Same here. Mic is not working well at ALL. (S23 Ultra) yet on some Amazon reviews I hear great results. I am going to try what the OP suggested. Thanks for the coverage, OP. Edit ; Both 3.5 cables only have two lines. Might have been a mistake over at the QC department.
@@teohontech7141 darn. Do you think it would work as a photo/video tool at scale? We take photos of cars for dealerships and I’m trying to find the right combinations to maximize cell phone quality photos. My problem is the starting and stopping wobbles.
@@hudsontoo1212 It will definitely reduce camera shake. And together with the OIS of the phone camera, it may work. The quality of the footage is as your have seen in this video. To get even better stabilisation you will need a gimbal.
Quick qustion. How do you like the adapter for the mic and powerbank? That is kind of smart.... but I am curious if will impact audio when using it with a mic and powerbank at the same time.
This rig is a bit too bulky the then hand grips off the edges of a rig. The Moment MagSafe Filmmaker Cage is likely an easier and cleaner system for most. The Moment MagSafet Filmmaker Cage will also stand up on the table as it has a decent foot base.
I have a Google Pixel 6 Im trying to figure if I could fit a DJI Mic reciever into the usbc at the side. It looks like I can slide the phone to the left or right
I've not recorded music with this mic before so I can't say much. Anyway, if the audio is not good enough, you can always get your own mic (at extra cost of course)
Just a question… when I have tried a similar mic setups I have to unplug the lighting adapter to hear sound on play back. Is this the case with your setup or am I doing something wrong. I am appreciate your answer. thanks
Unfortunately I face that problems sometimes too. When I use a shotgun mic, I can't hear playback from phone when mic is connected to the port. But when I use my Saramonic Blink 500 wireless mic, I can hear playback from phone even when that's connected to the port.
No sound here either-it’s very confusing and frustrating-thanks for your video!! The instructions that come with this are inadequate and you have filled in a lot of gaps… But I cannot get this thing to record using this external mic. I’ve tried all sorts of things and it’s not working :-(
If you need to mount other accessories, then get the cage. If you want really smooth videos, get the gimbal. I recommend you try shooting video with iPhone default video stabilisation and see if that works for you, then decide whether you need a gimbal for even more video stabilisation.
This is a perfect Mobile Vlogging Kit, got it about a week ago, shot an unboxing video on it.
R U Paid for Commenting on all Smallrig Video?
What an incredible presentation
thanks for the video, about to order this for the iPhone 14 Pro Max.. wish me luck
Great video!!! Thank you so much!! I had no idea how to set this thing up, and you helped so much!
I love mine, I just wish Smartrig had an adjustable lens holder for smartphones like they have for the cages for specific smartphones.
Yeah that would be nice. Most lenses are only available for iPhone though... rarely do I see good ones for Android.
Oh thank you, this is good to know. I was about to just assume I could use lenses. Is the case too small for the lens clip to fit?
So the new Galaxy 24 does not fit
On the adapter for mic for Samsung phone. Is the adapter included in the kit, or do you buy it separately. And if so, name of product? Thanks.
The adapter is included. All the items required for recording videos with phone is included in the box
Great video! Thanks a lot!
Thank you for this. Would you recommend this for multiple ppl? For example if we are doing a table talk with 3 ppl, would this be good to use?
It may be better to put a camera on a tripod. Shotgun mic pointed at the people talking should pick up voice well.
What adapter did you use with your S21? I just got this and had the same issue...no sound is picked up at all when recording.
Can't remember exactly as I no longer have the review unit. Make sure your 3.5mm cable has 3 instead of 2 stripes.

Great review thanks!
Have you found a setup like this that allows you to start and stop, and adjust exposures with the hand grips?
Not that I know of. All these handphone camera apps unfortunately rely mostly on onscreen controls.

@@hudsontoo1212 Consider using a remote shutter to begin your captures. A handheld gimbal would work too.
I have xiomi selfie stick with a bluetooth small device to start and stop video/photo. i use that
Can I install it with a gimbal?
I don’t think so.
10:42 ¿Name of app for recording on the iPhone?
I use Moment. The other popular app is Filmic Pro.

For the mic, the adapter is not necessary because you can get a 3.5mm to lightning cable. If you have a powerbank, that should not affect mic quality.
@@teohyc I will be most likely sticking to Android which is why I kind of thought it was nifty.
Can I used Galaxy 24 on it I do heap of filming
Yes

There’s a good amount of space for any connector at the phone’s port unless it’s a huge connector.
Small rig or ulanzi u rig pro 2 which case is better ?
They should perform the same.
They should perform the same.
Is the mic good enough for recording a band? Thank u for the vid
I've not recorded music with this mic before so I can't say much. Anyway, if the audio is not good enough, you can always get your own mic (at extra cost of course)
if i have this with 65m ulanzi lense, then my dream come true😁

Gimbal or cage??? For iPhone 14 pro max
If you need to mount other accessories, then get the cage. If you want really smooth videos, get the gimbal. I recommend you try shooting video with iPhone default video stabilisation and see if that works for you, then decide whether you need a gimbal for even more video stabilisation.
Does the iphone need nd filters?
No. iPhone lens aren't that bright/fast to begin with.
Does work for android?
Yes
Solid review. Cheers
its looks to big :P i would rather use simple tripod with mic extra only
Agreed I would only use the tripod for grip. Its just a bit to intrusive
