How to film a cooking video with two cameras
By Con, founder of Music Wide Selfie · Updated 22 October 2026
Short answerOn supported iPhones, use dual-camera recording with the back camera on the food and the front camera on you. Or use two phones, one overhead and one facing you, and sync with a clap.
Angles
- Overhead for chopping and plating.
- Front-on at counter height for talking.
- Close-up of the pan for sizzle.
Light
A window beside the bench, or a lamp bounced off a wall. Avoid harsh kitchen downlights alone.
Safety
Keep phones away from heat, steam and splashes.
Questions
Overhead mount?
A clamp arm on a shelf or a tripod with a horizontal arm.
