How to Tether Your Camera To A Computer

[@DouArtShi]

Been using Capture One Pro since version 7 (now 12). I love seeing and knowing pros that I trust using it as well. Thanks, Miguel. You always kill it.

[@user-gg7gs3ec9o]

This is by far the BEST VIDEO explaining a step by step on how to. Thank you!!!! This was so good.

[@corporatecluster8704]

I will give you just 99.99% marks to 100.One of the best tutorial i saw after long time.Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@chriswilko18]

Two things. Firstly, I FRICKING LOVE YOU. I have a lot of respect for creators that aren't obnoxious "WHAT'S UP KZbin, ITS YA BOI!" creators. It's nice to find a photography channel that isn't someone reciting a load of crap pretending they know what they're talking about. Second. I FRICKING LOVE THAT DBZ SHIRT! If I could only wish Shenron to make KZbin a better place. 😂

Thank you so much for the feedback! 😁✌️

[@kanitdechkhum1690]

I don't care about teathering I care about your DragonBall shirt lol love your channel . thank you for your hard work man.

I had just got my T7 I could not think of why I could not connect to my comp lol I never thought of turning the Wi-Fi off lol. When I started breeding snakes I watch young kids who built their own cages and setups and taught me a lot also. Keep it up nice job.

I just started my subscription to capture one, it's gonna be a learning process I've been used to Lightroom for quite a while

[@teejay2483]

Thanks Miguel for your clear explanation and comprehensive demonstration.

[@markp2085]

I always tether with my product photography. It is a game changer.

[@snyderkr0822]

I just got Capture One so I could shoot tethered with my Sony a77ii. This was very helpful.

[@Edgartripp]

Can you still edit on Photoshop & Lightroom?

[@snyderkr0822]

@@Edgartripp I abandoned CaptureOne because I couldn't get it to work consistently so I'm back to not being tethered. My PS is CS4 so there is no tethering, and my main software, ON1, doesn't tether with Sony.

[@gtsewell77]

Wow Miguel, that really sorted me out, I didn't have the right settings on my camera because I'd been using the camrote app, once I reset those I was able to tether fine with C1 and my new USBC cable! Thanks again!

[@ml8561]

Exactly what I am looking for, great content!

[@andrefelixstudio2833]

Great video on the subject. Yes you can do this with Adobe Light room guys but I find that Capture One is a bit faster. Capture One also have a way for your clients to review images on there iPad or phone which also keeps a client from being to close to you on set. They can sit back a see the images as you take them. I don't think it will make your photography any better but it will let you look at a bigger image which should help you see what your lightning looks like so you can make better changes on set. Its a good product! Trust me I am a pro and shoot for a living!

[@avafsbc4175]

Is there any advantage to using a tethering cable over tethering over wifi? Does it produce better image quality? Great video! Thanks!

[@MiguelQuilesJr]

Thank you! Image quality will be the same, but the cable tether will transfer large images much faster and prevent causing a bottle neck while you're shooting. Wifi still has a ways to go to make it a viable option over using a cable.

Hey Miguel, what size tether cord do you use? 6 ft? 10 ft? 15 ft?

[@onefreddymorales]

great video , I have a question, do you know how to charge the camera and tether at the same time?

[@abk9522]

Thanks lot for introducing the software!

[@saelnosa]

How do you connect your camera with the computer, so you can see live how you're doing (For when you're taking pictures of yourself)? Is this the way? And if so, can you click on the computer and make it take the pictures, or do you have to run back and forth? - And yes. I am beginner.

[@lakeishamcbride3340]

This is my question as well

[@Southlander1000]

Do you tether when you're on location, say in a park or some similar location? If so, do you carry spare batteries for your computer, or do you plug into an external portable power source?

[@vanessapalmer2211]

My Canon won’t work if the memory card is in it. It saves all files to Capture One but I don’t have a card in my camera . This makes me nervous. Is Capture One safe to save without a card in camera?

Can you recommend, where I can get the teather cable and cable jerk?

[@matthewwilson228]

I’m a hobbyist photographer so who is capture one actually for or should I keep using Lightroom and photoshop?

[@hartgetzen7867]

Nicely done! Very helpful.

[@emilieiggiotti]

What is the thing that secures the cable? do you have a link for that?

[@marclabro]

great video. I am confused with AF button. I have a a7rv with 24-70 gm2. In a livestream, david Grover says that AF button doesn't work with Sony. For still photo, Do i set my camera to manual focus or AF-S with single point ? a pity we don't see in live view the focus point of sony camera. For portrait, just AF-C with eye detection so sure eye will be accurate ? more tuto on tether in practice with focusing are welcome.

[@williefufu2985]

I will try this later today, thank you.

[@detroitcommercialphotovide148]

Excellent video! I'm doing at least 80% of my work tethered. I'm using an old Canon 30D & Canon 5d MARK II depending on the job. All of sudden both Cameras do NOT want to tether to my HP laptop. I have changed batteries, put on a new Tether Pro cable (never used), tested the cameras work, everything seems to work but either camera will connect to the computer! Any Suggestions?

[@MiguelQuilesJr]

Thanks for watching! Have you tested the USB ports to confirm if they work with other devices? Also, does the computer make any sounds when you plug the camera in and turn it on?

[@detroitcommercialphotovide148]

@@MiguelQuilesJr Thanks for the input. No the computer does not seem to make any sound. The ports have always worked before on the computer but i did try different ports. The only thing else i can add at this point is the cameras seem to do continous buffering as soon as i start tether capture. I am going to try the Canon EOS software in a few minuites to see if that works.

[@abidnego5974]

ive wondered about tethering for a while now. i have used LR for many years and still run 5.71 (my wife and daughter got the 2 licenses on LR6!) and ive not been able to justify springing for a perpetual subscription on LR. so I went with a purchase (yeah i know the upcoming pitfalls) for Capture One. my laptop, really is HD-challenged. I wish it had a couple of TB of HD but being SSD, theyre not very big. i currently download my cards to a portable HD that i plug in. here is my question: can i tether directly to my portable HD? it would be much more convenient than trying to shoot and save on the computer, since the images would all have to be moved (negating any workflow savings) of saving on the computer... also ive thought about just picking up a tablet to use as a 'big monitor' for the client to see, while saving to my memory cards. i dont see where most android tables have more than just the standard 'charging' port. do you know of any that have auxillary or extra ports for use as a monior?

[@faezfansoeri7937]

You can if you shoot with a camera that's compatible.

A capture card still won't work. Tethering is about being able to import your photos as you take them. All a capture card will allow you to do is to maybe view the what your camera can see on your Mac. If you just bought it and can return it there are a few options in the same price range that allow tethering.
