hey everyone welcome to green light so today we're unboxing my beast grip pro um this is
my grease beast grip pro uh for for my iphone and basically turning it into a dslr camera and
adding lenses on it so stay tuned and we're going to get through that right now and talk about all
that in this video as well as multiple different videos of adding everything in all the way up to
hopefully a third video where we can put all the equipment together so let's get started right now
all right as you can see here this is um a gif that i've got here for from uh
bscrip pro and they're adding actually a rokinon cine lens to um their
mk2 i believe it's called it's a dof adapter and we're going to get into that as well because i
also have a dof adapter which is a depth of field adapter so you can get it up really close to the
lens of your iphone i have an iphone 7 here and i will be upgrading it to an ipo and an apple iphone
x which is the iphone 10 uh so i can shoot in 60 frames so let me get myself up on here all right
so uh happy holidays to you as you can see um right over here i have a hat a christmas hat
over my instagram uh check that out check out my instagram we do a lot of blu-ray um unboxings
uh blu-ray release videos that i do every week on tuesday about blu-ray releases and
what kind of special features to expect on those blu-rays so with all that being said
i also do unboxings just like this one where i do um movie um uh well i i do uh a filmmaking uh
equipment filmmaking tips and stuff like that uh filmmaking um boxings i did one from the
for the rode um wireless go mics i've done it for two different uh rogue road uh wireless
go mics and i did it all in one video so you can check that out um on here on this
channel and i'm gonna be linking a bunch of the other videos after this with this video
coinciding most likely they'll all be you know in a in a playlist together um i already had like
uh opened it a little bit because i wanted to make sure it had something um that it came
with something here so i kind of like ripped it a little bit as you can see there um but that's okay
uh i didn't really rip it but i mean i i took off the the tape a little bit but let's uh push
it out and let's get this going all right so what this thing is for um and it's really really cool
um is uh this is for smartphone uh filmmaking um so if you're a low budget filmmaker micro budget
filmmaker kind of like myself as well and you want to keep up with not only the resolution but um
just quality in general for your videos and or films including when it comes to uh youtube videos
and stuff like that this thing here was used in um uh in a couple movies um this was also used in uh
i think it was a unseen unsane insane uh for with an iphone uh iphone uh seven plus which is what i
have now and then they shot a high flying bird it was steven soderbergh who shot all all these
two well these two films um with uh uh the beast grip pro so with the beast grip pro he shot those
movies including high flying bird but high flying bird was on iphone 8 plus um so he kept upgrading
it uh he came up with a movie this year but it was shot on um the red komodo so uh shout outs to the
red komodo for that um so this is uh the beast grip this is a little box here that comes with a
bunch of little accessories and everything oh look this is one of the accessories i forgot to put in
in the back in the box here when i went to check it so what i wanted to check when i flipped it was
to make sure i had this thing and then i looked at the accessories and everything and i think it
comes with um this adapter uh that comes in here where i can add on my dof whoops backwards my dof
adapter yulonzi uf adapter so stay tuned about that at the end of this video i'm going to let
you know that i'm going to end up doing a video after this one anyways uh recording it separately
just for the the yulonsy dof adapter so as you can see here this is the cage and this is what it is
when it comes to a cinema filmmaking you want to have a camera rig and a cage for your camera
so you can add things so you can see there you can screw on stuff um another monitor batteries
um when it comes to these lenses and everything like that i can get um a matte box put the matte
box in front and i'll be able to excuse excuse me sorry been having some coffee
got me a little gassy with the burping over here so sorry about that um
but basically with um with the matte box and everything you can put filters
and all that and with these lenses that i already have from my canon canon 60d and i shot
my first feature film all on that and in those lenses as well i also found um an old pantex
k1000 camera with a 50 millimeter vintage lens which i can actually um adapted into
the yulonzi eos dof adapter which is an ef mount which is different because a
lot of these youtube videos are you going to find here about the yulonzi dof adapter
i don't haven't noticed any of them that has the ef um mount um with it like they will have to like
get a separate adapter to the adapter which is something i didn't want to do i wanted more of
a direct line to the lens so there's less breakups in between if you understand what i mean by that
you want to have the the best raw footages you can and um going back on this little hole
because i haven't seen anybody mention it um it doesn't look like it's like um i don't see it
as i think it's a screw yeah it's a screw on oh good thank god for that it's a screw on
in here and basically this will line up right under um which is cool actually i have that
here and i'm going to include it in this video as well i uh bought um a cage not a cage um a rail
system as well this is a newer um from the newer company and i'll link it on the description below
you can find everything in the description below i'll link everything all the amazon links in there
none of them are affiliate links so i'm not making anything on it but i do appreciate it if you
hit the like and subscribe button so you can get more videos like this learning about filmmaking
micro budget filmmaking and stuff like that um as well as uh movie stuff uh fan movie stuff and all
so um this is upside down let's get this here all right so i do have uh this pamphlet thing here it
says newer for customer service all right so very very cool so this um the actual beast grip pro is
like a hundred forty dollars right now but i paid a hundred dollars around black friday uh or so um
so that uh i can get that including with the dof adapter that cost me 140 but i will get into that
in the next video and then i i bought um then it went up um it went up after black friday so
both of them did it went up a price so beast grip was 100 for black friday and then it went
up to 139.99 or something this here is like 21.99 or something on amazon as well so as you
can see here i can like add this here um let's go well this is not for that this is the real
all right this down here
let's try this out so you see this is a pin that goes right in the middle for most cameras
ooh it is a screw on oh thank god for that
this is why i opened it before i wanted to make sure by the time i did this video it's
doing exactly what i wanted it to do um all right so it's a little a little snug there
that's good enough there's no camera on it just yet uh well no phone on it just yet um
yeah do i want it like this yeah i guess this is the way to go
because i guess i could do it the other way around and then um what else do i have
this part backwards
i gotta have it set down leveled here
all right so
it's this thing that's in the middle here
i don't know i believe it was supposed to retract too uh i wanted it to like slide in
i'm just not like getting the groove i don't want to like snap it or anything weird or
like strip it you know like when you strip a nut or something you don't want to strip it
oh here we go so what's the great thing about this video now is that you'll be able to see what
i'm doing here i have to do that and then um and then you tighten the end over here
all right very cool this is exactly what i wanted look at that so right down the barrel
so you can see me and my eyeball so basically um i can put my phone here and then it'll go
down the barrel i could put lenses on it and uh put the the yulonzi adapter
in here and stuff like that and then have the stages i have ordered um a piece that goes in
between um both of them because the the the circle uh is is not the same it's it's like
37 millimeter right over here um and i had to change it into a 17 millimeter which is what
the end of the yulonzi is which is different than the than the mk2 i believe it's called
by b script b script made um their own dof adapter as well it's a lot more expensive
but their little circle in the middle is a lot bigger i like this one it's a lot smaller since
these iphones are a lot smaller and everything like that but with all that being said um in all
these videos that i'm going to be doing with the smartphone stuff i'm going to be going through
a lot of cool technical stuff so let's go through these little um what's in here what comes in here
so i can show you what i was talking about earlier so this is what i was talking about earlier
which is like a plate it looks like it looks like it makes it smaller
so i can add um the yulonzi thing but i did order i did order a piece um which was like
nine dollars on on amazon so i'm expecting that between january and february according to amazon
a lot of stuff so a lot of really cool little like um things here um so you got some screws and uh
uh sorry just checking my email uh real quick because i got an email and
then there's um oh look you could put one of these little plates on here this is perfect
and you can put it on top of the camera and then you can add like um uh the the rode um
uh wireless mic system you can add and clip it in here something like that uh which you've seen if
you've seen my videos before you can go ahead and check that out right now on the channel as well
um and i'll include that in the smartphone um filmmaking playlist that i'm gonna create with
this video so expect that so all this is included in here in this box and if you wanna see more
