CORRECTION: iPhone 15 Pro requires writing speed of 220 MegaBytes (220 MB/s) for external drives. Not Megabits or Mb as I mentioned in the later part of the video. All of the options I introduced pass for writing at minimum speed of 220 MB/s.
That flash drive will only do ~110MB/s writes (I have one and benchmarked it) the 400MB/s rating is only for the reads. You should try recording 4k60 prores log with it, you'll immediately see frames being dropped in the playback. At most you can safely do 1080p60 (edit: 4k24 looks safe) with it, 4k30 will also drop some frames (assuming you're recording in prores log).
I agree that would be possible, but is Prores LT even an option on the iPhone 15 Pro? I don't see it. Also anyone interested should take note that only the 256GB variant of the flash drive will do over 110MB/s, the 128GB looks to do closer to 60MB/s based on reviews.
My plan is to use the Black Magic App and film Prores Log 4K 60p internally on the iPhone 15 Pro Max and then save the file to the Flash Drive since it won't take any space in the pocket. You can have 2 or 3 of them if 256GB is not enough, it does not matter what the writing speed is. I also have the T7 paired with a 180-degree USB C to C adapter, it also solves your problem. I am looking for a 180-degree USB adapter splitter which supports data transfer and audio output at the same time.
The plan didn't work, mainly because the Black Magic App works horribly, it kept freezing and crashing after filming a few clips. Also, the image quality is lower than the original camera app since the file size is significantly smaller. Now I am sticking with the original camera app for Prores Log but 30p, and then increasing to 60p when editing.
@@feilivlogit’s cause you don’t have enough space in your internal iPhone to record your shoot. That’s why the crucial ssd is really important to hold all that recording data to the SSD Not internal storage on the iPhone. 📲

I came across this video while searching for solutions to deal with bulky SSDs. Putting an SSD in the pocket or bag makes sense to get a smaller setup. Perhaps adding a 90-degree L-shaped adapter to the connector at the phone side makes your life easier while holding the phone. Anyway, thanks for sharing the brilliant idea.
@@Spyzilla1850 the only “flash drive” I found that might work was the Kingston data traveler max.

And it’s almost the size of an ssd sticking straight out the end of the phone anyway so what’s the point
@@diamond_h0usI phone 15 pro max heats up when just open camera or charging, can u imagine doing both things with 15 pro max iOS 17 bull shit u hate yr phone I hate mine right now.
For sure. A lot of cameras even overheat while recording.. Can't imagine how a phone can do that while wireless charging, seems absolutely impossible. But I guess if it's cold enough or if the charger is cooled that could help...
What a great breakdown. Thank you for confirming my thoughts on a longer cable. I think a 3 ft cable with a right angle should work so that the cable doesn't loop as much and point more towards my pocket.
Samsung has a tiny pendrive with 256gb the only problem is it’s not using the usb-c connector, but worth keeping an eye on it for the future, perhaps next gen will get it
The only issue is the use of the physically bigger SSD and its cable with an iPhone cable. I do use a thumb drive, and found one that the transfer speeds are acceptable and it works well for me.
Really appreciate the discourse. For me Size is everything, that is for travel recordings. I really don't care about how slow getting the videos (not really slow - that is relative) off the storage drive and onto my computer when I am back home. So if the Samsung can hang with the write speeds... I am good.
Great video! I like the solution you came up with the higher speed cable SSD in your pocket and MagSafe charger. That will work great with my workflow.
Actually that thumb drive has a 400 MB read / 110 MB write speed as far as I can see on specifications section of Amazon product page (no write speed info on official Samsung page though). I don't have the Type-C version yet but I have the USB-A version and it is awesome. And also Samsung has a new SSD (T9) which has the same speed as Sandisk. Thanks for this great video!
Hi, first of all thanks a lot for putting effort to make this beautiful informative video.I just got my 15 pro and I was planning my honeymoon to thailand. I was searching all the options to record video in prores with my tiny storage 256gb iphone using an external storage device. You answered all my questions❤
nice. this is how i am going to do. i have 15 pro max 512 GB. I shoot internally then take a pause and transfer the content to external media like flash. advantage i get - no cable dangling around + external storage speed is not the concern + iphone cab be used easily with gimbals.
Great info. I just ran into this situation last night while filming extra footage at a wedding on my new 15 pro. I think going with a FireWire cable will help not only for speed but charging\power transfer.
Just ordered (Amazon prime day deal) the SSK 1TB USB Drive (SSD with both USB-A and USB-C duo heads, come with a little leather? porch too). USB 3.2 Gen2. Let's see if it work well with my new iphone 15pm 1T...
Having a USB 3.2 Gen2 x2 with 2000MB/S file transfer speed the hardware will produce way lower heat when compared to USB 3.2 Gen2x1 with 1050MB/s of transfer speed. Thus having exact compatibility will also create quick thermal throttling as the buffer will fill up quickly. It's better to stick with the recommended requirements than the minimum requirement.
Funny how after all that the winner was the cable and ssd in the pocket situation. I see ssd enclosures that are MagSafe and have PD inputs to charge simultaneously. Might be time for an upgrade.
Great video! I haven’t tried this yet but my idea was that since I carry a backpack, I’d get a USB C hub with an SSD and power bank attached to it, then just have a single wire from the backpack to the iPhone. Not sure if that’ll work but it’d be my ideal setup
I like the thumb-drive option; should b ok 4 short films. U could edit into a tablet (mine's iPad Pro 12.9" M2) via a Hyper hub. That hub has HDMI, USB-A, USB-C, card reader slots & audio 1/8". Shoot o/t phone/edit into the tablet with more real estate.
so if you're going to be recording in raw footage (ProRes of any kind), you're likely using iPhone 15 (Pro / Pro Max) on a mount or on a tripod somewhere. Hanging a long cable there is just not really the case. I would highly recommend some DIY to put another set of MagSafe on top of the battery pack. So the battery pack can go onto the iPhone, and the SSD can go on top of the battery pack.
I want to keep MagSafe free coz I need a solution to be used with OM6 gimbal. Is there a faster flash drive. Also if can be used with a case on the phone will be great
A great video, I'm glad I watched it all before I made the comment I was originally going to make, which was, everybody's over complicating things, just get us slightly longer cable and do it the way you're doing it.
Recording Pro Res and charging with a MagSafe Power Bank will stop your recording pretty quickly due to over heating issue - especially in hot weather.
ive got the Samsung flash drive 256gb and I tried to record log on it with my iPhone 15 pro 4k 60p and the phone displayed "to slow" and it stopped after a few seconds (from what I remember it was about 5 or 6 seconds)
….. They 3D printed a couple of different case style options that hold the SSD & the iPhone together, and it looks like one HELLUVA start to something really cool. When I have the funds to do so, I plan to purchase one of their cases and a drive… the SSD being the more expensive piece of the puzzle, obviously. Maybe sometime after Thanksgiving.
Hey man, thanks for the great video covering this topic! Quick question, is there a way to safely eject the SSD from the iPhone, or do I simply unplug after I’ve stopped recording? Thanks!
Very interesting video. I was planing to use my Apple Card reader with SD cards as I have so many and they are are lady in my work flow- but now I'm wondering if the card reader is fast enough. Thanks for the heads up.
Yeah there were different specs I found in different places. Some said 300 and some said 400. Pretty much my conclusion was that I wanted something faster.
Great video, mate! I already have the thumb drive and a case, at the time of this writing I'll be receiving my phone tomorrow... I like your preferred kit a lot for walkabouts, I might look into something like that. I got the thumb because I'll have my phone mounted on an X-grip camcorder handle (recording skateboarders doing tricks while following closely on my own skateboard). We usually record super close and pretty low with the wide angle, so the lighter the better. Having a dedicated walkabout/cinematic rig would be sweet though. Sorry for babbling, I'm just thinking out loud, lol. Cheers!
@@Rav3nEdits - hey Raven, I've had good luck so far (recording Pro/Log at 60 fps)! One thing of note, everything gets hot! Not uncommon though, my GoPro gets hot when shooting like this. Also, I found out if you use the Blackmagic camera app, you can record internally, then just use the drive to move files!
I’m using my phone to film for customers on a daily basis (believe it or not). With a cage, you have many more mounting options. But when you want to keep it in your pocket for casual shooting, charging and shooting ProRes at the same time is a problem. Brainwave, why not keep the battery in your pocket and only charge when you don’t film? And then use one of those 180 degree connectors to attach the drive with. You’ll keep swapping your drive and your battery but you’re ok with a little fiddling apparently with the drive cable sticking out of your pocket. Would that work for you?
Try using a crucial SSD for your storage setup. Smaller, and up to 4TB of storage capacity. I went with 1TB for now as my budget can afford for what I’m looking to do. Buy another one with 4TB in the future.
U meant the SanDisk? I had 3 now I am down to 2… Samsung I’ve never tried and the others (about 4-5) are LaCie - which are pricey but have several security feats and data recovery guaranteed by LaCie (Seagate now owns it).Those are quite tough like a 4WD!
Very useful, thanks! Although im still unsure. Should I buy the samsung t7 or Lexar SL500M 2TB SSD?? Could you comment about it? I think Lexar might be better option but im worried is not as reliable as Samsung´s
I’m seeing complaints of frames dropped with those thumb drives (not sure if they’re using h.265 or full ProRes). I’ll be getting a SSD with a small enclosure to try it. How often are u using NDs? I’m considering a clip on setup for occasional videos in harsh sun.
Got a video dropping soon with a pretty sweet ND from SmallRig. I use it occasionally when I know I’m going to be outside. But it’s nice to pop them off. FreeWell has some great NDs as well.
so i have an sandisk 2tb with 1000 write speed, and I when im trying to record in prores log, it says unable to record to external storage, does anyone know the problem here?
i have the 15 pro max and i got the prores and i even shoot in 1080 because when i record with my SSD samsum T7 i try to watch the video on my computer i can only listen to the audio the video its all black and shows a messege of codec error not support and thats not even in 4K can somebody helpr please?
I may have missed this in the comments, could you do me the favour of confirming how many minutes the 256gb thumb drive can record at 4K 60 ProRes. Thank you!!!
Why cant you just record on the phone and transfer later then you dont have to worry about charge ports and convenience in pockets and charging at same time?

According of the Data sheets the Thumb drive 256 GB has a write speed of only 110 MB/sec not 400 MB/sec , so its to slow for Prozess 4K 30/60 fps!
Yeah there were different specs I found in different places. Some said 300 and some said 400. Pretty much my conclusion was that I wanted something faster.
But it is not USB 2.0, but 3.2 gen 1, so it should be 5Gbps, and not 480Mbps.

i have the 15 pro max and i got the prores and i even shoot in 1080 because when i record with my SSD samsum T7 i try to watch the video on my computer i can only listen to the audio the video its all black and shows a messege of codec error not support and thats not even in 4K can somebody helpr please?
I wonder if you’re missing some codecs. Have you installed VLC player?
If I take a photo with one of those things on will it send directly to the storage device?
You Amazon links to that cable and mag safe sticky
Thank you, through your links, I bought the two cables but couldn't see one for the MagSafe charger?
The Kingston DataTraveler Max usb flash drive with 1000/900 MB/s R/W would fit your need
What power bank is that?
I may have missed this in the comments, could you do me the favour of confirming how many minutes the 256gb thumb drive can record at 4K 60 ProRes. Thank you!!!
Turns out it is 48 minutes at 4K 24 and 18 minutes at 4K 60
Hi Roger I have the 13 pro and I purchased an adaptive female ssd compatible to my iPhone. However it is not showing up, what should I do ?
Thanks for the video. What do you do about also wanting to use a microphone?
Why cant you just record on the phone and transfer later then you dont have to worry about charge ports and convenience in pockets and charging at same time?
But one thing to remind here that sandisk 2tb extreme pro doesn’t even work with iphone 15 Pro due to some limitations of power
