The problem with many film production cameras available on the market today is they tend to break the budget for many independent filmmakers.
There is good news for those video producers that are looking for an alternative film production camera and it’s called your smartphone.
That’s right, today’s smartphones shoot amazing 4K quality video production footage. They are real competition for some of the best selling filmmaking cameras out there on the market.
This post is for film producers looking for a cheaper alternative to a video production camera, and what phones are the best for video and film production.
With the advancement in smartphone camera technology, the huge amount of storage space available, fast processing speeds, and video production apps to help you along the way, it’s no wonder why video producers are choosing a smartphone for his/her next film project.
Are you thinking about using a smartphone for your next film project? I will break down what the best 4k video phones are, so you can start your video marketing cheaper than you ever thought possible.
Smartphones are not just for making phone calls. They are powerful palm-sized computers that also take amazing 4k videos.

With so many great smartphones available on the market that can produce incredible video footage, it can be difficult to choose the right one for you.
Below are reviews of the best smartphones for film production chosen by my filmmaking colleagues shooting short-films while stuck in self-isolation.
Since the Apple iPhone 7, video producers were given the ability to shoot features with, as long as you had conversion lenses attached to the smartphone.

It features the powerful A14 Bionic chip, 5G to download and stream high-quality video marketing, a bright 6.7″ Super Retina XDR display, and Ceramic Shield for better drop performance.
Apple‘s new LiDAR scanner improves autofocus in low light conditions and offers night mode for portrait photos.
Apple Pro RAW is a film production dream because it will give you full creative control over colour, detail, and dynamic range on the iPhone or with a third party app.
It has an extended dynamic range for video production up to 30fps and cinematic video stabilization for video marketing in 4K, 1080p, and 720p.

The Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max features a 12mp 26mm f1.8 wide-angle, a 52mm f2.8 2x telephoto. A super-wide 13mm f2.4 lens, so loyal filmmakers to the Apple eco-system are now rejoicing in the fact that they now have an amazing filmmaking smartphone.
