This looks pretty awesome! Kinda covers all the bases... - 1 tb Storage ✅ - Port for wireless mic ✅ - USB-C PD for battery bank ✅ Now, if they could take that, and build it into an ergonomic grip, with a mount for an anamorphic, it would be perfect.
Pledged for the 2TB one with hub. Forgot about the ergonomic grip reality. Like that option too. Hmmm. I'll have to think if there are any ways to modify this. :)
@@BCE-111 Yeah, I 3d printed a case for some other drives and hubs, but they were still a little clunky, this one is so much smaller, that I think it might be possible to create a compact system where you just slide the phone into it. I think there was another project that was trying to create a grip of some sort...Michael did a video on that, but I don't know its current status it's actually pretty cheap to get this lexar one though, and its useful to have a 2TB drive even without its phone use.
@@MaximoJoshua I have an Adonit grip that I like as it has a bluetooth shutter release right on it. But I don't think it would work with this straight up with the hub. It is open along the bottom where the C port is though, so I can probably use the SSD itself although the C connector is offset. Was trying to think of different ways to make it work. But as mentioned just having so small a 2TB SSD is valuable in itself. Right now I have 2 2TB SAMSUNG T7 Shield drives and one 4TB one. Paid $100 and $120 for the 2TB ones now selling for $180. And paid $230 for the 4TB one now selling for $315. So I'm good. :) Looking forward to receiving it to see how it works. Hope it can maintain continual longer shoots without dropping frames. Same specs though as the SAMSUNG T7 Shield drives.
@@BCE-111 there was one project by quipdesign, which was a cinema grip, seems similar to this... in the past, I wanted the hub to have an HDMI, but now with remote monitoring, I don't need that nearly as much.
SSD + Velcro 😃 I’ve Velcro’d the back of my iPad and MacBook, so I can stick an SSD the back of it or a portable power bank I can now freely carry around the devices whilst they are transferring data or charging off the power bank 😊
I purchased a iPhone 15 Pro Max last week and found your channel while looking for a setup that would not block the magsafe connection to allow for the Gimbal connection. The timing of your video was perfect. Just pledged/purchased the 1TB with the media hub. Feel confidant this goes true. Nice to see Lexar get ahead of the market. I suspect there will be similar products out soon.
@@thebugasproject Agreed - likely paid a small premium price to buy it this month - but had to upgrade and enjoying the phone which I'll likely keep for 3+ years.

I keep hitting your videos Michael and enjoying them. Though doing this puts food on the table for you and your family, you are one of the very few that come across like you’re doing a late night infomercial. Or just sounding like you don’t even believe a thing that’s coming out of your mouth. I hope you can appreciate my compliment and what it does for people that rely on these reviews before they buy something that may be very expensive for them. I thank you for that sir. I’m fascinated with what Lexar is doing in this segment which is rapidly picking up speed. I think this product appears to be an impressive piece of engineering and for what it does, will be a game changer for so many consumers. I almost hit the buy button after the first minute of your video, but got to thinking how very much I like to leave a case on my phone at all times. I actually drop mine from time to time. So I’ll stick to the slightly more cumbersome method of larger and heavier (slightly) components with clamps and wires until such a time they make this kind of amazing small solutions that are usable with nutty persons such as myself that want to keep their case on. Again, thanks for your reviews and allowing us to see what gear you claim to use frequently, which suits my tastes very well. You give some great ideas to change some of my current stuff around and based on your recommendations, I think there’s integrity and good taste in your choices. Cheers brother and make hay!
No it needs to be better. It needs to be attached to a battery that supports your port better so over time it won't destroy the port. Like a bottom slip on that used your frame.
Cool! But nothing beats HAGIBIS m.2 SSD enclosure. It’s MagSafe, it’s can allow powering iPhone with additional type-c input and HAGIBIS has version with additional usb input for wireless microphone systems (3 type-c ports total!!!).
Have you seen this in action? I just see the two port one reviewed. I like the MagSafe idea especially when you can add a fan on top for shooting in the heat.
I just got the 15 pro max and I’ve been following you for a while before. Inspired me to get the pro max. I’m a photographer and I’m trying to get into making content now. Thanks.
If I were you Michael, I’d ask who makes the drive? Is it proprietary ? Or is it mass market? The reality is that’s footage and it’s precious. You don’t entrust all your work to untrusted, untested, unknown drive resource simply because you like the form factor. That form factor has me thinking it’s the Western Digital SN770M NVMe drive. It’s small enough to be that. And if it’s that drive … it’s got a 90% fail rating on Amazon. I’ve had a few of those small form factor 1 tb drives and I’ve never had one that actually worked. Except for the Samsung packaged drives.
Thanks, Michael, this hits the spot. Hoping the improved 16 Pro mics will let me omit an external mic for 3-minute song performance clips and use a mini setup as described here.
I wonder: -Freewell Sherpa filmmaking case and extendable grip kit with magnetic mist filter. -This Kickstarter Lexar SSD with USB port. -Hollyland Lark M2 wireless mic and only the USB-C receiver port. I wonder if this set up would/could be a good, small/minimal, and fast iPhone setup…
2:24 "adds to the drop protection".. If you drop your phone with that plugged into the bottom.. You're gonna have a bigger problem than a couple scratches.. That USB, will break off that thing... I use a Samsung T5 drive and tiny cable with my 16 P.M.
Michael, thank you for these videos. Just purchased your IPhone film making guide, I am grateful for the discount, totally new to making video on IPhone, so hope to learn much more from you. Best wishes from Scotland.
I don’t understand why there isn’t any MagSafe HDD solution available. So the HDD clicks on the phone with MagSafe (magnets) short USB C connector cable and ready for action..
A MagSafe SSD yes, that sounds very useful. Specifically a HDD wouldn’t work because it has moving disks that are affected by magnets (but I’m sure you meant SSD, just nit picking sorry 😄)
Thanks for this, that’s amazing. Which audio wireless mic setup do you prefer for run/gun setups? I bought the first rode go and sent it back as it kept dropping connection, but I imagine it’s improved by now and I’ve heard the DJI ones have issues also? Im travelling soon for a shoot and am trying to find a way to not bring all my production gear for this one so looking at making the iPhone do the ‘street-stuff’. Looking through the rest of your vids for advice on setup etc. I doubt these kickstarters will be ready sadly before I go or I’d def order them now.
Iphone is the best phone and a camera at this point, I have iPhone SE 2020, and even its quality is awesome, as I have Gopro 12 for Moto Vlogs and also use CMF Phone 1, but Iphone is the best tool I have, when it comes to capture the moment. EDIT: Recently i saw the news the 28 weeks later's sequel is being filmed on bunch of iPhone 15's, I mean how cool is that
I agree with you! This is the best minimalist solution yet! I also think it's just a matter of time till someone creates an SSD iPhone case with ports. 🤔 Great video! Keep up the great work! 👍🏾
Hi, Finally a real minimalist solution. One question - in which part of the video can I see the setup appears on the thumbnail of this video - the mic plugged in but without the cage?
The design looks awesome and is something I've been waiting for since the 15 pro came out, but Lexar scares me. I used their cards in the past on my professional cameras and always had corrupt files.
Everyone of those who promoting the small ssds for for iphone , always demonstrate only cage set up with , but no one of them hasen't says how to apply it for a mobile gimbal
I really don't get why big companies like Lexar are doing kickstarters. They have the money to launch the product. Getting pre-sales on kickstarter just seems scummy when the platform is meant for startups and small companies.
@@Agent77X Really? I thought Lexar was considered a "major" brand. I had no idea they had no employees and make less than 500K/year. Where did you learn that?
This has been the exact reason why I have not used an external hard drive because I always record with my iPhone but I also have a microphone plugged into it and would regular heart drives you cannot use the microphone
i wish they had a minimal setup that allowed you to use a case. doesn't work for me as i don't want to remove my case every time i want to film, but still dope that these kinds of things are being made!
@@initialfocus weird I guess i can’t find that shot! I see how it can work with the long cable, but the more minimalist setup doesn’t seem like it would, at least with the Peak Design case, but maybe I just can’t tell from the videos and photos.
I see now these are the same as the SAMSUNG T7 Shields I use. From their FAQs. "What are the read and write speeds? What type of cable connectivity does it use? Lexar Professional Go Portable SSD with Hub features read speeds up to 1050 MB/s and write speeds up to 1000 MB/s. It uses a USB 3.2 Gen 2 high-speed interface for connectivity."
Michael, brilliant video, I’m looking for a solution just like that for the new Insta360 flow pro. I want to use their additional accessory that’s the heart shaped magnet to connect the phone with ND filters and the only solution I’ve got at the moment is to put a DJI receiver on the other end to balance it even though the Mic 2, works really well with Bluetooth.
im confused so iphone does allow external storage ? over usb c? so you can live record to this? You can take photos and it saves to the ssd and not the phone? iphone 16 conmpatabile? couldnt somone make a case with this built in and maybe a small battey and or something
Michael,, I cannot see any indication in this vidéo, as to how the Lexar hub or ssd is attached to the back of your phone, can you please give an indication thanks,, I does not appear to be attached using magsafe.
Hey Michael, I want to say that this is actually a product I love and would love to own but unfortunately I haven’t had the best luck with Lexar. I’ve shot weddings for close to seven years now and over the course of seven years I’ve had freshly new. Lexar cards fail on me one of which have been at a wedding. I have also had fellow videographers and photographers. Tell me how they have had Lexar cards fail on them. So as much as I would love this product, I’m just a bit put off by Lexar. Great video however
This SSD looks great and the early bird discount is tempting. I get that Lexar is sponsor of the video but any additional information on this thing? Does this overheat like crazy? Is the speed good enough and on par with larger form factor ssd? Is this a valid solution to use on a computer (it can be very useful to use on a laptop without cables dangling)
Hasn’t overheated on me and I just got back from a couple day trip where I filmed A TON with it. SSD seems on par for speeds with all over fast drives now days. I loved using it directly from the phone to my iPad to my Mac. Seamless small and quick. Sponsor or not if there were any major red flags I would mention it in the video. The only caution I will throw out is I’ve only had it for about a month so all I can honestly say is so far it’s my favorite iPhone SSD setup so far.
Great product 👍🏻. btw, how’s the heat problem going with this? (most of the M.2 with case ssd for iphone out in the market have heat problem during recording, as i know)
Thanks just placed a order for one, best setup thus far. Question, would the hdd & hub be damaged for longterm use in landscape filming? going to the iphone 16 and I'm wondering with our right hand on top of the hdd & hub it could weaken the USB-C port.
I'm using a M.2 2230 1TB NVME in 2230 M.2 enclosure on an iPhone 15 Pro. Connected using a 180 degree usb-c adapter. Why is a company like Lexar using a kickstarter campaign for this?
Lexar Professional Go Portable SSD supports phone cases with a thickness up to 1.6 millimeters using the provided silicone case. Without the silicone case, the phone case thickness can be up to 2.6 millimeters. If the thickness exceeds 2.6 mm, they recommend using a USB Type-C cold shoe adapter cable to connect your phone.
Ever tried a Sony Xperia 1 VI? It has a dedicated shutter button with rock solid autofocus and tracking, an audio in and out mini-jack socket and can hold up to a 1.5 TB micro SD card. You don't need all this crap limpeted onto your phone....oh and it's as good as an iphone at video, stills and macro. Even better in many ways. Oh yeah...and no notch or camera cutout...just a clean gorgeous screen so movies are better too. This crap will still get stuck in your pocket or fall apart or fail.
Sony Xperia line IS indeed the best in many ways. I give them credit for hands down the nicest most pro native camera app of any phone company….that being said in no way objectively speaking is the video quality better. ProRes and AppleLOG are the first actual pro codec and LOG (not just a fake log like most apps) if you film on and iPhone 15 pro and any other phone camera, put that footage up on a big screen and it will not compete. The one exception is if you film using rawDNG in MotionCam but DNG is a pain in the ass format to work with but the quality is amazing. Still not as good as a log though. I do not say this as a fanboy of one side. I would love to have a true android competitor…but again no one else has released a codec or file type that a professional editor, colorist or filmmaker would integrate into their work

im confused so iphone does allow external storage ? over usb c? so you can live record to this? You can take photos and it saves to the ssd and not the phone? iphone 16 conmpatabile? couldnt somone make a case with this built in and maybe a small battey and or something
We can't pledge anymore, is there anywhere to buy it now?
Michael,, I cannot see any indication in this vidéo, as to how the Lexar hub or ssd is attached to the back of your phone, can you please give an indication thanks,, I does not appear to be attached using magsafe.
You cant purchase this anymore as of 9/24/24????
it wil be better if they made a rugged housing along for added durability and stability
Excellent use case!
Just put it on sale as a finished product and it will sell like crazy. I’ll get one.
I saw that paramotor in that quick B-Roll shot 👀
dope. thanks. and subscribed!
Hey Michael, I want to say that this is actually a product I love and would love to own but unfortunately I haven’t had the best luck with Lexar. I’ve shot weddings for close to seven years now and over the course of seven years I’ve had freshly new. Lexar cards fail on me one of which have been at a wedding. I have also had fellow videographers and photographers. Tell me how they have had Lexar cards fail on them.
So as much as I would love this product, I’m just a bit put off by Lexar.
Great video however
This SSD looks great and the early bird discount is tempting. I get that Lexar is sponsor of the video but any additional information on this thing? Does this overheat like crazy? Is the speed good enough and on par with larger form factor ssd? Is this a valid solution to use on a computer (it can be very useful to use on a laptop without cables dangling)
Hasn’t overheated on me and I just got back from a couple day trip where I filmed A TON with it. SSD seems on par for speeds with all over fast drives now days. I loved using it directly from the phone to my iPad to my Mac. Seamless small and quick. Sponsor or not if there were any major red flags I would mention it in the video. The only caution I will throw out is I’ve only had it for about a month so all I can honestly say is so far it’s my favorite iPhone SSD setup so far.
@@initialfocus Thx for the feedback!
That thing is asking to be snapped off in your pocket when you take it out. 🤔
Great product 👍🏻. btw, how’s the heat problem going with this? (most of the M.2 with case ssd for iphone out in the market have heat problem during recording, as i know)
My question is, can I also use the whole thing with my iPhone 13 Pro Max, or is everything only usable from iPhone 15 upwards?
Thanks just placed a order for one, best setup thus far.
Question, would the hdd & hub be damaged for longterm use in landscape filming? going to the iphone 16 and I'm wondering with our right hand on top of the hdd & hub it could weaken the USB-C port.
looks like fantastic idea, great video !
Does anyone know if there is a good way to record regular video (not Log or HLG) to the SSD?
Did I miss the link for the audio input? You spoke too fast for me to catch what that was
I see this product is only available on Kickstarter. Any update if it is actually going to be released this year or at all?
I think they just added it on amazon, it shows release date on 31st of December
Can this be used while the iPhone is in a case?
Can they make one with an external display for the iphone to take selfies with rear cameras
They should. I saw a hack to just use your Apple Watch and hang it over the phone. Not the best but something
nice one, great option
Will this work over phone cases if it’s just the adapter and SSD itself?
I'm using a M.2 2230 1TB NVME in 2230 M.2 enclosure on an iPhone 15 Pro. Connected using a 180 degree usb-c adapter. Why is a company like Lexar using a kickstarter campaign for this?
So difficult and expensive for the extra storage. Android I simply insert an SD card in the phone and no external cumbersome extras.
MicroSD cannot handle read/write speeds of ProRes.
Great video, what gimbal is that?
Thanks for sharing!
So can this be used with a case???
Can’t really use a case though
I’m using a moss case so I don’t think this gonna work
I hope he or they reply to this comment. This is so true. Most people have a case in their phone.
Lexar Professional Go Portable SSD supports phone cases with a thickness up to 1.6 millimeters using the provided silicone case. Without the silicone case, the phone case thickness can be up to 2.6 millimeters.
If the thickness exceeds 2.6 mm, they recommend using a USB Type-C cold shoe adapter cable to connect your phone.
Great video ! You just saved my life. Is it available on Amazon ?
The gimble looks like the Zhiyun Crane M3 for those who are curious.
Hi Michael,
For long form recording, what’s been your longest runtime before any overheating
Do I have to remove the cover to place the Lexar to the phone?
do you know if this set up works with the DJI osmo Mobile 6 gimbal?
Is there a connector for lightning so it works on an iPhone 14 Pro Max?
I wish it was available on Amazon or eBay
Ever tried a Sony Xperia 1 VI? It has a dedicated shutter button with rock solid autofocus and tracking, an audio in and out mini-jack socket and can hold up to a 1.5 TB micro SD card. You don't need all this crap limpeted onto your phone....oh and it's as good as an iphone at video, stills and macro. Even better in many ways. Oh yeah...and no notch or camera cutout...just a clean gorgeous screen so movies are better too. This crap will still get stuck in your pocket or fall apart or fail.
Sony Xperia line IS indeed the best in many ways. I give them credit for hands down the nicest most pro native camera app of any phone company….that being said in no way objectively speaking is the video quality better. ProRes and AppleLOG are the first actual pro codec and LOG (not just a fake log like most apps) if you film on and iPhone 15 pro and any other phone camera, put that footage up on a big screen and it will not compete. The one exception is if you film using rawDNG in MotionCam but DNG is a pain in the ass format to work with but the quality is amazing. Still not as good as a log though. I do not say this as a fanboy of one side. I would love to have a true android competitor…but again no one else has released a codec or file type that a professional editor, colorist or filmmaker would integrate into their work
Does the rode receiver audio just go straight onto the footage in black magic cam app?
too bad iphone just usb 2.0, still slow in transfer speed right?
lol no that’s iPhone with lightning or last years base 15s. 15/16 pro have usb 3.1 speeds
