00:02let's talk about the best iphone 16 pro hack for mobile filmmakers powered external storage it's
00:08like the ultimate all-in-one on-the-go filmmaker setup today we're unlocking 4k 120 fps pro res
00:15log video recording and saving you about 400 in storage upgrade costs hello i like money
00:22the iphone 16 pro and pro max are arguably the best pocket video cameras that you can get today
00:26but if you want to record in pro res log to take full advantage of it you're limited to 4k
00:3130 frames
00:32per second internally not to mention it's going to eat up your storage really quickly unless you
00:37get a really handy external ssd solution like this it's affordable attaches with magsafe supports
00:43attaching other magsafe accessories like these ones from moft and even lets you stay connected
00:48and powered all day while filming so this is the hagabus mc100 an m.2 nvme enclosure and inside
00:58we have a silicon power one terabyte ssd you can use any m.2 2230 nvme up to two terabytes
01:05with this
01:05but right now this 70 dollar one terabyte model from silicon power is the best deal for its size
01:10so that's what i've gone with the hagabus enclosure also comes in two options the 2230 version which
01:16i've got here has two usbc ports one for data transferring to your phone and the other for 100
01:22watt pd charging that second port lets you charge your phone while recording without having to unplug
01:27your ssd each time before picking this up a lot of the other ssd enclosures that i was comparing this
01:32to didn't even have the power port on there and i think that's a must-have feature if you want
01:36to
01:36record all day long for 10 bucks more you can upgrade to the pro version which adds another usbc
01:41it's a 2.0 port at the top which is good for connected to other accessories like the dji wireless
01:47mic 2s that way you can actually sync your audio directly with your video files and you don't have
01:51to do it in post so that's pretty cool but one of the things that really sold it for me
01:55is that
01:55again magsafe moft power bank attached powered on charging my phone and now that's attached
02:05powered external storage it's like the ultimate all-in-one on-the-go filmmaker setup putting it
02:12all together is super easy pop off the four screws on the back of the enclosure slide in the ssd
02:17secure
02:18it and stick on the included thermal pad to keep things cool during use close it all back up and
02:23you're almost there before you can connect it to your iphone and use it to record video you need to
02:27format it on your computer to expat after that you can plug it into your phone and you're ready to
02:32record those huge pro res log video files speaking of file sizes this is what you can get with the
02:36one terabyte drive 4k 24 frames per second for 179 minutes 30 for 144 60 for 72 and 120 for
02:45just 35
02:46minutes i mean that's pretty wild considering that without this one we could only record 4k 30 frames
02:52per second but two i mean now we can record 120 that's incredible just keep in mind though you are
02:58going
02:59to need to be a little bit smart with what you record you're going to fill this up pretty quickly
03:03because again those file sizes are massive but another big advantage with this setup is that it
03:07saves you a lot of money compared to buying a one terabyte model from apple directly which would be a
03:12500 upgrade over the base 128 gigabyte storage option this is a little bit less than 100 so that's
03:19a pretty great deal money but beyond that you have all your video files recorded here now so i can
03:25directly disconnect this from my phone put into my computer and i'm ready to export edit or share
03:30them without needing to deal with my phone now also since your phone recognizes this as external storage
03:35within the files app you're not just limited to recording video you can free up your phone storage
03:40and use this for your photos music documents or whatever else so there you have it turning your iphone
03:46into a serious mobile filmmaking tool with the one simple and expensive accessory i think it's the best
03:52money i'll spend a long time
