Channel dedicated to video making on Pixel 2 XL

[jrharvey]

So I started a youtube channel dedicated to video making and vlogging on the pixel 2 XL. If anyone is interested here is the link. https://www.youtube.com/user/jrharvey592
Ive tried to make really high quality content just using the phone to record everything and plan on doing a lot of tutorials for the Pixel 2 and XL along with any other android phone. If your interested in any topics let me know. The main point of this post is to show how capable this camera is considering its just a smartphone but also to help anyone else that just has their phone but wants to make really high quality content for the web. Again... If this is something you guys are interested in let me know and Ill be happy to take ideas or make tutorials.

Hi - great videos. I have a Pixel 2 and have already downloaded cinema 4k based on your recommendation, and am looking to get a zhiyun crane. Would you mind adding notes/links to your youtube descriptions on products you have/recommend?

Love it! I'm glad you link to everything you use and recommend! Quick question.. I have the XL 2 as well, what do you do about storage? I haven't made it through all your videos yet to see if you cover this (but I am subscribed!) and just wondered how you get around the limitations of the built-in storage.. Is it really an issue? I'll be honest, I've not recorded much of anything on my phone since I bought it..

This is really good. I'm trying to mount a portable studio of sorts. My only grip with the Pixel 2 XL is the lack of a headphone jack, and to make things worse... the USB C port is blocked by the Gimbal (I've got a Zhiyun Smooth Q) so I'm not able to plug my mic in that scenario. I've been looking around and it seems some users were able to get a nice setup like the one I'm trying to put together using a USB C to USB C angled connector (wich I lack and I'm not able to find just yet).
On the software side, I'm having some trouble with the camera app OP suggested (it crashes a lot and has some annoying bugs like a stutter when first opened), I'd love to hear what else you recommend guys. I'll give Open Camera a shot this weekend.

Google Pixel 2 XL, Zhiyun Smooth 4, and External Microphone

Would the above configuration work OK, do you know? Or would I have balancing problems?

I already have a Smooth 4 and am currently looking for a new phone. Now that Google supports external microphones on their pixel series, I'm considering buying the Pixel 2 XL.

Any help or advice would be welcome!
