Anything and everything tech related.
September — or as it’s known to the tech community Techtember — marks the first of the fall hardware months; the time of year when tech companies big and small release their “latest and greatest” to entice consumers as we prepare for the holiday shopping season. Apple is perhaps the most well-known for its fall […]
Apple’s new iPhone 11 Pro is all about cameras. With three 12mp/4K cameras on the back, it is a full lens kit in your pocket. For my video I decided to not only test out the new iPhone 11 Pro camera but also compare it to an iPhone X and iPhone XS I was lucky […]
Apple’s new iPhone 11 Pro is a lot like the previous generation. Sure you get a new processor and an updated matte finish on the back, but otherwise, it is an iPhone XS. Except for one noticeable difference: it has 150% more cameras on the back. The iPhone 11 Pro’s triple camera setup is by […]
RED’s Hydrogen One phone is coming to Verizon and AT&T sometime this summer, although there’s no word yet as to a final release date or what it will cost to buy the upcoming phone through carriers. The Hydrogen One first opened preorders last July with an early $1,200 price tag, and was recently delayed until […]
The iPhone X will likely go down in history as the smartphone that proved whether or not people are willing to drop $1000+ on a new smartphone, but for me it represents something different: Apple’s first phone where they prioritized a new technology over user experience. While there are so many things to like about […]
Preorders for the new Samsung Galaxy S9 started yesterday. While most phones are cheaper through the carrier than buying factory unlocked, many tech blogs were quick to notice that this was not the case for the S9 and S9 Plus. AT&T, Sprint, & Verizon are all selling the new S9 and S9 Plus for between […]
Samsung announced the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ on Sunday at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) event in Barcelona. Whether you’re a Galaxy S8 owner or you’ve been keeping up with the S9 rumors, little about Samsung’s new smartphone is new. The Galaxy S9 retains the overall design of the Galaxy S8, but Samsung listened […]
Over the weekend Orange.ro accidentally published the product page for the Galaxy S9. It was quickly pulled, causing the link to redirect to general handsets, but the original details can still be viewed thanks to web caching. What Orange Romania revealed is the Galaxy S9 will indeed stick with the 5.8-inch Quad HD OLED ‘Infinity Display’ introduced with […]
The iPhone X features one of the greatest cameras ever put in a smartphone. Well, two of the greatest cameras since it actually features two sensors. One with a wide angle (28mm, f1.8) lens and the other with a “telephoto” (56mm, f2.4) lens. These shoot 12mp photos, but more importantly for the mobile filmmakers out there, they are capable of capturing video at 4k/60fps & 1080p/240fps using either lens, PLUS with optical image stabilization.
With this in mind, I know I had to put it to the test ASAP. How soon you ask? Before I even got it out of the box. Due to the sheer impossibility of this, I asked my friend and fellow YouTuber Stetson Doggett to come help and bring along his recently unboxed iPhone X so I could fulfill my iPhone-ception desires. It was hard at times to resist just filming the unboxing with my Sony A7Sii, but armed with just the iPhone X, a DJI Osmo Mobile, and tripod adapter — we set out to film an unboxing video that would make J.J. Abrams jealous. Let me know what you think.
Overall I personally was very impressed with the quality of footage I was able to shoot with the iPhone X. I’m someone who loves super long lenses and lots of bokeh, so setting out to shoot an unboxing with only a 24mm & 58mm available was definitely daunting. With a little practice though (and some over the top lens flares) I found that capturing the gorgeous looking shots I was imagining was entirely possible.
