Wi-Fi tethering

How to tether your Nikon over Wi-Fi to your phone

Turn your phone into the tether: connect your Nikon over Wi-Fi and CloudTether uploads every full-resolution shot to the cloud the instant you press the shutter — no laptop, no card reader.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Enable Wi-Fi on your Nikon

    Or connect over the camera's Wi-Fi or a shared network.

  2. 2

    Connect your phone to the camera

    Join the camera's Wi-Fi from your phone (or put both on the same network). On a first wireless connection, confirm the link on the camera when prompted.

  3. 3

    Pick a destination and shoot

    Choose where photos should go — Dropbox, Google Drive, a client gallery, an FTP server — and start shooting. Every full-resolution frame uploads as you fire the shutter.

FAQ

Can I tether my Nikon over Wi-Fi without a computer?

Yes. CloudTether tethers your Nikon to your phone over Wi-Fi and uploads every shot to the cloud — no laptop, no card reader, no desktop tethering software.

Do I need venue Wi-Fi to tether my Nikon wirelessly?

No. Many Nikon bodies broadcast their own Wi-Fi network that your phone joins directly, and your phone handles the upload over its own mobile or Wi-Fi connection — so you're not dependent on venue Wi-Fi.

Which Nikon cameras can tether over Wi-Fi?

Most modern Nikon mirrorless and DSLR bodies support Wi-Fi tethering. See the Nikon hub for your specific model.
