Frequently Asked Questions

How do I record ProRes video externally from my iPhone?

Connect the module via MagSafe or 1/4"-20 mount, insert a CFexpress B or SD V90 card (formatted APFS/exFAT), and use an app like Blackmagic Camera to record ProRes directly to external media.

What media cards should I use?

Use CFexpress Type B or SD cards rated V90 with at least 220 MB/s sustained write speed to support 4K 60fps ProRes recording. Slower cards may limit quality or reliability.

Does the module require an external power supply?

No, the unit is USB bus-powered and draws power from the iPhone or compatible host during operation.

Is the device compatible with rugged filming environments?

Yes. The module is built with shock-resistant, industrial-grade materials and is tested to perform under extreme temperature and field conditions typical for professional productions.

Can I use this on a rigged camera setup?

You can mount with the 1/4"-20 thread and ARRI 3mm anti-twist pins for secure attachment to cages, arms, or other accessories in a modular rig.
