    6:17 kind of always wanted an A-Minima, but sounds like the 200ft magazine makes it a bit awkward to load. Glad to see some are still being used these days though.

    Last year, my friends and I stumbled upon this amazing video that lit a fire in us. It inspired us to create our own music video using just an iPhone. We were a bit unsure at first, but the result was mind-blowing. It goes to show, when you stop seeing limits, you start seeing opportunities, and the magic happens. This was our first iPhone video, and it reached more people than any of our previous work. It's truly incredible, and I had to come back to say thank you. Many can't believe it was made with an iPhone! it's just crazy. I'll drop the link here for those who want to see the video and maybe show support: czcams.com/video/veqL9lOLH60/video.html
