Blackmagic Camera for Android 3.3 Update

A bit similar to the Blackmagic Camera for iOS update, although not featuring the ability to control your camera directly from your Apple Watch—which obviously wouldn't make sense in this case—this is a nice update nonetheless.

The big news here is the new support for remote control of pre-record on Blackmagic Design cameras. A nice update that helps ensure you’re always able to capture the best moments on-set. The other major news here is that this update will allow users to live stream directly to Facebook and Instagram, another helpful update for those who create streaming content for clients or their own brands.
