What is the best way to record concert videos with my iPhone?

Hey Community!


I was just curious if you guys had some insight on best practices here. I go to a TON of concerts and love recording videos for me to look at later and remember the experience.


Since I’ve gotten my iPhone 14 Pro Max, I’ve tested it out a little and read online that maybe HD and 30 in the top right when shooting videos is best for capturing live concerts. However, it seems like when I go back and rewatch the videos, they are quite muffled (compared to the live experience - not really capturing how loud and energetic the atmosphere of the concert was). I also notice when shooting the video it flickers/glitches a lot.


Are there certain settings you guys would recommend on the camera for shooting concert videos? I’m not sure which setting is best to go into on my phone and change: Microphone/Volume/Camera/Video/Speaker? All of the above? Haha. Would it matter if I held the phone upright as opposed to sideways? Any feedback would be immensely appreciated!


Again, these concerts mean so much to me and therefore I really want to capture the moment as close as I can to how it felt in person!

When I shoot concert video with my iPhone the settings I use are (HD 60) another thing to be mindful of is how you hold your phone if you cover the microphones (see phot below) either on the bottom or the back it will sound muffled. See example below all the footage in this playlist was shot on my iPhone 14 Pro max Videos/ playlist. one last thing is I use action mode to steady footage. Hope this helps and feel free to comment if you have any questions
