iPhone 11 Pro Max

we just wrapped shoot on the  iPhone 11 Pro Max. We just wanted to give you our overall thoughts on this camera after having shotwith it now for a few weeks. Know this is not a detailed breakdown of every single feature that comes with the iPhone 11. This is really just ourthoughts and impressions on the video capabilities of the iPhone 11 and how it compares to theiPhone 10, its predecessor. The footage you just saw was shot entirely on the iPhone 11 by our team. Mostly, we're using Freefly Movi which is one of ourgo-to phone stabilizers. But some of the shotswere also shot handheld. Which brings us to ourfirst big improvement from the iPhone 10 to the iPhone 11 is the image stabilization. It does a great job when shooting at keeping everything very buttery smooth. This is especially helpfulwhen using the telephoto lens because every little movementwas smoothed out beautifully. Apple continues to improvetheir stabilization every single year, making it super practical forshooting handheld if needed. So now let's talk aboutthe biggest new feature that comes with the iPhone 11 which, of course, is having three lenses. When it first came out, the internet went to town on this look saying it looked like a stove top and a bunch of other things. The image is great on all three lenses but if I had to choose thesoftest lens of the three, I'd say it's the ultra widelens, the 13 millimeter. Because it's so wide, youwill see a lot of distortion in this lens but ourteam still loved using it and, yes, like every lens, it has a place. So while it is a great option and a great tool to usein certain situations, it wasn't my favorite andI wouldn't really recommend using it a lot because theother lenses are better but seeing that it's thefirst edition of a lens of its type for the iPhone, it's understandable that itstill has a long way to go and a lot of work to put into it so I'm excited to see the next models and what they can doto improve the quality. But if you're wanting to buy the iPhone 11 specifically just for thatthird ultra wide lens, I don't think it's worth it. Another con to usingthe 13 millimeter lens is when you put it on the Freefly Movi, it's so wide, you can seethe Movi's motor and handle so you can't even use it on the Movi and so we weren't able to useit with the Movi just handheld but, like we said, because the iPhone hasgreat stabilization, we were able to use the ultrawide millimeter lens handheld without seeing a whole lot of problems. The other two lenses, the standard lens which is equivalent toabout a 26 millimeter and the telephoto lens which is about a 52 millimeter,performed beautifully. All the footage you saw was shot at 4K at 60 frames per second and slowed down to 24 frames in post, same specs as the iPhone10, so nothing new there. Our next thing we lovedabout the iPhone 11 and probably the secondbiggest upgrade to it from previous models isthe improved battery life. Apple decided to removethe 3D touch feature from the iPhone 11 which allowed more room for a bigger and better battery. Shooting 4k at 60fps andusing a third-party app tends to eat your battery up quickly. For that recent shoot, weused it for 3 straight hours and, by the end of the shoot, we ended the day on a 50% charge. This is probably the biggestimprovement from the iPhone 10 and the main reasonwe'd recommend upgrading from the iPhone 10 to the iPhone 11. With the iPhone 10 on a normal day, my phone would usuallydie at around 8 or 9 p.m. Where, as with the iPhone11, by the end of the day, I'm usually at a 30-40% charge. So I definitely love thisfeature and I'm super excited they decided to go away from the 3D touch to improve the battery life because that's what weall care about more. So if you're wanting toupgrade from the iPhone 10 to the iPhone 11 solely forthe battery, it's worth it. Another pro with the iPhone 11in any smart phone in general is the versatility it comeswith in regards to filmmaking. It's so easy to travelwith and you can set it up and shoot within secondsand produce incredible work. As opposed to carrying around your DSLR, setup, or cinema cameras. Obviously the iPhonequality isn't as good as a DSLR or cinema camera and it still won't be taking over as our go-to camera for professional work but it's incredible forrun-and-gun shooting, vacations, and even small projects. The quality, versatility, andpracticality of the iPhone is unmatched, in our opinion, compared to any other smart phone. Parker even used the iPhone 10in a recent real estate video and here's a side-by-sidelook at his iPhone 10 footage stacked up next to the 1 DX Mark II. And, as you can see, theyare pretty indistinguishable especially when viewingon a mobile device. He even threw some of the iPhone 10 shots into the final video to seeif the client would notice and the client didn't so, can the iPhone be used professionally? We think so. But, obviously, we don'trecommend it as your main camera. Also, FYI, since the iPhone 10 doesn't have a wide angle lens, Parker used the Moment Wide Angle Lens for that real estate shoot and we like the qualityof the standard lens with an external wideangle lens much better than the new wide anglelens on the iPhone 11. So if you're just wantinga wide angle lens, we recommend buying a third-partyMoment Wide Angle Lens as opposed to buying the iPhone11 just for a wider angle. The quality on the iPhone 10with a Moment Wide Angle Lens is much better than the iPhone 11's. And lastly, one other con tobe aware of with any iPhone and any smart phone ingeneral with filmmaking, is the lack of depth of field or the ability to adjustyour aperture low enough for that beautiful bokehor background blur. Yes, iPhones have thatartificial bokeh for photos but nothing for videoso maybe in the future they'll figure out a software solution but as long as thesensors remain this small, I wouldn't ever expect backgroundblur with a low aperture in video from phone cameras. So there are our thoughts. Overall, the iPhone 11 as a phone I think is a huge upgradefrom the iPhone 10 but as a filmmaker's tool,I'd say it's a slight upgrade. We weren't insanely impressed with it. There weren't any huge leapsforward in video quality. The main one just beingthe improved battery life which we were huge fans of. So if you're looking toupgrade your phone specifically for video-making andyou had the iPhone 10, we don't hugely recommend it but if want improved batterylife and slightly better specs and don't care too much aboutthat softer wide angle lens, then the iPhone 11 is a great choice. But I am excited to seewhat Apple can do now now that they've startedon this three lens venture. I'm excited to see their nextmodels and their next upgrades because, if Apple's proven anything, it's just that theycontinually get better. That's it, guys.
