Does anyone know of a way for the camera to record video and use the Bluetooth via headset for audio? Or any other cheap wireless mic solution that will work with on an android phone and doesn't require recording audio and video separately? Thanks

If you connect your BT headset it still records from it's normal mic?

Yes. The camera app only records from the internal mic. I really need a wireless solution that allows me to have the microphone several meters away to record the sound. I could only find wired solutions and they were not even for android.
I think I've got it!
so, I've been trying to do this exact same thing for about a week now, and I think I've got it. with the help of some random people on the internet.
it seems this is actually a two part problem.
1) get the device to recognize the bluetooth microphone (from a headset or other bluetooth wireless device).
2) get the audio into a video recording.
it seems that android and an OS is not readily prepared to do either of these, and the built in video recorder cannot use audio from a source other than the devices built-in microphone.....so....we have to improvise a little.
First, we will need to get android to play nice with the bluetooth device. start by installing a free little app called "bt mono" you can find it on the google play store.
once installed you will need to run this any time you want to use your bluetooth device in a way other than as a phone.
on a side note, this works great for listening to music via a bluetooth headset.
second you will need a video recorder that can take the audio input that bt mono gives you. so, run back over to the google play store and get "lgCamera"
the only thing you have to do now is tell lgCamera that you want to use the "microphone" as the audio source.
thats it. you now have a video recorder on your phone/tablet that will use "almost" any bluetooth device as the audio input.
I have this exact set up on my Verizon Samsung Galaxy Nexus with CM 10.1.0 rooted, and it works perfectly. I am not sure if this works with unrooted devices, though I don't see why it wouldn't. hope this helps anyone who's been dredging the depths of the interwebs!
very special thanks to david hadaller and to Warren Barton for the breakdown and links!

You are right! Tks!
Hi bud...
did you find any solution-for phone camera to record video and use the Bluetooth via headset for audio?
i looking for same too Sam.Note4 but no luck so far
Yes. lgCamera and BT Mono works on android. It properly records the video from the phone and the audio captured from my Nokia HS-3W Bluetooth Headset.
Tested with Sony Ericsson LT18i.
Cinema FV-5 has a setting for audio source, and BT works
The only problem - 'cinema fv-5' doesn't seem to utilize the front camera, only the main one.
(can't post the link, search on play store for 'cinema fv-5')
Hello. I kinda worked for 3 secs then it automatically switch back to internal mic.
I have level u headphone and note 5. Is is there anyway to make it stay?
is there any solution that we could hack the OS to make external Bluetooth Mic recognised by the native video camera app in the android phone? its so silly that if you try for example "Open Camera" app from play store the external mic works fine. But i am interested to use the native Camera app for video recordings
any thoughts or feedback will be much appreciated!!
Cinema FV-5 Front Camera
To utilize the front camera on Cinema FV-5 swipe from Left to Right.
If you swipe the left menu bar to the right it will switch to the front camera.
This is documented NO WHERE in the user manual. I found it when I purchased the Camera FV-5 app. On a pop-up instructional screen it said to swipe the left menu bar from left to right to engage the front camera. The photo camera version also has an icon on the right menu bar that switches the photo camera to the front camera but there is no icon nor instructions for the video camera.
It works. Cinema FV-5 works excellently with any bluetooth headset to record audio on video from the BT headset. Just make sure to have the BT headset connected before you open Cinema FV-5 or there may be connection issues to the app.
These are some of the videos that use audio from the BT headset around my neck.
The videos are on YouTube, just paste the ending part below at the end of YouTube.com i.e. /endingpart

An in-ear headset is actually clearer and I've just switched to that type of BT headset but I don't have any of those uploaded at the time of this posting..
UPDATE: Although the swipe left to right will switch to the front camera, the BT audio does not work with the front camera, only the rear camera. Perhaps Cinema FV-5 will fix this with a future update.
Hi guys, we could manage this function through the btmono app, up to version 8. Today, we are at 11 and the situation has not changed .. They say for safety but I cannot give up this solution and I remain at 8.
Do you guys who got this to work with BT Mono and lgCamera have a link to the playstore lgCamera app? I searched it but could not find it. Thanks!

I also do not find it on playstore. Probably it is outdated. I can only see it on apkpure https://m.apkpure.com/lgcamera/rubberbigpepper.lgCamera
Hi!
I've spent many hours on google trying to find a way to alter my voice during calls, in real-time but did not found any cheap or easy ways to do it so I came up with this idea and I thought it would be nice to share it with you guys.
You'll need:
Old nokia earphones with mic
Soldering iron
Standard stereo audio jack connector-cable
If you want to use it on Android, follow this instructions to rewire it: http://www.instructables.com/id/Rewire-Old-Nokia-handsfree-WH-102-to-use-it-with-A
Open the earphones with a knife or something to reveal the circuit like shown in the link above. Now you can see that there is a small mic connected on the circuit using two pins.
The only thing you have to do is cut the stereo cable and connect the two cables inside it as shown in the pics below:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/4zxsv3j87i...G0160.jpg?dl=0
You connect the red wire to the pin in the red circle and the naked wire to the pin in the black circle
Plug the earphones on your phone and the stereo jack on your computer's audio output. Connect a microphone on your computer and you are ready to configure your computer.
To do this, right click on the speaker icon on the taskbar and select Recording devices. Go to the configuration page of your microphone and under Listen tab check "Listen to this device" and select the audio output of your computer(where the stereo jack is connected). Now you can use your computer microphone to speak during voice calls.
Just search for a software on your computer that alters your voice and you are good to go. This one looks good: http://www.screamingbee.com/
I am using a Logitech G35 and Logitech Gaming Software has the capability to change your voice built-in.

This is kinda cool. I'm going to look more into this later, but on first impression I just keep thinking "So I can call people and sound like the guy from Scream?!" Do you have any video/audio recordings of how it's working for you or what it sounds like? Curious to know the difference and all that. Thanks for the heads up!

Logitech software has those 6 options but you can configure the pitch on each one of those: https://www.dropbox.com/s/n89x1fnj0fpo5ph/sample.mp3?dl=0
Dropbox not open without username & password
I tried meny times to open these images but couldn't. Dropbox says sign up first.

Hello. Your dropbox pictures seem to be deleted, or something happened to them. Can you please upload new pictures? It will be really very very helpful...
PLEASE READ THE DETAILS FOR ALL OF THIS QUESTION BEFORE GIVING THE FIRST QUICK ANSWER,
i have recently purchased the U11 and i was wondering about the use of an external microphone. I have a sony ecm 907 stereo condenser microphone with internal battery. I am using the camera / video app that came with the phone .
When i plugged it in using the 3.5mm / usb adapter, a dialog box popped up to inform me that the microphone was being installed .... in all cases the microphone is connected prior to launching the camera app.
i have also tried an electret unpowered lavalier mic but it treats this as a headphone
But the video app continues to only use the onboard microphones. I have tried front and rear cameras, 3d audio and hi-res audio in all possible combinations.
Is this simply a limitation of the camera software? or..
Do i need to use a particular type of microphone?
Do i need to install a 3rd party app such as Filmic Pro?
Do i need to change any other settings?
Do i need to install a patch/ app to get round this issue?
The phone won't have drivers to use the hardware and isn't capable of installing them as root is protected.
You will need an app to use it or there is even the chance you might have to root or even accept that it may not work at all..
Hi, I have a Fire HD 10, sideloaded Google Play Store, but otherwise standard. I purchased a 3.5 mm audio jack style lavalier microphone that is supposedly compatible with all tablets and smartphones that have a 3.5 mm jack. The Fire HD 10 tablet doesn't seem to recognize it. When I record video, it's still using the internal microphone. I tried the microphone on a Samsung Note phone and it seems to be working. I'm a complete newbie and was wondering if there are any tricks to get it to work. Microphone: PoP voice Upgraded Lavalier Lapel Microphone. Thanks in advance!
I figured some things out. First, the USB C input worked vs. the 3.5 mm jack. I used an adapter to test it out with a Voice Recording app which defaulted to detecting an external microphone. When using the app, I had to disable Alexa who was using the microphone. Then I had to download a different camera app since the default camera app with Fire HD Tablet did not allow an external microphone. Open Camera does allow a setting to default to external microphone when present. Now I can record videos with the lav mic.

Is this even possible with One Plus 7?
I see a lot of YouTube videos that claim it is possible on other devices. It involves use of an app called BT Mono (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bedoig.BTmono) and downloading the Open Camera app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.sourceforge.opencamera). Steps involved are :
1. Using the BTmono app select the on switch and adjust required volume
2. In open camera, select audio input as "external" and record
Clearly, it works in the videos. It doesn't on One Plus 7 probably because
1. BTmono is not updated to Android 10. I couldn't find any alternative to that.
2. I suspect One Plus doesn't support BT recording. I mailed them but no reply despite reminders.
In a separate mail, support said that you can do this by wired headphones or headsets but that doesn't suit me. I want to record videos of classroom as a teacher explaining things on the white board and be able to move around. This rules out other solutions like wired headphones /headsets/ wired lavalier mics. UHF wireless solutions are too expensive
Another reason I want to use BT is that I have an old sound cancelling Bose BT ear phone that is ideal since it minimise noise.
I have spent many many hours reading up, experimenting with different BT pieces /apps
I would love to have a working solution for this ASAP (it involves students learning and I am not charging them for all my efforts because of the Covid 19 situation)
