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.
 
Year and half passed, does something changed?

Is ProRes still only format that can be recorded directly on USB-C storage?
