B-S-G(The guy who's the reason for Google Camera ports today) got his device MI 8 few hours ago and started his work on it. As POCO F1 shares a lot in common with MI 8 including the kernel sources, Development on any of these devices would contribute to both.
He released the V1 of his cam for MI 8 and it's working perfectly for POCO too.
It's just the test version but the HDR+ & video are working without any issues. portrait takes time to fix(Expecting Pixel 3 would change things for SD845 devices).
Update (27/09/2018) Gcam mod by B-S-G including portrait. This makes the device POCO F1/MI8 as one of the first Snapdragon 845 device to support portrait in Gcam even before the pixel 3 release. Thanks to the great work by B-S-G.
*ZSL, Slow-Mo, Smart burst not working
Changelog-
Gcam Version - 5.1 (More stable)
V1 (27/09/2018) - HDR+ & portrait works
V1a (27/09/2018) - RAW functionality included.
V1b (28/09/2018) - Manual Saturation control added. (If you feel it's over saturating pics - 1.2(Highlights)& 1.5(Shadows) saturation works best for me on POCO F1. Users with MI 8 experiencing faded colors due to MIUI firmware issue can adjust it with saturation control in BSG settings of v1b version. MI 8 users can set saturation of Highlights - 2.0 and Shadows - 2.2 which is recommended by many.)
Gcam version - 5.3 (Testing)
V1 - Google camera updated to 5.3.015
V1A - Added many modes for rear & front cams.

If you are facing the viewfinder lag bug on recent 5.3 Gcam - Go to settings > Advanced > Enable Manual control of HDR+ > Select HDR + enhanced on the view finder
(Not working on 5.3 Gcam -
Smart-burst isn't working as of now as it's incompatible with our gyro sensor
Auto HDR+
Auto-focus is not restored after touch-focus, you need to restore by going into the gcam settings or gallery and come back to the view-finder.
Google removed the RAW support on new versions of Gcam. So please don't ask about it.)
*Use model Nexus 6P for rear cam and Nexus 5X for front cam for v1a if it works for you.
*Many reported crashes on Poco f1 with latest v1a release.
