What Honcho is
Honcho is a mobile camera-to-cloud app (iOS and Android) aimed at live event photography. It tethers your camera to your phone and uploads as you shoot, with built-in features geared toward selling at events — a live gallery, AI face recognition, QR sharing, on-screen slideshows and on-site printing.
Where CloudTether is different
Both apps deliver photos live from camera to phone to the cloud. Honcho bundles an event-sales experience around that — live slideshows, guest QR delivery, on-site print. CloudTether focuses on flexible, automatic delivery into the cloud storage and client galleries you already use, with a single upload fanned out to multiple destinations, over USB or Wi-Fi.
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).

- Local mode saves straight to your phone's photo library when you're offline.
When Honcho is the better choice
If your business is live, on-site event sales — a slideshow on the big screen, guests grabbing shots by QR, printing at the booth from one integrated app — Honcho is purpose-built around that. CloudTether is the better fit when your priority is getting every frame into your own cloud storage and client galleries automatically as you shoot.
