Why tether to your iPhone

The tether is already in your pocket — nothing extra to carry.

Uploads over mobile data, so venue Wi-Fi never blocks delivery.

USB-C for speed, or the camera's Wi-Fi for cable-free shooting.

Every full-resolution frame to Dropbox, a client gallery, FTP and more.

One app across Canon, Sony, Nikon and Fujifilm.

Real-time off-camera backup of every shot.

How iPhone tethering works

1. Connect

Plug the camera into your iPhone with a USB-C 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 your iPhone.

3. Deliver

Each frame uploads to your cloud destination over mobile data, in the cloud within seconds of capture.

iPhone tethering FAQ

Can I tether my camera to my iPhone?

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

How do I connect a camera to an iPhone — cable or Wi-Fi?

Both. On USB-C iPhones a USB-C-to-camera cable connects directly (older Lightning iPhones need a camera adapter); or join the camera's own Wi-Fi for a cable-free link. CloudTether supports either and delivers each frame onward to your cloud destination.

Does it upload over mobile data?

Yes. Because the iPhone is the uplink, uploads run over its mobile data — so you deliver photos from a barn, a beach or a dead-spot venue without relying on local Wi-Fi.

Will it drain my iPhone battery?

Less than you'd expect — each photo uploads once and fans out server-side. A small USB-PD power bank comfortably covers a full-day shoot.

Does it work on iPad and Android too?

Yes — CloudTether runs on iPhone, iPad and Android, so the same workflow follows whichever device you carry.
