Your iPhone decides how every shot should look before you do.
Vectra records what the sensor saw, in the log curve your edit already uses.
Cut it next to your cinema camera
Pick the log profile of the camera you're matching. Vectra converts the iPhone's 10-bit signal into that curve and colour gamut on the GPU, so the same LUT and the same grade work on both.

The 10-bit code Vectra writes for an 18% grey card, matching each manufacturer's published value. iPhone 15 Pro and later start from native Apple Log; earlier models from 10-bit HLG.
Stabilise it in Gyroflow
Every take records the phone's gyroscope and accelerometer, timed to the video frames. In-camera stabilisation stays off, so the motion data describes the image exactly and Gyroflow can do better work than the phone would.

Files that hold up in the grade
10-bit HEVC at cinema data rates, saved straight to the Files app and named the way a Blackmagic camera names its clips. Nothing goes through Photos, so nothing gets renamed or recompressed.
