How wireless tethering works

1. Connect over Wi-Fi

Join your camera's own Wi-Fi (PTP/IP) or put both on the same network. CloudTether pairs and opens a tethering session — no cable required.

2. Just shoot

Every time the shutter fires, the new full-resolution file — RAW or JPEG — is detected and pulled across automatically.

3. Delivered live

Each frame uploads to your destination in real time, so images land in the cloud within seconds of capture.

Wireless tethering FAQ

What is a wireless tethering app?

A wireless tethering app connects your camera to a phone, tablet or computer over Wi-Fi instead of a cable, so photos transfer automatically as you shoot. CloudTether goes a step further than on-device review: it delivers every full-resolution frame straight to the cloud or a client gallery in real time, from your phone.

Which cameras support wireless tethering?

Most modern Canon, Sony, Nikon and Fujifilm mirrorless bodies (and many recent DSLRs) support Wi-Fi tethering over PTP/IP. CloudTether connects to the camera's own Wi-Fi or a shared network — check your exact model on the cameras hub.

Is wireless tethering as reliable as a USB cable?

USB is faster and more reliable for high-volume, fixed-position work like studio shoots. Wi-Fi frees you to move around at weddings and events. CloudTether supports both, so you can pick per shoot — or fall back to USB when you need maximum speed.

Do I need a laptop for wireless tethering?

No. CloudTether runs on your phone or tablet, so the camera tethers directly to the device in your pocket and uploads over its own mobile or Wi-Fi connection — no laptop, no tether cable to a computer, no desktop software.

Where do the photos go?

Wherever you choose — Dropbox, Google Drive, SmugMug, ShootProof, an FTP/SFTP server, an S3 bucket, or your phone's photo library. On Pro, one shot can fan out to several destinations at once.
