I skimmed the video for now, will watch more in-depth later. The tripod plate looks pretty nice. I'm surprised there's no obstruction of the bottom sensors. It looks like they're at least partially blocked. If you decide to do an Arca-Swiss version instead of Manfrotto, I could be interested to give it a try. The way I do tripod plates now is that I have the pgytech beetle clip (Arca-compatible) from their backpack on the front tripod mount and a slightly longer Arca-Swiss plate on the rear one. It's not perfect, but especially with a longer clamp, I can usually balance the camera decently. My biggest headache tends to be the anti-slide screws on the rear Arca plate. Someday, I'll get annoyed enough to remove them. As for the microphone, I'm usually MOS, working with a sound engineer and syncing in post, or using lavs hooked up to a DJI mic 2 on the talent. Your solution looks pretty good, but still seems like there's some danger of the mics getting in frame when the camera is pointed down, especially with a wider lens. The microphone mount on the front of the plate also seems to block the release to detach the head for use with Flex. Plus they don't seem to have an option for a shock mount - don't you pick up some vibration noise? If it were me, I'd be inclined to just set up a shotgun mic mount that sits further back on the handle. -

Maybe the iPhone 19 or 20 will go LOGIC? I'd consider upgrading if that was the case.... but with my 17 Pro I now have Prores and Apple Log, so the images now look like they're from a camera and not from a phone. -
I've ordered the Beastgrip 1.55x MK2 lens, and I also found an adapter that I can mount my Neewer 1.55x onto, so that will mean I can test it properly on various lenses. I have no idea which lenses these will work on, but combined with the 2x digital zoom of the GX85 or the continuous digital zoom of the GH7 any coverage issues should be able to be overcome. You'd think that cropping would make the FOV too narrow, but actually it's perfect because with a 1.55x stretch factor it makes lenses far wider, so cropping narrows them back up again, and cropping also lowers the resolution of the final image, but that's fine because we're interested in a flawed and character rendering, not clean soul-less images, so it's potentially an advantage. Given that coverage might be an issue, this might really suit the GoPro ILS as well.

Very clean results. I'm actually looking for a much less clean result, but with more character. In today's anamorphic world large clean sharp anamorphic lenses are becoming common, whereas large vintage anamorphics are mega-dollar collectors items or are being snapped up by rental houses and only available for hire. Dirty and compromised smartphone adapters might be the 'hack' that gets characterful images back into our hands, but in a cheap and compact package (thus this thread...).
