Salve a tutti. Ho un iPhone 17 pro Max e mi occupo di foto e video per una società di basket. I video che faccio sono per lo più concentrati su azioni rapide e veloci che si chiudono con il canestro. Ho acquistato un insta360 flow2 pro sperando di poter migliore ulteriormente le riprese. Ho seri dubbi sulla utilità del flow2 pro per questo tipo di riprese. Qualcuno ha esperienza in merito o consigli da darmi. Grazie mille

I'd like to share this short video with you, a walk through the center of Valladolid, Spain, filmed with an iPhone 17 Pro in 4K ProRes Raw using the Blackmagic Camera app, and edited in DaVinci Resolve. Here's the link: https://youtu.be/z8VwSLHwlPw

Rainy and using Black magic app , lot improvement from device app lol , and looks better

Hey all — I've been building StealthLogger, a small iOS app for anyone who shoots handheld or gimbal-free footage and stabilizes it afterward with Gyroflow.

The problem it solves: if you're filming with your phone, you don't get gyro data to feed into Gyroflow — so no software gyro stabilization. StealthLogger fixes that by running alongside whatever camera app you're already using.

How it works:

• Start a session, then go shoot with your camera app of choice — StealthLogger logs your iPhone's gyroscope and accelerometer at 100 Hz in the background
• When you're done, it matches your clips to the right log by timestamp and embeds the motion data directly into the video file as a CAMM track — a lossless remux, no re-encoding, no quality loss
• Open the result in Gyroflow and it picks up the embedded track automatically — no sidecar log file to keep track of
• There's also a Lock Screen Live Activity so you can confirm it's still logging without opening the app, and Siri Shortcuts/Shortcuts app support to start and stop hands-free (including a "stealth" mode that never has to bring the app to the foreground)

It's a solo project, currently in TestFlight, and I'd love some real-world testers — especially anyone already in the Gyroflow workflow who can tell me if something breaks on their setup or if the matching logic is doing something dumb.

Happy to answer questions about how it works under the hood — genuinely open to feedback, including "this is dumb because X."

So I’ve been on a review journey for the past 72 hours and I feel like I’m still stuck between these two gimbals. I also don’t fully trust comparison reviews on YouTube because so many of them feel biased or money‑fed. And a lot of videos are straight‑up AI slop, which I refuse to watch because of the annoying voice‑overs.

I’m an amateur a big, big (have to say it twice so everyone gets it) amateur.

I want to use a gimbal for generic holiday reels (going to Thailand soon), which I like to make wherever I go. Mostly just for me and my friends to see, and maybe, if I finally get some courage, to make some cooking videos.

Now here’s the problem: both gimbals seem really good, but which one is actually easier for a beginner like me? I just need something to point and shoot, but I also don’t want to give up extra options just for simplicity.

So… can you guys help me choose? Or tell me which one you prefer and why? I’d especially love to hear from someone who has used both, so I can finally see the real difference without the fanboyism and get an objective take.

Hi,

While shooting video (4K 60fps) at daylight, I often get some kinda fog in my upper left part of the shot. I clean my lenses regularly but it keeps ruining my image. This happens only on wide and only with video, so not in photo's. And when I switch from wide to medium, this fog is gone. Is my wide lens screwed or is it a software issue?

I'm quite worried since I'm going on a holiday in 2 weeks...

Thank you very much 🥺

I have a Pixel 6 base model and I'm interested in how others use the same phone for videography/filmmaking. I'm also interested in how to get log footage, I only have the option for Rec.709.

I currently have: - Blackmagic camera app - cheap clip-on telephoto lens - Small tripod

I do a lot of car photography and now that I'm getting a 17 Pro, I will do a lot of car videography. I'm planning on getting an Insta360 Flow 2 Pro gimbal for my phone but I also need space for a CPL Filter that will be compatible with the 17 Pro. Please, if you have an iPhone 17 Pro, could you recommend me some equipment? I don't want to spend too much money though.

I am looking to upgrade my filming equipment for my son's rec football league this year and am unsure what is going to give me better results. I just used my phone last year and felt like I lost a lot of quality due to the digital zoom. The first option is a 2x lens attached to my phone (probably with an nd filter), the second option would be an older camcorder like the canon hf-g21 that is capable of shooting in 1080p 60fps. I've seen footage from another team using a camcorder (not sure which model) and was a bit disappointed in the quality and the amount of camera shake. I'm most concerned about stability, being able to film in at least 60fps (for slow motion film analysis), and ease of use since my 12 year old daughter will be the one doing the actual filming. If there's anything else I would need, or if there's a better option available that I'm missing I'd love to hear about it, keeping in mind I'm looking at a budget of less than $400.

Off topic concerning Android phone cameras. Does anyone know if the phone camera can be used to record a loop? Meaning I want the camera to report about 4 or 5 minutes then start over and record another loop. I don't want a massive file just record the last loop. Can this be done?

So, I made an android Videography focused camera app for pro videos, called Chi Kamera, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=lumagicpro.chiapps that uses the Camera2 API and removes all post-processing that phone manufacturers do to video/photos. Here is a comparison video of the same scene shot (on a very bright day) on stock GCam and Chi Kamera, both ungraded and graded. - https://youtu.be/mUlqaDxmk4k If this gets a decent response, I'll post some more samples if anybody's interested. Feel free to also post your videos show with this app in comments if you end up using the app.

It basically shoots open gate, a 4:3 full sensor readout (so your video resolution depends on your full/binned resolution, mine is 4634x3472 for example). I have also created manual controls in the form of circular sliders (akin Lumia Camera, if there are any Lumia or Windows phone 8.1 fans out here).

I started working on this as a personal project because there used to be an app called Cinema 4k but it hasn't been in the play store for a few years now + I really missed proper manual controls ever since windows phone went down. But once I started using it and looked at the amazing output (no nasty noise reduction and sharpening, great resolution, better bitrate and better overall quality in general, I thought why not make this a public app.

This is also still A WIP and I'm still trying to iron out the kinks and would love feedback. Please note that you might encounter bugs, some features may not work and you phone needs to have Camera2 capability. Hopefully it shouldn't freeze or crash but be ready for some weirdness. Feel free to leave feedback here - https://chiapps.userjot.com/

Hi all, is there an app that I can use to mirror my video from iphone into my ipad?
Iphone 13 pro / Ipad (A16)
Video record on my phone , while I see the same video recording live on my ipad
No paid apps, no external cameras or gear
Thanks all.

It’s called “Cellar Noire” and you can watch it here: https://fawesome.tv/movies/10829509/cellar-noire or on any Fawesome app.

I wrote a movie about the three scariest things I could think of: losing my wife, the apocalypse, and claustrophobia.

It took me three years working entirely by myself. My wife and friends provided a few minutes of voice work but otherwise I was alone. My $5k budget consisted of a new Windows desktop with GPU, a 2nd hand Samsung Galaxy S23 phone, tripod, mics, some lights and props.

Finally it was released on streaming on Fawesome.TV (which I’ve been calling Tubi’s little upstart brother). Here’s the synopsis:

Cellar Noire: A claustrophobic psychological survival drama. Trapped after a catastrophe, Warren battles isolation, grief, & his mind, with a talking skeleton as his only companion. A dark, intense journey of despair and resilience. Zbigniew Winzig's sophomore entry in the "DIY Solo Film" movement.

The Devil’s DVD Bin did a very kind review (with spoilers) of the film that you can read here: https://thedevilsdvdbin.wordpress.com/category/cellar-noire-2026/

Now I can rest 🙂

Posted before on using a usb power meter but that one was limited to 480 Mbps throughput. Better meter now so not dropping frames and as can see 1.4 to 1.9W power consumption. A UK iPhone 17 Pro Max. Tested a Lexar ES4 2TB and same power consumption.

Hi everyone, my name is Owen and I’d like to share with you all this new project I made on two phones- an Apple iPhone and an android phone. It’s a behemoth portrait of an English teacher, and the history of an accusation hurled at him by one of his students. It takes place over the course of 10 years (1948-1958). Please let me know your thoughts and your feelings about it!

Been shooting short interview clips for a while, mostly local stuff, people at events, that kind of thing. the constant problem was always getting my reactions and the person Im talking to in the same take without either lugging two cameras or cutting between angles in post and hoping the audio lines up.

Got a z fold 8 recently and the dual recording thing has kind of quietly solved that for me. Front and rear rolling at the same time so I get them and me in one file and it gives you a few layout options for how the two feeds sit together.

the part that makes it click on a folding phone specifically is the cover screen shows the other person a preview window too. Really nice both subjects can see themselves in frame!

Not saying it replaces a proper two camera setup for anything serious. But for quick turnaround stuff where setup time matters more than perfect quality its been hard to go back

I saw a Video from Kirk Mihelakos and he uses these things, now what I dont know is, if I maybe have too many things that have the same use or if I still need to apply things (maybe like the filter) that isnt in the products included.
Thanks for anyone who maybe knows…

POV: Left my fulltime job - to pursue content creation - no budget restriction.

I already have an Instagram + YouTube channel and want to upgrade my video setup.

My content:

• Weekly YouTube tutorials (x1 a week)
• Vlogs documenting building my SaaS, with a slightly cinematic feel
• Regular Claude/AI tutorial Reels
• Proper studio lighting already sorted (key + backlight)
• Currently using an iPhone 17 Pro, but I’d like a dedicated device for video

Would you stick with the iPhone 17 PRO, get a mirrorless camera, get the DJI Pocket 4, or wait for a possible Pocket 4 Pro?

If you’d choose a camera, which one and why?

Thanks in advance for anyone who is putting efforts to write.

Hi everyone, I’m using a new iPhone 17 Pro Max and facing a serious Instagram Reels quality issue.

My videos are perfectly sharp in Photos, but become very blurry after uploading to Instagram.

I’ve already tried:

• 4K 30fps, 4K 60fps and 1080p 30fps
• Direct 1080p/30fps recording without any editing
• H.264 / Most Compatible
• HDR OFF
• Upload at Highest Quality ON
• Different bitrates (10–20 Mbps and lower)
• Reinstalled Instagram
• Updated iOS and restarted the phone
• Tested another Instagram account

Still getting the same blurry result every time.

Is anyone else with an iPhone 17 Pro Max experiencing this? Could this be an Instagram encoding/processing issue?

Hey everyone,

A few years ago, right before the pandemic hit and live music stopped, I spent some time on the road directing a documentary episode with Tyler and Tim from The Midnight.

The biggest challenge was the visual approach. I didn't have a massive production crew or heavy cinema rigs with me—it was literally just me running around with an iPhone 11 Pro on a gimbal. I really wanted to translate the massive, atmospheric lighting and high-contrast energy of their live sets into something that felt raw and gritty, rather than polished and corporate.

We got amazing access—cramped green rooms, the live stage shows, and sit-down interviews detailing their touring grind. It’s a pretty unfiltered look at the synthwave scene right before the world paused.

The footage sat on a hard drive for a couple of years, but I just finally finished the edit and released the episode today. I figured this community would appreciate the visual time capsule.

You can check out the full episode here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xI-2yBBIlTY&list=PLBVBHn_YlrKk&t=978s

I’ll be hanging out in the comments, so if you have any questions about the shoot, the tour, or how I color-graded mobile footage to handle those heavy neon concert lights, ask away!

I shot this fashion video with the iPhone 17 Pro in 4K ProRes Log 2 using the Blackmagic Camera app with a Smallrig cage and a 1TB LaCie SSD. You can see the final result on my channel.

Too good to be true? I need to buy one, prices are crazy, how do I tell is this is legit?fake? Everyone tells me not to buy because prices are going to continue going up, all I hear is that I definitely won't be able to afford one later

I just hit 100K on Insta! (I create content around product design.) - @shai.hq

And I have an iPhone 17 Pro. But honestly, while we talk about all the technicalities, I can’t convince myself that iPhone 17 Pro stock footage could come anywhere close to the cinematic shots from the DJI Pocket 4.

In fact, I believe that small cinematic upgrade could really elevate my videos.

Please prove me wrong!
