iPhone 15 Pro - ProRes 422HQ to SSD Recording with a USB-C Extender Cable

I wanted to test minimal packaging configurations for recording ProRes on the iPhone 15 Pro. 

One idea is to have a shoulder bag and a long USB C extender to the iPhone. The SSD and hub will reside in a pocket or shoulder bag.

So as long as you get the proper length and proper high quality cable.  It seems to work.

I will test this out more soon!


I got a 2 feet USB-C extender cable from Amazon. (I tried a 1 meter UGREEN that failed to work)


This KXable cable seems to work.  https://a.co/d/8x0wR6g
