Do you have links or can you give me a list of the equipment you just mentioned in your video?
This video was so informative. Thank you!! Have a wonderful day! Congrats to the winner(s)!!!
You are so welcome!
As usual, you rock, Anthony!!
Thanks Michael!
Great Products and very nicely explained/ showcased... THANK YOU BroTHER for the advice!
My pleasure!!
The sponsor says this one is great and that one is great. I had a DJI 6 gimbal(resold it), have Hohem 6(very good, but bulky, not used at all), and the Powervision s1, which many said is not for professionals, but I use because it is light, compact, and charges my phone. I use Filmic Pro and I don't care about other things only stabilization. I had Zhiun 55(resold it)
I love everythiing you're putting out there. It's obviously extremely well done, but also communicated in a clear, easy way that anyone from beginner to expert can learn something. I'm a huge, huge fan of what you're doing and have benefited greatly.
Love to hear this! Thanks so much :)
Awesome, I never thought product like this exist. Thanks man
No problem!
It's a squab.
Shiftcam decided not to bother with the s24 ultra. Android gets little love but I'm still not switching to iPhone ever.
Guess I'll have to go with the freewell.
We're doing an s24 ultra accessories video soon!
@@MrPaulXavier oh darn it's too late I already bought the freewell. All that it really needed was a case. It should have been made when it came out like every other case maker!
Unfortunately, ShiftCam loves iPhones and I shoot with a Samsung SM-960U. Do you have any lens recommendations for Samsungs? Thanks.
Concise and clear ty! Signed up. What lens do you recommend for indoor real estate shots?
Honestly the built in ultra wide would be my go to!
Extraordinary content & advices @anthony! You are amazing as a presenter and teacher in the 14day filmmaker course 💪
Cheers!
I appreciate that!
13:41 inspired me to mount my phone in vertical mode on top of my camera to film story content while filming high quality horizontal content. Thank you!!
You got it!
I am so glad I found your video. I need a camera to record corporate events usually in an AC hall. I was confused between choice of buying mirrorless cameras vs mobile phone cameras. Considering, I have to travel with camera I was more inclined towards mobile phone cam for recording events to have less weight. I would really appreciate if you can help me with these:
1) Which specific lens would you suggest for taking videos for such events?
2) Does creating videos with these lenses make the videos heavier? I have to transfer these to Windows laptop (almost immediately as I capture them) to play it on projector screen. So I am concerned of file size too. (Screen mirroring may not always be an option)
3) Do the videos recorded with filter lenses have same / better pixel quality and shows well even when enlarged on laptop or projector screens?
4) Also, can you suggest a microphone to be attached on phone which can record good sound even from far distance?
Thanks for all your helpful insight! I wanted to ask, would I be able to use the hohem gimbal while using the hard drive, since it would be added weight?
I haven't personally tested it but I believe it would work fine
Got the DJI Osmo this Christmas and love it. Got the Rode wireless mics as well. Just need some good lenses, just super expensive for now.
Great to hear!
I am looking for a lens/filter/case system which allows me to use filters with lenses...if a VND filter is important to get motion blur, does it just become no longer important because I am using anamorphic? I haven't yet found a system that integrates filters and lenses together in an easy to use way. Any advice? Most of the time, it just seems like you have to choose between lens or filter, and it doesn't seem like Shiftcam addresses this need...
I think there might be some cages that address this, but I really haven't found the one stop solution to lens + filter, at least not in a phone case system.
Amazing content... Thank You!
My pleasure!
Very very valuable..Thankyou
You are welcome
Can you plug both the receiver and the external drive to your iPhone at the same time?
Is my Z fold 5 able to be used for smartphone film making ????
Amazing!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
This video is a great resource for my future plans to up my mobile filmmaker aspirations. I know it sounds cliche, but your recommendations will help once I get going. I've got the phone, so...
And I may invest in your courses, budget allowing, to really dial things in. I'm almost 64, but I so love the prospect of exploring my potential, and creators and influencers such as yourself have helped to fuel my ambitions. Thank you.
Oh, here's a seasonal knock knock joke...
Knock! Knock! Who's there? Ho, ho. Ho, ho who? You know, your Santa impression could use a little work.
Love it!
Good stuff, as always. I'm an older guy so my knock knock joke might not make sense to some readers but, well.. there it is. I liked the tips about the filters the most, oh, and the grip too. I have a cage but it's quite a bit bulkier than the one you recommended. It gets funny looks from bystanders. Or maybe it's me...🤔
Very curious if you have a suggestion for lens and filter fir a specific use.
19:6 (IG TT) , Indoor , Concerts , MMA , professional wrestling, where you have extremely bright lights aimed at you.
Appreciate any suggestions ❤
16mm from shiftcam for wide and then the telephoto as well

You are absolutely great brother 💖 love from india
Thank you so much 😀
What app do you recommend recording videos with
Shiftcam for the win
They’re great!
Whoaaa when you use the external HD for storage can you access the videos in social media programs similarly as if on the internal ssd?? Great tips thanks for sharing!
Yes you can!
Not sure if you are going to see this. I am just getting into shooting videos and the outputting directly to the an external SSD seems like an amazing option but question comes to mind then is how that does work with also needing to plug in the external mic... Is there a good option for a ...usb-c hub or something that I could use? Great video and thanks for the help.
Yes you would need to get a usb c hub with multiple ports
Do you recommend any for this?
Great Video. Two questions if I may. 1) If you are just starting out, and you don’t have the budget to buy everything at once, what is the “priority” you recommend I should invest
in the items you recommend. 2) Do you have a video on - didn’t see one on your channel - how to connect an IPhone to a monitor, Ipad, etc. in order to see what you are filming, while you are filming it? Tired of getting up to check the phone every time I won’t see how things are looking! Thanks, again for the help!
Getting a good phone/camera is absolutely priority. After that a good light and microphone would be next. Then finally a filter and a gimbal would be after that. It all depends on what type of content you film though.
Thank you for replying to my quesitons. I appreciate the help! @@MrPaulXavier
So happy that I found your channel, your videos are super helpful. Can we talk storage options? I prefer filming on my phone over my actual dslr/digital cameras but I run out of space so quickly. How can I use my phone for long form videos?
Informative video
Do you have any suggestions for a lens I could use at track meets? Motion and distance?
For smartphone, I would say the best bet is probably the telephoto lens from shiftcam!
The number 9. Dedicated grip can it be used on a iPhone 15 pro max??
THE BEST!!!!
Thanks!
Great video with some solid recommendations. I'm curious have you tried out the Beastgrip lenses compared to Shiftcam? Looking at some other videos (iPhoneographers I think does a chart test) they seem a bit sharper. But I'd love your take as I have the Shiftcam grip and looking to get possibly a macro and a telephoto
They're almost identical from a clarity perspective I just personally love the build quality of shiftcam they seem MUCH more solid
@@MrPaulXavier good to know, thanks! I do have one of their NDs and really love their cases too
Which two lens would you recommend for video recording? Short Film and Video podcast?
Do you need a wide look, a zoomed in look, or an anamorphic look? Based on your answer to that question I would choose the specific lens we mention from the video that gives the look you need.
@@MrPaulXavier i would like a wide look and zoom look. Not so much of the anamorphic look.
So I would go with the wide and zoom options from shiftcam that we mentioned in this video!
Dream gadgets 😌😄
Yes but no shiftcam are good but the have their own mouting system and I don't like that... like freewell
I'm thinking go to smallrig and 37mm adapter and go to beastgrip 37mm lenses
And grab some 37mm to 62 or 66mm adapter for ND filters
What do you think about that ?
I’ve tried all the lenses and shiftcam are by far and away the highest quality in my eyes. That’s all I can say 🙂 if you want you can obviously try other systems
Hey,,I’ve been following you for a while now and been learning a lot..Can you please help me with something which has led me in a stressful dilemma.. I have recently started with my CZcams journey and have been editing all of my videos on my iPhone using VN editor, but now I am looking to upgrade and searching for laptops but not able to make a decision. Should I go ahead and buy a MacBook M1 or should I get the windows (which laptop?) which will help me to up my editing game
We have a whole video on this topic on our channel!
For the editing program, what do think of filmora?
It is ok for beginners but I highly recommend you learn capcut instead it is much better.
@@MrPaulXavier noted with thanks
I’m going to buy your course but I wanted to know do you give a list of equipment for the iPhone to buy for film edition and the course or should I gather the information before I buy the course?
We give you the list of what you may or may not need!
I've been binge watching your videos :). How often do you actually use the VND filter when you record your videos outside (for CZcams)? Can I get away with not using it or is it too important to skip?
Great question. For quick social media stuff I absolutely am fine not using the VND, but for heavy cinematic content I try to use it as often as I can!
@@MrPaulXavier Thanks! I'm thinking about buying it, but don't know how useful it'll be on the Iphone 15 :)
Hi, I am looking at your course- but I am specifically looking to learn about content creation filming in spatial vision with iPhone 15 Pro Max and later versions to follow. Do you think you'll be looking to add this content?
Once I can get my hands on Apple vision I’ll see if I can add that
Nice
I'm looking for lenses for Samsung s24 will this be good for my phone?
Checkout our most recent video it’s all about Samsung accessories!
5:40, what about the Insta360 Flow? Its smaller, better tracking, better battery life, can be used as a powerbank for your phone, can be attached with a mic receiver, more features and many other things.
IMO, better than OM6
What do you think is more better ? Osmo mobile 6 or the small rig Brandon li? Or both ?
Osmo mobile 6
Your channel is just perfect even someone who wants to create an amazing food content like me 🔥
I am in !
💪🏻🔥🔥🔥
4 to 32 stops doesn't seem to be available. Is there another recommendation for the vnd filter?
Shopmoment.com should have some good options as well!
should i use after effects or premier pro? what's the difference
After effects is for complex video effects. Not for basic editing
nice
Thanks!
I am new to videos. I am looking at the DJI Osmo 6, Insta360 flow and Hohem Isteady 6 gimbals. I want to film dog training videos. Good tracking is key. I am confused about Editing videos. My question is with the Insta360 flow (which I assume will be the same for DJI Osmo 6), once you have exported the video from the insta360 app (or DJI app), can you then edit it in third party software like capcut, wondershare etc? I may want to do a voiceover, or I may want to remove windnoise, I may want to edit the video to trim out bits I dont want etc. Any help would be appreciated, I am up until 2am every night researching
Yup! All of the footage can be exported and used in any third party editing app.
@@MrPaulXavier perfect thanks. I am looking to get a phone that is compatible with the flow. Does the camera quality make any difference when filming with the 360flow? I.e. iPhone 11 to 13 vs iphone 15 (the latter of which I understand is much better). I am slightly confused by "not using native camera" as to whether this means it makes no difference
Yeah so the app you film with makes little to no difference on the quality of the final video. That is determined primarily by the sensor on the camera itself and the newer phones like the 15 have the highest quality sensors.
It sounds like you'd get a ton of value going through our 14 Day Filmmaker course, it covers everything you need to know in great detail so all of this will make crystal clear sense!
I'm just starting, so this might be a stupid question, but... where does your data go? do you record to a cloud or a chip or a removable drive? (sorry if this is stupid) OH. nevermind. You cover that at the very end! LOL.
I def missed this giveaway but this was a great video
Thanks!
Can you have a nd filter and a anamorphic lens at the same time?
Yup! Shiftcam has an adapter to use both
Great vid, but what is the app you use at 6:56
That was filmic pro
Is the 14 Day CZcamsr and the 14 Day Pro Camera Filmmaker available to students who have purchased in the past or is this an additional upgrade charge?
14 Day youtuber is going to be granted to all existing students next week! Then if you go to your library the pro camera version is the main "14 day filmmaker" course compared to the smartphone edition
@@MrPaulXavier Just so I am clear, I do not need to purchase anything else to get everything? That is excellent customer service!!!!
@@MrPaulXavier Does this also include 1 Week Director and 1 Day Script or are these additional purchases as well?
Correct you don't need to purchase anything additional! The only other course you mentioned that WOULD be a separate purchase is 1 day script.
@@MrPaulXavier Awesome customer service. Anyone trying to decide to pull the trigger on this, DO NOT WAIT. Well worth every penny.
What monitor is that in the background?
Lg ultra wide 44 inch I can’t remember exactly which one
Hello, how do i access my account on your website? I can't find a way in. Thank you.
You can login by going to contentcreator.com/login and if you need any extra help just email us at support@contentcreator.com
Can the DJI OM6 hold a iphone with just a anamorphic lens for example?
Yes it has just enough power to support that
@@MrPaulXavier Nice thank you so much for the help!
I wouldn’t recommend DJI Osmo gimbals for heavy IPhones.
Better to stop on DJI RS3 Mini.
And microphone better choose DJI Mic
When using a gimbal, do you find that you are not able to have the lenses attached nor an SSD? If so, how can anyone combat this?
You would need to get a larger gimbal like the Zhiyun series
so ..... i think one of the most outstanding features of smartphone filmmaking is it's democratizing principles; anyone with a smartphone can learn it, as everyone has a smartphone. and everyone can learn this creative independence, because all you have to do is pull your device out of your pocket and start composing shots any second of the day or night. so you're advocating staying lean and nimble with your smartphone ...... at the same time your spending thousands of dollars for extra kit that will need an extra sherpa to carry ?
I think you're reading into this a little to much. If you've ever taken one of our courses you would know that I am the biggest advocate for NOT needing to invest any money into any additional things outside of skills and time spent practicing. That being said, our audience is obsessed with gear no matter how much we scream to them that they don't need it. So the catch-22 of this online world is that in order to reach the people you want to help you also need to play into the trends and shiny objects like gear. This stuff is all extremely fun and for certain people getting the extra accessories inspires them to create more than they otherwise would have without the gear, so all in all it hopefully leaves a positive impact on people
I’m a food content creator and I would like to sign up for the 14 day course. Has anyone taken the course? If so, how has it benefited you?
Also, is there a link to review real student testimonials and experiences?
Yes we have 600+ verified student reviews on trustpilot! www.trustpilot.com/review/contentcreator.com
@@MrPaulXavierok thank you! I just signed up for the 14 day course and added other perks to the package as well. Excited to get started 😎
Welcome to the community!
Hi, I don't see alot of accessories for Google Pixel 7 Pro or 8 Pro
Almost all of these will work on google phones.
@@MrPaulXavier I dind't find any lens on Amazon for The pixel 7 pro
Did you watch the video? We specifically mentioned a universal phone mounting clip you can get which will allow you to attach the shiftcam lenses to any phone (including the pixel phones)
Lenses build is very good, but the concept is totally wrong! the treads are very small, the cover is a total failure with the adapter falling from the cover due to the extra weight of the closeup lens! I returned verything from Shiftcam.
Sorry to hear that!
I agree... Capcut...
Editing software but no camera app?
In limiting this video to 10 recommendations I feel the editing app is 10X more important than a shooting app.
Quick question... are your videos shot on phone?
Some of our most popular videos were shot on smartphone, but others are usually a mix of different cameras we have setup to try and make shooting as efficient as possible
can u plug that mic on Phone with Cage?
How can I start and stop the recording of my iphone while shooting with the rear camera . Or is it not even possible
You just hit the red record button in the camera app.
@@MrPaulXavier I mean I'm shooting myself and I'm alone . Is there any other cheap option than apple watch ... So that I could automatically start recording. Because starting the record then coming back to the frame then again going back to stop the record . It's very challenging
@@MrPaulXavier bro 😂 not that dump
Reading your original comment there was no way I could tell what you actually wanted to ask haha. There are bluetooth triggers you can buy online to start and stop recording although I haven't tested any
@@MrPaulXavier 🤣🤣
I’m trying premier pro but it’s just so complicated to me
Checkout CapCut! We just released a few tutorials on it
7:53, a full room tour !!
Davinci is the very best if you're going to invest time in film making, but for the easy way out you can't beat final cut pro. Yeah, yeah, mac os only but it is the very best for quick edits and focusing on the actual content, the story telling. That's the thing you need to invest 90% of your time. I will say that you didn't talk about sound editing and that's just sad, sound is the most important part of this business for vlogging or talking head videos of all sorts. Davinci and final cut offer decent sound editing software, I think davinci is way better but premiere just sucks for me. Also please don't tell newbies to go for premiere, it's buggy as hell, expensive in the long run and has a very complicated and to be honest bad ui ( yes, I know what i'm talking about, got 15 years of experience in UX/UI). Otherwise good video, congrats!
People who say premiere pro is buggy have not used it enough or used it improperly. I’ve spent years in all three of the bigger softwares and they’re all equally buggy.
@@MrPaulXavier so… Huge content creators , professional editors are either lying or not using premiere pro correctly? I find that very hard to believe…
Every editing program will crash from time to time. People will say premiere pro crashes all the time but they haven’t invested ANYWHERE near as much time on other editing programs so they don’t truly have a basis to compared. I’ve spent years using all three and they definitely all crash. Final Cut Pro crashes the least in my experience but that’s because it’s fine tuned to work only on macs. Davinci crashes just as much as premiere pro for me. The computer you use it on plays too big a role to generalize and say one is vastly better than another from a bugginess perspective.
I joined the 14 day filmmaker course before I joined a full time one year college course for a BTEC Film and Media Production.
To be honest, the content of 14 day filmmaker is much extensive than my college course.
Besides, once joined, the content remains for referring to at anytime.
It is a university on it's own. I joined in 2020.
It's a value for money.
Thanks so much! Glad it's been valuable to you
my experience with this case was terrible. The lenses are very heavy and the case broke and the lens fell off.
Very interesting. I’ve been using mine for almost 7 months now and it’s held up great!
14 Day CZcamsr?!?! Do those of thus that have already purchased courses get this, too? Please say yes! I'm not seeing it in my library.
Yes we’re adding it to all of your accounts next week!
Wonderful! Thanks so much for the wonderful content you guys have created for us. I could not be happier with your products! @@MrPaulXavier
You're very welcome
Omg you and your team are the best
Thank you!
Why does the octopus have eight legs? Why does the octagon have eight sides but October is the tenth month? #knockknockjokes from Malaysia
A bit sad that everything is for Iphone.
I've got Samsung S24 ultra and no lens mount is to be found...😢
We’re releasing a Samsung video soon. Most of these work for Samsung as well though!
Doesn’t AE win all arguments ?
The only reason I learned other softwares as because I was afraid to learn AE.
After effects is mainly for very specific effects that are complex. You wouldn’t want to use that for the majority of video edits and simply cutting footage and audio together
As good as you think your lighting is you are missing a fundamental ingredient that anyone who works in television will mention and that is your back light! Tv has always been a 2 dimensional medium so inorder to add some depth to a shot every lighting director would add a back light. This light is pointed at the subjects reverse side to create a highlight on the shoulders and head. By just adding this you will immediately notice a 3 D effect.
Yes we regularly use backlights and teach them in our course as well. In trying to keep this a budget friendly as possible we just mentioned one light.
ANTHONY GALLO 😊
That’s me 😁
I hate that you have to pick and choose what accessories you can use. This would be much more effective if you had an adapter where you could use all your accessories at once. Wish CZcamsrs would focus on more practical Cinema rigs. I know as someone going from shooting on a BMPCC to iPhone 15 (budget reasons) I need to be able to monitor my audio, charge my phone, and have a microphone/receiver at the same time. Cant find any videos where an adapter was used.
Unfortunately the brands don’t make their gear cross compatible for this exact reason. They want you to go all in.
dang those phone lenses are around $130, didnt think theyd be that much
Knock, knock.
Who’s there?
Toucan.
Toucan who?
Toucan play at this game!
Haha great comment but you're supposed to comment it on the instagram account!
What if a person have a Sony phone and shift can doesn't support Sony devices
There universal lens mount should work on any phone :)
Why octapus has 8 legs ? why octagon have 8 side but October on month 10 ? haha #knockknockjoke from Malaysia
Using your phone may become taxing on the battery. You may need a few power banks.
The shiftcam grip we recommended is a battery bank!
godox or neewer ?
Neewer is my new favorite
but those lights are not portable enough to be considered "smartphone filmmaking", right?
The yongnuo is extremely portable
Is FCP not mentioned because you don't have a training video on that to sell? hmm😅
Nope haha. I have an entire training series on FCPX. Just trying to recommend what I truly believe in.
eeehm i dont thnik im gonna walk arround outside filming and taking picture with this giant light settup
That's why these are referred to as studio lights. More so for people filming content on their smartphone for talking head videos
FCX. Done.
Hahaha
Ae is the best but its confusing for Beginners
AE is great but not really meant for typical editing as it's a complex effects based program. I personally look at it as if it were in a different category than premiere or davinci
Insta flow 360 is better gimbal
What makes you say that?
@@MrPaulXavier it has many ai features
the DJI had all of the same features they just didn’t label them as “AI”
@@MrPaulXavier thanks
You are talking in too much speed😢
I am sorry :(
This law is very stupid. Does eating certain helps with increased performance right? Well then why we discriminate against certain ways of getting performance? Isn’t about that? Being no 1? Let them all take whatever enhancements they want and still you gonna have a competition. Is not like is a huge performance leveler. “O look we can’t have anymore champions since they all max outed do steroids and now they are all equal!”
Bro just use a dedicated camera lol instead of attaching gimmicks on phones...
I do use larger cameras as well. But not everyone wants to do that. They prefer smartphones. No one is forcing you to buy any of these accessories :)
Ass wipe
@@MrPaulXavierExactly!! He’s calling it gimmicks. Hilarious 😂
Everyone cannot afford a dedicated camera especially just starting out😂. Most Americans don't have $1k in a savings account. Before you say well they have an iPhone or S24+ yeah they can afford it on making payments.
Bro those are total gimmicks. The idea of the compactness of a phones goes out the window once you attach those funny lenses.@@tonybravado8231
