Love this. I can see a lot of photographers and videographers wanting the option to shoot from their phone at the highest quality without worrying about storage. This will be my go to for situations like gatherings where I take a ton of photos and video but plan to only keep select ones. I can easily transfer to the computer for better editing.

I searched and watched few other videos for this but you are the one who did the most simplified yet all inclusive video of how to. Thanks.🙂

Ordered the SSD, wire and mount using your links. Thanks for all you do. Great job.

You just gave a great idea to the whole external storage industry. Soon there will be it with magsafe to go with iphone 15 series

I respect that you gave iPhonedo credit. Not a lot of people would do that. This is such a great idea. You know companies are rushing to put this out lol

Thanks my friend. That’s kind of you to say. Yeah it’ll be a mad rush to see who gets to market first.

That is absolutely amazing! It’s just like the filmmaking part from the iPhone 15 Pro introduction video on Apple. 📱🎥🎞️

incredible setup idea !! Thks

Dude. This looks amazing. Going to try it for a meeting I have next week. Thank you!

Absolutely brilliant! Wow 😮

If a company doesn’t make a MagSafe SSD they’re missing out.

@@NicoDa1Well, you are maybe too young, but SSDs are highly sensitive not just to magnets but all kinds of radiation. That is the reason why SSDs are packed to the brim with error correcting algorithms (google it) and are double and triple saving bits and bytes because SSDs degrade already without magnets next to it. That being said, that MagSafe magnets are certainly not great but due to the build in resilience, all that happens is that the lifetime of the SSD degrades faster.

Roger: Great idea. The new magnetic ring you recommend (Encased Magnetic Mount 2-pk) is more like a disc than a ring. Do you still attach the magnetic side to the MagSafe area of the iPhone case and then the adhesive side to Samsung SSD? Does it add much additional weight?

thanks dude, been wondering how to do it in a way where there aren't ridiculous cables hanging everywhere

I have that exact setup. I thought I was the only one. T7 with a Magnet ring on the back, though I went with a much more powerful magnet ring. I have that same cable too. It works perfectly. And yeah the ring is slightly bigger but who cares, throw some baby powder on the sticky areas that are exposed and you are all set. Also the T7 is a much better drive then that other one.

thats good. i use a u shape usb c male to usb c male connector.. looks more sleek.

Quick question, I shoot KZread videos on my phone, and I use the DJI Mic for recording. Is there a way to use the DJI Mic through the USB-C and record on an SSD at the same time using a USB-C hub or something?

The sand disk is better for shooting around water and dust or any exterior shooting I believe

Thank you for the video. I wish I could buy a silver version of that T7 SSD in Germany. I can get only a titan grey, red, or blue one. The titan grey is a bit too dark for summer use. Never mind, how strong is the magnet you're using? Can you trust the magnet to hold the SSD by itself?

There's a newer version of that Samsung drive. the t7 shield. It has a rugged case. it is slightly thicker than the t5, but I think it is a bit wider so the radius of the ring maybe a bit more fitting. but this is a great idea. thanks for this!

@corey7219

7 ай бұрын

The rugged version would be more challenging, because it has less of a surface area than the regular t7 due to the design of the case itself

Hey Mr Seng,does this setup work with the regular 15? And if not why? (I have the regular 15 and I hope I can use this setup for my filming as well.)

Hey man, nice video. Quick question, does it work with Samsung T5 as well?

Hi there. Great video...I have a Saumsung T7 SSD and an iphone 15 promax...but I wonder if there is a USB-C flash drive/thumb drive that would be fast enough for Pro Res LT- I don't need the highest Pro Res HQ- so have you tried the SK 512GB Dual USB C Flash Drive, 2-in-1 External USB 3.2 Gen2? It's a USB drive and it has USB C on one end and regular USB A at the other...I wonder if it is really fast for video recording with my new iphone 15 pro max...easier to carry thanmy Samsung T7 SSD. Also I want to keep the weight to a minimum so that I can use the drive attached to the phone while on a small gimbal like the DJI Mobile 6 which can only carry 290grams. Thanks

To get your phone video to record to the SSD are you forced to use "log" only...or can I realtime write @4k hvec or whater it's called? I don't have the phone yet.

I did this same setup using the recommended magnetic ring from iphonedo and I didn't need to add a zip tie or anything because the recommended magnetic ring from Amazon has a stronger magnet on it. It works perfect and I've tested it on multiple iphones. I'd spend the extra money on the stronger magnetic ring because I hate the look of zip ties or tie downs on this otherwise clean setup.

I have a similar setup to this. bought the mophie snap adapter and applied it to my T7. I cant get the drive to stick to the phone it keeps falling off.

Hiii ... ive read about the SSD having lifecycle ? Kinda confuse about it.. but if i buy samsung SSD just backup my phone and video, do you think its okay ? I mean with the SSD life cycle

Can you use the Samsung T7 shield 2TB external SSD ? Was told iPhone 15 Pro supports only up to 1TB Heard the earlier Samsung T7 had issues with erratic speeds and being unreliable for sustained long writes for AppleProRes Log for direct 4K files from iPhone 15 Pro to the external SSD for the original T7 SSD Heard the T7 Shield was a better ( improved ) SSD to use

Hi, great video! I'm planning to buy an iPhone Pro Max, but I already got an external 1To SSD + iCloud+ with 200Go. Would you say buying a 256Go iPhone is enough, or would you still go for a 512Go?

Ok I found the reason for thoughs that need this info. It was the cable that came with the drive. Looks like it is to slow. I used the one with the phone and it works.

Can you only shoot log to the SSD Drive or can you shoot non-log video's to the drive as well?

I read that the SANDISK drive draws more power than the iPhone can provide. The Samsung draws less and is compatible. Would be nice to find a cable that is even less obtrusive.

Does the magnets have any affect on the SSD? Won’t damage the data?

I’ve seen people slip Samsung drives into a magsafe wallet too, so that’s another option depending on the wallet.

Is there a setting on iPhone 15 to direct the recording to the SSD or is it automatically sent to it?

So, can you transfer all your photos one has already on the iPhone??? - I would like to have more space and back up my photos besides using iCloud.

Now, I need to do this! But, could there still be a way to charge the phone from a power bank??

Can you use it on the base model iPhone 15? Or is it for pro’s only?

Hey Roger! just wanna what type of sandisk is it? I've tried to to click the link but unfortunately it does not exist anymore! Cheers!

Is there a reason you didnt use the included Samsung USB C cable? I would think that would have the 20gb spec. I'm pretty sure the iPhone itself on the Pro and Pro Max versions are only 10GB anyway.

Hey! Nice content! Do you know about sasmung ssd t9 4tb connects to iphone 15 pro max ? who knows? cause people say that Sandisk Extreme Pro 4 tb needs more than 4,5 W that is unreal to connect to iPhone 15PM

Ok what am I doing wrong? I have the Samsung t7 external drive. The apple camera app will record to it. When I direct the black magic app to it. The storage icon in the black magic app starts flashing and i can do nothing with it. I move back to internal and it works. I have looks for answers and cannot find one. Hope someone can help me out. Thank you.

Do you have the link for Magsafe Magnetic Ring?

This will also work with future Qi2 Android phones since they’ll have the same MagSafe connection

Does the magnet affect the disk?

Can you use the same ssd for Mac and android.

Great idea, but one issue is running out of battery before your shooting. My 12 Pro will run out of battery a,d with .5TB I never ran out of storage. My new 15 Pro has 1 TB. How do you address the power issues unless you go to a docking station with multiple I/O ports with a USB-C power in port like I have for my iPad Air Gen Pro?? No one has answered that question. Seems like we need a 2-1 USB-c cable that will supply power and well as the video. Just sayin’!

I use to do this but use the t7 shield

Just add a thin cotton cloth between the charging pad and the FineWoven case. My Taupe has no ring mark since 9/23

Samsung SSD 7 dosen’t work on my iPhone 15 por max, still using thunderbolt 4

About that SanDisk drive… there has been a serious problem with recent ones losing all the data on the drive. All WD will do is to replace the drive with another one from the same unreliable series. So beware. Samsung also had a problem with their pro drives a couple of years ago. I don’t remember the model numbers. I recently bought a small Kingston ssd thats 2TB and has a 2GB/s read/write speeds. Seems to be a reliable model. Much smaller than these drives. Was on sale on Amazon for $134. I don’t know if it’s still on sale. Model SXS2000/2000G I have nothing to do with Kingston, so I’m not shilling for them.

They don’t actually. Standard hard drives they would for sure but not with SSDs.

I just started watching this and perhaps I need to get to the end of the video to comment but going to anyways. Isn't this all irrelevant if you use the FREE Blackmagic Camera app which allows you to save 4k 60 log footage internally? I personally use this app because I have full control over ISO and shutter angle and set ISO between 1100-1400 which is optimal for the most dynamic range with this sensor. The iPhone camera app does not allow you to adjust ISO, shutter, or save 4k 60 log internally. I only use the native camera app to take photos now and programmed the new side button to open the Blackmagic Camera app for quick access. Add the new Polar pro case and variable nd filter, and in my opinion it becomes the most powerful, thinnest, and lightest pocket camera to exist I think and no funky looking ssd and cable attachment hanging off the back of your phone which will most certainly damage your usb-c port at some point.

I bought the Sandisk SSD for my 15 Pro Max. When I plugged it in, it did not show up in my files app. I called Sandisk and was told that the SSD had not been tested with the iPhone 15. So, he was saying, or implying that it did not work with this phone. I returned the SSD and got the Samsung T7 Shield. It did show up in my files folder, but there was no way to transfer files from the photo library to it. The T7 had 3 programs on it, one for Android, one for Mac, and one for Windows. The Geek person at Best Buy said it needs a program from Apple to work. So, how do all these people I see doing videos on these SSD's get them to work? What am I doing wrong?
