Today my Mophie Spacepack arrived!

It adds 32GB of storage to my new iPhone 5S, as well as 10-hours of battery! It is a molded shell unit that the iPhone 5S slides into, and snaps into place.It adds size and weight, and protection to the backside.

it is specifically designed for video work in the field.

This is important, as the iPhone 5S shoots HD video, including SloMo video, shot at 120fps (supposedly, that is the next learning curve).

This now means I have FOUR sources for shooting video! Panasonic TM700 video camera, SONY AX55, iPad 4, iPhone 5S.

Obviously the iPad and iPhone are at a different video quality level than the Panasonic and even the Sony. The iPad and iPhone will be shooting, perhaps, "B" Roll footage for covers and cut-aways, including ECUs (Extreme Close Ups), or "arty," or realistic tourism.

I am really glad that I only do major hardware upgrades once every couple of years. For good or bad, there's a lot to learn, and not everything works as advertised. This adventure should be over in a week.

Had my vendor who was four months late in paying up $2400, I would have had this upgrade process behind me a month ago. And maybe I'd have some travel plans booked by now!
