Also can confirm the 52mm thread stays in place and doesn't need to be removed when sliding in or out the phone. This design was implemented so that the lens filter area can be made for other adaptors or lens sizes or even other mobile cases with inbuilt threads etc.

How about the ultra wide lens? Do you get vignette when using it? It seems quite deep from the 52mm filter thread to the iPhone lens.

@chunkykizza

2 ай бұрын

Yes wide angle will vignette slightly for the base 52mm adaptor. Other Adaptors will be made to utilise all lenses. But the adaptor needs to fairly large in order for the Wide angle not to vignette. Most ND accessories for iPhone will vignette slightly on the wide angle. It's very wide.

I purchased the 15 Pro Max with 512gb and the Brandon Lei Case. Its simply and ultra-capable without going overboard with rigging. Its important not to lose sight that the iPhone paired witj the Blacknagic camera app is all about convenience / performance. I'm very happy with the final results and the speed I can compose and film is astonishing. I film short case studies and social media commercials for a well-known Home Improvements channel.

Micheal i love your content and i want to know what stand are you using for ipad pro

Hi! What is that beautiful iPad stand you have in this video? Thanks ++

Hey Michael, this looks like a pretty promising rig so far in the market even compared to the major brands like smallrig or beastgrip ! But the only issue that I can see here is that wheter you can charge the phone when the phone is mounted on this while recording..? since the usb c port is directly connected to ssd card connection within the mount.. how would you continue to record without having to take the phone off and charge which will be a 'DOWNTIME' while other rigs, you can connect a usb c hub and through PD port and supply a continued power to the phone, this will prevent the downtime. I am pretty keen know if they thought about this because if you are recording in ProRes Log 4k 30/60, the battery will drain quickly.

@chunkykizza

I think you'll find in normal usage you will only need to charge at the end of the day. Especially on the 15 Pro Max and especially if you put into Airplane mode.

The new iRe5 case on kickstarter has a built-in microSD slot (up to 1TB), even more minimal for everyday use! 😊

This looks amazing. There is just two one nagging things that make me take pause. First is the 52mm filter mount. I like that it’s universal. But what about lenses? SmallRig and Neewer cages have interchangeable plates to mount 17mm, M, and T style lenses. I’m already pretty vested in lenses. If they intend to make lens mount options I’m in. Lastly is the lack of support for the iPhone 16’s new multifunction button. This one isn’t a huge deal, as I’m pretty sure the case will have all the functionality that the Apple’s extra button/touch slider will have. But no lens support is a deal breaker for me

I’m looking at getting into real estate photography and would love to use my iPhone for this. Is there a wide angle lens that would be good for this. This is the lens I was told to get for a canon camera, Canon EF-M 11-22mm f/4-5.6 STM Lens Thank you for your help

The filter module is nice but I often use 17 mm threaded lenses. Wonder if there will be an option for that? Thanks. Appreciate you.

@chunkykizza

2 ай бұрын

17mm lens Filters are on the cards, this is partly the reason the filter area is removable, it allows for users to make their own, but also allows for future releases of in demand stuff, just like a 17mm thread for each camera :)

I’d love to see Apple’s native app offer a couple of different flavors of Apple LOG. I think they have gone overboard by restricting recording to 422 HQ. At least one other codec should be available - 422 LT or even HEVC LOG. That could really simplify the rigging of the phone and eliminate the need for an SSD.

All looks good but one thing has me thinking. The distance between the filter mount and the lenses might cause some bad vignette on the ultra wide lens. This is something I'd like to see .

@chunkykizza

Yes the current 52mm thread will vignette on the Ultra wide, but this area is removable for future lens adaptors and also if you had your own case with 17mm threads etc. 😊

52mm sounds like a really small thread size, particularly given that, with a case and the grip itself, there will be a little distance between the camera and the filter itself. Particularly interested to know if there is vignetting using the ultra wide lens.

@chunkykizza

Hey Steven, designer here :) yes the Ultra wide does vignette with the base 52mm lens thread unfortunately. The good news is this lens thread area is removable and we plan on releasing other threads with the trade off being it won't be as portable as in order for the Ultra wide not to vignette the lens thread needs to be massive, infact our early designs had a much larger lens thread so all cameras could be utilised, but it just made the design to bulky and realistically outside of the initial concept of being portable first as a core tenant.

@@chunkykizza Thanks for the (honest) reply. Yeah it makes sense that something has to be compromised in the name of a slim profile design.

iPhone 16 Pro and Max now supported 😊

I love the innovation we’re starting to see in this market. My issue with this design is that, in its current state at least, there doesn’t seem to be an option to add a USB-C microphone since the usb port is taken up (and covered) by the case itself. Yeah I know there are plans for a future “studio” version, which is great, but that’s more of a “someday” thing. I think a lot of people are looking for an all-in-one solution as opposed to something that might answer a couple of concerns (primarily storage). The other thing I see (and I could be totally off here) is that anyone who sees the need for a grip with this much storage is clearly somebody that takes filming on an iPhone more seriously than a casual user. Casual users have no idea how much storage you need because they typically record at a much smaller format. So if that’s true, then these people probably also already have lenses typically T series lenses or M series lenses. I have a number of cages that have adaptors for both. If this case had a solution for fitting either of those lenses, then that would make it more attractive to people who might be more of a pro market. And yes, I do realize there is a thread for filters, but many people who are in the iPhone film or videography space have probably invested in specialized lenses for iPhones. So again, I think it’s fantastic that this company has started to explore the space of iPhone cages that have something built-in internally that we might find more useful (in this case memory storage) however, I feel like the design of it is being targeted to a specific user base, but that user base needs more features for it to be attractive. Obviously, I don’t speak for everybody because that would be ridiculous, but from my own experience, I’m waiting for something that just comes with more features before I invest.

The campaign does not have a single video that shows in detail how this works, and they apparently don't have one to give you at the moment. The SSD, if chosen, is no-name. A current, 4th generation standard size NVMe will not run on an iPhone because they draw too much power. It's possible that a 22mmx30mm NVMe will draw less power, but it also means putting a 1TB or larger NVMe in a much smaller enclosure. Query what this means for heat, which is already an issue with standard size NVMe enclosures. If you want to try this, it's already available on Amazon for less money and free 30 day return if you aren't happy. Not noted in the video above, shipping for this proposed product to the U.S. is not cheap.

Lots of work went in to finding the correct NVME drive which balances performance and power consumption. We stand by the NVME choice 100% and it has one of the best TBW for its class.

@@roryonabike5863 For sure that's no issue, I can give you a full breakdown of the drive if you like. There is a correction though, we did plan on using NVMe4.0 but changed to a 3.0 devices for reasons I'll get to. Current 3.0 drive use a Maxio Controller, and uses Micron TLC nand flash. It's NVME3.0, drive actually caps out a ~2,000MB/s sequential until full, but the 10Gbps USB controller Maxes at 1,000MB/s. SSD maxes out at 2.7w, but as the bus is limited to 10Gbps, total ssd drive and USB conversion consumption stays around 2w. This is a good thing as the controller doesn't heat up as much and uses less power, and honestly there is no need for really anything over 400MB/s from the Iphone. The 1TB drive has over a 700TBW life cycle as well. The SSDs are manufactured by SCY. They are typically a wholesale manufacturer for enterprise solutions and don't really sell retail. Their 2230 NVMe and M.2 drives are used in many OEM laptops and tablets. The SSD's used in our solution will have some small customisations, to reduce power at the expense of speed as we are limited to the 10Gbps bus so there is no need for the Maximum 3,500MB/s offered by there off the shelf enterprise solution. We originally wanted to use NVME4.0 as it was only a few dollars more to swap, but it was overkill because of the 10Gbps speed limitation + the drives had a lower TBW capacity and higher power draw (Up to 3w), so really didn't make much sense to use a NVME4.0 drive.
