GoPro has been the go-to consumer-level action camera pretty much since the HERO2 launched in 2011. Other cameras have been around in the same time frame, but no brand has become synonymous with the term ‘action camera’ like GoPro. Mind you, in recent times, as the HERO series has become smarter, sharper and gathered features, […]

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.

While many drones over the past several years have promised “autonomous” flight, very few have actually delivered. Even the latest drone from industry leader DJI, the Mavic Air, only offers relatively limited sense-and-avoid capabilities. Welcome to the Future? The Skydio R1 brings the futuristic possibility of drones being able to fly all on their own one step […]
Fujifilm’s mirrorless lineup of X Series cameras has an excellent reputation, especially thanks to their ability to produce great-looking images comparable to full-frame competitors from crop sensors due to their unique image processing. Among still photographers, the X-Pro 2 and X-T2 especially have earned top marks and even replaced the standard Canon and Nikon gear […]
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.
