5 best YouTube camera apps for Android

1. Advanced Camera App: ProShot

ProShot is like a mobile version of a DSLR camera as it mimics its design and functionality like it has 4 drive modes to help you capture the perfect shot: auto, program, manual, and two fully configurable custom modes. If the lighting or the environment isn’t ideal, manual setting is a good option. But if you want to have full control choose between program, manual or custom setting.

It also has different shooting modes: normal is best for everyday shots, light painting with infinite shutter and live preview is ideal for long exposure, time lapse with full manual control allows you to capture multiple shots over a period of time and video it record in any mode with real-time audio input levels and industry-standard options for 180-degree rule.

Other features are as follows:

• Live histogram

3. Easy to use camera app: PicMotion

When it comes to ease and comfort, PicMotion has the most votes for users. Its’ functionalities are very straight-forward and can share it right after you finish the video creation.

5. Get the best out of your camera with Cinema 4K

If you already tried numerous camera apps but still not satisfied with the result, it’s best to try a different approach. Installing a video recorder app is one alternative since your device already has a camera. And when it comes to the video recorder, Cinema 4K is one of the best options.

Cinema 4K becomes one of the best because it’s the first app that introduces Flat Profile. What is Flat Profile, you may ask? The Flat Profile mode can keep as many details possible on your image/video because the app disables the default sharpening effect. This is ideal for color grading and post-processing.

Other features are as follows:

• It has a trial mode but it can only record 1 minute long clips
• It has a manual Exposure that can adjust ISO and Exposure Time setting
• Also, it has a low disk space warning during recording. The timer will be red in the last 10 second.

A little tip when using Cinema 4K, whenever you’re recording a 4K/UHD video it’s recommended to close all the other and unnecessary background tasks on your device.
