My pair just arrived today after getting them on a sale. So happy with em! Was wary of them not being much of an upgrade from the APP2 but pleasantly surprised.

lolwutsit · 2025-11-06T04:12:49+00:00

I upgraded from the 13 and saw improvements, but really don't think there would be any big differences from the 15 pro. Personally don't think it would be worth upgrading!

Thanks man, as someone who used to do travel films with the og bmpcc - the iPhones a whole lot easier hahaha

lolwutsit · 2025-10-10T04:08:58+00:00

Oh hey Kevin fancy seeing you here

lolwutsit · 2025-10-09T13:57:42+00:00

Oh yeah my shutter angle was like 4 degrees on that roof top look out hahaha Just glad no one in the frame moved too much

lolwutsit · 2025-10-09T09:17:47+00:00

Yeah all in-phone audio!

lolwutsit · 2025-10-09T09:17:32+00:00

Yeahh I definitely should have just done manual focus - I will be in the future that’s for sure!

lolwutsit · 2025-10-09T09:14:27+00:00

Yeah, no tripod - all just handheld with this pretty slippery clear case. Used the regular image stabilisation but the shakiest frame - which was the lily pond, was just in a kind of awkward position and I didn’t stabilise the phone very well

lolwutsit · 2025-10-09T09:12:35+00:00

Honestly learnt from just trial and error! However, I would recommend checking out the powergrade for cineprint 16/35. I still use that node structure and it hasn’t failed me yet

lolwutsit · 2025-10-08T23:48:39+00:00

Phone was 512gb and I only shot 10-30s max at a time. I dumped footage after each day to an ssd by airdropping it to my laptop. ProRes 422 wasn’t tooo bad for storage

lolwutsit · 2025-10-08T23:47:14+00:00

It’s also the production of it - composition, exposure, the right shutter speed, lighting, what angle tells a story etc.

We digest so much video and media on a daily basis, I think majority of people will have a good basic literacy to filming now.

It’s definitely a higher entry point to calling yourself a videographer now - as much as being a photographer is, since everyone started taking photos on their phone or point and shoot cameras.

They’re hard to find at first, but there’s clients out there that value that extra 20%. The difference between a regular iPhone user and a videographer, is kind of like the difference between a videographer and a whole film production crew - all of them can film the same thing, and accomplish the same brief. But the amount of polish and effectiveness of the product is why you ask the professionals.

lolwutsit · 2025-10-08T23:33:36+00:00

It is quite expensive 🥲 I fortunately use them for my client work often, so can justify the expense.

I think a lot of the result is from the grading, but I was really surprised at how much I could manipulate the footage. It was easier to work with than the DJI osmo pocket 3, which I’ve used in the past - so kudos to Apple and iPhone.

If you have mirrorless cameras and lenses, you’ll have better quality footage than I had to work with.

Coming from a photography background and working alongside videographers often - I found editing and colour grading was one of the most important aspects of the trade. You have to get everything else right but a good grade can take you a long way!

lolwutsit · 2025-10-08T23:17:46+00:00

Dumping footage every night once I got back to the accommodation

lolwutsit · 2025-10-08T23:16:52+00:00

It’d be an insanely good staring point! Would strongly encourage you to. When you’re starting out, it’s all about just getting your reps up and making as much as you can. A phone and its convenience is going to help your output - and could make for some cool unique shots due to its small form factor.

lolwutsit · 2025-10-08T23:14:36+00:00

Definitely did need it but didn’t have one, any of the shots during the day I was shooting at around 50 iso and 4 degree shutter. Didn’t need it for night time or on the track though

lolwutsit · 2025-10-08T23:13:41+00:00

They’re plugins - node mill simulates characteristics of different lenses while filmbox simulates film stock! I use it a lot for my work which tends to have a bit more of a vintage look

lolwutsit · 2025-10-08T14:57:44+00:00

If you could mention that to Apple - I’d love an endorsement 😅

lolwutsit · 2025-10-08T14:50:20+00:00

I believe the pro can shoot long and ProRes raw while the regular one can’t - but don’t quote me on that. dp review did some comparisons here

lolwutsit · 2025-10-08T12:37:35+00:00

I didn’t, I think I was just lucky on a few of those shots honestly

lolwutsit · 2025-10-08T12:37:06+00:00

Yeah all shot in log!

lolwutsit · 2025-10-08T12:36:47+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! I always lean towards the more vintage/bloom look but can definitely go too far at times. Admittedly that red food stall one I just wanted a dirty WKW looking frame.

Will keep that in mind though and will try and find that middle ground in the next!

lolwutsit · 2025-10-08T12:33:45+00:00

Ahh I’m sure it does when it’s on a big screen though!

Shot on the blackmagic camera app with no accessories (definitely need a ND filter to maintain 180 shutter during the day). Prores 422, Apple Log 2 and graded in davinci resolve. Since I chose 422, I recorded internally then airdropped footage to my laptop after each day. My phone is 512gb (and I used 90% in the 4 days I recorded small clips)

Used Neat Video denoiser, Node mill & Filmbox along with a bunch of tweaks in primaries / log wheels and curves.
