CloudTether for product & e-commerce photographers
High-volume product shoots are a relay: you shoot, a retoucher edits, the brand approves. But the retoucher can't start until the cards come off the camera, so the whole line stalls behind the shoot — and a tight catalogue deadline turns into a late night for everyone downstream.
Keep the retouching line moving
CloudTether uploads each frame to a shared cloud folder the moment you capture it, so your retoucher pulls and edits while you're still shooting the next SKU. The two jobs run in parallel instead of back-to-back — exactly what a big catalogue needs.
Live review for the brand and art director
Point the session at a folder the client is watching and they see every angle as it's shot. Approvals and reshoot calls happen on set, not after you've struck the setup and the product's gone back to the warehouse.
Tethered shooting without the laptop
Studio tethering usually means a cable to a computer running Capture One. CloudTether runs the same live tethered workflow from your phone — connect over USB or Wi-Fi and every full-resolution frame routes straight to the cloud.

FAQ
Can my retoucher start before the shoot is finished?
Yes. Each frame lands in the shared folder within seconds of capture, so retouching runs in parallel with shooting instead of waiting for a card offload.
Does it replace tethering to Capture One?
For getting every frame off the camera and to your team in real time, yes — and it runs from your phone, no laptop. For on-the-spot RAW processing on a big screen, desktop tools still have a place; many shooters use both.
