The Memory Recall function is a very powerful function for videographers. However, it isn’t explained well in the manual and can be confusing. Aaron explains it completely for you, including the mysterious M1, M2, M3, etc. settings.
Aaron tests Powerex AA batteries with devices that rely on AA technology. He shares real-world data and number with real devices: Zoom H5 audio recorder, Sennheiser EW100G3 radio microphones, and a Nikon SB-800 plus Pocketwizard wireless transmitter kit. Aaron shares initial and long-term performance. He teaches you how to get the most out of the batteries.
Aaron shows you how to back up your SD (Secure Digital) or MicroSD (from GoPro, Osmo, Yi, DJI, drone) or CF (Compact Flash) to an external solid-state drive (SSD) using only an iPhone, USB hub, and a cheap battery pack. This method doesn’t require a laptop, PC, Mac, computer, Macbook, or anything else. You can copy files in the field from your camera to a portable SSD, this case a SanDisk 2TB Extreme Portable External SSD.
Assuming you can charge up your phone, cameras, and the portable battery pack, you can keep filming and photographing in the field until you fill up your cards, chips, and the 2TB backup. This is awesome for filmmakers, travelers, photographers, videographers, vloggers, bloggers, creators, and influencers.
This method will also work copying from the USB port of your camera through the hub using the iPhone to the SSD. Just connect your camera, put it into USB mass storage mode, connect it to the hub, and follow the rest of the instructions in the video. The Sandisk SSD is formatted exFAT.
Aaron also talks about the folder delete but doesn’t totally delete bug in iOS13.
**** UPDATE ****
I changed the Amazon USB cable link below. This may dramatically improve your file transfer speed. It appears the bottleneck is using USB 2 cables and the Apple Lightning to USB 3 adapter.

Aaron travels internationally several times a year. Waiting in line at the airport to come through US immigration can cause delays and missed flights. The Global Entry service is somewhat expensive and can be problematic to secure. Aaron talks about his experience with it and why you should consider it if you travel internationally.
