thank you! simple and all clear!
You're welcome!
Thank you. Looking forward to your guide.
Cheers Ken. Hopefully won’t be long.
This is just what I needed. Thanks!
Glad I could help!
Thanks for this video. Very straight to the point and informative!
Glad you found it useful.
Thank so much ,Simple and clear.Good job
Glad you liked it!
Thanks!
You're welcome!
My loaded Mac from 2012 is still kicking too, use it fo tethering as well, nice video and tutorial!
Cheer Paul. Gotta love the Mac!
Great video Dan… I’m just starting out with a tethered photography setup. Waiting for my cable and some gear to arrive.
Basically I like doing panoramic photo’s around the city, many of my pano’s are simple 3-4 photos with some being multi rows. Having a tether to my iPad will help with coordinating these pano setups….
That’s great Mark! Once you go tethered, it’s hard to go back. Let me know you you go. Dan
Great video!
Can you please make a video tutorial on how to use Godox SK400II strobe light with Sony a7 IV in a simple way.
Thank you!
Hi, I don't have this light but I can make the tutorial using a similar light. The process is the same for any camera. I have added this to the list of videos. Thanks for the feedback.
Thaks for the guide! Just one question...
How's the configuration to get the images saved in the computer and in the SD card.
When I shot at tether mode the images only get saved in the computer or external hard drive
Hey Frank. Are you using Capture One or Lightroom?
That's a good question!!! So when you take the photo via tether and not straight from the camera... Will it save both of the camera and Lightroom?
very nice sir !
but I have a problem, I purchased tethered cable for my camera, I have Canon R7 mirrorless camera, in light room after capture tethered cable, but camera is not detected pl resolve the problem, thanks
A couple of things to try are using a different computer or a different camera on the same computer. Also trying a different USB port on your computer. Also, remove the canon software so that you only have Lightroom. Hope that works.
Tx for the video. In Lightroom, will landscape and portrait shooting auto-rotate in the preview?
Good question! It depends on your camera. If your camera has the option to do this, it will write it in the metadata of the file. Lightroom will read this setting and auto rotate if it's switched on.
Very well explained. Do all thumbnails show on screen for the full shoot, to enable comparisons?
Hi Bill. They certainly do! :-)
What do I need to click to have files saved on the camera ? Nikon D810 . Also, if I abhor with 2 cards, one RAW and second JPEG, which file format goes in the computer?
Hi Sonia, only some cameras can do this. If your camera is one of them you can try it. Inside Capture one, go to Tether menu -> Camera settings -> Recording media. Then select Card and SDRAM. Hope it works for you! In regards to which card sends RAW and JPG, it also seems to depend on the camera. On my one it sends card 1 to computer so I have camera set to shoot RAW on my first card. You may have to experiment but I would recommend shooting RAW to both cards and that will send the RAW file only. Let me know how you go. Dan
thanks Dan.. one question..l have 5d 4 and Canon R6 . Both have different Tethertools cables. Wondering if I buy one cable lets say for 5D 4 , will it work on R6 or any other camera with an adapter cable ( to convert from 5d 4 Micro B cable to R6's USB C) or do i have to buy a seperate cable for R6 as well.
Hey Sanjay, thanks for checking out the video. I've never tried it but I've heard people that have and they say it works fine. One thing is that the adapter does make the connection not very secure because it sticks out a bit. If you can find a dongle style adapter it might be more secure. I hope that helps. Dan
@@DanCantero thanks.. another tip i found was instead of buying a camera specific cable , just buy tether tools usb 3.0 active extension cable and then u can use any cable camera specific with this. there is video on this on youtube
here is the video th-cam.com/video/EqG3H9H2tY4/w-d-xo.html
Yeah, that is definitely another way to do it and it will work. Just make sure that the final USB cable you use to connect to your camera is data and power and it should be fine. Let me know how you go.
@@DanCantero it worked fine with a basic Amazon branded cable
With mine it just doesn’t work since it’s not recognizing the cam so I had to use capture one :/
This is something that I'm hearing more and more these days. It was stable for a while and now it seems to have issues again with the newer versions. Because of this, my first option these days is also C1
Can you live tethered video as well? Simple question I know but I’m new to this and it doesn’t seem like there is any video explaining how to tethered video unless it’s with ninja V …
Hi Danny, it really depends on the camera you are using. I'm a canon shooter and the smart phone app they supply will let you do this. I run it on an iPad and seems to work well. You can monitor your video as well as control certain functions of the camera like start/stop recording. I'm not aware of anything that lets you do this on a PC or MAC though.
Which tether software do you recommend? Capture 1 or Lightroom?
Hi Gam, if you work on your own I would recommend Lightroom. It is easier to manage with just one person. If you are running a studio and have help I would go Capture one. Capture one can do a little more than Lightroom but it is a bit more complicated and you really need someone to be monitoring the computer to make sure the tether doesn't break.
Which cable do I use I have Canon rebel 7
Hi Keith, check out this link. It will tell you what cable you need for any camera. tethertools.com/product-category/cables-adapters/
I just followed all your directions on my Nikon D850, but when I shoot, the images don't pop up on my Lightroom Classic screen. Very frustrating!
Hey Leigh, sorry you're having some issues. One thing to check is that when you start off your tethered session, in the first window that pops up (tether capture settings) there is a check box at the bottom called Disable Auto Advance. You need to make sure that this is unticked. Then start the session, (in Library mode not develop) and when the first image comes through, double click on it to enlarge it. From then on, any other shots should automatically pop up on the screen. Hope that helps. Dan
Had an issue, My Canon 5DMark IV with Ipad Pro 12.5, and I use Tether Tools Usb - c a 3.0 Micro -B right angle to connect on it, The display screen of my 5dmark IV says 'Busy' when I try the shutter button so i dont know what do .Can some one pls help me...
What application are you using on your iPad?
@@DanCantero i use Lightroom App
Im having the same issue this is very frustrating. Can someone please help? Im using the same set up but Im trying to use C1 and not Lightroom
No Camera Detected. Canon eos r6 mark ii
Make sure you are using version 7. R6 my II is a new camera and was only recently added in the latest version.
@@DanCantero Thanks.
This is just what I needed. Thanks!
