Amazing app

This app is amazing, I’ve been waiting for years for such solution because when shooting outside, it’s always a hassle to deal with a 5 meters long cable linked to a macbook which needs its own tripod/sunhood solution. Now I’m working either with a phone or a tablet and life on shoot has never been so good as I don’t have to carry tons of gear with me.

The only major improvement I’m looking for is the ability to load my customs XML filters/presets from Lightroom into the app so when my phone/tablet receive the pictures, the filter is automatically applied to them.

After talking to the support, they’ll look into it but can’t confirm it yet

Overall, this is a really good app with my Canon R6 MKIII

Super Happy...

I've been looking for a reliable wireless tethering solution for a very long time, and this software has finally solved the problem for me.

I shoot a lot of architecture and interiors, where I need to move away from my Nikon Z9 with my iPad and check the composition live. Unfortunately, the Z9's built-in Wi-Fi has always been too slow and frequently disconnects, which makes it difficult to use for a professional workflow.

I also tried using Cascable with the Z9's STA mode, but unfortunately, I couldn't get it to connect. The AP mode worked, but the camera's built-in Wi-Fi performance wasn't good enough for the kind of live, remote composition checking I need.

I had even started thinking about building my own solution. Being an engineer, I was exploring different wireless modules and networking solutions, although I'm not particularly good at coding.

Then I found this software.

I immediately tried it with my Nikon Z9 and iPad, and it worked incredibly smoothly. I tested it with the camera and iPad approximately 15 feet away from the router, and the connection remained stable and responsive. The live view was smooth enough for my actual architectural and interior photography workflow.

Honestly, I don't have enough words to describe how happy I was to finally find a solution to a problem I've been trying to solve for so long.

What impressed me most is that this doesn't feel like a workaround. It feels like the proper professional wireless tethering solution I had been looking for.

I'm assuming the developer is also a photographer and faced the same problem, because this feels like a solution created by someone who actually understands the workflow.

Thank you so much for building this and, more importantly, for making it available to photographers. You've solved a problem that I've been trying to solve for a very long time.

너무 편하고 좋네요

써본 테더링 앱 중에 가장 빠릅니다. 사진도 빠지는거 없이 잘 수신되네요.

Not interested

Not interested to try a new app with its pro and cons, if it doesn’t provide at least some basic features with a one time payment, or even for free.
3,99€ subscription is a lot, I don’t even want to test it.

현존 최고의 무선테더링앱

니콘z8 처음 연결시 사용법이 이해하기 어려워 제미나이에 물어가며 바디에서 pc연결 & 앱에서 와이파이 직접 연결 조합으로 안정적인 연결 및 전송 확인했네요. 속도 최고입니다. 좋은 앱 만들어주셔서 감사합니다. P.s. Threads에서 보고 왔어요 ☺️

Response from developer

과찬이십니다 :) 카메라 와이파이보다 아이폰에서 핫스팟을 켜시고 카메라를 핫스팟에 연결해 보세요 더 빠를겁니다 :)
