My simple iPhone setup for cinematic videos.

Today I'm showing you my video setup that I've begun using this year to maximise the balance between quality and ease of use.

My Colour Grading has been in part been made possible thanks to the Plugin Dehancer. I've partnered with them so that you can get 10% off of your purchase, if you decide to buy the plugin and use the code "TEODEHANCER".

And if you decide to purchase anything and would like to save some cash you can use my code "TEO10" to save 10% :)

Ohh and shoutout to @moment for making this setup possible with their cool mobile products hehe :)

Hello hello! I hope you've been well - it's been a wee while since my last video, but I've finally finished this one that I'm excited to show you! This is a breakdown of my current iPhone-video-setup that I've been using in Japan - I hope this can be of any use to you! :)


Wishing you a lovely week! <3

Hot damn! ❤🎉

[antonsemenyura]

voice, cinematic shots, sharing actual personal experience, warmth in colour, stillness and beauty of nature and city, all of that created a beautiful youtube video, and Iphone 15pro as a tool indeed pushes boundaries of mobile filmmaking. Thank you Teo

I am in no way a filmmaker but the way you shot and narrated this video was so good, I watched it all the way through. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Well done.

[adelover]

Literally just bought an iphone 15 pro yesterday night on ebay, while searching for the best video setup on youtube today and you posted this video! Just cannot believe in the perfect timing thanks for the inspiration!

[arunyu]

I just want you to know that I have been watching hours of youtube for the last week learning about cameras, video editing, accessories, and so much more. Yours is my favorite. The footage and editing is fantastic, and the information is golden. Thank you.

[okfmtop]

tbh my initial intention clicked on this video because of the title but eventually stayed because of his voice

[galanlefont]

not only the phone, that grading looks fantastic.

--- for fellow Android users, we can use mcpro24fps to capture log footage, it only supports 10 bit in some devices but it can bump the bitrate much beyond the base camera settings. there is also MotionCam, it can use software to encode 10 bit Prores 422 on any phone if the processor can take and allows to film RAW, but it's quite unreliable, at least on my old and worn out Pixel 4.

When I decided to get an iPhone 15 pro, your video showed up just in time.
This is so helpful, thank you so much!

[SefisCameraBag]

Can I say that this has inspired me to start my own YouTube channel. Big thanks to Teo

[hotsauce]

Literally just came back from Japan yesterday and shot everything on the iPhone 15 Pro. Loved the simplicity of just using what’s in my pocket and not carrying around any extra camera. Phone cameras aren’t perfect by any means but the ease of use and quickness to shoot is unmatched. This vid randomly popped up on my feed and now u have me considering getting some filters to up my game lol.

What a great line, Teo!

[vincechan_]

Teo, how are you so talented? Another awesome video!
I'm planning to use my iPhone 15 Pro to create a mini vlog for my trip next week, and your video popped up at just the right time—perfect timing, haha!
Thank you for your brilliant content once again!

[pdcorlis]

Just discovered this video! Thank you for validating a simple, no nonsense approach to shooting videos. I also love Moment’s gear and think the clip-on 67mm filter attachment for their phone case simply solves the shutter speed mismatch problem. Most of all, your work looks great. 👍🏻

[thoughtsoftim]

I literally just turned to this set up as I’m starting to shoot more photography content as well.

I came from the 13 Pro Max and now the 16 Pro.

Brought it out with me on photowalks and YouTube video shoots and I was amazed at how seamless this just fits my workflow. I’m able to focus more on my frame rather than worrying if someone will run away with my camera. Haha.

[analimalimon.]

I was just influenced to get that case and ND filter for my iPhone! I have a Fujifilm camera but I've noticed that the big lenses make me feel more self conscious when I'm shooting outdoors (or it's simply too heavy) and usually end up filming with my iPhone. So improving my iPhone's setup is something I've been thinking about for a while. Thanks so much for sharing your detailed perspective - and for the beautiful and dreamy shots!

[motsheoankone]

You just gave me hope to actually love my iphone 15 pro 🥰

[Gilian.M]

Watching your videos before bed makes me happy to be alive. The energy you give is just amazing and eye opening!

Wow yes talent and these amazing devices !
