What Cascable is
Cascable is a well-regarded iOS and Mac app for connecting to your camera wirelessly — remote shooting, live view, and importing photos onto your device.
Where CloudTether is different
Cascable is built around camera control and importing to your device. CloudTether is built around automatic delivery: every frame is detected and routed onward to the cloud destinations you choose, hands-free, while you keep shooting — and on to multiple destinations at once.
Why photographers choose CloudTether
- Auto-delivers every shot to the cloud — Dropbox, Google Drive, SmugMug, ShootProof, FTP and more — seconds after the shutter.
- Runs on the iPhone, iPad, Mac or Android you already own — nothing extra to set up or power on location.
- Works across Canon, Sony, Nikon and Fujifilm from a single app.
- Upload once, fan out to multiple destinations in one session (Pro).
- Uploads over your phone's mobile data — no venue Wi-Fi required.
- Local mode saves straight to your phone's photo library when you're offline.
When Cascable is the better choice
If your priority is interactive camera control from your phone — live view, remote shutter, focus pulling — a dedicated control app like Cascable is purpose-built for that. CloudTether focuses on automatic camera-to-cloud delivery rather than remote operation.
