The video is so good I watched it to the end despite not even having iPhone nor having any plans to have it or shoot videos. Packed and succinct. But makes me wonder how soon we would see an... SSD iPhone cases? Because you can always duct tape the external drive to the phone but it would block the screen. *grin* Sure, you can use double sided tape, but... And slightly tangential - how short and compact USB-C cable can be? Sure there are tons of the angled on the market, but I assume they aren't guaranteed to give you full 10gbps Gen2 speeds.

I think that would be not a short cable, but more like Mophie juice pack (it’s a case with external battery). Also, back in the days I bought a card reader for an iPad 3, for 30 pins connector. Could be something similar, as SD-cards are quite big these days as well.

  I’d assume that SD cards don’t provide the required write speed, limited by their flash memory or even the interface specs.

  > more like Mophie juice pack (it’s a case with external battery). >> SSD iPhone cases But yeah, this is what I vaguely had in mind though I did forgot those rigid cases even existed, because my phones lasts at least two days on their own finger guns. Considering the case would be quite fat and rigid for the SSD alone, it would make sense to skip cable shenanigans and just use a 'dock style' connector.

I'm thinking a hand-held mini Steadicam with a hard disk as the counterweight.

> Sure, you can use double sided tape, but... You got it wrong. Camera people LOVE the tapes, look at any picture of a movie shooting behind the scenes and you'll see every camera has 4-5 pink/yellow/green sticky notes on it. So taping an SSD to your iPhone while shooting a movie it's actually a cool thing. Makes you look authentic "don't give a shit" kind of thing.
