Currently Playing: I Turned the Samsung S25 Ultra into a Pocket Cinema Camera (RAW, Open Gate, Reeflex Anamorphic)

Can a smartphone really replace a cinema camera? In this video, I turn the Samsung S25 Ultra into a true pocket cinema camera — capable of internal RAW video recording, open gate capture, 5.4K anamorphic video, interchangeable lenses, and even Blackmagic Film Gen 5 colour science! I compare it head-to-head against the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K, and the results might surprise you. Using MotionCam Pro, premium @ReeflexCamera lenses, and proper ND filtration, this setup delivers cinematic image quality that goes far beyond what’s possible with any native smartphone camera app. 🎬 Sponsor Disclosure This video is sponsored by Reeflex.
