iPhone 11 Pro — more camera than smartphone?

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 […]

DJI announces the Osmo Mobile 3 with a new folding design

DJI is known for two things: drones and gimbals. And with no new drone releases in the past year, gimbals have definitely dominated. In December 2018 we saw the incredibly popular Osmo Pocket make its debut. Then just last month DJI modernized its Ronin lineup with Ronin-SC. Now, with their most recent release, DJI is […]

Filming an iPhone X Unboxing Video with another iPhone X

Filming an iPhone X Unboxing Video with another iPhone X

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.
