About

Templified Tether

Read full description

Templified Tether turns your iPhone or iPad into a tethered capture station for your USB camera, and it's part of Templified, the platform that takes your photography from studio to delivery. Connect a supported Canon, Nikon, or Sony body and every photo you capture flows straight into your Templified workspace: resized, tagged to the right subject, and uploaded automatically. Spotty Wi-Fi or slow cell? Uploads queue offline and resume on their own, so you never lose a frame. Then let Templified take it the rest of the way through your custom flows to one or many templates, all from one workspace. BUILT FOR THE FIELD • Live tethered capture over USB (Canon, Nikon, Sony) • Automatic upload to your Templified workspace • Roster-aware: assign each capture to the right team and player • Offline-first queue: keep photographing when the Wi-Fi drops • Review, retake, and pick the keeper on the spot Templified Tether requires a Templified account.
