K&F Concept Magnetic Phone Filter Mount + ND2–32 Filter (67mm Threaded) This is what I use to get that smooth, cinematic 24fps look on iPhone. It lets me control harsh daylight so I can keep natural motion blur instead of that choppy, over-sharp video. It snaps on in seconds and just works, which is exactly what I want when I’m shooting quickly.
SmallRig Dual Magnetic Phone Tripod This is what lets me shoot on my phone in pretty much any situation. The MagSafe connection means no awkward clamping or accidentally pressing buttons, and I can quickly mount it to a tripod or hold it handheld. Simple, solid, and really flexible when I’m moving fast.
DJI Mic Mini This is what I use for all my videos. It’s tiny, easy to set up, and the audio just sounds clean straight away. I don’t have to think about it, which means I can focus on shooting, whether I’m at home or out on the street.
Blackmagic Camera App The must-have camera app for your iPhone to shoot cinematic video
NEEWER 65cm Parabolic Softbox (Bowens Mount) This is the soft, clean softbox I use for all my talking head videos. It gives me a natural, even look without harsh shadows, and sets up quickly so I’m not overthinking lighting. Simple, consistent, and does the job every time.
Godox SL60II-D LED Video Light This is my main key light for all my videos. It gives a clean, natural daylight look and pairs perfectly with my softbox for soft, even lighting. It’s reliable, easy to control, and just works every time I switch it on.

I create DaVinci Resolve tutorials, iPhone filmmaking guides, and digital products for independent video creators. My work focuses on making professional editing workflows accessible without expensive gear or a studio setup.

There are four products available on Gumroad. The Safe Zones Plugin (£5) adds broadcast-safe overlay guides directly into DaVinci Resolve. The 5 Node Super Grade is a colour grading node tree for Resolve. The 3-LUT Stylised Pack (£9) gives you three creative looks for iPhone LOG footage. There is also a free LUT download available. No payment needed, just a sign-up.

Three tools for grading and finishing Apple Log iPhone footage in DaVinci Resolve:

• 5 Node SuperGrade: a 5-node colour grade built for Apple Log footage, where each node handles one job, so you can adjust what you need and leave the rest alone. A solid starting point on any iPhone project.

• Apple Log LUT Pack (3 LUTs): three cinematic LUTs made for iPhone Apple Log footage. Drop them into Resolve and apply directly to your Log clip. Three looks to suit any edit.

• Safe Zones Overlay Plugin (.drfx): adds safe-zone guides for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and LinkedIn right in your Resolve timeline. Install once and it's there every time you open the app.

Mostly independent creators, YouTubers, and small production teams who edit in DaVinci Resolve and shoot on iPhone. The tools are built to solve real frustrations I had myself, so they work best for people who want clean results without a complex workflow.

All products are sold through Gumroad. You can find them linked directly on this page. The free LUT is available with no purchase required.

Yes. There is a free LUT download that works with DaVinci Resolve and most editing apps. I also publish tutorials and guides on YouTube, TikTok and Instagram covering iPhone filmmaking and Resolve workflows.

DaVinci Resolve is a professional video editing and colour grading application made by Blackmagic Design. It is free to download and genuinely powerful. I focus on it because it is the best free option for creators who want professional-level results, and most tutorials online are aimed at broadcast professionals rather than everyday creators.

You can find tutorials and behind-the-scenes content on YouTube, TikTok and Instagram. For products and downloads, this page and Gumroad are the main places. There is also an email list via Gumroad for product updates.

I have been shooting and editing since 2013, starting with iPhone photography before moving into architecture photography and iPhone cinematic video. I relocated from Johannesburg to London in 2018. I am self-taught in DaVinci Resolve and have completed Blackmagic's official training. My day job is photo editing at a property marketing company, and I am building toward working for myself full-time.
