You’re the real MVP. I’ve gone through multiple docks trying to get this phone to do SSD, mic, and monitoring. Add to that ND filters 😅

Thanks for letting us know.

Bought this hub. Can connect my external drive and wireless mic. Works wonderfully with my iPhone Pro Max.

Wow. This is crazy. Gotta try this. Thank you. I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max and when I originally bought the phone I didn’t really intend to use it for doing the video so I got the smallest storage size and of course things changed and I needed to actually use it to make videos and I kept running into issues of where my phone would fill up. Thank you for the solution.

This is great ! exactly what I needed after realizing my sandisk SSD extreme pro was just too slow for prores with apple log. I was exploring USB - CF card reader route but this provides similar write speeds as CF with half the price !!! Thank you sir !

Thank you for posting this video 🎥🍿🍺🇺🇸👍. You have a new subscriber 🎉. Keep up the great 👍 work 🎉.

Dude, been searching for this information for a long time. Thank you

I’m using the Satechi HUB dock model for iPad it’s has USB C HDMI JACK 3.5 and USB 3.0 it’s very simple but basic work it’s just fine

That’s a so smart solution!

Thank you man, very helpful for me.

Really appreciate this video … so helpful!!

This is what i need brother perfect. ❤❤❤❤

Thanks!

Thanks Stephen for your video. Lot of useful info. Many of us are trying to sort all this out to see what works best. One thing though is perhaps this hub works well initially, but it has some pretty bad reviews, many about the hub failing after a while. Just bought the same iPhone 15 Pro Max you have. 512GB. Cox Cable is setting up a mobile service. And they've been offering a $500 discount on new iPhone 15s, varoius models, to use the service for a least 2 months before they'll unlock the phone. Wanted a 1TB one too but it wasn't available. Offer expires tonight. I bought mine for $899 vs $1399 plus more tax from Apple. Too good of a deal to pass up. :)

I got T7 shield works fine direct however problem I have is it stopping recording and dropping HDMI when some hubs are used and other hubs don't work via USB-C... I instead use the USB port for hard drive which has speed for log and then plug mics into USB-C on the anker hub this works fine for some reason...?

Nice job Stephen!

The performance looks great, about the satechi dock, it seems like it’s only sata m.sata, the ssd you used is nvme (basically pci express) and it uses a slightly different connector which is called NGFF (usually backwards compatible to sata). Great video nonetheless!

I bought this exact set-up and it worked great on my initial tests. I got the Selore M.2 SATA NGFF USB hub and the Samsung 2TB 980 Pro 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD. Then the next time I fired it up, I got the red exclamation point hovering on my iPhone record button and it stopped recording. I'm using the BlackMagic app, iPhone 15 pro max. The drive was formatted to APSF. I tried reformatting the drive to EXFat and that didn't help. I'm also powering the hub with a 65W Anker power bank. The ProRes 4k 422 clip dropped frames or would just stop recording after 20 seconds. Now every time I just plug the drive's enclosure into my iPhone I get some sort of error. It sounds like I may have gotten a bad enclosure, as I don't think just plugging the Selore into the phone and getting an error would be the fault of the 980 pro without even spinning up. I was just about to take it out on an important job, so glad I re-tested. I'll try getting another of the same hub and hope it was just a bad hub on the first try, because I really want to like this setup, vs a separate T7 drive and a hub.

Fascinating

TQ. SUBSCRIBED!!

So the phone doesn't overheat, that's important.

I started recording video podcasts and this video helped me so much. Question, I bought the products you suggested but when using my external rodecaster duo into the hub as audio source in Final Cut Camera app. But the audio drifts mid way through. Anything I can do?

Can you please do the test without charging? This shouldn’t over heat your iPhone in either test.

The "dockcase explore 10in1" hub should be capable.

Is there some cooling for the iPhone that maybe could allow that 4k60 + external display setup? Maybe a magsafe cooler exist or a backbone for mobile gaming with fans could keep it cool and if there is external mic the noise could be non significant

I've never liked Satechi stuff... having a built-in SSD is so great. Really hope someone makes a power bank with USB-C hub + SSD. Or they could make a UHS-II card reader and drop the SSD altogether.

Thanks Stephen, great video. May i ask which Anker hub you used that caused the frame to drop? Is it the ANKER 555 USB-C 8 in 1?

Hey Stephen, I'm new to all this, and believe I made a mistake. I got a WD Black SN770 NVMe, thinking it would work the same. After much tribulation, it looks like the only way I can get it to work is to power the hub with an external source. I'm going to try a USB-C battery to see if that works. Any other thoughts?

I think that the best way is iPhone 15 Pro/MAX with 1TB internal memory. Than I can use a microphone via USB C directly to iPhone. Notice: All HUBs are overheating and burden iPhone battery. BlackMagic CAM app can recording up 4K 60 fps Apple Pro Res to internal memory. This way is the best. Thank you for your video!

Nice man, but how big is the Rig?

that Big hub , i think Orico Usb 3.2 Hub 10Gb is better

Made my own USB hub case that has HDMI out, Audio, USB-C Charging, and holds an SSD all at once: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eJZ9atKZ15fIZWw.html

I bought a 4tb Samsung shield before my 15 max was delivered. If I want to use that and a plug into to tho hub would that work? I realize that I would be giving up the power or the mic.

Great video! Any idea if it will work on a standard iPhone 15?

Hi Stephen! Great video, super helpful. I'm hoping to use this hub for my mobile gimbal setup, but will need to run it through a right-angle usb-c adaptor. Do you have any recommendations on adaptors that won't kill the functionality of the hub, since some can be picky?

Thanks Stephen for the wonderful tips! My question is can the same thing possible shooting with an iPhone 14 pro ?

i AirPlay mirror to my Mac so I can see a big monitor. doesn't seem to effect performance.

could you please suggest a smaller c-type splitter for iphone 15 pro

Did you try a self-powered monitor instead of an iPad? I wonder if that would solve the phone overheating issue.

What’s the best way to copy large video and photos from iPhone to a computer? Can we use usbc cable?

Thanks for your video. Is there a way to monitor your audio from the iphone 15 Pro or Max while recording if you were using a ssd ext drive or not and just recording to internal iphone?

I’m growing frustrated because I bought the identical setup, followed the protocol you described, but using both the camera app and the Blackmagic app I found that the apps would only recognize the external ssd intermittently or not al all. While recording, both apps default to the iPhone storage. I’ve seen another Tuber say that the iPhone will NOT recognize a gen 4 ssd like these. I have no idea what to do now.

Stephen, I have a Iphone 11. What if I put an adapter between the hub and the Iphone. (so lightning to USB C.) Will this work?

Hey Stephen, thank you for the great video (and your other great videos!). I had a question, do you know if it is possible to set up the iPhone 15 pro to be able to have an external display, mouse, keyboard, eternal microphone AND then use the camera to make facetime/zoom calls? Appreciate all your dediactionand effort man!

You are the pro at prores

The Selore USB hub that you have linked to Amazon isn't the one that Selore web site recognizes and Amazon doesn't seem to have it. Please check your recommendations for current accuracy. no M2 capability.

So.. Finally, did the SSD work for you to record only if it was powered externally from a power source? If you connected the type-c SSD directly to the iPhone (just that), it can't record? min 3:02

I have a question: With the USB-C hub, for the SSD and microphones to work, is it necessary to connect a power source such as a powerbank? Greetings from Mexico

Would u be able to just download to Icloud?

hi, great video, can it be used to record video from camera?

Would the recording automatically switch to record onto local storage when external storage is full? Thank you!

hi there...was that Samsung flashdrive fast enough for Pro Res LT-not the highest Pro Res...I have a Samsung SSD to record externally with my 15promax but if a flash drive could be fast enough for PRO RES LT (I don't need the highest quality of pro res but H.265 is too compressed some times)...I know you test a lot of equipment

You should look into a magsafe tripod adapter, much more pleasant experience than the clamps!!

Hello, please, I have a question. Is it possible to mount this system with an iPhone 14 pro? Does the usb-c hub work with a lighting adapter?

The main problem that I see with all the solutions that you can see around the web is the fact that the iphone looses it’s biggest quality… portability. With all that stuff attached the iphone is no longer something that you can take out of your pocket and film with it. So I rather just bring my camera with me (ZV-1 gen II).

THanks for post, question, doe the selore hub need power using p2 ssd inside? I bod two similar Docking Station and no one work with out external power, thanks

I´m looking for an adapter which will enable the iPhone Pro Max to record on an SSD AND(!) while the DJI Mic records the sound. Possible with Your adapter?

Im having issues with dropped frames as well with the USB-C hub from Belkin w/ 4 usbc ports. On the advertising it supposed to support 10gb/s on all ports no matter if one or multiple devices are connected. not sure why this is happening as speed shouldn't be an issue with the hub but it seems that is the only possible explanation. need a second opinion on this if anyone else has used this dock or know it has issues.

What if instead of using the hdmi out as a monitor to your iPad, you just used apple' screen mirroring function to the iPad?

is 128GB sufficient？

What’s are the dimensions on that hub? LxWxH and cable length?

Will it work with the regular iPhone 15 Model? I dont want to record log or prores, I want to connect a hub, attache my rode wireless me mic and an hdmi out for monitoring

Hey Stephen if I record in 4k 30 will the quality be good enough for video to put online for a training video instead of using the pro log?

The ssd you have linked is a Gen 4 . I thought gen 4 are not compatible with iPhone 15 pro max? I bought the 2 TB and my phone doesn’t recognize it

👋👋👋👌💫

This is the second video I’m watching by you and you have to learn how to say things properly - to not confuse anyone. MB is Megabyte and Mb is Megabit. M.2 chip isn’t pronounced M2 chip. The period in the name isn’t silent. Otherwise what you said sounded like the usb-C dongle had an M2 chip that’s in many apple products. Please do your research if you’re not sure.

You do need iOS 17.1 update for NVME to be recognized.
