Here is my super minimalist magsafe external storage contraption that gives me 2TB external space to record into. Here are the ingredients:

Tiny External Drive:
2TB: amzn.to/3PsiOqu
1TB: amzn.to/46nmLni

MagSafe Sticker: (Remember what I said about the magnets)
What I used in the video: geni.us/MomentMagSafeSticker (Read below, I took this out later)
But then I ended up using this (it is much better): amzn.to/3t8aXa7 This is stronger and thicker, which gives a nice airflow between the phone and the ssd.

The cable I used: amzn.to/3PEteU6
There is also this one, it is faster: amzn.to/3Q0IhZy

    I'd like to mention couple of things - How long can you record? Watch this: www.youtube.com/shorts/KTsaGILYUCA - SSD is not affected by magnets, just like the storage in our phones. (HDD is affected by magnets) - While filming the SSD drive is not in the shot, cameras are moved on iPhone 15 Pro series compared to 14 and prior. - I ended up using this amzn.to/3t8aXa7 as the magnet on ssd, which is a lot stronger and thicker, but also it gives a nice space between the phone and the ssd for airflow. - You can transfer anything from your phone to the SSD, anything that gives you the option "save to files" - iPhone won't record raw photos to SSD but you can move them later on. - I haven't experienced any heat that may be an issue, but I haven't filmed for long periods of time. - The magnet sticker I used is strong enough to keep the drive on the phone, but if you like stronger, you may wanna check out the magsafe mount part of the magnet, however they're thick, so maybe the magnet from a wallet can be nice. - ProRes HQ are gigantic files because they're not compressed like H.265, which gives you great flexibility during edit (because almost nothing is baked into the footage) - I won't be saying heif in my videos. It is H.E.I.F (this one is for Apple :))

    This is the type of tech I like to see. How we should be innovative in using these gadgets is fun.
  • @kustoo
    Love this. Great job, sir!
  • @TheSmartWoodshop
    A friend and I were talking about this a few weeks ago. We also discussed picking up a small Magsafe wallet and slipping the SD drive into it. I think we are just minutes away from commercial products offering this option. Personally, I would prefer a Magsafe sleeve so I could put any small SSD in it.
  • @chris
    Loved this. Got my 15PM today and am digging it... but moreso loving videos like this. I MagSafe everything and have so many metal rings and magnets so that everything sticks to everything, everywhere. I love this and will definitely be copying. Thanks!
  • Can’t wait to see your full review. Nobody seems to do in depth and critical reviews the way you do.
  • @josephjoestar515
    Your videos are so amazing. I love DIY stuff like this. Looking forward to more of your iPhone 15 content!
  • @sidforreal
    you DIYed the thing that I was expecting other brands will comeup with soon.. This typec+magsafe gonna take accessories to new level
  • @stalman
    this looks so much classier than my rig did 😅
  • @paulaggarao
    That's why I love this channel. Always makes sense, and creative. Been a fan for so long. More power. Cheers.
  • i was literally just thinking about designing something like this to 3D print on my drive home. You are the man!
  • @pglazzari1
    You stoled my heart with that amazing invention. Great Job!
  • @jergophoto
    Great video! The great case debacle is always a tricky one. But this is why open bottom cases are my go to. No lip on bottom to catch your thumb on up or down swipes, and ALL cable and accessories fit.
  • @djalil_YT
    Good idea! Just be mindful of heat dissipation from both the back of the iPhone and the SSD. They can get hot when shooting/writing large video files.
  • @saulslowik395
    And, now I have a use for one of my old SSDs. Thank you for sharing this.
  • @aramistech
    Thank you for all your great videos, you’re so innovative and creative. Your videos are a breath of fresh air in a tech industry where everything said and shown is cookie cutter. I always learn something awesome from your videos. God bless.

    I love this so much!!!!❤ and only five minutes, chefs kiss
