Does anyone record with their phone???

Even though my channel does not involve shooting video, I still wonder if any of you use your phones to film footage. I know that the gold standard is far from that, but I guess that not everyone can afford a proper camera from day one.

Do you use your phone for all your video or some of it?
If you use a cam, when did you get it? ( I mean in terms of channel size and time as a youtuber)

I want to hear your take on this topic

I shot most of my last vlog (the video below) on my phone, I think you'd have a hard time distinguishing between the shots that were with my camera and my phone, even from an audio perspective I was very impressed with the quality

when I don't have time to setup my tripod for a certain video, I'll use my phone. it does the job for me but this will depend on the type of content you want to put out.

Hey ALEA, yeh I use my iPhone to record with. Video quality is really good on apple stuff. One thing you must have (especially if using your phone) is good lighting for indoors filming. Anything less than a couple of soft boxes probably won't do. The microphone quality is not good enough though so I attach a better mic.

For years I used an Iphone for my smaller channels. I had no comments or complaints about quality.
I recently switched to a Samsung and the quality is not as good.
I did 'upgade' to a GoPro but the files were huge and editing took too long.

How do you use your rear camera and see the frame?

I've tried it. And I'll say it's handy. My most recent one was on my Samsung Note 8, and I had a universal Smart Phone mount for it. While I strongly prefer a Camera Camera (Like a Camcorder or a DSLR) I will say it comes in handy for Travel and Vlogs. I've been thinking about a two camera set up for the near future.

Yes, I have recorded with my iPhone plenty of times! One of my favorite things about it is that you can shoot super smooth slow motion at 120fps that is hard to do without an expensive camera.
