[aramkiam]

Could you make a video on how to tether a camera?

[elizabethsagarminaga]

I was waiting for the teather which usb cord exactly and how do you plug things in

[steveInman]

WOW you are smart.. how do you learn and remember so much ? man i wished i knew all that. i have watched a lot of your videos because i really got interested in buying a full frame camera but the more i watch you the more i realize how much there is involved. you do a great job

I think the title should be my studio tethering setup this answered no questions at all lol

[yeseniasplace]

Love your videos! An absolute wealth of information. Thank you so very much for all your help. Im in the process of building my home base studio right now. I do need to find out what type of grey backdrop do I need. If you have a video you can suggest please do. Thanks again. Oh and I love your Richard Gear smile when your laughing. cute haha

This has to be one of the best organized and easy-to-understand videos I have ever watched! Very useful and will definitely subscribe. Thanks a lot!

Can you suggest a good and safe software to download for a Nikon CoolPix p530? I'm trying to use my laptop as an external moniter for the camera. I had bought an HDMI cord to connect to the laptop but the laptop isn't registering the camera. :/

Tony. Would it be good idea to update this video as new wifi cards have improved a great deal, and tethering with a cable can be a pain in the neck .It is very easy to trip over the tether cable and pull out your connection that might cost a great deal to repair your equipment. I would really like someone to make a video showing new ways to connect the camera to a laptop without using the cable method. Without using the hot shoe as my godox trigger sits on this to control the studio lights

I’ve said this on pretty much every social medium, you guys are perfect and awesome in every way. Thank you for everything.

[hargraveben]

tony that video didnt actually say how to tether?

[alpenwasser]

Very nice setup you got there.

Side note for the probably very small amount of people who are both into Linux and photography: I've had good results with Darktable and tethering my Canon. As long as your camera is supported by the libgphoto2 library it should work if I'm not mistaken. Probably not something you'd use if you earn your living with photography, but for me as a hobbyist it has yielded good results and allowed me to combine two of my interests (plus I don't need to set up a Windows install just for photography stuff).

This is quite an old video. But having just found it, I am AMAZED at the number of people who don't know how to plug in the two ends of a cable. And get this, you troubled folks, not every camera has the same kind of USB port on it. And not all computers have the same kind of USB ports on them. (Which we would be evident if you even listened to what Tony says.) SO there is no way Tony could tell you "what kind of cable you need", except that, it needs to link two USB ports. So it's a USB cable, Doh!! If someone doesn't figure out they need to find a USB cable that connects THEIR computer to THEIR camera, I think they are going to get little help out of this video. And those complaints that he's not providing any information or that insulting "just a salesman not a photographer" .. .these are just so blind lame and ignorant. The guy is easily confirmed to be a highly competent photographer. And he's giving a lot of real world information about what he finds works best, and what doesn't, including what kinds of gear is best for these purposes (e.g. not just a tripod by a seriously heavy one; not just a monitor but a hgih-resolution monitor, not just a mouse but a mouse with a wheel, etc.) and showing what the advantages of tethering are. (I was hoping to find a video on wi-fi tethering. But that's a different thing.)

Nice commercial, nothing about how to tether!!!

[aaza]

I stopped half way through... you did not deliver on how to tether Tony. Pity

[r.lemmons]

Probably could've figured out how to tether it on my own before this video was finished. Worthless.
