What is camera tethering?
Tethering connects your camera to another device so photos transfer the moment you shoot.
By the CloudTether team · Updated
Camera tethering connects your camera to another device so photos transfer the moment you shoot, instead of sitting on the memory card until later.
Traditionally
Tethering meant a USB cable to a laptop running capture software — mostly for studio work.
With CloudTether
Your phone or tablet is the tethering device. Connect your camera over a USB cable or over Wi-Fi, and every frame is detected and downloaded to the phone as you shoot, then delivered onward automatically.
Why tether?
- See and deliver photos in real time, not hours later.
- Back every shot up off the card as you go.
- Skip the end-of-day card copy.
CloudTether tethers Canon, Sony, Nikon and Fujifilm bodies over USB or Wi-Fi.
