So yeah, just picked myself up an iPhone 6 (free upgrade, hells yeah) and turns out you can get iMovie and a shitload of random video effects apps on it.

iPhones usually have pretty decent cameras, so as long as you can keep it steady, you should be able to get something decent out of it. There are many limiations, and a dedicated camera would make things easier, but if you have good enough content/shooting style/editing, that's what people will notice, not what you shot it with. I would say go for it, you've got nothing to lose, and it could be the start of a new lifelong hobby for you.

Cheers for the support mate. Filming and editing is something I've always been interested in, and now I have a way to give it a go without gambling a large-ish amount of money on equipment.

From What i've read the iPhone 6 has an amazing camera. If you're wanting to get Steady footy you could buy one of those iPhone glidecams, I believe They go for around $120 on b&h (correct me if im Wrong)

My friend has a tripod that he uses for his university filming projects. I was thinking borrowing that and modifying the housing to fit my phone might be an option.

wouldn't even have to modify it. there are many things that hold a phone that have a 1/4 thread input on the bottom for tripod plates

triggertrap makes one that doubles as a hotshoe mount for your phone, just spin that out and you have an input for the plate

if you are using a phone to film with please hold it landscape instead of portrait. the black bars on iphone edits is a pet peave of mine, looks so much better landscape

Yeah, i also get really bugged by the whole vertical vs portrait thing as well haha. Probably going to have a mess around when me and my friends next go down to a local dry slope or something. Fingers crossed it turns out well :P

That's a pretty nice edit all considering. Some good inspiration and an example of what can be achieved.
