When I'm videoing at a bench I find it useful to be able to see the subject matter and this can be difficult if the camera (iPhone in my case) is in a holder above the desk. I need to keep an eye on the camera screen and what I'm actually working on or else, as has happened, I'll wander "off shot".
I have tried various "apps" for the iPhone to enable screen mirroring and "cast" the display to a Chrome cast and a monitor. I have, to date not been able to find a reliable way to do this.
To this end I have bought a cheap £15 Apple TV box. Using this and the built in Airplay on the phone I can now, at last, cast reliably to a monitor. As I say in the video its a cheap setup; £15 all in for the Apple TV box, including cables and remote, connected to a 2009 DVI input monitor that was just taking up cupboard space. So a result all round. Let me know what you think or how it can be improved. A thumbs up would be great as well!
The display on the monitor will mimic the iPhone camera, landscape or portrait up until the point you press record. It is at that point the orientation is fixed on the display.
