OnePlus 9 Pro pushes the limits of videography


September 14, 2021

The OnePlus 9 Pro is back in the news thanks to a special collaboration with a fantastic creator, Sam Kolder.

In this collaboration, Sam Kolder filmed an entire high budget commercial solely on the OnePlus 9 Pro. The outcome of the commercial was simply stunning.

We would not have known that these stunning shots were taken on a smartphone if it was not mentioned. The outcome of some of these 4k shots even surprised Sam himself.

Some of the shots looked so good, there’s no way I’d be able to tell the difference between this phone (OnePlus 9 Pro) and a higher end DSLR or mirrorless camera.

Although the entire video was shot on the OnePlus 9 Pro, Sam Kolder was careful to inform that several additional accessories were used for some shots:

  1. Normal-sized gimbal (brand not mentioned)
  2. Moment Tele Lens and ND Filters
  3. Third-party Film Maker Pro app
  4. Divevolk diving case

According to Sam, this was the least amount of shooting gears he has worked with for a shoot of this scale. Though it did constraint his ability to shoot in certain situations, he enjoyed every moment of it.
