FINALLY A iPhone 15 Pro Grip With Built In SSD! 

Wow! Thanks so much for featuring us Michael, honestly didn't expect this at all! Can't wait to get this out to people to try :) Thanks again!

Also can confirm the 52mm thread stays in place and doesn't need to be removed when sliding in or out the phone. This design was implemented so that the lens filter area can be made for other adaptors or lens sizes or even other mobile cases with inbuilt threads etc.

I have 0 need for this……but I want it…

I purchased the 15 Pro Max with 512gb and the Brandon Lei Case. Its simply and ultra-capable without going overboard with rigging. Its important not to lose sight that the iPhone paired witj the Blacknagic camera app is all about convenience / performance. I'm very happy with the final results and the speed I can compose and film is astonishing. I film short case studies and social media commercials for a well-known Home Improvements channel.

So we recently announced the SSD Pro, this not only includes a NVME drive, but also, charging, USB IO and HDMI out. 😊

I really want this, it looks basically perfect, I hope they add a battery bank attachment

Anything like this for IPhone 13 Pro Max?? I’m looking to attach a SSD drive to my phone while on a cage as well

Just now signed up to be on their waiting list. Looks very promising.

The new iRe5 case on kickstarter has a built-in microSD slot (up to 1TB), even more minimal for everyday use! 😊

I’m looking at getting into real estate photography and would love to use my iPhone for this. Is there a wide angle lens that would be good for this. This is the lens I was told to get for a canon camera, Canon EF-M 11-22mm f/4-5.6 STM Lens Thank you for your help

Hi! What is that beautiful iPad stand you have in this video? Thanks ++

Now that's iphone innovation! good job

Hello, Which bluetooth microphone (not usb-c or Lightning) do you recommend for iPhone? It’s just that if I record on SSD with 15pro Max I can’t use a DJI MIC type microphone. Thanks

Looks like a great product. Hopefully it will work with the iPhone 16 Pro once it comes out.

Micheal i love your content and i want to know what stand are you using for ipad pro

This looks brilliant.👍

This looks amazing. There is just two one nagging things that make me take pause. First is the 52mm filter mount. I like that it’s universal. But what about lenses? SmallRig and Neewer cages have interchangeable plates to mount 17mm, M, and T style lenses. I’m already pretty vested in lenses. If they intend to make lens mount options I’m in. Lastly is the lack of support for the iPhone 16’s new multifunction button. This one isn’t a huge deal, as I’m pretty sure the case will have all the functionality that the Apple’s extra button/touch slider will have. But no lens support is a deal breaker for me

Yes! #MorePlease of Michelle! :) Glad to see her in the video! Another great one Michael! And uh, LOVING that iPad setup! #TobinCaseRIP

Couldmyou review the Condor Blue USB-C Media Hub?

Just backed it. I think that the add ons come out just before the shipping... I hope so...Looking forward to the package.

Can you charge it with the basic SSD kit? Can I put like a cooling fan on the back or something? Cool grip!

The thumbnail was irresistible lmfao

The filter module is nice but I often use 17 mm threaded lenses. Wonder if there will be an option for that? Thanks. Appreciate you.

I’d love to see Apple’s native app offer a couple of different flavors of Apple LOG. I think they have gone overboard by restricting recording to 422 HQ. At least one other codec should be available - 422 LT or even HEVC LOG. That could really simplify the rigging of the phone and eliminate the need for an SSD.

52mm sounds like a really small thread size, particularly given that, with a case and the grip itself, there will be a little distance between the camera and the filter itself. Particularly interested to know if there is vignetting using the ultra wide lens.

I want a grip that takes a Sony NPF and a memory card. It’s possible, I’ve connected these two things to a USB-C hub. The NPF charges the phone, and the phone obviously records to the card.

What iPad stand is that?

Do u know if the filter mount just let u drop in filter? Or do you have to remove mount then install filter? Wasn’t sure if I missed that part if you mentioned already. Thx.

hi i have a doubt all those grips didn't make iphone feel warmer when use in video recording ? what's the cooling soultion ?

Hey Michael, this looks like a pretty promising rig so far in the market even compared to the major brands like smallrig or beastgrip ! But the only issue that I can see here is that wheter you can charge the phone when the phone is mounted on this while recording..? since the usb c port is directly connected to ssd card connection within the mount.. how would you continue to record without having to take the phone off and charge which will be a 'DOWNTIME' while other rigs, you can connect a usb c hub and through PD port and supply a continued power to the phone, this will prevent the downtime. I am pretty keen know if they thought about this because if you are recording in ProRes Log 4k 30/60, the battery will drain quickly.

A 4tb iphone Ultra with fastest thunderbolt port and 6000mah battery in future will fix the need of recording externally. Also if they somehow bring electronic reinforced glass internal ND then it would be possible to get away with or without any extra lens filter.

This looks awesome, but the campaign says it's closed now and did not reach thegoal? Do you have any more insider info about this product??

Would you ever consider sharing the results from a professional project you shot using your iphone rig with the dof adapter? There's a lot of videos talking about gear for stuff like this, but actually very little showing the results from rigs built out like this. I think the team at Strada is currently the only ones truly showing real world results from utilizing these iphone rigs. Lately I've been feeling like a lot of content talking about gear and very little actually being shared other than "backyard tests". Seeing the results can be more interesting. Just a thought. Keep doing your thing man!

Someone’s beat us to it 😆 I’m actually glad.

Pretty cool!

All looks good but one thing has me thinking. The distance between the filter mount and the lenses might cause some bad vignette on the ultra wide lens. This is something I'd like to see .

Me perdí en la buena iluminación de tu set. Uff 👌🏻

I just backed it. Thanks for the video

I love the innovation we’re starting to see in this market. My issue with this design is that, in its current state at least, there doesn’t seem to be an option to add a USB-C microphone since the usb port is taken up (and covered) by the case itself. Yeah I know there are plans for a future “studio” version, which is great, but that’s more of a “someday” thing. I think a lot of people are looking for an all-in-one solution as opposed to something that might answer a couple of concerns (primarily storage). The other thing I see (and I could be totally off here) is that anyone who sees the need for a grip with this much storage is clearly somebody that takes filming on an iPhone more seriously than a casual user. Casual users have no idea how much storage you need because they typically record at a much smaller format. So if that’s true, then these people probably also already have lenses typically T series lenses or M series lenses. I have a number of cages that have adaptors for both. If this case had a solution for fitting either of those lenses, then that would make it more attractive to people who might be more of a pro market. And yes, I do realize there is a thread for filters, but many people who are in the iPhone film or videography space have probably invested in specialized lenses for iPhones. So again, I think it’s fantastic that this company has started to explore the space of iPhone cages that have something built-in internally that we might find more useful (in this case memory storage) however, I feel like the design of it is being targeted to a specific user base, but that user base needs more features for it to be attractive. Obviously, I don’t speak for everybody because that would be ridiculous, but from my own experience, I’m waiting for something that just comes with more features before I invest.

5:30 minutes in and I am hoping they have a plan for future iPhone versions with the 16 around the corner

I still don‘t know how you handle the battery consumption of the ssd or ext. Mic. Even when the iphone is in stdby it will feed the devices. Any idea exept unplugging?

I find it amazing that such small company, well Team, creates such a well thought product. How long did it take to develop it? I’d love to hear about the creation process.

The campaign does not have a single video that shows in detail how this works, and they apparently don't have one to give you at the moment. The SSD, if chosen, is no-name. A current, 4th generation standard size NVMe will not run on an iPhone because they draw too much power. It's possible that a 22mmx30mm NVMe will draw less power, but it also means putting a 1TB or larger NVMe in a much smaller enclosure. Query what this means for heat, which is already an issue with standard size NVMe enclosures. If you want to try this, it's already available on Amazon for less money and free 30 day return if you aren't happy. Not noted in the video above, shipping for this proposed product to the U.S. is not cheap.

Seems the timing is a bit strange, by the time it comes out the iPhone 16 will already be out, which is said to have significant design differences. Probably will wait to see if will support it.

I would love to see it in action

Well the obvious question would be, Size... which iphone will it work with and or will they offer two versions?

Could you please review the Condor Blue USB-C Media Hub??

Any ideas when the pro accessories will be available?

If they make a 35mm lens plate I’m down

wish the ability to charge the phone was there from the start vice future capability. I would go for it now if ability to charge was there.

It’s got a built in grappling hook. Built in printing. Ps5 controller. Built in frill, car jack…. Why not just wait till they send you a unit?

I want this for my Samsung but not for recording just for backing up videos and pics and audiobooks. Especially when you change phones more than once a year

Where would i plug my mic in??

wish it was for s24 ultra.

Niceeeee.. to bad can't order to my country

I guess the next obvious negative is as soon as the latest iPhone launches, it's become another piece of gear to sell

I assumed the case are future prove for iphone 16 Pro and Pro Max.

Nice!

Saweet🎉

I'll but it nice it's released. I've been burned way too many times with these fundme type setups....

But if you’re going to spend that much money to rig out your phone like the beast grip where it’s this massive thing that you’ve spent hundreds if not thousands of dollars on overall (lens monitor, etc etc) why not buy an FX3 to begin with?

China just said, “hold my beer”. 😮

the storage issue can be easily solved by adding a dedicated sd card slot - if only apple wanted to.

The Indigogo campaign has ended. Sadly, the designers didn't make their financial goal. Has there been any word about this item? Is it still going ahead or is the product being shelved. It looks amazing. Fingers crossed it will still happen.

i rather get tilta khronos instead of this

What stand are you using? I’ve been looking for an adjustable one

nice

As with everything iPhone. It's not future proof. The next version of phone will probably incompatible due to size, change in design, etc. I hate that for these great 3rd party tools... but it's something I always consider. But then again, I tend to hang on to my phones for 3-4yrs unless there is something seriously innovative. Good luck to this company. I'd like to get them a shot, but need to think about it a bit more...

Have you use it and is this company is genuine?

I have rarely seen a report as confused as this one.

Needs a fan or it will overheat and drop frames outdoors.

…an iPhone. Surely?

It tells bandwiths about apple, when a third party company has to design something like this 😀

An*

In some ways, Ipho-vedeography is just so wasteful. The gear is useless as soon as the phone is superseded and from day one, phone cameras are so comprimised.

gg

Wait a minute... So... If you're using the case with the SSD drive... there's no way you can charge your iPhone? No extra USB-C port anywhere? REALLY? I must be missing something. Otherwise.it's DOA.
