Blackmagic Design announced free Blackmagic Camera for Android 2.0, which adds support for selected Android tablets including Xiaomi Pad 6 and Samsung Tab S9, as well as the new Samsung S25, S25+ and S25 Ultra phones. This update also adds support for remotely controlling and monitoring multiple phones or tablets at the same time. Now customers can set their device to be the controller and they can change settings for all Blackmagic Cameras using the same WiFi network. They can also view each camera’s shots in a multi view, as well as simultaneously starting and stopping recording of all cameras.

In addition, this update adds support for capturing up to 120 and 240 fps on supported Sony Xperia devices, plus adds support for Tilta Nucleus USB devices for lens control. Blackmagic Camera is now available from Google Play, free of charge.

Blackmagic Camera unlocks the power of the Android phones and tablets by adding digital film camera controls and operating systems. Now customers can create the same cinematic ‘look’ as Hollywood feature films. Customers get the same intuitive and user friendly interface as Blackmagic Design’s award winning cameras.

“Since we released Blackmagic Camera for iPad, customers have been asking for support on Android tablets,” said Grant Petty, Blackmagic Design CEO. “Our engineers have been working hard to release not only support for Android tablets but also to continue adding more models of phones. It’s exciting to be able to add remote control and monitoring at the same time as adding support for Android tablets. The larger display on the tablet makes it perfect to monitor up to nine cameras in a multi-view!”
