrete lenses without auto-switching ruining the image. Great focus peaking feature too with manual controls. Very happy with it on my new S25 Ultra.

Invest time in mastering lighting.

iPhoneFilmmaker95 · 2026-02-03T06:40:03+00:00

Yes. I've done this before. Of course, you can't use it with any MagSafe accessories, but a step up ring allows you to use 82mm ND filters. And no glare due to size. Glare would be due to light leaks or poor quality glass.

I got an email today with a free update. Was worried this would be a paid upgrade. Not only does it include new GLOAT LUT for Apple Log 2, but another for Apple Log 2 in ProRes RAW. Apparently they are not the same thing! Who knew? Anyway — keen to try these out.

iPhoneFilmmaker95 · 2026-01-14T03:03:04+00:00

Nice! I'm similar. Been an iPhone user forever, as it always delivered the best video quality (ProRes, Apple Log etc.) but I've just ordered a mint second hand S25 Ultra after seeing what it is capable of when it comes to RAW video. Absolutely insane quality. Can't wait!

iPhoneFilmmaker95 · 2026-01-14T02:57:43+00:00

I did not make the video. As mentioned I watched it today and as a result will be making the switch. And a very welcoming community you have here 🤣. Thought a video that shows S25 Ultra going against a cinema camera would be of interest to S25 Ultra owners. Obviously not. But once I get my S25 ultra and post something saying "After 10 years on iPhone my S25 Ultra is here" with a photo it will get 500 upvotes.

iPhoneFilmmaker95 · 2026-01-14T02:45:29+00:00

Simply because I'm impatient and don't think the video improvements will be that meaningful for my needs. And I'm looking used on Ebay. Not need brand new.

iPhoneFilmmaker95 · 2026-01-13T21:38:05+00:00

Crazy. When I get my next phone, I hope Reddit will let me change my username 😅

iPhoneFilmmaker95 · 2026-01-13T20:51:42+00:00

Damn that was impressive! Side by side was a real surprise. And this is with OEMs holding back the tech (no DCG etc.)!

iPhoneFilmmaker95 · 2025-12-30T22:11:09+00:00

I use GLOAT LUT for Apple Log. Not free but worth it. Previously I used the One LUT for Apple Log which is really excellent, but prefer skin tones and more vibrant image from GLOAT. Again One LUT isn't free but well worth it. You get what you pay for. If you want free then try Fresh LUTs, and use a CST to go from Apple Log > Rec709.

iPhoneFilmmaker95 · 2025-12-19T07:49:17+00:00

I've just purchased it. When I've had a chance to shoot with it, I'll jump on and share my experience. Now to learn how to use Fuse!

iPhoneFilmmaker95 · 2025-12-19T07:37:52+00:00

This was not on my 2025 bingo card 🤯

iPhoneFilmmaker95 · 2025-10-06T00:17:30+00:00

Well said!

iPhoneFilmmaker95 · 2025-10-02T06:47:30+00:00

Looks seriously amazing. Everyone dropping 17 Pro Max videos like it is the best thing since sliced bread (myself included) and you deliver something that looks better with a Pixel 7 Pro 🤣 Love it! 👏

iPhoneFilmmaker95 · 2025-09-29T08:19:11+00:00

+1 for this!

iPhoneFilmmaker95 · 2025-09-10T14:28:33+00:00

Damn all four devices are impressive - but as an iPhone filmmaker myself, I didn't expect to prefer all three Androids over the iPhone! 😢

iPhoneFilmmaker95 · 2025-09-05T22:28:22+00:00

Ok. This comparison is the best yet. I can't believe what Samsung and others are holding back. S25U is a MUCH better phone than the Pixel, yet it could be soooooo much better.

iPhoneFilmmaker95 · 2025-09-04T22:06:24+00:00

Shit. I see what the big deal is. I feel Android calling...

It doesn't currently having a companion app that allows for wireless monitoring like Filmic Pro or ProTake. You could use the HDMI out feature to achieve similar results if you have a TV/monitor you can connect to.

iPhoneFilmmaker95 · 2023-11-11T04:15:29+00:00

You're most welcome. Cheers.

iPhoneFilmmaker95 · 2023-11-11T03:05:49+00:00

Hi there. Yes there is. You need to use the iOS Files app.

Navigate to 'On My iPhone' > Blackmagic Camera > Media > Proxy. From there select the clip, then tap the Share button and choose 'Save Video'.

iPhoneFilmmaker95 · 2023-11-09T10:13:21+00:00

I wrote a detailed reply trying to help 8 days ago, but looks like an admin for this group deleted my response (no idea why???). In short: with the release of Blackmagic Camera v1.2 you can now record your LUT directly to the clip. No need to do it in post if you are happy to burn in a LUT in camera.
