Comparison
SplitShot vs. 2Camera
2Camera is built specifically for simultaneous front-and-back camera recording — and it does that well. If recording with both cameras at the same time is the feature you need right now, 2Camera is worth looking at.
SplitShot takes a different approach. Rather than dual-camera capture, SplitShot focuses on dual-format output — recording a single stream and producing both a 9:16 vertical and a 16:9 landscape version simultaneously. It also includes podcast recording (PodMode), a built-in teleprompter, content planning, and session markers.
Front-and-back simultaneous capture is listed as a feature in development on the SplitShot roadmap and currently appears as a greyed-out option in the app UI — it is not yet available in the live product.
