Blackmagic Camera for Android 3.4 overtakes iOS version

Blackmagic Camera for Android reaches version 3.4, adding 4K HDMI output, WearOS control, and REST API support, edging past iOS 3.3 on version number.

Blackmagic Design has released version 3.4 of Blackmagic Camera for Android, and this introduces more significant features in a single release than we’ve seen for a while.

The headline new feature is the introduction of 4K HDMI output, along with support for HDMI audio output as well. WearOS camera control via a companion app is also introduced.

The app remains, as always, free on Google Play. Here’s the full list of additions:

• Support for 4K HDMI output.
• Support for HDMI audio output.
• Camera control with a companion app for WearOS.
• Support for remote control via REST API.
• Support for continuous recording (pause).
• Support for Blackmagic Focus and Zoom demands.
• Remote support for Immersive Camera.
• Added a new Remote Camera Manager.
• Added Proxy Clip Manager.

Is Android ahead of iOS now?

On paper and if we go solely by version number, yes: Android sits at 3.4, while Blackmagic Camera for iOS is still on 3.3. This was released in April 2026 and has been updated to 3.3.1 since. It added an Apple Watch companion app, full-screen portrait mode via HDMI, and ATEM control through the Blackmagic Camera ProDock.

Feature-for-feature, it's less clear-cut. Inevitably the two versions differ in their support for wider ecosystem features (Android 3.4 has WearOS support, whereas iOS 3.3 concentrates on Apple Watch integration), but there are other differentiators. The latest Android 3.4 update adds REST API remote control, which iOS lacks so far (and is a popular request in Blackmagic forums), while the iOS version has that ProDock/ATEM integration, and it was first to get several capabilities that Android is only now catching up on.

But a lag that used to be measured in months has now disappeared entirely, which is definitely good news for Android shooters.
