The Office and Practicality

I've been spending some time at the office lately, and I have to say that there's one thing that really gets my goat - the microwave with the popcorn smell. I like stuff that's practical, useful, and something new and exciting. That's why I'm excited to share with you a product that checks all those boxes: the Heats box.

This product is called an iPhone case, specifically designed for the iPhone 15 Pro Max. It's a rugged and easy-to-use design that features little tabs on the sides that can be cinched down to close it up tightly. I was surprised to see how well-designed it is, and I think it's exactly what I needed for my phone.

What really caught my attention, though, was when the person mentioned that they have a few other products from this company that they use regularly. They also showed off an iPhone cage that allows you to slide your iPhone into place, which is perfect for shooting with Final Cut Pro. The cage features threads on the front that can be used to attach additional accessories.

One of these accessories is a macro lens called the 105mm lens from a company called Newer. This lens lets you screw it onto the iPhone case and take ridiculous macro photos and videos. What I love about this lens is that it allows you to stay farther away from your subject, which means you can get those really sharp up-close details without blocking all the light. The result is some crystal-clear footage with beautiful depth of field.

The person showed off some sample footage taken using this lens, and I have to say, my jaw dropped a little bit. The image quality is stunning, and it's definitely something that will help you get noticed when it comes to marketing products online. Whether you're an inspiring filmmaker or just someone who needs to create high-quality close-ups for their product, this lens is a must-have.

What I also want to mention is that the person has several different iPhone cases from various companies, but they chose to show off this one today because it's really affordable compared to other options. They mentioned that it's linked up below, so you can check it out for yourself.

Last but not least, the person wanted to share with us their latest product, which is an audio interface called the Connect 6 from a company called Levit. This product is designed for podcasters and musicians who want to record high-quality audio on-the-go. The interface features multiple XLR microphones that can be plugged in, as well as a few cables to connect it to your iPhone.

One of the things I love about this product is its portability. It's small enough to fit in a plane bag or take with you on a desk, and it doesn't take up much space at all. The best part? You can record some ridiculously nice sounding audio without needing a Mac or an iPad. This makes it perfect for podcasters who want to travel light but still get high-quality recordings.

As someone who's been following the Apple ecosystem for a while, I have to say that this product is exactly what sets us apart from other phone manufacturers. There's just so much support for third-party accessories, and products like this one are a great example of that. Whether you're a podcaster, musician, or simply someone who wants to create high-quality content, this audio interface is a must-have.

In conclusion, I want to remind you to pre-order my iPhone course, where we'll be showcasing some cool accessories like this and how to get the most out of them. We'll also have other courses that you're going to love, including one on Apple's free-form app, another on starting a successful side hustle, and finally, a premier course on learning to be productive in the Apple ecosystem.

And if that's not enough, I've got a new interview series called "Side Seen" with some of the faces you know and love. Each week, we'll be featuring an inspiring story from someone who's been in the industry for years. Be sure to check it out linked up below.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey it's Chris and I've got my hands on some amazing iPhone accessories some of these I've been waiting to check out for a long time but a few quick announcements if you need some new wallpapers all the wallpapers in my store are on sale for $5 hundreds of files 90% off Linked UP below also if you haven't pre-ordered the new course Now's the Time to do it it's called Pro iPhone video Essentials and it will teach you how to go from shooting out of the box iPhone footage that really doesn't look great like this any shots it can go toe to- Toe with any Cinema Camera like you're seeing now today's video was shot using nothing but iPhones that's linked up down below too now the iPhone's great for productivity you can actually get a lot done but look when I go to type a note here look how much of the screen is taken up by this pesky onscreen keyboard in all seriousness that's a lot of wasted space and that is where this very interesting phone case from clicks comes in because it helps you maximize your screen real estate while still letting you type with real physical keys and as you can see it's not tiny it does take up some space but the good news is it's easy on easy off and I got to tell you it is kind of bizarre to use like here I am typing something okay this is cool I know this thing's a little bit bizarre head down to the comments let me know what you think but there honestly is something about using a physical keyboard that's just satisfying and I know exactly what you're thinking kind of reminds you of blackberry from back in the day right there's a few things I really like about it one of them is just Siri access and so I can come in and start dictating right here I can hold this down for Siri or I can just tap at once if I want to start dictating I get some nice feedback that I can still feel from the haptics and the phone and there is a button down at the bottom that will let you access that onscreen keyboard if you want to there's a Tab Key there's a shift key of course there's pass through charging if you want to be able to charge while you're using it it's not technically mag safe compatible although a lot of Mag safe accessories do work here or you can add an external mag safe sticker there's also a little bit of grip on the bottom let me see if I can get this to pick up on the mic if you just hear the keys there's something satisfying about it I mean it does take some time to get used to this you know you're not going to pick it up right away I like if I hit the number key and then a number it just types out the numbers now this cost $139 you really got to want one right but it's got some amazing features it has a backlight you can use it at night you can still wirelessly charge it's built in such a way that you don't have to feel stuck with it right if you want to just take that and leave it because it's not hard to get on or off you can use it if you want or you can put it away for later the setup is dead simple I didn't even have to pair it or anything I just plugged it into the port on the bottom and I was Off to the Races now I view my job here as showcasing interesting products letting you know about them in case you want to use them do I personally think that this is something that I'm going to end up using I mean so far the answer is probably honestly no it's probably not for me personally that said is this an amazing product for the right person I would say definitely and here's how you know if it's for you right if your content first you want to maximize that screen real estate then this is the accessory for you all right this is the next accessory I want to share with you it's an AI module that has Vision that's little camera and a button and some connectors all right so this is a phone gimbal is from a company called xun I don't know if I'm pronouncing that right or not let me know in the comments gimbals have of course been around for a long time to stabilize your footage make it look nice and smooth you can see it's kind of like a bird's head there just keeping things nice and smooth so this is an AI module that I can snap on top of this xun crane here and I'll try to demo this for you I can use a hand signal to have it start following me and it becomes a robotic cameraman as I move around it will actually track me and keep me in the frame which is really cool and I'm actually using Final Cut camera right now I'm not even using a proprietary app so here it is actually following me around the studio doesn't matter where I go it's going to keep track of me if I want to stop the tracking I can just hold up a stop sign for it and then again if I want to start it again I can just tell it go for it now I've actually got it mounted on its tripod mount there but I can mount this to anything truly what this enables is pretty mind-blowing if you want to shoot some really smooth looking iPhone video well Apple actually some built-in tools that do a pretty good job on their own of course there are some things that Apple's tools don't allow for you can see that stabilization in action here and one of the main limitations is not being able to shoot you in an action sequence so I'll actually tell you more about this when I show you my ultimate iPhone Studio setup which is going to be coming up later this month but for now just know that I really love this little AI module here it comes in so handy now today's video happens to be sponsored by ESR and they've got a brand new wallet here that has some smarts so pairs perfectly with your iPhone if you never want to lose your wallet again this wallet integrates Apple's find my network so you can see right where I'm tapping that's where you charge this wallet that's right a chargeable wallet and what I love aside from the easy setup because the setup is super easy the pairing I love all the space that you get here because one of the main knocks that I have against mag safe wallets is that they just don't fit hardly anything a few cards maybe you can stick a 20 in there for those times when you need cash but what about things like your membership cards or your driver's license here's a product that actually holds all of that stuff but isn't just a dumb old-fashioned wallet either this is actually a pretty cool charger too it's magnetic so it connects with a nice satisfying snap and get this it's got a built-in speaker so if it falls down in between the seat in your car or couch you can ping it right out of the app and it will audibly alert you you can tell this would fit right in with your everyday carry it's really high quality nice material here tough and it actually comes in several different colors as well I feel like everything a trade-off the mag safe wallets are great but they're limited yes this is going to take up more pocket space but if you need to bring more with you when you head out at least now there's a way to make sure that you don't lose it all right next up I got something super unique for you you're not going to believe this but this is a lunchbox that you can control with an app now I'm thinking back to the days when I had a job where I would go into the office and often times I would eat right there in my office without something like this your options are limited or your food's a little bit less enjoyable but here you have a smart lunchbox that actually fits a lot of stuff comes with this divider so you don't have stuff mushing together and keeps your food not just heated but it Heats everything evenly you got this little Basin that comes out so you can wash it real easily and it fits quite a bit it could easily hold a whole chicken breast but I tried sticking a steak in here with some Brussels on the side which by the way I used to hate Brussels but then I learned how to cook them and wow they're really good but there's customizable temperature settings it's a longlasting battery for multiple uses I mean it's not the lightest thing in the world it's not but that's to be expected cuz it's got a battery and it Heats your food but what it really is is convenient I mean let's say you're going on a road trip and you're going to be gone for a while or you're going out to the outdoors right and you want to take this with you it's not just for lunch when you're stuck in the office and you don't want to mess with the microwave with the popcorn smell I like stuff that's practical that's useful that I've never seen before and this Heats box go which is what it's called is all of that nice and rugged too you can see it's real easy to close back up it's got these little tabs here that you just cinch down on the sides I didn't think I'd be covering this on the channel but this is something that I requested to check out because it's just that brilliant and unique honestly all right the next thing I want to share with you is not this but it has to do with this this is an iPhone cage and it lets me slide my iPhone 15 Pro Max right in here and shut this click that into place and now I've got a really great iPhone rig for doing some serious shooting with Final Cut camera by the way this

because like I said it's Crystal Clear but also you're noticing that depth of field that blur in the background get some bokeh going on because that does not look like iPhone footage but it is now that sample footage is shot 4K 60 in Final Cut camera it's log footage so you can go in and really color grade it to your heart's content and I don't care if you're in inspiring filmmaker or if you're just a person who needs to Market their product online and you're looking for a way to get some closeups that are going to amaz people with the beautiful details of a product then yeah I would say a
