Video is pretty decent. It has a problem with white balance in my house though. The videos often come out warmer than they should be.
Optical image stabilization works... but it also crops the the video to do it. This means when you go to film, your video will appear on your phone to be "zoomed in" so that you can stablized video.
Video is pretty good, I'm a person who likes to document with videos a lot and this certainly give me a home movie feeling style of video, but the good looking kind. Like if you were to look back at this footage in ten years, it would be home style video but with a little extra production value put in with it. I recommend for people that want to just record and go to have the settings on 1920x1080 60fps and call it a day, 60fps being so you don't have to worry about dropping frames cause 30 fps will do that sometimes sadly while recording.

Hey guys, the camera seems pretty good on this phone when I'm taking pictures, however when I am taking videos it almost seems kind of grainy even though its suppose to be 1080p. Anyone else have the similar or different experiences? Please share!
Grain doesn't have much to do with resolution. What affects grain directly is light. Low light will give you more grain. Period. This is valid for professional cameras as well.
Shoot a video I good light and the quality is excellent.
Don't use 1080p it's crap and makes videos look awful. They decided to zoom the picture in about 40-60% and not allow you to zoom out. As a result everything looks grainy and out of focus.
Set ur camera to 720p look at how much you can see, how clear the image is how sharp the colors are etc and then switch to 1080p and you will find all the sudden you zoomed way in and can't zoom out and the picture quality dropped about 60%.
They claim 1080p support but it's a lie since they zoom in and give you a MUCH lower quality video than 720p does.
How do you switch to 720p mode?

I'm pretty sure that's just a big nasty bug. The camera sensor and chipset are all very capable of 1080. It seems like the 1080 is zoomed into the amount of area that 720 would take in the middle of a 1080 image...I won't say it's an honest mistake, as it's borderline retarded...but, if it is dumping 1080p worth of data it can certainly do 1080p video...that's only 2mp and the tough part is writing that to storage without it getting skippy...and clearly that can be done.
Though I am assuming it is writing a 1080p file...has anyone checked?

GoPro HD also does this. Few of my friend's digital point and shoots did this as well. So, it's a sensor issue, not a software one.
I posted this before:

I really wish there was a way an external microphone could be used while recording video.
My problem is with the recorded audio. Has anyone found an app that let's you control audio gain. Serious clipping for live music records.
Its the quality (bitrate) in which the audio is recorded. At stock, its set at 64kbps and a sample rate of 44kHZ which is pretty subpar.
There's a hacked camera apk that lets you record audio at 194kbps with sample rate of 48kHz and also raises the video bitrate by a tad as well.
A tremendous difference in quality.
The graininess is caused by poor lighting. I went to sea world with my girl this week and all the outside video's came out amazing. But, inside shots with low light all came out very grainy. I can't blame the sensor too much because like someone mention before the same happens on high end camera's. But, also remember professional shots are taking with very high end lighting equipment.

Videos are a bit...meh. The lack of 60 fps and "manual video" in general is, frankly, sad. The turnaround was using v10's camera app ported to the G4 (but works on G5) : 60 fps FullHd (but no OIS and no wide lens atm)
I recorded some waterfalls and other natural objects and I was very much impressed with it. It is the best video I have seen recorded on a cell phone. The live action of my boys baseball games is equally impressive. Maybe my eyes aren't that sensitive.

Wow....
All my respect for this company and for its phones. G5 IS THE BEST
I do love the quality of the video and really enjoy the time-lapse feature!
I recorded some videos from cars competition using different modes (4K, wide camera, HD with slow motion)
Slow motion.

You can see all videos on my youtube channel
Can someone help me on how to use the timelapse videos ? I tried with the timelapse button but nothing change when watching the video.
I fell in love with the time lapse mode...

You can do manual video using the V10 apk camera app for non rooted
The photos this beast takes are superb but videos are kinda "meh" but I think it's because of that "steady" feature as it kinda "warps" the video so just OIS is better if you have steady hands. Also thank god for V10 Camera Apk for 1080p 60 FPS video recording...60 fps is sooo beautiful!

While i was driving i saw the mount shaking too much and i thought the result video was going to be really shaky....i couldn't be more wrong OIS did a great job and the video turned out perfect
I'm so glad to see this post and find out about the v10 camera port

I definitely agree with you. OIS is really doing a great job on this device. :good:

Just wondering why 4k looks so much better than 1080p, even when watched on a 1080p screen.
Almost as if they deliberately made video less than 4k look crap.
I wish the audio quality was better. I found out that axon records audio at 96 kbps which is lower than other phones. I wish I can increase the bitrate for audio.

It has something to do with bitrate. LinusTechTips made a video about this but im not near a computer.
These clips should not be listed as "raw". They should called ungraded or unedited. Too much confusion with RAW.
While the video itself it really nice, and the audio is great in regular settings.... In LOUD settings, such as a full, live band, you get a terrible mic clipping noise.
Here's an example
Video of loud fireworks in Valencia:
I have to set anti-banding to 50Hz (not to auto or 60Hz), there are a lot flickering.
I took a video of starting and running my car after doing a lot of work to it and having it off the road for many weeks. I was very surprised at how well the mics picked up sound. As I moved around the front of the car, many different noises were easily identifiable and extremely clear. I shot it on the snap camera hd app instead of the stock camera.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlayB_vmkZk&feature=youtu.be
Here's a short vid I took today. Cold start cycle on the car. The phone handles quite a lot of loudness pretty well.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0ZRt3fzsOM
I was messing around with the Axon 7 this afternoon. Fitted a phone mount at the top of my front windscreen in the car and took some footage whilst driving with the windows fully open. In all previous phones this resulted in really bad audio with wind noise and vibrations destroying what I would want to hear.
Pleased to say, the recorded audio with the A7 is shockingly good! It's loud and clear with great dynamic range and doesn't pull back with a sudden loud noise. Very real. Will install a crashcam app to see how that looks and sounds, although I have a fairly good dual camera crash cam installed already.
ZTE have implemented audio recording with the DAC very well but the mics must be better than average too.

So I give videos an 8 out of 10.
The EIS works brilliantly. Very steady recording. The 60 fps 1080p is uber smooth.
Just very disappointed how the camera app doesn't give a simple frame rate switching button to toggle through all the FPS options instead of requiring you to back out into the settings of the app to switch resolution and then return to change FPS. VERY FRUSTRATING.

Video quality is absolutely perfect. I have an SGS7, iPhone 7, and this. Even though this doesn't have ois it still beats the s7 and iphone hands down. The slow motion is 100% seamless.
Sometimes when I take a video it will be grainy. I think it has to do with the lighting but I shot a video for YouTube a couple days ago and it was pretty bad. Kind of want to reshoot it but I am also pretty lazy.

You'll have a hard time finding a phone which can create 1080 60 fps video as smooth and stable as this. The 4k, however, suffers from some sort of low light artifacts when panning. That isn't a problem for me because I much prefer the smoothness of 60 fps over the quality of 4k. As for the slomo, it's Aight. Nothing to write home about.
Video quality is OK ..But sound recording on video is horrendous....
is there anyway we can record videos on 24fps? coz I cant in open camera and we dont have framerate settings in our stock camera app.
Encoding profile
According to this article, the video encoding profile and bitrate was improved in OOS 3.2.2...
I just got my OnePlus 3T, with stock OOS 3.5.3 and when I view back the videos I record with it, their property show that they were recorded with Baseline profile and with 42Mbit...
Anybody have more info about this?

I swear i don't use any gimbal bro. All the footage are handheld. Maybe my hand is smooth like using gimble hahaha. I planned to buy it one but i don't have enough money yet and luckily the way that my phone did is good to get smooth footage. But the bad thing about this camera is it don't give a good color to the video so i decided to put some color grading on it.
Or maybe if i have free time, i will make behind the video for u???

The robotic movements while panning from one side to another says totally otherwise that either gimbal was used or you stabilised the footage on post. Not easy to fool someone whose got gimbal

To make hand stable and get smooth footage, u just hold ur phone with ur both hand and put it near to ur chest than walk step by step slowly. This tips make me get this smooth footage but it a bit ridiculous. U can give a try and see bro, this will help improve ur footage. ??
