A Tool For The Pro’s
While the iPhone may not be everyones choice for A-Cam on a professional set, it is by far one of the best options for a BTS camera.
It’s compact size, versatile mounting methods, waterproof design allows it to capture unique moments of the creative process and I have used it on almost every professional project I have been a part of.

& Content Creators
Vlogging with DSLR’s and large mirrorless cameras is certainly a fun vibe, but if you want something a bit more practical, look no further than the camera that is already in your pocket.
Documenting and capturing your daily life or whatever your content creation niche is can be made even easier with filming on the iPhone.
with new professional codecs and integrations into pro editing software like Davinci Resolve, the iPhone is truly an incredible tool for content creators.
