How iPad tethering works

1. Connect

Plug the camera into your iPad's USB-C port with a cable, or join the camera's Wi-Fi (PTP/IP). CloudTether opens the session.

2. Shoot

Every capture is detected automatically and the full-resolution file — RAW or JPEG — transfers to the iPad.

3. Deliver

Each frame also uploads to your cloud destination in real time — big-screen review and live delivery at once.

iPad tethering FAQ

Can I tether my camera to an iPad?

Yes. CloudTether runs natively on iPad — connect your Canon, Sony, Nikon or Fujifilm over USB-C or Wi-Fi (PTP/IP) and every shot transfers to the iPad and on to the cloud as you shoot. No laptop, no desktop tethering software.

How do I tether a camera to an iPad — USB or Wi-Fi?

Both work. A USB-C cable from the camera to the iPad is the fastest, most reliable link; the camera's Wi-Fi frees you from the cable. CloudTether supports either, and delivers each full-resolution frame onward to your cloud destination.

Do I need a special adapter to tether to an iPad?

Modern iPads have a USB-C port, so a USB-C-to-camera cable connects directly. For Wi-Fi tethering no cable is needed at all. Older Lightning iPads need a USB-C/Lightning camera adapter.

Is iPad tethering good for studio and on-location work?

The bigger iPad screen is great for reviewing shots on set, and because CloudTether also delivers every frame to the cloud or a client gallery in real time, the same setup covers studio review and location delivery.

Does it work on iPhone and Android too?

Yes — CloudTether runs on iPhone, iPad and Android. The iPad just gives you the largest screen to work on.
