I recorded a short film with the Honor Magic9 Pro Max — and it legit rivals Hollywood cinema cameras
Honor teamed up with cinema legend Arri to bring native 10-bit LogC3 capture and calibrated Looks to the Magic9 Pro Max. Here's the result.
The Honor Magic9 Pro Max, priced at $1,287, is a powerful camera phone that has partnered with Arri to deliver cinema-quality video recording in a compact form factor. This collaboration, which started with the Robot Phone, has resulted in the Magic9 Pro Max, now available globally. The phone boasts three rear cameras: a 200MP main shooter, a 200MP telephoto lens, and a 50MP ultrawide lens, all powered by Honor's AI-powered ISP.
The phone supports 10-bit Arri LogC3 capture, Arri Wide Gamut 3 (AWG3), custom LUTs, and Arri Looks, with up to 14 stops of dynamic range and 8.0 image stabilization. The camera can record in up to 4K at 60fps, with standard 16:9 or wide 2.39:1 aspect ratios, and uses AVC, H.265, or APV 10-bit 4:2:2 codecs.
