To record a video podcast alone, set up your camera on a tripod with good lighting and use a voice-controlled app like Shootsolo to manage takes without touching the phone. You stay in presenter mode while the app handles the rest.
Shootsolo begins the take instantly — no taps, no countdown.
Shootsolo stops and asks "Save take?"
Say "yes" to keep the take or "no" to reshoot — hands-free.
Shootsolo is built for exactly this use case — voice-controlled, hands-free, with per-take review. It's free to download, with a credits system for shoots.
