Tips/tricks/techniques for taking candids

[Ubernesss]

At almost each of my candid shots i have been pretending iam talking on my phone, turning to the side with video mode on, and recording preggos.
My another method is when i see a candid on the street, i try to park the car in the way that preggo will come in front of the hood then i just record them without acting because its very little chance of being caught by sitting in your own car playing with your own phone.

Im curious in your methods, go on mates

Your strategy of acting like you're on your phone while taking video works GREAT! I tried taking my first candid and it didn't work to well, though I saw your technique, tried it, and the improvement is amazing!

Glad to hear it mate, Lets share your work here then i always use this 2 techniques and never been caught, spring is back so i got 2 or 3 Real bombshells for you Guys :p

Ok, then. For comparison, this first one was when I didn't use the trick: (the video is more everything else than the actual preggo)
                   
I went frame by frame of the video of here to see if I got a good shot of her, but I didn't. Now here's a shot of when I DID use the "phone" trick:
   
The video is short, but it was effective!

I slide over to camera and simply hold the phone at my side with the camera facing outwards while holding down the volume button(takes photos on iPhone if you didn't know). Holding down the button takes a burst which you can then go through later.

Hi.
 
I am currently working on the subject of video recordings with my smartphone.
Unfortunately, I'm still looking for the right app for it.
 
The recording should start with the volume up button when the screen is locked (!) and it should record in 4k or better.
 
For android i found the app "Camera Background - Record when offscreen" from hayhaysoft which works quiet good.
But it can only record in 1920x1080 FHD. My phone can record 3840x2160 UHD
 
What use is a newer smartphone with a good camera if the app only records in FullHD?
 
Do you have some tips, what app can record in very good quality (4k or more) and will the image stabilization technique of the phone work in this app?
My Samsung S8 videos look very bad in motion ;(
 
I’m looking for a new smartphone but I guess the camera-comparison-tests are useless if you don’t use the Android-Camera-App.

Thanks!
