Interesting new dock for the up and coming iPhone 17 Pro which allows many video features like SDI and HDMI the downside is the need for an external power source.

If you remember the Panasonic GH4 had an adapter called the YAGH which also needed an external power source.

At the time is was a fantastic addition for the Panasonic GH4 but in use became very cumbersome with the external power supply.

The new dock from BlackMagic will be priced around £230 initially from your local Apple Store and work alongside the fantastic free iPhone Blackmagic design camera app, the only camera app to date to allow you to hold your iPhone in its natural position and produce a 16:9 landscape without having to turn your iPhone on its side.
