How to film a walking tour with front and back cameras

By Con, founder of Music Wide Selfie · Updated 22 October 2026

Short answerOn supported iPhones, record front and back together: the back camera shows the street, the front shows you talking. Hold the phone at chest height with both hands, walk slowly, and use a mic or keep the phone close in wind.

Setup

Dual-camera recording on iPhone XS, XR or later, in an app that supports it.
A small handle or grip helps.
A wind-protected mic for outdoor talking.

Walking

Slow, smooth steps with bent knees.
Pause at key spots to talk.
Keep both of your hands on the phone.

Respect

Avoid filming people up close without permission, and watch where you’re going.

Questions

Which layout?

Picture-in-picture with the street large and you small usually works best.
