Is there a way to turn the iphone5 back camera into a front facing one?

I want to self record using the back camera on my iphone 5... because its 1080 instead of using the front facing one because its only 740 and crappy quality and the back camera shoots in higher quality.

When I use a mirror in front of the camera I can't really see myself as its blocked by the camera. I want something that will let me see myself the entire time I am recording to see how I look and fit in the frame etc.... I don't like the way my videos turn out when i can't see the way i look the entire time; the front facing camera is crucial. I don't want to spend money on a new camcorder with swivel LCD at the moment.

All I can find online is this is IsnapMe which is a mirror you snap on the back of your phone. Would this work and is there anything else besides this that I can use?

Keep in mind that I will also be using a tripod too so I can't use Vainworks (another mirror type deal but shaped like a stand so it won't work on a tripod).


Thanks.
 
I hope that thing won't make the iphone too heavy for a tripod though....

Personally I find a front facing cam so crucial for self recording... I always end up looking better when i can see myself the entire time.... i look "different" when i just use the back camera without seeing myself while it's recording... hair might fall out of place even though i fixed it right beforehand etc....

Can anyone relate? I wished I had gotten a front facing 1080 camera like the HTC... I am happy with my iphone but i wasnt planning on doing youtube vids when i got it and never realized how big of a deal the lower quality on the front facing camera is.....
