The LG V40 is still a filmmaking beast in 2020. Why, how, and what else you need to make great art.

LG got out of the smartphone business, but you can still grab one, especially from the V series of phones, and use them as wi fi devices, but more importantly, as awesome filmmaking tools. And the best part? It won't cost you much money at all. Professional creative devices which are affordable, and come with very little compromise if you don't have the budget for a proper camera and lenses. And even if you do, these phones can still be great contributors to your artistic process, along with the rest of your pro filmmaking and photography gear.
