Thanks for sharing. I use this solution sometimes but I will add, you can get capture cards with usb c pig tails eliminating the need for the additional usb c extension cable. Good video. 👍🏼
Thanks for watching:) Yes I have been looking for that capture card with the built in usb c, it would be a better solution than my "clumsy" cable management. But the principal was more important in the video :-)
The autofocus is still the same. The only thing to mind is that you can`t mark out the focus point on the phone with a finger, so you need to use the controls on the camera.
Can we operate all things from mobile after connect mobile with camera like touch screen or mobile is only for screen, all setting should be done from camera ?
thanks:) This spesific setup requires a video capture card and therefore also a HDMI port from the camera for signal transfer. I Don`t know if there is a way to do this with just the usb c output, especially connected to a phone. But there might be a solution out there maybe? Sorry I could not help you better.
I want to know if it is possible to play back shots on the phone screen? And can it be displayed on the LCD screen of the device and iPhone when in use? I am also using canon R6 Thank you for the very good video
Yes you can playback shots on the phone screen, it will work the same as the camera display, using camera controls. And it can also be displayed both on camera screen and the phone, using the right setting for HDMI-screen in the camera menu.( for R6 first page no 8 - when in video mode)
You just tap the phone screen - and you can also zoom in and out just like a normal touch screen. Sorry if this wasn`t What you meant.. Thanks for watching :-)
My dslr's liveview mode is not working because of a shutter error. But the viewfinder does work and can take pictures with it. Will this setup work even if this is the case?
I would think so. This setup takes signals from the HDMI, and the camera screen will be shutting off during the use of the external monitor anyways. But I haven`t tried it under that specific issue, so this is just a guess.
I have an HDMI Video Capture card, but I cannot find the right app to connect my dslr camera to my iPhone. I tried the CamX-USB Camera, but it still won't connect to my camera. Any suggestions? Thanks.
I am using an app called "usb camera" and it works fine. It comes in a free version and a pro for a few bucks. You can download it from google play for android, or App store if you use Iphone.
1. Does it record to the phone or the cameras SE card? 2. Is there a record limit? 3. Does it record 4k? 4. Does it work on iPhone? Thank you for making this video!!!
Hi, thank you for watching:-) Well, I`ll try to answer in short form here: 1. You record to your camera sd card automatically. You can also record to Your phone, but it needs to be specified in the app (usb camera app) 2. The record limit is decided by codec, resolution and what Storage space you have. 3. You can record in 4K to your phone, but make sure you have a video capture card that supports 4k resolution. If you record to Your camera sd card there will off course be no problem. 4. It does work on Iphone, just download the USB Camera app from App Store, you can choose the free version or the pro version, depending on your needs. There is a hole lot of things you can do with this solution, for example you can make live streams directly to a social media platform via the phone, using an external camera. :-)
Yes, you should be able to do live streaming using this setup. But It`s probably vice to buy the pro version of the USB Camera app with slightly more advanced settings. And not at least, you will get rid of the adds that pops up in the free version when you are online.

You`re welcome - and thanks for watching :-)
Can you do autofocus on the phone, the same way you do from the camera screen ?
The autofocus is still the same. The only thing to mind is that you can`t mark out the focus point on the phone with a finger, so you need to use the controls on the camera.
Can we operate all things from mobile after connect mobile with camera like touch screen or mobile is only for screen, all setting should be done from camera ?
unfortunately you can not operate the camera settings from the phone touch screen, just on the camera.
subscribed! do you think this set up would work with a digicam (vetek brand) that has a usb c port?

Great video, I think this is something ive been looking for. I just want to use my phone as a monitor and see all the settings.
Thanks, yes it can be helpful to have a bigger screen to monitor settings and focus in an easy way :-)
I want to know if it is possible to play back shots on the phone screen?
And can it be displayed on the LCD screen of the device and iPhone when in use?
I am also using canon R6

What about the multi-function shoe adapter for smartphone link (Canon AD-P1)?
I`m not that familiar with the device, looks interesting though :)
is it work for fujifilm xe2 bro ???
As long as the camera has HDMI, it will work :)
I have some short cables on order. How do you get the full width? Great video. Thanks ❤❤❤

Can also use camera monitor and smartphone display at the same time?
Yes, you can choose in the settings of the camera if signals should go to both screens or just the external monitor.

It's good to use an HDMI to micro HDMI coiled cable because it looks more tidy for cable management. Good video sharing here.
Thanks, I agree with you - the cable should be coiled for better cable management, but I did not have one at that time unfortunately :-)
does the video capture card is mandatory? can i just plug micro hdmi to hdmi -> hdmi to c (direct to phone)?
Yes, you`ll need a video capure card for this setup.
Is it possible to go live with this setup?
Yes, you should be able to do live streaming using this setup. But It`s probably vice to buy the pro version of the USB Camera app with slightly more advanced settings. And not at least, you will get rid of the adds that pops up in the free version when you are online.
The app keeps crashing on my phone tho
It`s hard to say what causes that. I haven`t experienced it to be crashing yet. maybe try to delete the app, and reinstall it?
