 Wroclaw! Hey everyone, what's going on and welcome back to another video? So we finally arrived here in Wroclaw. I think it's called the Wroclaw. I used to say Wroclaw, but I think that's not correct, which is on the west side of Poland. Our flight went pretty well. It's a bit rainy outside as you can see and the whole week is gonna be like that, but we are super excited to be here. I left most of my camera gear at home and just brought my go-to vlogging setup with me because in today's video I would like to show you how to vlog with an iPhone, particularly with the iPhone 11 Pro Max. It's much more travel-friendly than using something like a DSLR and you really don't need expensive camera gear to get started. While I take you with me on this trip, we're going to have a lot of fun. I'm gonna show you my go-to vlogging setup, the camera setting I use to capture high-quality video, and 10 tips to get started with vlogging. There will be a timestamp below if you want to skip or go back to a particular part of the video. So what are you waiting for? Let's discover Wroclaw, sorry. So before we get back to the vlogging video, let me show you my go-to camera setup for vlogging. Where's the fucking dead cat? There it went. So this is the whole vlogging setup I used for my trip and starting from the top we have the Rode Video Micro with the dead cat or the windshield on it. I have it attached to the Ulanzi phone mount, which also holds my iPhone 11 Pro Max. The cable I'm using is the SC7. You have to additionally buy this to make it compatible and you have to have this cable. Otherwise, the phone won't detect the microphone. What you also have to additionally buy is this Lightning 2 3.5 millimeter headphone jack, which you then are able to plug in to your iPhone. Now I also have a case for the iPhone 11 Pro Max. It's called the Light Chaser Pro Filmmaking Kit. The reason why I bought this is because I can attach an ND filter to it. This way I can maintain that shutter speed of 1 over 50 to get that natural motion blur. Below I have a mini tripod from Manfrotto. This really helps getting stable footage. Now, the reason why I mounted it this way so that the camera is upside down is because so that I don't have the windshield in the frame. And what I also additionally got, this is called the I Expand Flash Drive from Sandisk. I brought this with me so that I can back up all of my footage in case my storage is full. So this is a really useful feature. I can just plug it in and transfer all of the footage onto this stick. So let's get back to the vlogging video. We're now heading to our next event, which is Axed Pro-E. So let's look at our camera settings. I use Filmic Pro to record all of my videos. Filmic Pro is a professional video application app that allows me to have full control over my camera. So the first thing I do when I open up Filmic Pro is I change my camera from wide angle to ultra wide. This gives me a super wide perspective and is perfect for vlogging since I want myself in the frame and not cut out. The resolution I'm using is 4K, which has more detail. And the encoding rate is Filmic Extreme, which captures more information and therefore gives you a better video quality. As for the frame rate, I'm using 25 frames per second. If I want to shoot b-roll, I switch over to 60 frames per second to get that slow motion effect. As for the ISO, I lock it at its lowest because that way I can avoid noise in my image. So my shutter speed is set double the frame rate, which is 1 over 50. I make sure to lock my shutter speed so that I can just adjust the ISO when I have to. Very important, lock your white balance, that way you will avoid color shifts in your video. As for my picture profile, I use flat so that I have more options when color grading. But if you want to be quick and don't want to spend time on color grading, you can also use the dynamic picture profile. The audio I set to my external mic and I make sure that I adjust the levels so that it doesn't peak. All right, so these are my camera settings for getting the best out of my video. No drawing. Lucky I didn't bring one with me. You must keep the green path. There will be junction of the yellow one. Don't go yellow. So enjoy. Thank you. You've got my number. Yes. So 10 fast 1pm the latest time you should show up on the path. Super beautiful out here. Look at this lake. Look at the rocks and the forest. And I think we're the only one here out so far. So it's going to be a nice hiking tour for us. Protein brownies. So while we're on this trip, I would like to give you 10 tips on how to start vlogging with your iPhone. And the first tip is to fully charge your phone, which is quite simple and obvious. And what I like to do is bring my power bank with me, which I carry in this small bag, in case I need to recharge my phone. And that has helped me a lot, even though I'm using the iPhone 11 Pro Max, which lasts me almost the whole day to film, you never really know. So keep that in mind. So the next tip I have for you is to have enough storage in your phone. So make sure to delete unnecessary pictures or videos that you don't need to free up space. But what you also can do is record in a smaller file size. And another thing you could do is use like a stick that you can plug into your phone and then transfer the files to that stick and delete it off your phone. Hey, you smile. Tip number three is to use a tripod or a gimbal. Having this three point contact will allow you to have less shake your footage. So tip number four is to think about lighting. So when it's bright outside, I like using an ND filter to reduce the light hitting the sensor. And this way I can maintain my shutter speed of one over 50 of a second to get that natural motion blur. Also what I do is lock my exposure before I start recording so that I avoid exposure changes during filming. Tip number five is to use a microphone. Now the microphones on the iPhones capture all the ambient noise and you don't want that. You want to use a shotgun mic, which is more directional to have your voice be more present in the video. So I'm currently on top of a church and it's quite windy outside. And the microphone I'm using is the Rode Video Micro, which I plugged into my iPhone. I have a windshield mounted on it and the audio should be pretty good. And this is how it sounds like using just the built-in microphone on the iPhone 11 Pro Max. You'll probably hear more wind noise and the audio. It's probably not as good as using an external microphone. Now filming a vlog is one thing. The other thing would be editing it together to create your story. So I suggest you learn a video editing application. I personally like to use InShot. It's a free app that you can download for iOS or Android. And it's pretty advanced for what you can do. And if you're on the go, that's perfect because you can just edit it on your phone. Now for more complex videos, I use my iMac Pro at home. But for simple edits, like a vlog or so, this could be really useful. I actually have a dedicated video on that, which is called How to Film and Edit with your iPhone, which I will link up here somewhere. So what advice do you have for people that want to start vlogging? Just take it easy, no stress, and talk to the camera like it's a friend. That's actually a pretty good advice. So tip number seven is to film B-roll. This really enhances your story and just makes it more engaging. What I like to do is film in 4k 60 frames per second to get that nice slow motion I can put on top of my A-roll. So tip number nine is also to add time lapses to your video. This is also a great way for B-roll and shows the passage of time. And if you have a tripod, you can just set it up on any flat surface and start recording. On the iPhone, you can just set it to time lapse mode and just press record and it will do the work for you. Oh God, I'm dying. Damn, that was tight. So my last tip is just start. At first it can be intimidating, but the more you do it, the comfortable you get with it. And when I do this, nobody even cares. They look at me, but life goes on. So just do it and think about what you want to say to the camera or to your audience and really just be yourself. And if you mess up, don't worry, you can edit things out. I mess up all the time. And if you struggle with vlogging, maybe start in places where there's nobody around where you can just talk to the camera and be open. And that helped me a lot at first. So yeah, these were my 10 tips. I'm going to head back now to our tour guide. It's probably waiting for us. We have still a long way to go. We're actually going to shoot, not with my camera, but with real weapons. Really easy weapons. It's only noisy. And tell me how was it? Easy or not? Is that easy? Not bad, yeah? Good reason to wear the brown trousers. Try to make hot, okay? I got bad news, but you'll miss everything. No way, seriously? Rambo, shit happened. Oh, shit. Oh, my god. You don't need or you don't want it. No, no, I won't. Reload it. No. Reload it. Ach so schreise. It's enough. All right, guys, that was it for today's tutorial. Overall, despite the bad weather, our stay in Vroslav was an awesome experience. One of the great things about vlogging is that you can share your story through video with the world and rewatch it to bring up old memories. I hope this video gave you an idea on how to start vlogging using something simple as an iPhone and a couple of accessories to get the most out of your videos. So let me know what you think of this vlogging setup. Leave a like if you enjoyed this and subscribe to his channel. We're gonna enjoy the rest of the day and I will see you in the next video, guys. Peace. Bye.
