The Saudi desert riders – Shot on iPhone 11 Pro, GoPro Style
Apple’s new “shot on iphone” release is a film shot in the Saudi desert, depicting a Mad Max style scenario (minus the guns, tattoos and body piercing). The video, shot by Henrik Hansen, really shows off the iPhone 11 Pro’s potential as a “GoPro-Killer”.
In fact, the film is a mix of action and behind the scenes, with glimpses of how they mounted the iPhone 11 Pro to capture the action.
The film was captured in 4K using the iPhone 11 Pro.
In this shot we see what looks like some kind of suction car mount. If so, then that shows not only the light weight of the iPhone as a camera, but also the power of the suction car mount used…
There are some spectacular shots acquired. Desert buggies, bikes and quad bikes kicking up sand and flying through the air. And of course, a smartphone works just as well as a GoPro when it has a super-wide lens option.
The high shutter speed works well to capture clumps of sand spraying up into the air too.
