Equipment Needed:
Setup:
Make sure all iPhones have plenty of storage available.
Using the clamps, mount the iPhones on the Nanlites. All iPhones should film in LANDSCAPE and record for the entire duration of the event. (Stop and restart once per hour if needed to reduce file size).
Connect the receiver to the iPhone that will be the director cam using the included Røde lightning to usb-c cable.
Make sure the receiver is in SPLIT mode. This is indicated by an "S" in the upper left side of the receiver.
If it shows an "M", you can switch modes by pressing and holding the two buttons on the bottom of the receiver, then use the buttons to select split mode. Confirm it shows an "S" in the upper left side of the screen.
Turn on the mic's and make sure they're connected and audio is coming through.
Note: do NOT press the button on the bottom of each mic while filming, this will mute the audio. If the receiver shows either signal as MUTED (indicated with "muted" in red next to the audio signal), press the button on the bottom of the mic to un-mute.
Take a short test video while standing from a distance and make sure the audio is coming through the Røde mics, not the iPhone mic.
Once everything is set up, start all iPhones and let them record for the entire duration of the event. (Stop and restart once per hour if needed to reduce file size). Turn the brightness down to maximize battery life.
Layout:
Director: This iPhone can be setup on it's own tripod stand. It should be placed off to the side slightly behind where the guests are standing.
The angle should be focused on the director, while also capturing most of the robot. If the space doesn't allow for a separate tripod, this iPhone could also be mounted to one of the Nanlites.
Note that this is the iPhone that should be recording the mic'd audio. Attach the Rode audio receiver to this iPhone.
Guest Right Side: This iPhone can be mounted to the Nanlite tripod stand off to the side.
The angle should focus closely on the guests, while capturing just the end of the arm and camera when in an extended position
Guest Left Side: This iPhone can be mounted to the other nanlite for a second guest angle.
A second guest angle should focus on the guests, while capturing the end of the arm and camera when in an extended position
