External SSD + iPhone 15 Pro/iPhone 15 Pro Max

The ability to shoot ProRes Log on iPhone is a game changer but also at the same time a data eater. Thankfully Apple opened up the ability to record Log footage directly to an external SSD if you need to via USB-C.
I saw ‪@iPhonedo‬ do this and I just had to try it out for myself, and it's perfect.
Check out the original video that inspired me from ‪@iPhonedo‬
iPhone 15 Pro Max - DIY MagSafe 2TB Storage for ProRes Recording.

Love this. I can see a lot of photographers and videographers wanting the option to shoot from their phone at the highest quality without worrying about storage. This will be my go to for situations like gatherings where I take a ton of photos and video but plan to only keep select ones. I can easily transfer to the computer for better editing.

@@NicoDa1Well, you are maybe too young, but SSDs are highly sensitive not just to magnets but all kinds of radiation. That is the reason why SSDs are packed to the brim with error correcting algorithms (google it) and are double and triple saving bits and bytes because SSDs degrade already without magnets next to it. That being said, that MagSafe magnets are certainly not great but due to the build in resilience, all that happens is that the lifetime of the SSD degrades faster.

There's a newer version of that Samsung drive. the t7 shield. It has a rugged case. it is slightly thicker than the t5, but I think it is a bit wider so the radius of the ring maybe a bit more fitting. but this is a great idea. thanks for this!

@corey7219 9 ай бұрын

The rugged version would be more challenging, because it has less of a surface area than the regular t7 due to the design of the case itself

Roger: Great idea. The new magnetic ring you recommend (Encased Magnetic Mount 2-pk) is more like a disc than a ring. Do you still attach the magnetic side to the MagSafe area of the iPhone case and then the adhesive side to Samsung SSD? Does it add much additional weight?

@mythrol 10 ай бұрын

I did this same setup using the recommended magnetic ring from iphonedo and I didn't need to add a zip tie or anything because the recommended magnetic ring from Amazon has a stronger magnet on it. It works perfect and I've tested it on multiple iphones. I'd spend the extra money on the stronger magnetic ring because I hate the look of zip ties or tie downs on this otherwise clean setup.

Thank you for the video. I wish I could buy a silver version of that T7 SSD in Germany. I can get only a titan grey, red, or blue one. The titan grey is a bit too dark for summer use. Never mind, how strong is the magnet you're using? Can you trust the magnet to hold the SSD by itself?

@0nemoa 6 ай бұрын

I have that exact setup. I thought I was the only one. T7 with a Magnet ring on the back, though I went with a much more powerful magnet ring. I have that same cable too. It works perfectly. And yeah the ring is slightly bigger but who cares, throw some baby powder on the sticky areas that are exposed and you are all set. Also the T7 is a much better drive then that other one.

Hi there. Great video...I have a Saumsung T7 SSD and an iphone 15 promax...but I wonder if there is a USB-C flash drive/thumb drive that would be fast enough for Pro Res LT- I don't need the highest Pro Res HQ- so have you tried the SK 512GB Dual USB C Flash Drive, 2-in-1 External USB 3.2 Gen2? It's a USB drive and it has USB C on one end and regular USB A at the other...I wonder if it is really fast for video recording with my new iphone 15 pro max...easier to carry thanmy Samsung T7 SSD. Also I want to keep the weight to a minimum so that I can use the drive attached to the phone while on a small gimbal like the DJI Mobile 6 which can only carry 290grams. Thanks

You can get a u shaped usb c male to female male to male, etc and that leaves no hanging wire, also, if you cut the mag safe in half or in quarters, that allow one to have it with no hanging or protruding part, also you can get small portable chargers that have MagSafe inbuilt and then attach the memory to the charger and you have a dual memory and charger back up that will sit on any set up, phone small tablet, etc.

Great idea, but one issue is running out of battery before your shooting. My 12 Pro will run out of battery a,d with .5TB I never ran out of storage. My new 15 Pro has 1 TB. How do you address the power issues unless you go to a docking station with multiple I/O ports with a USB-C power in port like I have for my iPad Air Gen Pro?? No one has answered that question. Seems like we need a 2-1 USB-c cable that will supply power and well as the video. Just sayin’!
