While the battle between iPhone and Android users continues to rage on, Blackmagic has done its due diligence in providing smartphone filmmaking solutions for each camp. When Blackmagic Design first released their Blackmagic Camera app, it was just for iPhone users though—which perhaps left some Android filmmakers feeling a bit left out.
However, to their credit, Blackmagic has corrected the mistake and released their Blackmagic Camera for Android, which has brought much relief and fanfare as well. While both apps continue to get regular updates, the iPhone version has been out longer so received a few more versions so far.
To keep up, Blackmagic has released a new updated version of their Android app which is set to add live syncing of media to Blackmagic Cloud and directly into the bin of all DaVinci Resolve workstations, along with some other support and upgrades. Let’s take a look at everything new.
Blackmagic Camera for Android 1.5
The big news here is live syncing media directly to Blackmagic Cloud, which then can be accessed in the bin of all your DaVinci Resolve workstations that share the project that you’re working on—which should honestly be very helpful for speeding up workflows and give a boost to small teams making use of Blackmagic Camera for Android devices.
However, that’s not all the news for Android shooters as Blackmagic is also adding support for a greater range of wireless remote lens controls including the Tilta Nucleus II, which should further give the Android version a significant boost in usability.
Here are all of the updates set to come to Blackmagic Camera for Android version 1.5:
- Support for Live Sync to DaVinci Resolve using Blackmagic Cloud.
- Support for Tilta Nucleus II wireless remote lens control.
- Support for Oppo Find X8 and X8 Pro.
- Support for Redmi Note 13 series.
- Fixed green screen issues with Xiaomi 13 and Xiaomi 14T models.
- Added Italian translation.
- General performance and stability improvements.
The Blackmagic Camera App for Android 1.5 is available now as a free download from Google Play.
