On my S10e, the stock camera app only supports 30 and 60 fps. FilmicPro on the other hand also supports 24 and 25 fps.
You can try the FilmicPro evaluator and check if selectable fps is available on your device: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.filmic.compatibilitytest
That is unexpected to hear, as OpenCamera works on my LG V-60 and the stock camera in regular (not in manual) mode.
I cannot recommend Filmic Pro highly enough. You can get the evaluator that tests your phone for compatibility here:

You can also purchase add-ons like a remote control for a second Android device, or a special toolkit that provides color controls and "log" filming. Buying everything is still cheap for the features you get.
Meanwhile, I hope you can still get Android system updates for the V-50. That might be what is needed, perhaps.

One of the best app to record video with "full" manual control is filmic pro, really one for the best, this app will let you know which version of the filmic app you should get for your phone (quite sure the pixel support the pro version, which is better than the plus)
I received an email from FiLMiC with the following info:
The following list contains all the current devices that we support 10Bit recording, since this is a normally requested feature because it allows for a much deeper color palette I believe it would be a good starting point to start discarding potential devices:
LG
LG V40
LG V50
LG V60
LG G7
LG G8
OnePlus
OnePlus 8
OnePlus 8 Pro
OnePlus 8T
OnePlus 9
OPPO
OPPO Find X3 series
POCO
Xiaomi POCO F2
Xiaomi POCO F3
Redmi
Xiaomi Redmi K30 Pro
Samsung
Samsung Galaxy S10
Samsung Galaxy Note 10
Samsung Galaxy S20 series
Samsung Galaxy Note 20
Samsung Galaxy S21 Series (only Exynos variants)
Sony
Sony devices, but please note that this also depends if the device actually supports 10-bit for 3rd party apps, meaning that not all Sony devices actually support 10-bit.
Xiaomi
Xiaomi Mi9
Xiaomi Mi10 series
Xiaomi Mi11 series
But of course, we always recommend using our FiLMiC Pro Evaluator app if possible before any kind of purchase. The FiLMiC Pro Evaluator is available in the Google Play store at: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.filmic.compatibilitytest&hl=en
Once downloaded, the app will test your device to determine compatibility with the various FiLMiC Pro features and give you a report about what you will and will not be able to do with FiLMiC Pro on your device. This should give you a clear understanding of what FiLMiC Pro can do, and whether it will be useful to you or not.
Please note: if the Evaluator is not available for download on the device, then the device is not compatible with any portion of the app. Also, at minimum, the device needs to be running Android 7 or a newer operating system.
Try the trial version which will tell you what all of the capabilities of your phone are https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.filmic.compatibilitytest
I can't answer you directly, but my 7t can do 4k/60.
There is also the evaluator app you can use to find out things for sure. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.filmic.compatibilitytest
Filmic Pro has a 9-square grid guide overlay option.
Works great on iPhone, but Android support is a little spotty as different manufacturers have different restrictions on what 3rd party camera apps can do.
There is an Android Evaluator app you can use to see what features (if any) won't work on your device. If Filmic Pro has issues on your phone, chances are other 3rd party camera apps will too.
Androids are a crapshoot for video.
There are Androids with excellent cameras exceeding what the iPhones have that are hampered by the manufacturers locking down their camera APIs so you're forced to use the stock app if you want all the features. Samsung, Sony, and Xiaomi in particular are notorious for this!
You really don't want to be shooting video with stock camera app if you can avoid it. They often give you no or very little control over the video settings and force too many settings to auto. Likewise if you get a cell phone gimbal, you'll usually need to use the gimbal app to control the gimbal and shoot the video.
If you're going to go the Android route, see if you can find reports of someone trying to run Filmic Pro on it. That should reveal if there are any camera API/hardware issues that prevent functionality.
The Google Pixels are a fairly decent choice, though you probably won't get image stabalization in 3rd party apps.
Filmic have a list of known problem cameras here as well as an evaluation app which if you can get your hands on a phone you can run to see what features will work.
Even if you don't end up shooting with Filmic, it is still a good indication as to how well other camera apps will function.
At least with iPhones, Apple let apps have nearly full control over the camera API and they shoot great video.
Yes with a different camera app, Filmic Pro for example.
You can test if Filmic Pro will work with your phone with this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.filmic.compatibilitytest&hl=de&gl=US
Androids are a crap-shoot when it comes to how much control apps can have over the camera. It's very common for some camera features to only be available in the stock app.
Try running the Filmic Pro evaluator app. Even if you don't end up using Filmic it should at least give you an idea of how capable your phone is.
While the S8 isn't specifically mentioned on Filmic's compatability page, it does have issues with framerates higher than 30fps on Samsung phones.
Try running the evaluator to see what features will work.
The issue is that Samsung lock down their camera API so the ability of any third camera app will be limited. If it won't work in Filmic, it won't work in any other app either!
You may be stuck with the Samsung camera app if you want 1080p60.
I don't know, but can always check it first with their Evaluator:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.filmic.compatibilitytest
Use a 3rd party camera app that lets you lock the framerate rather than the built-in app. Filmic Pro is a good one, same with Moment Pro.
However you'll want to run the Filmic Pro Evaluator first to see what features are available for your specific camera. Filmic themselves don't have Nokia devices on their list of devices with compatibility issues but better safe than sorry!
That will give you good indication on how well any 3rd party app will work.
You can do this with smartphones and third party camera apps.
Just checked Filmic pro on my iPhone and it’ll do 5fps at 1/960th shutter. Probably close enough?
Works on android too but check the compatibility test app as not all features work on all phones:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.filmic.compatibilitytest&hl=en_US
There is an evaluator you should find it here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.filmic.compatibilitytest
Have you checked Filmic Pros compatibility app for Android?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.filmic.compatibilitytest&hl=en_US
Yeah
There is a free evaluator app that lets you work out what features will work on a specific phone:

> Can I use a bluetooth headset?
I'd expect you can do this, but quality won't be good.
Bluetooth headsets are designed for telephony, and that means they only need to have good frequency response for a very narrow frequency band.
You'll probably find they lack much if any bass or high end frequencies and the recording will sound very much like someone speaking on a phone.
If you've already got one to hand, there's no harm in trying!
> If not, can any one recommend 3 wireless microphones across three price points?
On the tight budget end...
Mid range:
And high end industry-standard:
Depending on your phone, you may require one of those headphone/microphone u splitter cables/adapters for it to work.
> Is using a microphone with a video native?
Depends on the phone.
However, you should use a third party app for video. The stock apps tend to have too many controls on automatic and shoot variable frame rates which can cause issues with editing software.
Filmic Pro is my go-to recommendation, for Android devices they have a compatibility app to make sure it will work on your phone before you buy it. No need on iPhone, it works great on all of them!
Thats odd , Try this

The evaluator app is free. Smart on their part to let people test things before buying the app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.filmic.compatibilitytest
Filmic pro Support would be interesting to know.
