For a while I've been using the weaker front camera of my phone to record my little guitar videos because I can monitor the view on the phone at the same time. If only i can use the rear higher quality camera.
Lo and behold, after a moments clarity an epiphany emerged. Screen mirroring to the laptop to monitor what the phone is pointing at. Doh, obvs.
Probably very late to the party but after a quick search and evaluating others, I discovered
scrcpyWorks superbly, very lightweight, does exactly what i needed. Mirrors the phone screen , via usb, with no perceivable latency and i can control the touchscreen of the phone via mouse pointer clicks.
Easy.
So now i can use the higher quality of the rear camera to record videos , seeing all that my phone sees from the comfort of my laptop, controlling it with mouse and connected via usb cable for constant power. Splendid. Welcome to 2018.

I've been watching people on Youtube like Tom Bukovac who basically just upload videos direct form their iPhone with no editing and it kind of put me off the glitzy well edited Paul Davids, Pete Thorn type videos. Which is nice cos making unedited videos is a lot quicker and less hassle .... but still get the hits if the content is good enough
Select audio source from drop down box next to record button
That's it, very simple indeed
For a while, I used an S9 with a smashed screen that I picked up for £25 as a webcam like this, and for recording videos I just used Filmic Pro but controlled it with scrcpy. Worked a charm.
Only thing is, it'll drain the battery pretty hard - and you don't want to be charging at the same time, because it'll overheat.
I just use a mirrorless camera with an HDMI bridge now. The remote control isn't anywhere near as good, but the quality can't be beaten.

My Logitech 920 seems decent enough for the video.

Is it easier than Resolve?

I expected to have to bin the audio and faff around with a DAW recording and Resolve to line it all up, but it's working very well.
I've got a fast PC so maybe that helps too, but I like it.
