Cinema FV-5 Lite

Pity, it looks pretty good and has a lot of promise. Samsung S7, Android 6.0.1 Checked the system requirements and purchased the recorder for my holiday. All that FV-5 recorded was a still image and a X minutes of audio. Pretty disappointed. Contacted developer & no response several weeks later..

I was searching for such an app for long time. At last found this. But so sad that this is also not working properly. Even if I select external microphone as audio source, the internal microphone also catches sound and the total sound quality is poor. No support is got from the developer by email

Has all the advanced features that I've been looking for in this app. Allows to use external audio source, but unfortunately the audio stops playing back in the headphones when recording starts. Automatic gain control should be disabled when external mixer is used.

This app offers pretty much enough controls. But no control over shutter speed in my Lenovo Vibe X3. And another problem I had is that I couldn't monitor audio through headphones after pressing record button. Then what is it useful?

Would not e3cord on my SAMSUNG Galaxy 7 Edge. When i hot the red button I get 4 quick beeps, no explination, no nothing, timer doesn't move. Bought it and still won't record, no beeps this time. No error no response just plan ol don't work on this phone. Got refund.

Cinema 5 lite is a step up from open camera. You have aperture and focus control, and a simple interface. The only downside I see so far is not being able to direct storage to the SD card.

I would actually really like to make use of this app but there are some limitations that are holding it back. Most notable for me is the lack of control over shutter speed, but in addition to that the audio quality recorded even with an external mic is severely lacking. Maybe it'll be worth a look in the future, but for now I have to pass. Keep up the good work.

I really like this app and its great. For a YouTube or for someone who wants to shot hq video its great and I will make a video on low budget gear and some cool mobile voice recorders , tripod mobile lens , external microphone add and power bank all that for 11-12€ . I would really like to have the pro version but for not its fine.

I have written this before, but I suppose it was taken down. This app is garbage. I used the free version on my Samsung Galaxy Tab A, and it was awesome. I purchased the full version, and it has never worked again. I have sent several emails and tried to get any kind of support, you know, for a product I paid for that does nothing at all. It comes up but refuses to record. I'm still waiting for a reply....almost five months later.

This app is pretty good, but if you want more control pick up Cinema 4k. Also, this app creates countless empty video files for no good reason. It's a hog in that respect

My mobile cam just had a problem and saves vid with 3gpp format also with high mb. But this app so cool mp4 + 720p + low size !!!

I love the controls this app has, better than any other video app I've used, especially built in apps. But lately the app has generated corrupted video or pauses recordings in the middle of recording for no reason missing critical moments. A reinstall did not fix it, and no other video apps had problems. I'm sorry to say I must give up this otherwise wonderful app.

This is good. The only problem is, when i started recod using manual focus, then i switch it to auto or macro focus, they won't work. So, i cant combine the .anual focus with auto focus when record a video however i've tried the pro version :(

the app has lots of settings that one would want and a very good UI, however you can't enjoy any of it because it keeps freezing up and crashing. At lest on my Nexus 5 and CM12.1.

I would have given it a 5 star rating however the camera only records back and not front. I need this feature badly.

Cannot set storage location to sd card. Getting internal error after setting to sd card and recording. I'd have bought this app if it wasn't for this issue

This is their explaination of the lite version: " The Lite version is a fully-functional version without any time or feature restriction: it just limits the maximum length of the individual clips you can record. Please acquire the paid version to remove this limitation and record clips of any length." Yet they do not allow you to change to the highest quality video unless you pay.

It's very good and I'm considering buying the pro version the only issue i had with it was that the screen is not able to rotate 180 degrees. Since i have a microphone attached to the bottom I'd like to be able to see everything not upside down ;)

I think the histograms work. Well, that's the only thing this does better than other competitors. Everything is the same, this app can't hack the auto framerate and shutter speed of my phone, so what the app says about "exposure lock" is a lie, but is better than standard manufacturer setting. and don't download this for your main camera setting app, this will only let you record 720p max. This is just a demo for the full version.

Hi I found this small noise when recording audio with Bluetooth . I think it's the problem with the phone lenovo vibe k5 note which I am using now. Earlier I used with Samsung j7 found very good clarity. But how to fix this without changing phone.

The app looks all nice and pretty, but it lacks one important feature - shutter speed adjustment. Also this happens mostly for Nexus 5x users, but the camera is flipped upside down. I'm sorry, but the Nexus 5x has been out for more than half a year, and the problem is still not fixed. And, I mean, it still is a rather popular phone, so wtf? At least adding the option to manually flip the camera would be great and that is not that hard to do.

I don't know why, but the scene is inverted in the viewfinder. This is a very basic but very big problem, and I don't see any settings to fix it. I had very high hopes for this app. If I could actually test it out, I'd happily pay for a working pro version. I'm using a Nexus 5x.

I downloaded the lite app so I can decide whether I should buy the paid version or no. Sadly exposure compensation doesn't work and I can't record above 720 resolution. Dev could limit video recording to 30 sec at full resolution so potential buyer can at least try all the features. Interface is also not impressive.

I really like this app and its great. For a YouTube or for someone who wants to shot hq video its great and I will make a video on low budget gear and some cool mobile voice recorders , tripod mobile lens , external microphone add and power bank all that for 11-12€ . I would really like to have the pro version but for not its fine.

Doesn't work with the 5X, one of the few devices that actually can record in 4K. All video is upside down because the developer is using and outdated API.

Looks like this could be a great video app but the viewfinder image is inverted on my Nexus 5x. Hard to evaluate whether I wanna purchase the full app when I'm getting dizzy trying to use the way it is! Captured video is inverted as well.

Whenever I open up the non selfie camera it flips it is very weird I am using a Nexus 5x it probably has to do with the laser auto focus but can you please fix it

Come on. Don't tell me you people invented this thing without a selfie input. Cool app tho. Sadly. I have to give y'all 2 stars. Until the update gives us a selfie input. 2 stars. Sorry guys :(

This app is almost exactly what I'm looking for. I would just like to see a full manual focus ajustment option and some sort of saturation control or high dynamic range feature. Also worth noting, the iso performance is terrible.

On the Nexus 6P now. I still don't see the manual focus option in the free version. I would very much like to purchase the full version if I can rack focus with it.

So happy to use this app coz I had a problem in my phone's camera with video recording, but this app completely solved that and now I can shoot video anywhere any time..thanks developer..

Great video app, but UI is ugly and outdated compared to the camera companion version of this app. Plz update!

LETV x600. Installed ok but crashes immediately every time I start it. Reboot of phone makes no difference. 100% failure.

But it crashes when I change resolution its only work in lowest resolution please fix it

Awesome, really dont understand why low rating. Surely 4.5 min. Only thing is sharpness is default for celkon a119q even when i keep it max. Else extraordinary features :) :-)

Awesome app but keeps crashing repeatedly. Opens maybe 2 out of 10 times. LG G3, latest firmware. Please fix! This is the only app I've found that can record the audio correctly from my SENA bluetooth headset!

Just brings up the "Unfortunately ... has stopped." message on my Samsung Tab 3. No interface or splash is drawn.

Finally, the mobile devices are catching up to this developer's vision. DNG support on the camera app, 4k support in the video app. Both work well on the LG G4 which now gives me excellent control and a companion to my DSLRs. Cinema FV-5 now gives me the ability to have a third camera with similar capabilities and quality that rivals my bigger cameras. My favorite developer. Will purchase PRO!

You must update your app as it doesn't work on phones that have the camera physically mounted upside-down

I had installed in my sony xperia c3... It always crashed with m3ssage that camera is disconnected and need to restart application... What is wrong with app?? Or my mobile??
