Looking at the side-by-side comparison starting at 7 mins mark, I find the Apple log side to be faded vs the regular side. I'm not sure if you labeled it wrong, but the right side looks more vibrant while the left side looks faded.
I CAN CONFIRM.... I have successfully recorded to a UHS-1 Micro SD Card (not a uhs-2) using ProRes. Here is what I have/did: - iPhone 15 Pro, white, 512GB - SanDisk Extreme Pro 512GB Micro SD card V30 ($52 bucks on Amazon) - UNI SD USB-C Card reader adapter ($12 bucks on Amazon) The iPhone was set to ProRes, LOG, 4k24, main camera. (91 minutes with 512GB micro SD Card) I formatted the card in my MacBook Pro 13" M1 to ExFAT. Popped the card in the reader, plugged the reader into the iPhone and recorded 1 full minute of video. No errors, no stopping. Playback was smooth. CONCLUSION: NO, you do not need an SSD drive. And also, NO you do not need a faster UHS-2 SD Card. As long as you have a fast UHS-1 card, you can do it. NOTE: This will not work with 4k30 or 4k60. If you set your camera to one of those, it WILL record, but your resulting file will end up being some wonky frame rate around 24p'ish. Basically, the iPhone will drop frame rate before it stops recording. So if you need to record 4k30 or 60, you will need a UHS-2 SD Card or an SSD. But 4k24p works just fine using a cheap Micro SD Card UHS-1.

I was already excited for the new phone, but seeing how you utilize this new feature and putting it to work, I’m GEEKING OUT!!! Subscribed for more future iPhone content.
I was already looking up USB MicroSD adapters to use with iPhone 15 Pro rather than a long cable for an external drive. I really want it to be as minimal as possible. Glad to know you can use SD/MicroSD instead of just a full size drive.
Nice insights! Great job putting this together, love how the footage looks! 👏
This is awesome! Cant wait for cases to be made
Love the video!!!! Keep up the great work!
This video blew up fast! Man this was one thing I was going to test and make a video on and you beat me to it! Nice!! This is awesome!
This was amazing! I love how everyone's immediate thought was SSD, but you're over here like "but what if SD Card?" Interesting to see it work.

USB C opens up some good options. I just tried a CFExpress Type B reader and a 512 GB Angelbird card in my iPhone 15 Pro Max and it worked perfectly. People are also using Crucial SSD and have printed holders & interface already out there.
Nicely done!

Becca from The Verge noticed that if your medium isn't fast enough, it will fall back to 30 fps without any notification. Probably something to be aware of when recording to an SD card. They might be too slow in some cases. In addition make sure that you have the proper cable.

Thank you so much you just save me so much money now I can use 4k and log with a mini sd card I had laying around instead of buying a ssd
Wow. I am actually very surprised at how good the colours look while recording in log, it's much better than standard. The only thing is the amount of storage it takes up because of the raw format. The only thing is that some people don't want to upgrade their phone so a cheaper alternative to shoot in raw video is just to use an old digic 5 canon camera with magic lantern.
You can get very short USB-C cords and a MagSafe magnet (for those phones that don't have MagSafe but still want MagSafe stuff) to use on the SSD. It actually works!

Stalman's video with the Apple Log clip Post-Processed looks great. I'll probably copy iPhonedo's samsung drive mounting idea (w/ a magsafe sticker on the drive), but the cable system still needs clean up.
Is there an easy solution for using the one port for the SDCard and having a port for the microphone when using a iPhone camera cage/rig?
I've noticed that KZreadrs who discuss mobile phone video recording never mention the jittery effect that occurs when panning left to right. It seems that the phone camera's shutter speed may be the culprit. It's frustrating to see video examples that are either in slow motion or completely still like a webcam, as this doesn't accurately represent the normal video experience. It's crazy that phone manufacturers or reviewers aren't being honest about this common issue when promoting new models. Personally, the jittery effect makes me feel dizzy. It would be great if someone could ever address this problem.

Oh yeah totally. It’s a shutter speed issue that can be fixed with Blackmagic camera app or filmic pro. I just used the built in app for this quick example. Unfortunately Apple doesn’t allow for manual shutter speed adjustment.

Apple has decidedly distinguished the pro models from the base iPhones in the iPhone 15 range. There's so much possibility now with the iPhone 15 pro max.

@@KaioshinAemi doesn't work for prores? I wonder why
I just tested external recording prores log on Samsung T7, using original cable vs samsuung t7 cable. I saw that the iphone original cable will cause frame drop intensively and it took much longer to write to T7 after click stop recording when the usb-c gen 2 cable finishes saving the file to T7 right after I click stop recording without losing any frames. Therefore, using another usb-c cable for iphone pro (max) is the must to utilize its features
This is a fantastic feature for iPhones! Can this also work if you want to shoot standard 4K video directly to a SD card too?
I mean... I also ordered an iPhone 15 Pro exactly for those reasons... But it's still funny that recording to an SD Card and USB-C are a feature again... They already have been there years ago... And just were removed so that companies may ask you for way more money than they should.
This is very informative and exciting! I am getting the iPhone 15 thanks for this!
Nice, well this is revolutionary!!
Can you do a video on the best settings to use based on situation?

The h.265 would need to be in bit depths higher than 8 bits to look decent, maybe 10 bits which only takes up a bit extra storage
You can record to a SanDisk - Ultra Dual Drive Luxe 1TB flash drive. It's only $120 and it makes for a good way to grip your phone while recording

Hey man, excellent content on this topic, thanks! What file format do you use, ExFat or APFS? I’m looking to do the same for my iPhone, iPad and macbook.
I guess it makes sense if you have a few UHS-II cards spare, anything slower will skip frames from my tests. So cost wise its better to go SSD with T7/T9 ect and get 4tb for about the same price as a 256gb uhs-ii v90. Also theres plenty of short 10gbs cables and angled connectors to make a neat solution for handheld use
Can you let me know if it also will record to a high speed micro SD card? That would make this an even smaller setup if possible. Thanks for the video!
Cool, thanks!
Hey...those with the 13 and 14 Iphone models can record to SD cards with the Blackmagic Camera App. I have been using it for months now.
I've got the same 128gb phone and I've been messing around with the external recording. I put in a usb-c thumb drive with 1TB and could record to it, showing 119 minutes 4k. The read write is slow though. Here's what I noticed. If I record something and unplug too fast I don't get the whole recording, if I wait a while I do get the whole recording, but there is nothing telling you when the data transfer is done. I've ordered the usb-c to sd card reader because I have a bunch of fast sd cards. My plan is to get a spare case and attach the reader to it then tie back the cord, I'm hoping to use it on my osmo gimbal :)

Basically what Im noticing too. The speed at which you can hit record again after you stop will depend on the speeds of the the drive you use. The T5 can stop and start almost instantly, while the slower cards, I will hit stop and then some will take 10 seconds and others 30 seconds, but the native app will be frozen until it saves the video and you are able to hit record again. Depending on the use case and what footage you need that day, you can definitely get away with using the slower storage options, but if you need quick stop and start recording, you need to make sure you get a really fast storage option like the T5.
What mic are you using
you can use a usb c hub on the Iphone 15 try it, I am using a anker 7 in 1 hub
Thanks, very helpful. Ugh, did my wonderful Shure MV88+ iPhone mic just crash fatally into a Log? Can we rig to record to an external SSD and an external mic? Or must I buy another blasted Zoom F3 with wires and dongles and rig and blah-blah?

Wow I noticed the default grading looked WAY better on my TV, and checked on my iPhone 15 and they both looked fine but the right side still looked “nicer”. Is it a case of grading to suit the purpose? A “studio” shot or other indoor environment probably doesn’t need or want the full range of reality recreation you get outside - it’s not an impressive location scene. Anyway let me know - if it’s an interesting philosophical point, make a video about it?

5:48 yooo so clean

Omg...such revolutionary tech to be able to use sd card....but jokes aside, the softare part of getting video and photos from that 48mp sensor is impressive...against other 48mp sensors on android that is.
I’m imagining a case that has a m.2 style (2230?) ssd with USB-C that also allows for charging pass through? Somehow, that drive could quickly come out (solutions for this do exist) and be popped into a faster enclosure at the computer to quickly dump the drive. It’ll probably make the most sense to go SD Card due to it being cheaper, smaller, having less heat and more handable than m.2 drives. It is a neat idea to think of though, especially as SSDs get cheaper. You wouldn’t even need to go NVMe over SATA if you didn’t want to. But if you’re recording a lot at once? Just put a PCIe gen5 NVMe SSD in there and record normally while the dump station goes crazy.
