Since upgrading to the new iPhone 15 Pro Max, I have been hunting for the ultimate mobile filmmaking camera rig. Searching YouTube yielded many interesting results, but nothing that satisfied all of my practical needs and aesthetic preferences. With the new USB-C interface, and the ability to shoot ProRes LOG, the iPhone is now compatible with a host of accessories that make it a formidable filmmaking tool. To fully exploit these possibilities, the rig needs to support external storage, microphones, lights, a monitor, and a matte box. Through much research (and trial and error), I have configured what I believe to be the greatest possible setup. I will be recording a YouTube video on the rig’s construction (with links to all of the components) very soon.
