Record your face and the scene in one take. Orbicam uses the front and back cameras together — PiP or split — then exports 9:16 for Reels and 16:9 for YouTube. No recut. No account. CAPTURE BOTH • Picture-in-picture you can drag, resize (S/M/L), or throw away mid-take — the second camera keeps recording • Split, vlog, reaction, interview, and focus layouts • 0.5× / 1× / 2× optical pairing on MultiCam-capable iPhones • Tap to focus. Press and hold on the main frame to lock AE/AF POST EVERYWHERE • 9:16 composed clip when you stop • 16:9 export from the gallery, letterboxed, saved to Photos • Share sheet. No login. Nothing uploads to us BUILT TO FINISH THE TAKE • Two synced files while you record, composed after you stop — the GPU is not burning during the shot • Iron Stream: if the phone gets hot we drop frame rate (60→30→24). We do not kill the clip unless the system goes critical • Interrupted recordings are recovered into the gallery • Honest ceiling: 1080p for simultaneous cameras (Apple MultiCam). 60 fps is Pro, when the session can hold it FREE AND PRO Free: 45-second takes, 90 seconds per day (two takes), small ORBICAM badge on export. Pro: unlimited time, no badge, keep the separate front and back files. Works on iPhone XS and later (A12+). Dual cameras need a device that supports MultiCam. Older phones get a single camera with a clear warning — we do not fake a second lens. Capture both. Post everywhere.
