I really hope they see this, or if anyone with knowledge of it know, but
What flash is he using? I know he has two that communicate with the transmitter on the camera but what is he usingm
Fantastic tutorial 🙂
one of the best tutorial. Thank you
Excellent Video better than these 1-Million- subscriber YouTubers!
I really appreciate the vide however, why does everyone leave out some very very very important info: when you’re tethered, can you shoot with live view on the camera? Can the computer see a live view? Otherwise, how can you frame the shot? I know you can look through the viewfinder but what if you’re shooting an overhead shot looking down and you have your camera suspended from a C stand. How can you frame your shot? Is there no life view available when you are tethered??????

This is the best tutorial Ive seen. No fluff. just straight to the info. Thanks guys.
Wrong. No foundation you mentioned. If you connect your dslr to your laptop, laptop shows you a folder that you can see what pictures and videos you have. Now, in this video, you are using some kind of program on PC and you never mention it. Wtf?)
Fantastic tutorial, thanks for posting!
Fell asleep watching this…
Thanks for the video, how do you show the menu button options of the camera on the computer?
I need help. I am trying to connect my nikon 7200 to my lightroom and the lightroom is not reading the nikon. Why?
good video! Capture One is much faster for import… i use both… LR is just about unusable for tethered shoots.
thanks helped me with tethering to lightroom
I, what if I'm shooting a tabletop and I need to be able to use the live view from the screen also? This can be done?
Thanks for anyone who could help me!!!

Thank you! I'll go look for the cord today!
Great for students to know how to tethering
Complete guide for beginners. Although the majority of information was not new to me (I am a hobby photographer) I found this guide super clear and helpful for people who might just be starting out, I picked it up in the promo period and think this is an excellent place to start, you'll learn about positions, video settings and the basics around DSLR cameras. https://plus.google.com/b/117576921052578751760/117576921052578751760/posts/Fk3sfQJu8AY
