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.

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.
