Thanks for the info Louis.
I¡¯ve ordered the TetherPro cable for my D810.
This got me to thinking about a friend who shoots a D300s and doesn¡¯t have lightroom who might be?interested in shooting some things tethered. In there case I see there are a few free software packages that may work. Does anyone have any experience with any of the free tethering software tools?
Thanks for everyone¡¯s input.

Hello, guys, and Happy Passover ( guess it is Passover for you soon). I have used the CamRanger (first version). It is very reliable and allows setting up certain specifications to your own liking for any device using internal Wifi. No cable is needed. No tripping, etc. In my case, I used a laptop to?connect my D810. However, the issue (the word problem is not the right word) is that sending a full RAW file would take up to 30 seconds. Or more. I adjusted the settings and shot RAW with a JPG small. This JPG small (instead of the full RAW) was sent over the Wifi connection to the laptop in around 10-15 seconds. Still to long for my liking that is why I gave up using the CamRanger after a few years.?
There is a new version of the CamRanger called version II. It seems to be much faster.?
There are other companies out there but I forgot the name.?
Hope this helps.

Sounds pretty cool!? I¡¯ve wanted to try this, but when it would have been the most use, I didn¡¯t have software that supported it.? I¡¯d love this when doing Macro work.? It makes me wish I had a proper studio to work in.

I am looking at the tetherpro cable with the right angle connector. I may order the cable with the USB-C connector for the laptop side.
