    Hi.

    So I want to use either my iPad Pro or MacBook to mirror what I see on my iPhone when setting up and taking pics!?

    Ideally looking to use the bigger screens to set up the shot only and once il happy with it I can use phone to take the pic!?

    Is this possible?

    Sounds like you’re looking for Screen Mirroring, but you can’t do that between an iPhone and an iPad or a Mac by default.

    You could do it with an Apple TV connected to a HDMI monitor or TV, though. Or directly to an AirPlay 2 compatible TV.

    There’s an app called ApowerMirror that seems to allow you to do it, but I haven’t used it. It would be worth looking into it.

    You can do something in QuickTime where you can view your iPhone camera through the QuickTime app on your Mac.

    Steps in the link above.

    Any hassle with it just give me a shout.
