Ratings and Reviews
Good with Canon W-E1 Wifi Card
I’ve been using this app for macro focus bracketing with my Canon 7D2 via the W-E1 wifi card. The choice of 3 focus increments may be a little restrictive but it has been more than adequate for my purposes to date (with botanical subjects). Stacking the resulting images with Helicon Focus yields excellent results.
One issue is that with prolonged use, the app seems to lose its focussing functionality, but I strongly suspect that this is due to overheating of the wifi card, so I disable wifi in my camera when not actually shooting.
Powerful tool for Z6 and astrophotography
I bought this to control my z6 from iPad when on a tripod and taking long range images -terrestrial and lunar with 600mm manual focus. The app has a focus assist tool “focus peaking” which highlights the edges of the image and lets me get focus bang on. It’s a fabulous tool and I’m surprised it’s not mentioned on feature list.
Better than SnapBridge as you can still use all the on camera controls - which are disabled by snapbridge.
Negatives? ....was a bit fiddly to get connected with the camera WiFi. Instructions are none existent and nowhere did it say that I had to first change iPad WiFi to camera WiFi. Kind of obvious now, but tripped me up initially.
Also WiFi , as opposed to Bluetooth uses a lot of power. Make sure camera battery fully charged! Bluetooth option would be nice if it had enough speed and bandwidth.
Also the support site seems to be Facebook only. I don’t use FB!
But overall I love this app. Thank you for creating.
Z7 connection
I already have the Cascable app which works fine apart from the ability to zoom in, in live view, so I thought I would try this app.
When entering live view the zoom button appears momentarily but then disappointingly disappears and I can’t seem to find it! Everything is laid out well and there are lots of useful features; unfortunately there is another issue that is quite significant and that is in order to maintain connection the live view must also be on in the camera which will drain the battery, the Cascable app takes over from the camera live view so doesn’t have this issue
