00:00let'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
00:27but if you want to record in pro res log to take full advantage of it you're limited to 4k 30 frames
00:32per second internally not to mention it's going to eat up your storage really quickly unless you get
00:37a really handy external ssd solution like this it's affordable attaches with magsafe supports attaching
00:44other magsafe accessories like these ones from moft and even lets you stay connected and powered all day
00:49while filming so this is the hagabus mc100 an m.2 nvme enclosure and inside we have a silicon power
00:59one terabyte ssd you can use any m.2 2230 nvme up to two terabytes with this but right now this 70
01:07one terabyte model from silicon power is the best deal for its size so that's what i've gone with the
01:12hagabus enclosure also comes in two options the 2230 version which i've got here has two usbc ports
01:18one for data transferring to your phone and the other for 100 watt pd charging that second port
01:24lets you charge your phone while recording without having to unplug your ssd each time
01:29before picking this up a lot of the other ssd enclosures that i was comparing this to didn't
01:32even have the power port on there and i think that's a must-have feature if you want to record
01:36all day long for 10 bucks more you can upgrade to the pro version which adds another usbc it's a 2.0
01:42port at the top which is good for connected to other accessories like the dji wireless mic 2s
01:47that way you can actually sync your audio directly with your video files and you don't
01:51have to do it in post so that's pretty cool but one of the things that really sold it for me is
01:55that again 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
02:11putting it all together is super easy pop off the four screws on the back of the enclosure slide
02:16in the ssd secure it and stick on the included thermal pad to keep things cool during use close
02:22it all back up and you're almost there before you can connect it to your iphone and use it to record
02:27video you need to format it on your computer to expat after that you can plug it into your phone and
02:31you're ready to record those huge pro res log video files speaking of file sizes this is what you can
02:36get with the one terabyte drive 4k 24 frames per second for 179 minutes 30 for 144 60 for 72 and 120 for just
02:4535 minutes i mean that's pretty wild considering that without this one we could only record 4k 30
02:51frames per second but two i mean now we can record 120 that's incredible just keep in mind though you
02:58are going to need to be a little bit smart with what you record you're going to fill this up pretty
03:02quickly because 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 them
03:31without 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
03:41and use this for your photos music documents or whatever else so there you have it turning your
03:46iphone into a serious mobile filmmaking tool with the one simple and expensive accessory i think it's
03:52the best money i've spent in a long time
