Tethered shooting FAQ

What is tethered shooting?

Tethered shooting means connecting your camera to another device so each photo appears there the moment you take it — for review on a bigger screen, instant backup and, increasingly, live delivery. Traditionally it needed a laptop; CloudTether does it from your phone or iPad.

Can I shoot tethered without a computer?

Yes. CloudTether is a tethered-shooting app that runs on your phone or tablet — connect the camera over USB or Wi-Fi and every frame transfers to the device and to the cloud, with no laptop or desktop tethering software.

Is tethered shooting good for studio and product work?

It's where tethering earns its keep. Review each frame on a larger screen as you light and compose, keep an off-camera backup of every shot, and deliver selects to a client gallery in real time — all without a workstation.

Can a client approve shots as I shoot?

On Pro, a reviewer can approve or reject incoming frames before they fan out to a gallery, so only your selects reach the client — useful for art directors and clients reviewing on set.

Does tethered shooting work over USB and Wi-Fi?

Both. USB is the fastest, most reliable link for a fixed studio setup; Wi-Fi frees you to move. CloudTether supports either across Canon, Sony, Nikon and Fujifilm.
