Bro, where to buy the charging station for the pegboard?

Amazing video 💪🏼 Audio is really important 🔥😉

Another audio tip worth doing when it comes to mixing/editing is De-essing when it comes to spoken dialogue. Saying words with high energy sibilants can break viewers' immersion in a video and tire their ears, annoying them if exposed to sibilants for too long.

Hopefully, you guys enjoyed this video! What other tricks are worth doing for audio?

Thank you for video!!! Very useful! What app do you use on your phone? I hope it will work with my a7iii.

Thank Matthew for this HONEST review of Cineback. As of today, October 8th, 2024, yours is the ONLY one that says the Cineback is basically a D tap splitter, very heavy compared to other camera modifiers, and it makes it difficult for the user to press the Mode button on his camera. This is exactly what I need to know to make an informed decision of buying a camera modifier.

Dunno Matt, I have the FX30 version, it does fit tight but that is good. Still, there is enough clearance to use all the buttons, no problems at all and I am bug guy, like 1'90(m) and 100kg+.

Great engagement. Simple fact of the matter is you CAN use an iPhone to shoot. Don't think they ever told anyone user their setup except they show what's possible. I know it's your opinion that "the point is to be minimal", but shot on iPhone simply means an iPhone was the camera. I have rigged up my phone sometimes because it's easier to shoot that way and I didn't have the funds to have a good video camera yet.

Was this video necessary ☠️

And why do you rig a RED bro? That should be cringe too in your way of thinking

Bro, you can get nice results too by just adding a filter, a good third party app and knowing the best angles. In some cases you can use negative and positive fill. They rig it up in cinema mode to make it seem as good as a Red or Arri.

You're totally right. It's always cool seeing what they can do with the expensive gear, but when you add on extra glass, perfect lighting, etc, it takes away from the real world implications. Not to mention, an old 2010 Canon Rebel would look just as good with the same attachments and lighting.

To clarify some of the comments: The iPhone is not what makes it cringy. What makes it is the not so smart financial decision to rig out a phone when you can go for a mirrorless or compact cinema setup. Of course, the iPhone is impressive, no doubt. Just kinda beats the whole point of a "phone camera" Hopefully this clears up.

bro you completely missed the point.

First, your video is under-volume. Second, the video has many awkward silences. Third, it is poorly edited or not edited at all. "Shot on iPhone" isn't cringe; in fact, it proves how well you can push your iPhone or any other smartphone to go cinematic without requiring any lens or attachments. Watch one of "fpt."'s latest videos where they complain about the new iPhone 16. I hope this will change your perspective on iPhones and help you improve the quality of your RUclips videos.

Still living in 2000s & thinking shot on iphone in Cringe ?🤣

I truly dont notice video better than what a iphone x can shoot

It's increasingly common to hear "Oh but they're using this expensive light and all this expensive gear and this expensive rig..." Yes they are because they would have use it anyway regardless of whether or not they used the iPhone. The idea is that when the iPhone is used in a professional setting, it can be used as a professional camera. You don't have to, but it's something you can do. Most of this commentary comes from people who already have a camera, some of us don't have a camera that can shoot 4K HDR 422 10-bit LOG. Point a camera that is less expensive (Body and lens) than the iPhone 16 Pro ($999) and can offer the same (or better) results. New up-and-coming filmmakers, remember; getting the job done supersedes the gear you use.

The funny thing is when you add an external lens to the iPhone the LiDAR sensor thinks you are trying to take a macro shots and will swap between cameras and wont focus. Am I missing something or are these guys getting a much better camera app than what ships with iPhone?

Its just apple marketing at work, same as they pay movies to make good guys have iphone and badguys anything else

your haircut is more cringe

“This camera is possible to achieve this”. It makes sense because if you take out a $12 fujifilm camera from 2006 with all the side gear, it wouldn’t look like the shot on iPhone stuff. Also when a movie uses a camera, it’s not just the camera we all know. So the advertisement isn’t lying or anything. It is still shot on the phone and they pushed it to the max like all pros do with every camera. Still impressive imo

Yeah shot on film is also cringe. It doesn't matter that you are shooting on film when the lens you are using is upwards of 20-30 thousand dollars for a film camera. See how ignorant your point is. The whole point is of how good the film is that you are shooting on. In this case, it would be the sensor and the imagine processing.

Do you use nd filter and which one u using 😮

U exposing me 😢

I agree but it’s funny because I go to concerts and they take away my camera but I slide with my iPhone and external lenses and mic 😅so basically better with stabilized camera in my pocket but when people see me with a camera rig they say… no cameras allowed phone is ok 😮so it’s funny because my naked phone is better than my camera stripped down and I have an option to rig it once I’m in the venue no one bats an eye but once I’m vlogging with camera it’s not allowed but vlogging on the phone is ok ✅ 👍 everything is just so cringe 😂❤

i agree

If you used a professionally camera you use all the same entree equipment what's the difference.

lol bro you’re cringe

You dont know what you are talking about. They don't use anything less for an Arri camera in terms of support gear. Infact , they didnt use any cinema glass or any lens for the apple event that was shot on an iphone if u check the BTS. They could have done that , but they didnt -. The whole point is to showcase how it stacks up to a cinema camera in a high production environment , They use the same "90% of support that actually does the majority of the work " for the Arri cameras as well . They don't use anything + for the iphone that they wouldn't use in any high production shoot. This is a high production shoot showcase , ofc they will use high production equipment , but you are comparing it to a low budget " i grabbed my iphone and went to the market w it to shoot something " . This was never the point. Also for ppl who does not have a second camera body but have spare cine glass, you can easily throw your iphone on a gimbal w a DOF adapter and some cine glass now as your B camera for a concert or interview . W apple log you can color match it very well to a Sony. You glance over these facts , this is not MADE to use in a high production environment , They are just showing that it does work there as well.

The 28 Years Later "shot on iPhone" feels like it should be disqualified. Yes it's shot on iPhone, but really only for the sensor and maybe because it can shoot LOG. Monkeyman 2024 had some scenes shot on iPhone, inside a tuk-tuk and a car crash. Doubt those scenes in Monkeyman had anything more than a case and a mount for the iPhone.

They also have perfect lighting setup, not accurate representation of real world use at all. Low light is extremely muddy which is understandable for a phone camera, but the false advertising is just cringe.

Totally agree!

How do you fit the iPhone into your workflow?

A quicker faster setup is to use a reverse umbrella with a diffuser on. Yes, not quite as soft, but much quicker to set up and takes up less space, which sometimes is another limitation. I would always use two lights anyway to get a bit more light on the talent.

Thanks for the amazing tips. Subbed

This video was super helpful, definitely want to try using a book light setup soon!

I like the idea of having the monitor on the camera left side for the A.C to have a look at the menu system, as opposed to having a small gap at the back where the screen is flipped out between the15mm rods and the Vmount battery. If you are shoulder mounted on the right side, you can easily use the touch screen settings, but these days DP's will always have an external monitor hooked up to the mirrorless body. I'm not 100% sold on the idea of the 4 Dtap splitters via the V mount. I mean most IDX batteries have 2 Dtaps ports on either side with USB connection too. I think for Steadicam Rigs this will be good to keep the camera top heavy, but for handheld use, I'd rather have it stripped down without the cage and chuck it on a RS4 Pro with wireless focus. Thanks for sharing nonetheless champ.

I totally agree that having a good "middle zoom" is essential to anybody's kit and should probably be the first lens to consider when gearing up. I guess my "go to" lens would by my Sony 20-70mm f/4. It seems to be permanently attached to my FX30 even though it's a full frame lens. ( Before I got the 20-70mm my "go to" lens was the Sony 18-105mm f/4.) I also have a Sigma 24mm f/1.4 prime, but I've mostly use that lens for stills with my 𝛼7II. Other lenses I bring for video shoots are the Sony 10-20mm f/4 and the Sony 70-200mm f/4 macro. All the Sony lenses are "G" glass. So far, nothing but positive feedback from my clients concerning this lens package.

Which is your go to lens setup?

People have to be real with themselves and realize it’s the way they perceive the reviews that holds them back. It’s not the reviews, so the reviewers shouldn’t be blamed. I don’t hear any reviews about how you have to buy an fx30 because the gh5 isn’t good enough, or to buy this and buy that. They are just reviewing the gear. I do agree with the sentiment of this though, well said overall

The only clients that would take you seriously with a glorified battery mount are the wrong type of clients… the ones that know nothing about cameras but care about cameras… you want clients that know nothing about cameras but do care what camera you use or those that don’t care at all and don’t know about cameras. You never want to work for someone who is so insecure that the physical size of the camera makes a difference to being hired

I feel like a lot of the complaints or "Cons" as you stated, are not really cons, but rather, lack of research on your end. It's clear that this is not a product for you. But that does not make it a bad product. I for one, appreciate a heavier camera. You may not, and if you do not, then do not add more weight by using a cineback.

we bought this camera for small form factor !!! WHO NEEDS this rubbish additional heavy rubbish sh_t

The cineback is more about looks than functionality. We rig the camera to add functionality and more ergonomics to ease the use. Everyone rigs differently to suite their needs So no one has the same rig. For example: we add more weight to elimanate micro jitters and balance the grip to have one hand handheld swings. We add hotshoes to mount a monitor for a biggere screen to add luts or false color also to get to assess focus and to easily derig. We add a zoom f3 to get xlr audio with 32bit float audio backup We add mounts for bigger batteries to power up the whole system from a single swappable giant battery We add top and side handles to improve stability of operating handhels and get those low angles shots and mice attachments The cineback is more for show and offer a clean starting point, but its more like adult lego sets where you can mix in other brands and redesign it as you see fit. Personally i would look at the parts and make a list Then starting making my own design until i get my optimal rig

Cool gadget. Are you a cinematographer or a videographer?

Thank you for giving a good and bad assessment. I’ve debated on this equipment but what you said about buttons being difficult to press sealed the deal. I’m gonna pass. Interesting how the camera looks has become so important. The thing we use to feed our vanity has become the thing of vanity.

Why rig out a camera if you are just run and gun?

My dude, you're filming INSIDE a soft box. All of the walls and ceiling are white. Yes, expose for the space, not the face. But once that is done, just point your light anywhere towards the ceiling from the corner to a few feet in front of your subject. Watch your monitor and adjust the angle until you get the look you want.

Cage + Rod system are usually made to support LWS standard, measured from center of optical sensor to the rod. Using Cineback means that you have to buy adjustable type of lens and matte box supports or additional adapters. However, the biggest downside is difficulty to swap between the rig and gimbal. Everything is bolted down instead of using quick release.
