I want to take some video that I'll overdub later, and I don't want to capture the audio. I went to settings/camera, and the closest I found was a control that says 'record stereo sound', but deactivating it still resulted in recording audio, in mono I trust.

How do I turn the audio off for my video recordings?

I don't believe it's possible to record a video without audio without third party software or use of some sort of external device. However, you can very easily remove the audio track from a video using the Photos app or on Mac using QuickTime or iMovie

Photos (iPhone):

QuickTime (Mac):
Open the video. Edit > Remove Audio

iMovie (Mac):
Import video into project media, drag it to the project timeline, then Modify > Detach Audio (then select the detached audio and delete)

Thanks for the reply. For such sophisticated devices they should have this option, but I'll just delete the audio after.

See my post #2. Just an FYI that you don't actually need a third party app to do that.
