Love camera hacks like these. With SOC's becoming more powerful I predict we will be able to use them to record at 10 bit straight to our phones soon enough
Hi...!!! For all those insisting in feeding HDMI signal directly to an android device, THAT WILL NOT WORK... Until now android can not accept HDMI INPUT, the converter has to have a 4K capable INPUT (in case you are recording in 4K in the camera) and will give you 1080p USB video, that can be used by all the usb camera apps available on playstore. HDMI to USB C cables transmit HDMI signal to HDMI monitors, giving you the option to conect HDMI devices trough USB 3.0 ports in say, your computer or laptop. You are welcome...
Hi I don’t know. Doubt it there’s only one hdmi port on cam. Maybe with a splitter. But they would both be wired. This isn’t a wireless method. Maybe use a wireless app. Then mirror the phone to another phone somehow
It does work the wireless is just laggy this is super smooth. Also made this very long ago. I’m not saying it’s the best just wanted to show something you can do
he camera is the same, but I need a list off the differents parts that You ususing to do it all, thanks, not the balkhead but all the USB parts and cables, thank You please So also the HDMI parts, thank
im not sure but it sounds like a nice experience. lemme see if i can make it work. im not sure how. my idea is to use ip cam to stream your phone to pc then pc to youtube. but it may be many steps
Hallo, he camera is the same, but I need a list off the differents parts that You ususing to do it all, thanks, not the balkhead but all the USB parts and cables and HDMI connections, thank You please So than can I buy the right , good parts and can I starting or trying, thank You very much, please
Thanks for this vid! I'm new to this so I wanted to ask 2 things - will this kind of a set up work for when I don't have a flippy screen but want to film myself? (So I wouldn't mount the phone to the camera but I'd use it to hold near me and check the layout etc.). Also, will this allow me to actually film over the camera's video limit, like an external recorder would? 😬
@@OpticalNoise it does work past the cameras record limit but the SD in our phones don't write fast enough to record the super high bit rates at a high picture quality. The video captured is grainy compared to the footage str8 from my a7iii
Can I use the tablet with an external camera to live stream on Zoom? With the Laptop I would just connect it to the capture card then to the camera, then on Zoom I switch the video option to USB camera, and boom I'm live streaming via my video camera. And that's without any supporting app. So is there a Tablet I can do the same setup, with a supporting app?

Hej ! thank you for a great video! I have a question - is that set up allows you to overcome the issue of recording time limit on A7iii ( 30 min recording time) ?
Hallo Robert , can You please give me the name and the list off the parts that I will need it to fix it with my camera Sony A7RII and mu smart tablet or my iPad, thank You, please

Great video! Are u able to use follow focus though? I switched to this setup from my lilliput monitor because follow focus does not work when using the monitor. The capture card showed up today and on first use it seems follow focus does not work😞
you need something else for that. this is just a hack to see your camera on your phone. your going to need something more complicated for that use. this can only preview and it can record that preview. its not a good replacement for tools you need
I using Sony a7iii camera seleact video mode not showing preview on mobile (galaxy n31s). When i press record button on may camera then preview off on my mobile. And also not preview abalavle on playback. Let me know any mistack by me? USB camera pro version app can fix this issue ?
the only issue i know of is if you filming 4k then the camera display goes off when connected on hdmi. this is for all monitors not just this. the app version wont matter does the same thing.iv never used that phone so i cant say for sure
if your camera has USBC you can use USBC - USBC cable and dont need the HDMI > USBC or HDMI Video Capture to micro HDMI which is much neater + cheaper.
I doubt this works. The whole point is the hdmi out feed. USB c Does not do the same. That only works to a pc with new cameras. Won’t work on a phone. Maybe there’s a different hack but let me know if you get that to work

Hey Rob, will this work on any Android device and/or camera? I tried using the "GIQ - USBc to HDMI 4K Adapter" off of Amazon, and I'm trying to connect my Sony a7III to my Samsung A51 but no luck, it seems...
@@OpticalNoise Oh, to clarify, GIQ is the brand of the adapter I purchased; though, I suspect that it's just a private-labeled Chinese product for Western markets. I think it might be a fault of mine own. I bought this GIQ brand adapter because I could find it easily/conveniently/quickly through Amazon, but, after trying it out, I suspect that it might only be an adapter - not a capture card. I'm going to return this GIQ adapter and wait for the actual capture card to come in the mail~
@@OpticalNoise I picked up a GluBee HDMI capture card from Amazon today, and it works! I realize that the adapter I was using before was just that - an adapter; whereas, this GluBee device is an actual capture card!~ It works great, but, now, I'm trying to figure out how I can still display my Sony a7iii 's HUD/GUI through the HDMI stream. I only see the video, but I can't see things like Shutter Speed, Aperture, ISO, Peaking, Zebras :/
@@OpticalNoise thank you for the response. I was just wondering if you had matched it to the viewfinder from the camera + brightness so you didn't have differing looks/colors and therefore incorrectly end up adjusting iso or f-stop based on the phone's display. Again, great hack and i went ahead and purchased a capture link card etc. edit. by color correct i meant calibrate the phones screen.
@@FreeRangeRoss you could i can look into it if you want. but i know the app has some decent colour changing things. for me it was just used as a monitor i made sure camera was set right. the phone is harder to change the app has a few very nice hue and colour settings to tweak
Yeah, I was noticing the colors, but my main reason for this, would be for my blind ass to get that focus somewhat right... Personally, I'd still try to change that color situation, this would give me a headache.
Hello Super tutorial. Thanks, you are Cool. It works as an overview monitor, extra. But I have a question, has anyone maybe tested this on a Nikon Coolpix p1000? Will this work? Thanks for your reply.
@OpticalNoise-Robert-Harris Can't you make it work with a simple HDMI cable connected directly to the phone? Why do you need that HDMI converter? Is it because the phone doesn't have an HDMI port? I'm just curious. Thanks
It's just how it works works the same to a computer you can't do hdmi to USB. If your phone had a hdmi port like the new Sony it would work fine. Has to convert the signal to USB.
unfortunately not. i dont own a iphone and the video hasnt done very well so its not worth the time to try make a new one on that. maybe one day if this makes more views
@@OpticalNoise You literally have 1 other video that has outperformed this video, since this video was uploaded. I think that’s solid. Let’s see the iPhone/iPad version. Thank you in advance :)
@@OpticalNoise Thank you for fast answer :) That the output power of this adapter is 1080p 30fps has nothing to do with recording 1080p 60fps on my camera's internal card, right? I've been so confused lately. 😃

hdmi adaptor is a normal usb port... phone is usb c? so u need that thing. unless you can find a usb c hdmi adapter then sure you dont need the other thing. but it wouldnt fit otherwise?
I am just wondering if I can record 4k footage or 1080p 120fps to my camera's sd card. And simultaneously use the phone as a monitor for framing my shot.
the app lags like a mofo on wireless. so if you shooting stills its ok but if you shooting video it is not worth it. i tried cause i would have loved to just wirelessly connect to see when i do gimbal work but there is major lag. on my new a7c its more do able. as it has 5gz wifi so its much quicker. still a few lag spikes but on the a7iii it didnt work. also using a hdmi monitor is easier but i mean every one has a phone. im not saying this is the go to method. just showing that it is a option and can be done.
normal usb cable your phone uses to a normal usb to the hdmi dongle. female is only on the converter usb from phone to the usb dongle. so u need a dongle form your phone to a normal usb . so that the hdmi dongle can go into it. look for rany usb dongle.
I tried this and it just straight up wont work on my Android device from my A7RIV. I plug it in and zero signal. I read android stopped supporting certain video inputs or something. Not sure what to do.
@@WeiserBen Note 20 Ultra here and during the app load it identifies the usb device as null then the app opens with an empty black screen, _is functional_ , and will record a *black screen* , and audio if any. Exactly to the letter the identical results when running app on Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 tablet which although is from a few versions ago (they're up to Tab-S8 I think or maybe Tab-S9 now, not sure) but it's still a *flagship tier level* brand name strong robust tablet, not a cheap clone knockoff imitation that runs like an elephant in mud. But this app just isn't working right. And I know it's not either the camera or the Tab-S6 because I've hooked both of them up, separately, to HDMI inputs on _various_ monitors & TV's and they both fire right up. Either HDMI direct into monitors or thru HDMI-to-USB capture card into OBS in Windows 10. No problems that way.
no in 120 its still only saving the screen preview. its not a replacement for a proper recorder. even if you shoot 4k 24p the phone is recording 1080p as its the screen preview now the final
Why isn’t anyone having an answer for this? What if one android phone is recording a video and I want the feed from the first phone to show wirelessly on my second android phone? Is there an app for that?
dam. but why though? why are you needing to record to phone and feed out again. if you can find a mirror app then it should work fine.. but what would the use be here?
@@OpticalNoise made all conections with said cables and hdmi capture device, running the pro version app monitor+ on Samsung S9+.followed required camera settings, pc mode on and disable USB power as shown in the monitor user manual,still app show no signal, I used the same cable setup to my mac to check if device or cable is faulty,but all components work.also uninstall and re installed the pro app and still no go..any thoughts on this.
@@soham.banerjee Hi brother, I used following things, 1. Xonton capture card: usb to female hdmi model 2. Mini hdmi male to hdmi male 3. Hdmi male to type c/ thunderbolt/ mini usb (depending on the phone model) 4. Used a phone mount on top the camera to set this up. Later on I fixed my LCD from a local repair shop but I still love the setup made.
@@OpticalNoise yeah i hope so , otherwise il go with a monitor , sound is very important for me and my camera don't have a headphone output .. thank's man .
What android version is your phone running? Apparently it doesn’t work for Android 10? And I’ve already tried connecting my Galaxy s10e to my a6400 and the app isn’t detecting the camera.
Flip I don't remember but my phones Kways updated so whatever version was available then. Iv seen this done on a cheap phone. This won't work purely through USB u need all rhat I used.
@@OpticalNoise I already connected the micro HDMI to the HDMI Capture to the USB OTG in to my Galaxy s10e, but it's not detecting. I'm guessing your phone at the time was on Android 9. I'm curious, can you still use you Android phone now as a monitor? And what version of Android are you running currently?

you can record to camera fine while framing on phone. but the phone wont record 120 p as its just recording the preview not the proper codec
Why not just use the Sony app, no wires/converter, and mount with cold shoe phone holder?
the app lags like a mofo on wireless. so if you shooting stills its ok but if you shooting video it is not worth it. i tried cause i would have loved to just wirelessly connect to see when i do gimbal work but there is major lag. on my new a7c its more do able. as it has 5gz wifi so its much quicker. still a few lag spikes but on the a7iii it didnt work. also using a hdmi monitor is easier but i mean every one has a phone. im not saying this is the go to method. just showing that it is a option and can be done.
Genius!!
not my idea i just demo'd it! show phillip some love
Can we record N Log footage in the phone?
it only records the preview of your camera. its not a proper recorder
Can u pls test out the qdslr dashboard app with this setting? Wheather that app can record video with this technique or not?
Iv never used that app
@@OpticalNoise can we control video related settings using this setting from the android device?
Pls. Can u share the link to that USB to type C cable. My question is the USB is it a female port of USB?
normal usb cable your phone uses to a normal usb to the hdmi dongle. female is only on the converter usb from phone to the usb dongle. so u need a dongle form your phone to a normal usb . so that the hdmi dongle can go into it. look for rany usb dongle.
@@OpticalNoise thanks. Really appreciate
The HDMI dongle link does not work :/
They must have removed the product il replace it in the morning for you
@@OpticalNoise Thank you! Happy New Year!
amzn.to/3pS936H updated it
Does it display the focus peaking and zebras?
Yes. Anything that shows on the camera will show on the phone
I bought a use field monitor
they are better yes. this is just a option
Did you mean usb, or a regular hdmi on cam monitor?
Keep it either way!
I tried this and it just straight up wont work on my Android device from my A7RIV. I plug it in and zero signal. I read android stopped supporting certain video inputs or something. Not sure what to do.
I don't know I can try with my a7iv
@@OpticalNoise thanks a ton man! I think it is something with my note 20 ultra
@@WeiserBen Note 20 Ultra here and during the app load it identifies the usb device as null then the app opens with an empty black screen, _is functional_ , and will record a *black screen* , and audio if any. Exactly to the letter the identical results when running app on Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 tablet which although is from a few versions ago (they're up to Tab-S8 I think or maybe Tab-S9 now, not sure) but it's still a *flagship tier level* brand name strong robust tablet, not a cheap clone knockoff imitation that runs like an elephant in mud. But this app just isn't working right. And I know it's not either the camera or the Tab-S6 because I've hooked both of them up, separately, to HDMI inputs on _various_ monitors & TV's and they both fire right up. Either HDMI direct into monitors or thru HDMI-to-USB capture card into OBS in Windows 10. No problems that way.
Does this support even when filming in 120fps or only in 24fps?
no in 120 its still only saving the screen preview. its not a replacement for a proper recorder. even if you shoot 4k 24p the phone is recording 1080p as its the screen preview now the final
Please do this for iOS
Hey dude can i use canon 77d please give me ur opinion
As long as you have a hdmi port on camera then yes
if im using my iphone as my camera, and an andriod phone as the monitor, will it work?
Your iPhone doesn't have a hdmi out so how would it. U could use ipcamera to do that
Does the 3.5mm audio from the mobile phone can be use as sound monitor too?
I'm not sure if the audio goes through I can have a look
@@OpticalNoise would you please to test it?
@@OpticalNoise I would assume so, huh? Wouldn't rely on it for anything paid though.
Why isn’t anyone having an answer for this? What if one android phone is recording a video and I want the feed from the first phone to show wirelessly on my second android phone? Is there an app for that?
dam. but why though? why are you needing to record to phone and feed out again. if you can find a mirror app then it should work fine.. but what would the use be here?
Can i use it on the a7iv?
probably but i dont own a a7 iv yet to try
I'm using a6400 sony..hooked up everything but no vid feed ..help on this ?
Must be doing something wrong. I can't help I don't know what you have done. Follow all the steps closely.
@@OpticalNoise made all conections with said cables and hdmi capture device, running the pro version app monitor+ on Samsung S9+.followed required camera settings, pc mode on and disable USB power as shown in the monitor user manual,still app show no signal, I used the same cable setup to my mac to check if device or cable is faulty,but all components work.also uninstall and re installed the pro app and still no go..any thoughts on this.
@@realsteelreggae7880 I didn't use the monitor plus app. It's called ip cam
@@realsteelreggae7880 USB cam not mo it or plus
do this vid for Ipad
Ios hasn't got a app to do the same thing
Will this work for A7ii?
Any camera with a hdmi yes
Does this works with the sony a6000?
Will work with any cam if have a converter
Hi brother, LCD on my a6000 don't work so can I use this setup to replace my in body LCD monitor.
It my work but it's a worth try, you can find those capture cards for like 15£. But you might have a slightly delay signal.
Forgot to mention it only outputs 30fps
@@damota6294 hi brother, I tried a cheap capture card and it works great. Thanks!!!
@@shuttlebadminton24 can you give me the names of all the exact equipments you used would be very helpful as I am suffering from the same problem
@@soham.banerjee Hi brother, I used following things,
1. Xonton capture card: usb to female hdmi model
2. Mini hdmi male to hdmi male
3. Hdmi male to type c/ thunderbolt/ mini usb (depending on the phone model)
4. Used a phone mount on top the camera to set this up.
Later on I fixed my LCD from a local repair shop but I still love the setup made.
Does it drain the phone battery
not really its just diisplaying the feed. phone will drain like normal
can you hear the sound output if you plug headphones to the phone ?
This may work but I'm not sure try it
@@OpticalNoise yeah i hope so , otherwise il go with a monitor , sound is very important for me and my camera don't have a headphone output .. thank's man .
Can this work on the sony nex 6 with an iphone se?
If there's a hdmi out then yes
HEY!!
Does it work with IPhone could you check it out?
Unfortunately I don't own a IPhone to try
What android version is your phone running? Apparently it doesn’t work for Android 10? And I’ve already tried connecting my Galaxy s10e to my a6400 and the app isn’t detecting the camera.
Flip I don't remember but my phones Kways updated so whatever version was available then. Iv seen this done on a cheap phone. This won't work purely through USB u need all rhat I used.
@@OpticalNoise I already connected the micro HDMI to the HDMI Capture to the USB OTG in to my Galaxy s10e, but it's not detecting. I'm guessing your phone at the time was on Android 9.
I'm curious, can you still use you Android phone now as a monitor? And what version of Android are you running currently?
@@derrickdoan1060 il check for you today. I only did this for the video . So haven't tried again. Will check
hi so it definitely still works, just tested and i put it on my instagram story for you to check. @opticalnoise
Can you live stream that way?
im not sure im sure you could find a way though
