  • I love that you mentioned Gareth Edwards, he is one of my inspirations as to why I keep pushing forward in my career
  • @ellienet
    A year late here, but really appreciate the video! Have been back time and time again. Have been exploring the capabilities of my iPhone rather than splurging on a camera as I move into filming the keyboards I build, so you've been an absolute lifesaver. Fantastic presentation, from info, to sound, to edits. Thanks a bunch!
  • Even when talking about things I may never use you find a way to make it super interesting. Good job!
  • @Sturnlove
    Yes! Great job! Love your lessons!! Going row now to play with the wide and tele lenses of the iPhone to see how much of a SDOF effect I can get for instructional and social media posts.
  • In my Huawei mate20 pro I go to "aperture" and have 0.95-16 aperture which works quite well. Thanks for your always so well done videos and your calming voice!
  • @mrkok981
    Such a useful video, I’m thankful for your work and patience, sir
  • @Mraz75
    Thank you sir, really helpful and give me a good insight, especially on the adapter.really amazing.
  • @ulanzi
    Hi Mobile Motion, really appreiciate your review of our products, great job!
  • @BlindedBraille
    I really hope as time goes on smartphone manufacturers (Samsung, Apple, etc.) find a way to let users control their aperture. They place so much focus (pun not intended) on the cameras but even offer pro features.
  • @BhaaskarDesai
    Great video (as always) on a much awaited subject. Though I personally feel that if I need a specific effect and a desired output, I will certainly be using instruments that are dedicated for that specific cause, like Dslr's or professional movie cameras for that matter. Smartphones have come a long way and there will certainly be more advanced functions and possibilities in the coming years. But at least for right now, as far as smartphones are concerned, we have to compromise certain things and use them to the best of their abilities. We cannot always get everything from a single device, unless the coming technological advances brings us to a point where everything we need comes in one single bundle of joy. :)
  • I am a Filipino and I've learned a lot from your contents.. I hope someday i will be a successful video Creator
  • @bobgreene2892
    Many viewers hear from you about smartphone photography for the first time. To your credit, you do not devote this segment to iPhone, only, but to the general smartphone. We especially like the links you provide to Ulanzi, since budget is still an issue in this market. Also helpful are the software applications you mention which help introduce soft-fogus/depth-of-field "adjustment", if not at the level of a depth-of-field adapter. * We have a Samsung Galaxy J3 Orbit, an older phone but with lens typical of most smartphones. Does anyone make a DOF adapter? What sort of lenses are available (understanding that device communication between body and lens is not usually possible)
  • I would love to see more footage with the Ulanzi dof adapter. And hear if you think it’s worth buying😊
  • Please, lets have a full DOF adapter review! Like an hour long! I could listen forever!😂
  • @sousahugo1000
    Another great video . Congrats. Can you make a video talking about node video app ? It's available on play store .
