StreetKit tethers your Canon to your iPhone over a USB-C cable. Every shot lands on the phone the moment you take it. Show a QR code, they scan it, and the photos are theirs. You stop someone on the street, make the portrait, and hand them the photos before they walk off. No uploading later, no matching faces to names, no emailing each person one by one. HOW IT WORKS Plug in. A MagSafe mount on the hot shoe and one short USB-C cable. No laptop, no Wi-Fi, no Canon app. Shoot. Every shot lands on the phone as you take it, newest first. One group per person you stop. Show the code. Each group has its own QR code. They scan it with their camera app. Nothing for them to install. They download. Previews arrive in seconds. Full quality follows as the originals upload from your phone. Get their contact. They already have the shots. They leave an email, or sign in with Google, so you can send the edits later. WHAT YOU GET Seconds, on the spot. The photo is on their phone while you are still talking. Nothing to do later. The sharing is done when the walk is done. No mix-ups. One group and one code per person, so the right photos go to the right person. Every shot on your phone. Each one is copied to the phone and your Photos library before you take the next. WHO IT IS FOR If you shoot for the love of it, a camera is a reason to say hello, and a photo in their hand ten seconds later is a reason for them to remember it. If you shoot for a living, everyone you hand a code to learns your name. The ones who leave an email want to hear from you, and each contact stays next to the photos it came from. WHAT YOU NEED A Canon camera that connects over USB. Built and tested on the EOS R3, with more bodies on the way. An iPhone with USB-C, and a short USB-C cable. STREETKIT PRO StreetKit is a subscription. The first 3 days are free. After that, StreetKit Pro is $5.99 a month or $59.99 a year, billed to your Apple Account, and it renews until you cancel in Settings > Apple Account > Subscriptions, at least 24 hours before the period ends. Pro is the whole app: the Canon tether, the QR codes, and 100 GB of cloud storage for full-size shots.
