hi I'm Steve Smith with cc.com so in the
0:05
first part of our shoot like a pro video
0:07
I went head-to-head with Pro
0:08
photographer Sam Mills who was using a
0:10
professional DSLR whilst I was using my
0:12
iPhone 5S to see who could produce the
0:15
best
0:16
results last time I gave you some handy
0:18
tips to get the most out of your iPhone
0:20
camera and today I'm going to be showing
0:22
you the results of both cameras side by
0:24
side and what you can do to boost your
0:26
iPhone camera's functionality with both
0:27
some of the best products and apps
0:29
available
0:31
plus we've got a giveaway for you right
0:32
at the end of this video so make sure to
0:34
stick around let's get
0:37
[Music]
0:41
started if you're planning to use your
0:43
iPhone as your main camera whil on
0:45
holiday or at an event there's a few
0:47
useful products out there to help you
0:48
boost your iPhone to set your photos
0:50
apart from everyone else's first up is
0:53
the glyph from Studio neat a $30
0:55
adjustable tripod mount and stand for
0:57
your iPhone but it also works with most
0:59
of the smartphones thanks to its
1:01
adjustable arms it can hold a phone up
1:02
to 12.7 mm thick which covers most of
1:05
the smartphones on the market now as I
1:07
said in the last video there's nothing
1:08
worse than a shaky photo and with the
1:10
glyph you can attach it to any tripod
1:12
and slide your phone straight in it's
1:14
also a really useful stand so with iOS 8
1:16
and it updated timer option you can get
1:18
some pretty cool
1:19
[Music]
1:21
selfies next up is the mcam light from
1:23
action life media which has interested
1:25
me for a long long time as it's an
1:28
iPhone case which gives you the ability
1:30
to add lenses and microphones to your
1:31
iPhone making it the ideal companion for
1:34
using your iPhone for photography or
1:35
even
1:37
filming as it even comes with a
1:39
microphone that plugs into your
1:40
headphone jack as I mentioned in the
1:42
previous video that compared to using a
1:43
DSLR it's pretty hard to keep an iPhone
1:45
steady due to its slim design but with
1:47
the mcam it adds a little bit of needed
1:49
bulk and weight which really helps with
1:51
shooting photos and videos it comes
1:54
stock with a 37 mm wideangle lens which
1:56
allows you to shoot more of a scene in
1:58
one shot but this lens is is also a
2:00
macro lens which automatically switches
2:02
when you want to get close up to a
2:04
subject which is a really great addition
2:06
when shooting on the move as when we
2:08
were out and about someone have to take
2:10
a few minutes changing lenses whereas I
2:12
didn't need to stop for a single
2:15
second but you can also buy additional
2:18
adapters to attach more lights
2:20
microphones and even your own lenses to
2:22
the camera obviously the quality isn't
2:25
the same as DSLR as the internals of the
2:27
iPhone aren't being changed but adding
2:29
lens to your iPhone adds a lot of depth
2:31
to your shots and makes them stand out
2:33
from everyone
2:35
else's this is a great addition if
2:37
you're really into photography but I
2:39
wouldn't say it's for everyone but
2:41
nevertheless a great product with a
2:42
really impressive build quality check
2:44
out the website for more
2:47
information and last but definitely not
2:49
least it's a little bit of luxury but I
2:51
couldn't leave it out on the list it's
2:52
the swivel which we've covered the first
2:54
model of on the channel previously but
2:56
as you may have noticed the swivel isn't
2:57
necessarily used for photography it's
3:00
advertised is more of an educational
3:01
tool as the swivel can actually track
3:03
your movements as you walk about so you
3:05
can record yourself for meetings and
3:07
lessons but I think this is a really
3:09
great tool for any video bloggers who
3:10
need to track themselves whilst filming
3:12
it uses this handy remote control to
3:14
track your movements which also contains
3:16
a microphone to improve the audio of
3:17
your video As you move
3:20
around the swivel has a full 360° Pam
3:24
rotation which is surprisingly smooth to
3:26
track your movements you can get some
3:28
really nice shots just using the remote
3:30
and you know if you haven't got a
3:31
cameraman it's great for video bloggers
3:34
but my favorite trick that the swivel
3:35
has up its sleeves is that you can use
3:37
it for panoramas and time lapses with
3:39
the upcoming iOS 8 gaining that feature
3:41
let's take a look at some of the results
3:42
you can
3:44
[Music]
3:57
achieve it also comes with a companion
3:59
app where you can store your videos in
4:01
the cloud to not only free up space on
4:03
your eye device but to quickly share
4:05
your videos being able to store up to
4:07
200 minutes completely free so again as
4:10
I said it is a little bit of a luxury if
4:11
you're going to use it for photography
4:13
but this is something I keep finding
4:14
more and more uses for and maybe you
4:17
want to get your hands on one of these
4:18
so hang on to the end of this video and
4:20
I'll tell you how you can win one of
4:21
these $300 gadgets for yourself now for
4:24
the
4:25
apps I know most people love Instagram
4:28
for a quick fix but it's like working on
4:30
filters and controls even with its
4:31
latest update it's still basic at
4:34
best one of the best Alternatives is
4:37
rookie by jellybus Inc a free app with
4:40
inapp purchases it has a ton more
4:42
filters along with full control of
4:44
brightness contrast C and saturation
4:47
levels and much
4:49
more plus the filters within the app are
4:51
really impressive combining them with
4:53
the light leaks and textures giving you
4:55
a completely different look from your
4:57
original photos which is a great way to
4:59
edit on the move of course there's a ton
5:02
of great apps out there for editing your
5:04
photos and videos on iOS but rookie is
5:06
my current favorite overall looking at
5:09
my iPhone photos compared to the DSLR
5:11
shots with the tips and tricks that I've
5:13
shown you in these two videos you can
5:15
get some really impressive shots which
5:17
to the untrained eye probably wouldn't
5:19
believe that you took them on an iPhone
5:21
plus there's the benefits that your
5:23
iPhone will fit in your pocket and that
5:24
you've always got your iPhone on you yes
5:27
dslrs are and always will be needed but
5:30
the iPhone is a great backup camera
5:32
saving you the hassle of carrying around
5:34
a heavy backpack full of gear when you
5:36
can just have your phone to take
5:37
stunning
5:39
