Blackmagic’s free camera app is now available on Android, but only for newer Pixels and Galaxy models
After launching on the iPhone last September, the robust Blackmagic Camera app is available on Android devices today, with the same professional-grade shooting features and compatibility with Blackmagic Design’s other video production pipeline tools.
The native camera apps in iOS and Android focus on simplifying photography with streamlined interfaces and a heavy reliance on automation, and while more capable camera apps that cater to professional photographers and videographers often come with premium pricing, the Blackmagic Camera app will remain completely free on Android.
The app's claim to fame seems to be some advanced HUD-based controls over the video settings, as well as showing histogram, Zebra display, focus peaking indicators, audio levels, frame guides and more while shooting video. It's good to see the UI is the same as the iOS version as well. On the Apple App Store, the app has a rating of 4.8 averaged over 3.7k ratings.
