Bluetooth remote to control zooming in and out on iPhone video

Does anyone know if there is a remote available to control zooming in and out of video when recording one with the iPhone. I know there are lots of remotes to control the record function...but I haven't come across anything for zoom.

Hi Bigedd2001,


Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities. You can use an Apple Watch to control the camera zoom. It may be a more expensive remote, but it does other things as well. This article explains more about this: Use Camera Remote and timer on Apple Watch

"

  1. Open the Camera Remote app  on your Apple Watch.
  2. Position your iPhone to frame the shot using your Apple Watch as a viewfinder.
  3. To zoom, turn the Digital Crown.
  4. To adjust exposure, tap the key area of the shot in the preview on your Apple Watch.
  5. To take the shot, tap the Shutter button.

Take care.
