How to film a real estate video tour on iPhone, with you in the shot
Walk buyers through a home with the back camera on the rooms and the front camera on you, and get a portrait and a landscape cut from one take.
By the Dualsy team ·
A listing video works better when buyers see the rooms and hear from the person selling them. Filming both with one iPhone keeps the tour and the commentary in sync, and one take can feed the listing page and social feeds.
Set up before you walk in
Choose FRONT + BACK
The back camera films the rooms, the front camera keeps you in a small window.
Put the window in a corner
Drag it to a top corner so floors and doorways stay clear.
Pick the 0.5x lens
The ultra wide lens shows a whole room from the doorway.
Load your notes
Paste the key facts (size, light, renovations) into the teleprompter.
Front + back
The view and you, in the same moment.
Teleprompter
Your script scrolls on screen while you record.
Pro controls
4K up to 60 fps, 0.5x to 2x lenses, MOV or MP4.
Filming the walk-through
- Turn on every light and open the blinds before you start.
- Walk slowly and pause in each doorway for a few seconds.
- Hold the phone at chest height and keep it level; the framing grid helps.
- Say one thing per room: what it is and what makes it worth seeing.
One take, every platform
For short clips, switch to DUAL CAM and record the same walk-through as a portrait 9:16 file for Reels and Shorts and a landscape 16:9 file for the listing page and YouTube.
