@ekurutepe There are some other apps available which do offer the same feature, why did you decide to build something new?
Maker
@plaetzchen the functionality just became available with iOS 13. So all similar apps are few weeks old.
@plaetzchen @ekurutepe Actually made this in 2012 overcoming lots of limitations back then LOL... Really excited to play with yours! https://apps.apple.com/us/app/si...
Maker
@plaetzchen @danielhitome yeah this was possible to hack for photos but multi camera video capture is very recent.

I was on a roller coaster today with DuoCam 🦉 @xavierlowmiller thanks for the idea! https://youtu.be/YcsUoghCa0c
Looking forward to using this, though the website has samples of two places you're highly recommended not to fiddle with a phone.

@sarjun the car video was done on a mount. The plane video was handheld. Please do not operate DuoCam where it's unsafe or forbidden to do so. 😀
Love the idea. Also gotta day that your demo is one of the best you can do. Just missing a loop in there :)
Maker
@adiatlov to be honest I have not done extensive battery testing since I image most of the videos take would be quite short but I can imagine that powering two cameras at the same time, mixing the video streams in real-time and then encoding the final output to a video file can be quite power hungry. I'll do a test and let you know.
Really like to humble approach on monetising it and am curious how well this works. Like the simplicity of usage, no handbook required.
Maker
@plaetzchen Thanks Philip. The app is completely free and comes with all features/no limitations. Users can choose to "feed the owl" and purchase a small In-App purchase to remove the watermark on the videos. It is an experiment.
great, clean, does what it says on the tin - quality I've come to expect from you! 🙌
one quick request though. I assume this is a hardware issue, but is there any way to port this for iPhone X?
Maker
@dabravanel no. Apple says iPhone X cannot provide enough power to the camera submodule to power two cameras at the same time.
I was just recently looking for a camera and I can tell you that this is just an incredible thing that can give a huge amount of emotions. I bought myself a camera on https://pxlmag.com/db/camera-rev... for work, I wanted to become a professional photographer, and it comes out pretty good for me, the pictures are high-quality, the people who watched they say that I have talent, but, nevertheless, I just now thought about how to go, say, to the pro level and try to sell my services.
Maker
@xavierlowmiller yes. Multicam is only available on recent iPhones (2018 or later)
