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.
