I am going to try using an Iphone 11 Pro as my only camera for fishing photography.
I know a separate camera/DSLR etc will be much better, but the quality of photos a phone can now do are more than good enough for a few quick capture shots.
I am not publishing them anywhere or printing them out at large sizes.
A couple of questions for anyone that has this phone...
How does it perform in low light - do you have an additional flash to help?
How do self takes work - stick it on a tripod/bankstick - but is there a mode where it will just keep firing shots until you go back?
Cheers

Done some more research and self takes probably require the watch as a remote, with 3 or 10 sec delay for each shot in timer mode.
Not ideal, but its rare I need to do self takes anyway.

Hi I use the self timer app on my iphone 9 which has an involemeter for self takes which has given perfect results on a tripod, I have had some atmospheric landscapes blown up to 20x30 inches with perfect quality results
That said I prefer DSLR portraits in daylight or when someone is present.

Can't you set the camera to take pictures via voice control in the “accessibility” menu ?. I've not tried but I could be worth a look ??

I have a 5d full frame DSLR, to be honest I have not looked to see if it has voice control but as I have a lot of time on my hands I'll check once I finish work.

I used the whistle app on my iPhone 6s last year which was fine. I've now got an 11 but yet to use it for fishing. I also struggled with light on the iPhone 6, night shots were not great at all.

I have the iPhone 11 Pro Max and I use it for all my pictures, if you need it for self takes just get a tripod and us the whistle app bud
The only gripe for me with self-takes on a phone is the quality of the forward facing cameras, never as good as the rear ones and can often look very over-exposed...
When i use my phone for self-takes, (Huawei P20 Pro) i was framing the picture using the forward facing camera then turning it around to get the better quality of the rear camera....using the whistle app it was a case of hoping for the best but more often than not could crop it into something half decent!

I made myself up a gizmo from different bits I purchased of ebay so I can use the the better back camera on my iPhone it allows me to see what the back camera is seeing using a mirror like it does when you use a camera with a flip around screen

All good advice thanks guys. Sounds like it will be fine, especially with the timer apps.
Anyone use an additional flash?
I will try out night mode when we can get back out, but suppose an extra flash cant hurt.

I don't use a phone camera but I won't always use the flip screen. I put a mark on my net pole with a silver sharpie that sets the distance between mat and camera, and set it at knee height. Keeps it quick, easy and consistent to set up

You'd think Siri would be a good option here but I think you can only get it to open the camera app up, I don't think you can get her to take a photo? Would be ideal if it worked
