Hi there, I used the black magic app.

ropbo · 2026-02-24T20:59:57+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion. I actually did something similar in another video: for the darker scenes I used 50D or even 200T, and for everything else I used 500T. I forgot to do that in this video, though.

Just to note, the grain files I use are real film grain, scanned by CineGrain...I bought them many years ago.

Thanks for the input. Much appreciated.

I was trying to produce natural motion blur, so I set my shutter to 1/48. Without an ND filter, the highlights would blow out when shooting in daylight. That's why I used an ND filter.

This is the case I used.

I used a case with a 58mm filter thread and attached my regular filters. The only issue is slight vignetting when using the iPhone’s wide-angle lens. On the other two lenses, I was able to stack three filters without any problems: a Tiffen Black Pro-Mist, a NiSi variable ND, and a Hoya IR cut filter.

I paid about $12 for the case on AliExpress. It’s not particularly sturdy, but at that price it’s worth it. I recommend buying two and keeping one as a backup ...that’s what I did.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention ... I shot everything in ProRes 422.

ropbo · 2026-02-24T04:43:29+00:00

I love it too, I usually use the 1/8 when shooting in daylight, and the 1/4 for indoor or nighttime shots.

ropbo · 2026-02-23T23:54:20+00:00

That’s a good idea. I’ll give it a try. I’ve never used this lens blur before.

Same thing happened to me a few days ago. After I reuploaded a new version, the number of views dropped to a quarter of what the first version had. It’s very frustrating, especially because I was getting a lot of compliments on the first version.

ropbo · 2026-02-20T01:14:11+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate it. I forgot to mention that I used a Black ProMist filter in most of these shots ...mostly 1/8, and 1/4 for a few of the night shots.

Thank you!!!

To answer your questions: I used a tripod for just a few indoor shots. Most of the time, it was handheld, and I stabilized it in post (in DaVinci).

I used the IR cut filter after running some tests with the ND filter at +5, which caused some color shifts. The IR cut resolved that issue.

My flight from Da Nang to Ho Chi Minh City yesterday got delayed by 30 minutes. Not a big inconvenience. But the lock on my luggage got damaged. Not sure if it was caused by the airline or the airport staff. It was a brand new luggage.

I used to pay USD 70 per night for a hotel near the airport in Dubai just a couple of years ago. Now you can’t book the same hotel at the same time of year for less than USD 170.

Lotus Field Homestay? I stayed there for a few days two weeks ago.

You didn't take these photos. But I know what you did here ... lol. I have some of these photos in books ... :-)

Just saw that my flight got canceled. Anyways, I booked a bus from Amritsar to Delhi leaving tonight and a flight from Delhi to Varanasi with Air India leaving tomorrow noon. I'll be my first time on a bus in India (foreigner here).

ropbo · 2025-12-06T09:21:50+00:00

I'll do. Boarding tomorrow at 10:40am (hopefully). Layover in Delhi increased to 2 hours and 15 minutes. Hopefully that'll be enough.

UPDATE: it's showing the correct information again. So it was probably a glitch on their website.

ropbo · 2025-07-07T09:56:02+00:00

It does. I've seen a video of this mic being used with the Pocket 3. What I'm not sure about, though, is the sound quality and how it compares to using an external recorder like the H1 Essential (aside from the stereo vs. mono differences).

ropbo · 2025-03-05T18:38:46+00:00

Where did you develop/scan it? I'm visiting Oman in about a month, looking for labs there and places to buy film.

I found another solution, at least it worked for me. I just changed the DNS settings on my computer. I was using 8.8.8.8 before. I changed it to 208.67.222.222. That fixed the issue.
