Turn your iPhone or iPad into a wireless tether. CloudTether connects to your camera over a USB cable or the camera's Wi-Fi, catches every shot the moment you take it, downloads the full-resolution file, and delivers it straight to the cloud — no laptop, no card reader, no desktop tethering software. Shoot, and seconds later your photos are in the cloud, your client gallery, or saved right to your phone. Clients, editors and your team see the work as it happens. WHY PHOTOGRAPHERS USE CLOUDTETHER • Every frame, full resolution — RAW and JPEG, exactly as the camera recorded it. • Live as you shoot — captures upload automatically in the background. • No laptop — your phone is the uplink, so you're free to move. • Works anywhere — over your phone's mobile data, even in a dead-spot venue. CONNECT ALMOST ANY CAMERA Canon, Sony, Nikon and Fujifilm bodies — and many more — over USB or Wi-Fi. Pick your brand, choose your model, and follow the guided setup. YOUR DESTINATIONS, YOUR CHOICE Dropbox, Google Drive, Google Photos, OneDrive, Box, ShootProof, SmugMug, Photohawk, Flickr, Adobe Lightroom, Frame.io, Slack, Amazon S3, WebDAV, FTP/SFTP and more — or save originals straight to your phone in local mode. Never locked to a proprietary cloud. BUILT FOR REAL SHOOTS • Tether multiple cameras in one session. • Full-resolution RAW + JPEG, grouped together. • A live session gallery you can hand a client on the spot. • Reliable background uploads that resume if the connection drops. ONE SIMPLE PLAN CloudTether is a single subscription — everything included — and starts with a free trial. SHOOT TOGETHER AS A TEAM Invite a second shooter or your whole crew to a session and everyone's photos land in one place. An optional live team map shows where each shooter is in real time, so you can coordinate coverage and jump straight to a teammate's shots. Sharing your location is always opt-in. GEOTAG AS YOU SHOOT Turn on geotagging and CloudTether records a GPS track during the session, tagging every photo with where it was taken — even shots fired while your phone is locked or mounted to the hot shoe. — CloudTether is an auto-renewing subscription. • Free trial: 7 days, then $7.99/month (prices may vary by region and are shown in the app before you subscribe). • Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. • The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. • Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.
