Well, you pay his production costs and he won’t have to get sponsors. Go ahead, feel good and pay the man’s wages or feel icky and let him post sponsored videos.
@@Pterodactyl-kn3ve To break this down to purely economical terms, to match your argument: This value proposition does not work for me. I watch(ed) this channel for reviews and advice by a trusted source. Mixing that with (imo too understated) advertising is a no go for me. There are plenty of channels that transparently indicate sponsorship in their video content and I have zero issues with that.
Wait is it said anywhere in the video? I noticed it in the description only after your comment, I would have never noticed that on my own, that feels super icky. Sponsorships are fine but not having it said explicitly in the voiceovers feels deceptive
You can see some of that look with the sample portrait photos they have, but the negative there is you’ve got to be 10 to 15 feet away. So it would need to be a fairly large studio space or shooting outside.
Handheld video is pretty tricky, but if you crank up the stabilization it can work. Haven’t tried on a gimbal, I normally use wide lenses on gimbals but it could likely work in some controlled situations.
@@iphoneographers I’m thinking of short clips of wildlife at 120 fps. The stabilization doesn’t have to be perfect, just better than or equivalent to the alternative, which is a mirrorless camera with a telephoto lens.
Basically it's 2x zoom, and if use the iPhone 1516 telephoto 5x zoom lens, it's 10x zoom? Then if use it on the Galaxy 23U 10x zoom, wouldn't it be 20x zoom?480mm yeah?
Basically, where we're at now is that you could reshoot the montage intro to 1980s best soap Dallas from your roof care of some highly capable Swiss engineers. It's not hoverboards and flying cars but I'll take it.
Is it said anywhere in the video that this is a sponsored video? After seeing it in the last line of the description (who reads that?) I watched the video twice and I can’t find a disclosure anywhere in the voiceover or on the screen. Maybe I’m mistaken? But I feel this is not enough of a disclosure that it is sponsored. IMO it should be stated on audio in the initial segment of the video. It’s ok to make sponsored videos but this feels deceiving
Yes of course. The first 10 or so seconds of the video upper left corner says “Includes paid promotion”, which is what RUclips requires for a sponsored video. Thanks for watching!
I did a video on that lens and I like it, but it’s hard to use because the focus is really tricky. So there’s really no comparison from a usability perspective, if you get that Sandmarc lens in sharp focus it looks good though, but then if you have a moving subject it can go out of focus quickly.
Blake, will you be looking at Moment and Freewell’s new cases for the 16 Pros? I’m curious how the cases will be with the new cut out that case manufacturers have to add (or delete) to support the camera control button.
I talked about the Moment case a little bit in a previous slomo video, and I really like it it works great. And I just got a freewell case. I’ll probably do a video about different cases or at least how they work with the lenses. Overall I like them though.
After watching this and your G Series video and a few othes, I drank the kool-aid and ordered the ultra set - all in one off KS. I have always respected your opinions so hopefully they will measure up!
They’re excellent. You’ll definitely be happy. If you’ve seen my other lens comparisons they are consistently at or near the top of my ratings. Make sure you get their ND filters too. Since they’re magnetic it’s best to use theirs. Let me know how they work out. Thanks for watching!
Looking for a case for iPhone16 Pro Max. I currently have a PolarPro for my 12 and it’s survived several drops and the ND filter is great. I was waiting for the new PolarPro to come out but based on this would you recommend Reeflex ?
The nice thing about ReeFlex is they use a 17mm mount, which is the same as Sandmarc. And then of course there are cages that accept that mount as well, so it’s more or less universal. But if you’re not worried about lenses then any will be fine, I like the new Moment case quite a bit.
@@iphoneographers thank you - tempted by lenses but the way I shoot they would slow me down. The upgrade from XR to 12PM was remarkable and reluctant to go back to lenses. Love the compressed space effects you get in your video though. That is something I would use a lot. ND filters are great though when required… which isn’t a lot in the UK. Direct sun light is the exception rather than the rule… not that there’s anything wrong with flat light 🙏🙏
I'm curious about the best lens that can work on TELE x TELE... either 15 pro or 15 pro max because I'm seeing Taylor swift in December with my sister and fiance and I'm just curious if it works hand held and if not which is the best tele lens preferably tele on tele but handheld.... thank you :) and is this 17mm?
just curious, is there an update on the newer cage 2nd generation 15 pro max and also the Brandon li small rig cage, would love to see long term reviews not just first look reviews just to see how it holds up in 2024 thank you
The problem is that cameră is trash in low light so tou will only get good quality in good light. Most likely that’s the reason none of the pictures or videos in this review were made in low light night scenarios
Thanks as usual. However, Two important parts are missing : - How it performs at low light ?! As all the footages are taken within the daylight. - How it performs within a handheld without moving your legs?
The lens has nothing to do with low light, it’s the iPhone camera and the 5X is not great in low light. I would use the main camera with a telephoto for that. And I say in the video that I recommend a tripod, but if you’re shooting stills you can go handheld.
@@iphoneographers thanks a lot for your reply and giving attention to the comments. - seems the lens doesn’t affect the low light quality. - I can shoot a very decent and stable handheld footages with the normal 5X if I’m not moving. What I’m wondering do I get the same result by using this lens or it will be shaky all the time ?
@@mertinanc because I’m shooting sports and indoor events. The current 120 works good for such types of shooting. However having a 240 m will be great and more effective
£1000 for the phone and then some more! Are you taking the piss or what? I've loved watching your stuff over the years. This bloke talks the talk and walks the walk kinda thing, but really, spend more money to be creative.............................. 🙏
Ngl. Feels kind of icky that this is a sponsored video.

Very cool. I’d love to see some handheld footage and maybe testing it on a gimbal, because sometimes a tripod isn’t practical.
With a long lens, that doesn’t make a lot of sense, since every movement of the camera is magnified.
@@JoltNet Tell that to everyone who shoots wildlife.

@DIYPackraft Shooting 120 will definitely help eliminate shake, so yeah that could work
2:13 Caught a cyclist flying behind a car trying to back out lol
Yep! That was a close one.

Yep, everything you just said is in the video. :)
Since the BeastGrip DOF mk3 seems to never be available, might as well get this. It’s cheaper, smaller, and will probably actually ship.
Looks tremendous :-) Thank you Blake 👍

I am really hoping to find a comparison of a iphone pic shot with 240mm and a native 5x shot cropped to the same field of view
I show that at the beginning of this video with those three shots of the lake from 24mm to 120mm to 240mm.
@iphoneographers thanks but the RUclips resolution ruins the comparison. Do you have pics posted so ewhere?

Could you compare with Sandmarc Telephoto 6x? Thanks.

Great videos, one question, why you haven’t make a review with the neewer series iPhones lenses?
I don’t have them!

Would have been better if you didnt cut the scene attaching it to Iphone, how is it attached ?
It’s a 17mm twist on. There are threads on the case.

Why doesn’t work this lens on de wide lens?
It’s designed specifically for the 5X.

so its just a x2 teleconverter?
It’s a 2X but for the 5X camera, so 10x total and first of its kind.
@@iphoneographers wouldn't their 2x lens do the same job?
@attilaerdeg2889 No. that’s the entire point of this new lens. It’s designed for the 5X, the other ones don’t work on it.
Make it with a T mount, 17mm thread will make people very uncomfortable to switch from to have close shoot via phone.
17mm is more universal. You can use it on ReeFlex and Sandmarc cases, but then also cages from SmallRig, Beastgrip and more.
Will it work with older iPhones I have 13 pro?
Already addressed in the video. The answer is yes but maybe some vignetting.
@@StevenDempseyArtist Thanks for replying i think i be waiting to i can upgrade my phone.
Super
I don’t, not convinced. Is this still a prototype?
No. It’s a final version, although an early release.
Reeflex really pushed the paid sponsorship on this one! I know channels have to make money but just doesn’t sit right. 😢
Great,,
Ahora prueba la diferencia con este lente Gosky 12X50 High Power Prism Monocular
property mount or T mount?
In the video, he says 17mm mount.
@@StevenDempseyArtist ye mb , i saw again the video xD.
17mm
I'm curious about the best lens that can work on TELE x TELE... either 15 pro or 15 pro max because I'm seeing Taylor swift in December with my sister and fiance and I'm just curious if it works hand held and if not which is the best tele lens preferably tele on tele but handheld.... thank you :)
and is this 17mm?
This one. It’s the only one that works.
are you always using the universal cage or do you go back and forth?
just curious, is there an update on the newer cage 2nd generation 15 pro max and also the Brandon li small rig cage, would love to see long term reviews not just first look reviews just to see how it holds up in 2024 thank you
It still works fine with the 15 Pro Max. :)
I would pay 50 quid for it no more
that 2x lens on the g series can you do a comparison please
My lord this is the lens that's gonna change the smartphone Telephoto game. Reeflex have done it again. 🎉
The problem is that cameră is trash in low light so tou will only get good quality in good light. Most likely that’s the reason none of the pictures or videos in this review were made in low light night scenarios
I have the same issue using the iPhone 15 ProMax. The 16 might be better since it’s using an improved sensor.
For sure. In low light you want to use the main camera with a telephoto lens on it.
@@Apuat the x5 camera is the same like o. 15 pro max
@@iphoneographers this was my point. It was nice if this was a 10x zoom for main camera not a 2x for 5x camera is useless

Great video. The Kickstarter is very expensive. I also want a telescope lens for the moon or space.
The best camera available for moon shots is the Nikon Coolpix P1000. Unreal
@@DocUK123 it is but it’s really old.
true the footages didnt look like iphone footage it just took the video footages on a whole new level
which is your favourite lens on the g-series lenses ? or top 3
Seriously, they’re all good. The ones I use the most are probably telephoto and anamorphic.
£1000 for the phone and then some more! Are you taking the piss or what? I've loved watching your stuff over the years. This bloke talks the talk and walks the walk kinda thing, but really, spend more money to be creative.............................. 🙏
Overpriced tbh
Apple has NOT innovated anything since the 2007 iPhone. The camera blows compared to Samsung and Google.
Very expensive... too much
