Using bluetooth headset for audio input when recording video on iPhone 5

MoviePro, for iPad & iPhone, allows you to use Bluetooth mics from within the app. If you want to record your own voice, one good option is the Apple Airpods. You can wear them and walk around and the level of your audio recording of your own voice remains the same.

Aside from using BT mics, there is a companion app MoviePro remote that allows you to video record on one iOS device and control the recording from another iOS device; such as record on your iPhone 7+ and control it from your iPad Air 2.

ASC - Late 2012 Mac mini, macOS 10.12.4;  Watch, 38 mm silver AL, watchOS 3.2; iPad Air 2 & iPhone 7+, iOS 10.3.1; TV 4th Gen, tvOS 10.2;  Airport Express

I've used the "captures" app to record video with a bluetooth headset (Lumsing). It isn't perfect, for example you have to make sure your device is set to not go to sleep for during the recording period, and you have to remember that when the bluetooth headset is connected, all audio from the phone is played back on the headset, not on the device speakers (at first I thought the videos had no audio when I played them back, then realized the audio was coming over the headset). I'd love a different solution (using the iOS camera app) but "captures" seems to work well on an ipad/iphone.

have you considered the odd chance that nobody knows ?

have you googled it?

Try this: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/recorder-plus-ii/id502271511?mt=8 It will do the audio, but you will have to record the video with something else and edit them together later. Let me know if you find a video app that will integrate the two, I will keep looking

If you want to record both audio and video in SYNC, try:

Captures app - https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/captures/id898573489

For a lag-free recording, use:

Please read the reviews on the above on Amazon on how buyers solved their issues using Captures app.

Bluetooth degrades quality and has an annoying lag. Use this solution for crisp recording instead:

Thanks a lot🙂

MoviePro on iPad Pro worked well with my very basic bluetooth remote headset Leadstar 2000 as the clip-on mic.
