I have a Sandisk iXand usb-C thumb drive that amazingly enough is fast enough to work with my new iPhone 15 Pro Max when recording Prores video. I would love to be able to record standard non-ProRes video and photos directly to the drive. Are any of these other formats supported?

Why not select a diff video format and point it to save to the external USB-C flash drive?

Recording standard 4k60 would be great just to have the freedom to shoot a lot

Oh that’s terrible then. Would have been great to be able to shoot any 4K video to an external drive not just ProRes. A lot of people could benefit from being able to record directly to USB drives, but I guess then no one would buy phones larger than 256gb.

Maybe third party apps will support shooting 4k HEVC to usb?

It's an obvious lock-in feature, otherwise nobody would buy storage from Apple. The entire file system is locked down.
