Frame the phone before putting the Watch to work.
Mount the iPhone, choose the camera profile and check the composition on the larger screen first. Open the Watch experience and confirm that the preview and connection are ready. The wrist view is useful for checking the scene while you are away from the mount, including a light-painting performance or a recording where you appear in the picture.

Use the wrist for the actions you need during a take.
Preview and record controls are available free. Advanced Watch controls require Pro and offer more of the supported camera settings at the wrist. Review which controls apply to the active capture mode before starting. The phone remains the recording camera, so its exposure, mount, storage and power still determine what the session can capture.

Choose the remote surface that suits the session.
Apple Watch is convenient for quick operation close to the paired camera. Another TimeLapsed device offers a larger remote view when you need more room to inspect the picture or controls. Both are ways to keep your hands off the mounted phone. Test the intended connection before a take you cannot easily repeat.
