My iPhone Rig for Upcoming Shoot
So there's a 48-hour Film Festival coming up that we've decided to attend. To add a unique "indie angle" to the whole project we decided to shoot it using an iPhone. Need support, some attachments and a way of getting audio into the iPhone. I've done my research and come up with this...
Things I used: Spider Brace Small Bracket (from a window blinds kit) Macally mClip Mini-AV cable RCA to XLR Hot Glue and a screw Additional: Hoodman H400 for outside shoots (tough to work with touch screen) For the audio credit I found this link. I have to say it does work and I was able to get my field mixer to feed mono into my iphone. Monitoring audio on the iphone I was able to hear the audio "mono" on playback. macosxhints.com - Use an external microphone with the iPhone Quick reference to audio in case you don't click the link. White/Black: Audio out (L) Yellow: Audio Out (R) Red: Mic level input All are mono Later I mounted a shoe mount on the underside of the Spider Brace for a light or super-directional microphone. Overall very pleased and my colleagues are very excited about getting to use this rig. My next rig will be an attachment to my Flycam 5000 (Steadicam, Glidecam) In the field we will be editing onsite importing the footage into FCP to insure that audio and sequence of shots is adequate. Hope this helps give others ideas out there as to what's possible with your iPhone... What's amazing is you can now take your phone out of your pocket and start to make movies... |
