Will I be able to directly record video from an iPhone onto these flash drives? So that the video can be recorded directly onto these flash drives.

I don’t have an iPhone, or such a flash drive

But for some reason it seems to me that you won’t be able to record video directly onto a flash drive.
But even if this is technically possible, it will probably only be possible to record high-quality video with a tripod. As I noticed, the flash drive is quite heavy and during dynamic shooting it will move in the slot, and this will lead to loss or deterioration of contact, IMHO.

I do have an iPhone but have not tried to write to an external flash drive - so the short answer is, I don't know.

However, both those links you provided say they support Android phones; nothing at all about iPhones (and I assume they'd have said something if they were supported)

This is what Apple has to say - and it doesn't say anything at all about whether you could use the camera app with the right hardware connection to write to the external storage:

There is a video about this (I didn't watch it) that might tell you how that guy did it

Absolutely right. Record a video on your iPhone, download the video to a flash drive and store it.
Perhaps the iPhone will record video on a flash drive, but will it be convenient for the operator to work with a sticking out flash drive, that is the question.

There are one or two additional pieces of gear you'll need, but this video shows how to record video from an iPhone 15 Pro
