Wow. This is crazy. Gotta try this. Thank you. I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max and when I originally bought the phone I didn’t really intend to use it for doing the video so I got the smallest storage size and of course things changed and I needed to actually use it to make videos and I kept running into issues of where my phone would fill up. Thank you for the solution.
@@beardfm so if I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max you think it may not work? I guess it’s worth trying. I can always order through Amazon and return if it doesn't work.
This is great ! exactly what I needed after realizing my sandisk SSD extreme pro was just too slow for prores with apple log. I was exploring USB - CF card reader route but this provides similar write speeds as CF with half the price !!! Thank you sir !
This is just amazing... You can do all this stuff now with just an iPhone? Man, I have been out of the Apple loop for a while, but even I have to say, this is like the Ramp up to the 2000s and the Intel Macs all over again! That same "You can do this amazing thing" dynamic is all there. Seems like my next Trip is going to be an amazing one!
I hope this works for me. I plan to use the hub with an external power battery, power to a Tascam recorder FR-AV2, while hopefully the time code from the Tascam will sync to the iPhone, and of course use it to power the iPhone for long video shoots while also storing the video file to an external SSD. Or maybe I'll use the hub M.2 SSD if it works for 4 TB. I still need to research further though; I don't see that it supports USB 3.2. I also want to use a Samsung external SSD which uses USB C 3.2.
The performance looks great, about the satechi dock, it seems like it’s only sata m.sata, the ssd you used is nvme (basically pci express) and it uses a slightly different connector which is called NGFF (usually backwards compatible to sata). Great video nonetheless!
I bought this exact set-up and it worked great on my initial tests. I got the Selore M.2 SATA NGFF USB hub and the Samsung 2TB 980 Pro 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD. Then the next time I fired it up, I got the red exclamation point hovering on my iPhone record button and it stopped recording. I'm using the BlackMagic app, iPhone 15 pro max. The drive was formatted to APSF. I tried reformatting the drive to EXFat and that didn't help. I'm also powering the hub with a 65W Anker power bank. The ProRes 4k 422 clip dropped frames or would just stop recording after 20 seconds. Now every time I just plug the drive's enclosure into my iPhone I get some sort of error. It sounds like I may have gotten a bad enclosure, as I don't think just plugging the Selore into the phone and getting an error would be the fault of the 980 pro without even spinning up. I was just about to take it out on an important job, so glad I re-tested. I'll try getting another of the same hub and hope it was just a bad hub on the first try, because I really want to like this setup, vs a separate T7 drive and a hub.
@@beardfm Yes, it loaded up and I was able to do a transfer on and off the drive. I decided to take the SSD out of the Selore and just try it on the phone as a hub only with a T7. I added a power bank to power it and it wouldn't connect, so that's telling me that something probably died in the Selore hub. I re-ordered another setup of the Selore hub and SSD to mix and match and use it to troubleshoot. I'll if it works again, that'll tell me where it went wrong. In the meantime, I'm using a 10gb UGreen hub and the T7 and it's working perfectly. I just loved your solution of a faster drive inside a hub, and consolidating the setup and wires when putting together a full phone cage setup. I'd also love to test that hub and SSD to edit the ProRes footage in FCPX. Thanks again,(love your channel and content!) I'll let you know what I find out.
Thanks Stephen for your video. Lot of useful info. Many of us are trying to sort all this out to see what works best. One thing though is perhaps this hub works well initially, but it has some pretty bad reviews, many about the hub failing after a while. Just bought the same iPhone 15 Pro Max you have. 512GB. Cox Cable is setting up a mobile service. And they've been offering a $500 discount on new iPhone 15s, varoius models, to use the service for a least 2 months before they'll unlock the phone. Wanted a 1TB one too but it wasn't available. Offer expires tonight. I bought mine for $899 vs $1399 plus more tax from Apple. Too good of a deal to pass up. :)
That's a great deal for sure! And I've just recently started having some issues with the hub too. My go to now is the OWC Envoy Pro Mini for recording ProRes: amzn.to/3NccItZ
Hi Stephen! Great video, super helpful. I'm hoping to use this hub for my mobile gimbal setup, but will need to run it through a right-angle usb-c adaptor. Do you have any recommendations on adaptors that won't kill the functionality of the hub, since some can be picky?
Hi Mike, I'm trying to do the same thing - what gimbal are you using? I have the Hohem M6 with its 400g payload (heard it can bear up to 480g). Have you been able to identify a solution? What hub did you go for?
I've never liked Satechi stuff... having a built-in SSD is so great. Really hope someone makes a power bank with USB-C hub + SSD. Or they could make a UHS-II card reader and drop the SSD altogether.
Thanks! Everything works on the standard iPhone 15 *except* recording directly to an SSD. But you can still use external mics, displays, and other peripherals. I show that here: th-cam.com/video/3RWQ_pmIRTo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=PO2vtjK_MfUoRIfV
Is there some cooling for the iPhone that maybe could allow that 4k60 + external display setup? Maybe a magsafe cooler exist or a backbone for mobile gaming with fans could keep it cool and if there is external mic the noise could be non significant
@@beardfmoops, that’s not entirely true. I managed to record to a hub that contained a micro SD card with my iPhone 14. I’m using the Blackmagic app though, you can specify the storage in the settings. Not sure if the native app recognises external drives.
Hey Stephen, I'm new to all this, and believe I made a mistake. I got a WD Black SN770 NVMe, thinking it would work the same. After much tribulation, it looks like the only way I can get it to work is to power the hub with an external source. I'm going to try a USB-C battery to see if that works. Any other thoughts?
Once the drive pulls more than 4 watts, the phone won’t see it. So yes, powering the hub will provide the extra power needed for the drive to work so the phone can record to it. Please, let me know how this went for you. I want to know how hot your WD BLACK SN770 runs- does it get warm? Hot? Too hot to touch or it runs reasonably cool? Also, are you able to record without it dropping frame? I want to buy a 2TB drive and I’m not settled between the SN770, the SN850X and the Samsung 098 or the 990.
Hey Stephen, thank you for the great video (and your other great videos!). I had a question, do you know if it is possible to set up the iPhone 15 pro to be able to have an external display, mouse, keyboard, eternal microphone AND then use the camera to make facetime/zoom calls? Appreciate all your dediactionand effort man!
Thank you for that fast reply! I'm considering buying the 15 pro and seeing if it could totally replace my laptop (I don't use that much on a day to day, however I do do online meetings - this could be a fascinating workaround system). @@beardfm
I think that the best way is iPhone 15 Pro/MAX with 1TB internal memory. Than I can use a microphone via USB C directly to iPhone. Notice: All HUBs are overheating and burden iPhone battery. BlackMagic CAM app can recording up 4K 60 fps Apple Pro Res to internal memory. This way is the best. Thank you for your video!
Thanks for your video. Is there a way to monitor your audio from the iphone 15 Pro or Max while recording if you were using a ssd ext drive or not and just recording to internal iphone?
I bought a 4tb Samsung shield before my 15 max was delivered. If I want to use that and a plug into to tho hub would that work? I realize that I would be giving up the power or the mic.
Hi, thanks. Are you able to transfer files from an SD card (dlog 4k 30/60fps files) directly on to ; 1. An external ssd (recognized by iphone) plugged into the HuB? 2. On to the installed nvme drive in the hub? And finally Do you know how fast the hub supports in transfer speeds in this same question? (SD to SSD/Nvme via Iphone) This would solve videographer file backup in the field! Thanks
Yes, you can transfer between two external devices plugged both into a hub and connect to iPhone! And the speed is depending on what hub you get, the Anker one I use is 10Gbps amzn.to/4fUGhfl
I got T7 shield works fine direct however problem I have is it stopping recording and dropping HDMI when some hubs are used and other hubs don't work via USB-C... I instead use the USB port for hard drive which has speed for log and then plug mics into USB-C on the anker hub this works fine for some reason...?
The Selore USB hub that you have linked to Amazon isn't the one that Selore web site recognizes and Amazon doesn't seem to have it. Please check your recommendations for current accuracy. no M2 capability.
@@beardfm Regarding the overheating error at 4:36, would that still be an issue if recording ProRes log internally with no external SSD but with HDMI out to a monitor?
I’m growing frustrated because I bought the identical setup, followed the protocol you described, but using both the camera app and the Blackmagic app I found that the apps would only recognize the external ssd intermittently or not al all. While recording, both apps default to the iPhone storage. I’ve seen another Tuber say that the iPhone will NOT recognize a gen 4 ssd like these. I have no idea what to do now.
Did you format the SSD on your Mac? And when you plug it into your iPhone do you hear the hub making any sounds? I’ve heard from several viewers that the hub may be a lemon. If so try to return it and get another
I have a question: With the USB-C hub, for the SSD and microphones to work, is it necessary to connect a power source such as a powerbank? Greetings from Mexico
I started recording video podcasts and this video helped me so much. Question, I bought the products you suggested but when using my external rodecaster duo into the hub as audio source in Final Cut Camera app. But the audio drifts mid way through. Anything I can do?
Nice! that's a tough one, the hub may not be able to pass the data through fast enough. Only suggestion would be to try a different hub, which if you're already using the Anker is probably the best one.
do you think the iPhone 16 Pro Max will change things? I'm hoping it'll handle multi-inputs better, I want that HDMI mirroring so bad for ProRes. Also, I wish they'd offer 120fps in the Final Cut Camera app but haven't seen any update that includes that feature, and black magic camera app hasn't been updated in quite some time. Kind of bummed about that.
THanks for post, question, doe the selore hub need power using p2 ssd inside? I bod two similar Docking Station and no one work with out external power, thanks
Patrick Tomasso actually does this and he said he hasn't had overheating issues. Although you would need an app to AirPlay to the iPad, where on the Mac you can AirPlay mirror with the built-in feature.
Yes it does. I’ve tried it and it worked. You’d have to test with the proper speeds and all. You might not have enough speed through the lightspeed adapter for ProRes. But H264 does work. And you need the Blackmagic app for the ability to set external recording.
hi there...was that Samsung flashdrive fast enough for Pro Res LT-not the highest Pro Res...I have a Samsung SSD to record externally with my 15promax but if a flash drive could be fast enough for PRO RES LT (I don't need the highest quality of pro res but H.265 is too compressed some times)...I know you test a lot of equipment
The little Samsung thumb drive SSD still isn't fast enough.

Will the pro max 15 have enough wide angle as a web cam or would a good webcam be better for that type of videoing?? thanks again and happy new year
I´m looking for an adapter which will enable the iPhone Pro Max to record on an SSD AND(!) while the DJI Mic records the sound. Possible with Your adapter?
Any chance this is possible with a hub that takes 2230 nvme drives? They are very small and don’t take too much space. I would like to try something like this so I could attach external microphones and have a minimal set up that is discreet and does not result to people watching you while filming.
@@beardfm thanks! I have watched the video but so far there is no solution to add an external microphone. Lexar is having a kickstarter campaign for an ssd that attaches to a tiny media hub where you can connect microphones and this seems like the only solution so far.
So.. Finally, did the SSD work for you to record only if it was powered externally from a power source? If you connected the type-c SSD directly to the iPhone (just that), it can't record? min 3:02
I plugged in a USB drive directly and it ended up recording in pro res, however when I added a thunderbolt dock to the iphone, it did not recognize the same USB. Gonna try out my external SSD with enclosure to connect to the dock and give you an update
Will it work with the regular iPhone 15 Model? I dont want to record log or prores, I want to connect a hub, attache my rode wireless me mic and an hdmi out for monitoring
Im having issues with dropped frames as well with the USB-C hub from Belkin w/ 4 usbc ports. On the advertising it supposed to support 10gb/s on all ports no matter if one or multiple devices are connected. not sure why this is happening as speed shouldn't be an issue with the hub but it seems that is the only possible explanation. need a second opinion on this if anyone else has used this dock or know it has issues.
@@beardfm that would be a Samsung T7, tested the cable and drive by itself just to make sure it works properly without dropping frames which it does. So maybe I got a bad dock idk
@@half_full7687 This guy had the same issue with the Belkin and found just one of the ports seemed to work right th-cam.com/video/dvcSy_Xu9CI/w-d-xo.html
The main problem that I see with all the solutions that you can see around the web is the fact that the iphone looses it’s biggest quality… portability. With all that stuff attached the iphone is no longer something that you can take out of your pocket and film with it. So I rather just bring my camera with me (ZV-1 gen II).
This is the second video I’m watching by you and you have to learn how to say things properly - to not confuse anyone. MB is Megabyte and Mb is Megabit. M.2 chip isn’t pronounced M2 chip. The period in the name isn’t silent. Otherwise what you said sounded like the usb-C dongle had an M2 chip that’s in many apple products. Please do your research if you’re not sure.
You’re the real MVP. I’ve gone through multiple docks trying to get this phone to do SSD, mic, and monitoring. Add to that ND filters 😅
Thanks, and I’ve tested multiple for sure! This is the best I’ve found.
Same here. I even add a matte box, which limits the space around my rig 😬😅

I have the Moment MagSafe tripod adapter and love it! Only reason I didn't use it here was in case it caused heat issues.
is 128GB sufficient？
For the iPhone? If you’re planning on the external drive recording it should be ok. If you can I’d go at least 256 just for headroom
I started recording video podcasts and this video helped me so much. Question, I bought the products you suggested but when using my external rodecaster duo into the hub as audio source in Final Cut Camera app. But the audio drifts mid way through. Anything I can do?
Nice! that's a tough one, the hub may not be able to pass the data through fast enough. Only suggestion would be to try a different hub, which if you're already using the Anker is probably the best one.
@@beardfm thank you
do you think the iPhone 16 Pro Max will change things? I'm hoping it'll handle multi-inputs better, I want that HDMI mirroring so bad for ProRes. Also, I wish they'd offer 120fps in the Final Cut Camera app but haven't seen any update that includes that feature, and black magic camera app hasn't been updated in quite some time. Kind of bummed about that.
That’s a so smart solution!
Appreciate it! There are some great new products coming soon too, will do a follow-up soon.
THanks for post, question, doe the selore hub need power using p2 ssd inside? I bod two similar Docking Station and no one work with out external power, thanks
Yes would require power
What if instead of using the hdmi out as a monitor to your iPad, you just used apple' screen mirroring function to the iPad?
Patrick Tomasso actually does this and he said he hasn't had overheating issues. Although you would need an app to AirPlay to the iPad, where on the Mac you can AirPlay mirror with the built-in feature.
@@beardfm oh thank you! You're awesome for doing all these tests for us.
Hello, please, I have a question. Is it possible to mount this system with an iPhone 14 pro? Does the usb-c hub work with a lighting adapter?
Yes it does. I’ve tried it and it worked. You’d have to test with the proper speeds and all. You might not have enough speed through the lightspeed adapter for ProRes. But H264 does work. And you need the Blackmagic app for the ability to set external recording.
Stephen, I have a Iphone 11. What if I put an adapter between the hub and the Iphone. (so lightning to USB C.) Will this work?
Lightning speed 480MBPS like USB2.0, USB-C is 85 times faster than lightning. So only iPhone 15 can do this .
hi there...was that Samsung flashdrive fast enough for Pro Res LT-not the highest Pro Res...I have a Samsung SSD to record externally with my 15promax but if a flash drive could be fast enough for PRO RES LT (I don't need the highest quality of pro res but H.265 is too compressed some times)...I know you test a lot of equipment
The little Samsung thumb drive SSD still isn't fast enough. This OWC one works great though: th-cam.com/users/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbWJOWFI0b0RScjVTc0owZkdjYjJaMW1CS0lhUXxBQ3Jtc0ttc3oyLVY0Q3RhVUhwSk5GWngzT1N0a19XcUpPWGcxUTZaM3dsNmVzZW5TeGtFODFqNHd3UThPYUNZT2xocUQ1YUV5UjVkMEVZVEY3RWstVWdEVmR2eGFuLWxSaklvOXZSZldoYV8zWGtnd3RRYnhXZw&q=https%3A%2F%2Feshop.macsales.com%2Fshop%2Fexternal-drives%2FOWC%2FEnvoy-Pro-mini%3FDaffiliate%26Dtext%26Dcj&v=xb_sTrqS64M
This is what i need brother perfect. ❤❤❤❤
Glad to help!
So the phone doesn't overheat, that's important.
And fast enough SSD / hub!
Hey Stephen if I record in 4k 30 will the quality be good enough for video to put online for a training video instead of using the pro log?
Absolutely! Several of my videos are that, like my smart home tour
@@beardfm can I ask you another ? I am doing a self defense online training for mothers and there children and I will be doing videos showing techniques and I am worried about the wide angle to get us all in the video in my garage gym. Will the pro max 15 have enough wide angle as a web cam or would a good webcam be better for that type of videoing?? thanks again and happy new year
Nice job Stephen!
Thanks!
What’s are the dimensions on that hub? LxWxH and cable length?
Also will it write to ssd without external power?
4.4 x 1.9 x 0.6 inches ..
Would u be able to just download to Icloud?
Not sure what you mean? You can save it to the files app and it would upload to iCloud on your phone if that's what you're looking for.
I´m looking for an adapter which will enable the iPhone Pro Max to record on an SSD AND(!) while the DJI Mic records the sound. Possible with Your adapter?
Yes it works! I tested with several mics
Thanks!
Wow much appreciated!
Any chance this is possible with a hub that takes 2230 nvme drives? They are very small and don’t take too much space. I would like to try something like this so I could attach external microphones and have a minimal set up that is discreet and does not result to people watching you while filming.
I show an accessory for that here! th-cam.com/video/8l7oa0rrUts/w-d-xo.htmlsi=RQZAuQLkGHUlehw6
@@beardfm thanks! I have watched the video but so far there is no solution to add an external microphone. Lexar is having a kickstarter campaign for an ssd that attaches to a tiny media hub where you can connect microphones and this seems like the only solution so far.
So.. Finally, did the SSD work for you to record only if it was powered externally from a power source?
If you connected the type-c SSD directly to the iPhone (just that), it can't record? min 3:02
Did you turn on ProRes video quality? It only records to an external drive that way
I plugged in a USB drive directly and it ended up recording in pro res, however when I added a thunderbolt dock to the iphone, it did not recognize the same USB. Gonna try out my external SSD with enclosure to connect to the dock and give you an update
The ssd you have linked is a Gen 4 . I thought gen 4 are not compatible with iPhone 15 pro max? I bought the 2 TB and my phone doesn’t recognize it
I did have to connect it to my Mac, open Disk Utility, and format it as APFS
So the gen 4 was recognized ?
It was recognized and formatted on my Mac to apfs
I will do it again when I get back
Happy holidays
Will it work with the regular iPhone 15 Model? I dont want to record log or prores, I want to connect a hub, attache my rode wireless me mic and an hdmi out for monitoring
You can use the mic and HDMI out for monitoring with a regular 15 model, the only thing it's not capable of is recording directly to an external SSD
@@beardfm thank you so much for that! Much appreciated!
TQ. SUBSCRIBED!!
Im having issues with dropped frames as well with the USB-C hub from Belkin w/ 4 usbc ports. On the advertising it supposed to support 10gb/s on all ports no matter if one or multiple devices are connected. not sure why this is happening as speed shouldn't be an issue with the hub but it seems that is the only possible explanation. need a second opinion on this if anyone else has used this dock or know it has issues.
What SSD have you connected to the USB-C hub? Or does it have a built-in SSD
@@beardfm that would be a Samsung T7, tested the cable and drive by itself just to make sure it works properly without dropping frames which it does. So maybe I got a bad dock idk
@@half_full7687 This guy had the same issue with the Belkin and found just one of the ports seemed to work right th-cam.com/video/dvcSy_Xu9CI/w-d-xo.html
The main problem that I see with all the solutions that you can see around the web is the fact that the iphone looses it’s biggest quality… portability. With all that stuff attached the iphone is no longer something that you can take out of your pocket and film with it. So I rather just bring my camera with me (ZV-1 gen II).
Fascinating
It was an interesting experiment!
Made my own USB hub case that has HDMI out, Audio, USB-C Charging, and holds an SSD all at once: th-cam.com/video/B0M7ohr1d58/w-d-xo.html
Epic!! Nicely done
This is the second video I’m watching by you and you have to learn how to say things properly - to not confuse anyone. MB is Megabyte and Mb is Megabit. M.2 chip isn’t pronounced M2 chip. The period in the name isn’t silent. Otherwise what you said sounded like the usb-C dongle had an M2 chip that’s in many apple products. Please do your research if you’re not sure.
