Apple may be talking up the iPhone X‘s camera, but can the smartphone absolutely alter a “proper” video setup? That’s what administrator and videographer Tristan Pope set out to test, cutting his new ball blur “Smoke and Mirrorless” absolutely on the iPhone X.
Pope is no drifter to iPhone videography. Back in 2015, he appear an absolute movie, “Romance in NYC“, attempt absolutely on the iPhone 6. Pope apparent that with a smartphone, forth with a accumulating of mounts and accessories – including a GorillaPod adhering to his face – he could not alone get movie-quality footage, but in a far added affordable and adjustable way.
That aforementioned appearance agitated advanced to today. While the iPhone adeptness be different, the access of application affordable accessories is the same. For “Smoke and Mirrorless” he commutual the iPhone X with Moment’s wide-angle and telephoto lenses, a Zhiyun Tech Smooth 3 Axis Gimbal, and an Yongnuo LED video ablaze wand, calm with a bargain Amazon tripod and an Anker array pack.
As article of an expect, of course, Pope generally gets asked what he thinks the “best” smartphone is for videography and photography. “This catechism is not as aboveboard as it acclimated to be,” he credibility out. “Currently with the technology advancing the way it is, you cannot absolutely go amiss with annihilation you accept in the iPhone, Pixel, Samsung flagship buzz lines.”
The iPhone X has becoming a atom in his toolkit for its 240 fps 1080p mode, and its adeptness to shoot 4K at 60 fps. Still, it hasn’t chock-full him attractive enviously at some of the appearance added smartphones are alms today. That includes Google’s Pixel range, which has “a bigger accurateness to their photos that I ambition iPhone X would booty advantage of,” he says.
The final workflow has a few altered accomplish to what you’d do with DSLR footage, Pope tells me. One big agency is the absence of abyss of field: the iPhone X’s Portrait approach can artificially accomplish bokeh for stills, but so far doesn’t do the aforementioned for video. That requires activity through in post-processing to “trick the eye” into seeing article different.
