About Dual Shot Recorder
Dual Shot Recorder is a proprietary iPhone app, listed in the App Store as Dual Shot Camera - Multi Cam. It records from two of the phone's lenses at the same time, such as front and back or wide and ultra wide, and saves two synchronized video files from one take. It is aimed at creators of vlogs, reaction videos, interviews and short-form social clips.
Users can pair any two lenses their iPhone supports and change the pairing with a tap, rather than being limited to one fixed combination. Focus, exposure and orientation are handled separately for each camera, so one lens can shoot portrait 9:16 while the other shoots landscape 16:9. A live dual view with a picture-in-picture preview shows both feeds while recording.
The app is published by an individual developer and is free to download with in-app purchases. It is not self-hosted software, and the App Store listing shows a small download size compared with many camera apps.
