I know tethering is great for studio work.?

I have an opportunity to do a shoot for a friend and want to be able to display images as they are captured on a TV attached to the HDMI port on my laptop (windows 11) to allow us to critique it as well as review aspects we want to change.

The 810 does not have Wi-Fi capability so I am likely looking at a wired option unless there are ?workable options that won’t break the bank so to speak.

What are the experiences of the group with this tethering??

Any recommendations or should I stick to frequent breaks and import the card from the camera?

Regards,

Jon

I connect my 810 to my laptop with a tether cable, using LR on my laptop.

Seamless and puts the image file into the folder you select in LR.

I have a D500, and assume it has the same connection on the camera body as the D810. I tried a cheap usb but it didn’t connect reliably. So went with the orange cable from TetherPRO. No issues, solid as a rock

Is it just a long simple usb cable?

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.

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.
