    A good hack, and thanks. Slightly off topic (my apologies) but what software do you use to tether to (not Lightroom and it feels kind of expensive to get Capture One just to capture tethers). Also what settings in the A7 III to allow you to easily switch to and from tether mode?

    Great video John. Do you think this will work on the A6500? I use it on a gimbal and I’ve broken the HDMI cable several times until I bought a half Cage for the A6500. This would be much lighter though

    John! I have burning question. Have you ever tried connecting the a7riii to an Android phone using an usb-C to usb-C cable? I was wondering if it could work as an external monitor but I don't have the cash to buy a cable that I don't know if it will work. I'll appreciate any information, thank you!

    Well, it's from three years ago and you found out already but for the benefit of anyone looking through the comments for this info. The answer is yes. It does work. There are two apps that I know of: Imaging Edge from Sony, which is free, and Monitor Plus.

    adventure_photo there’s a wireless tethering module, it’s called „Air Direct“. I reckon you can find it on the tether tools website in the menu via „Wireless Tethering“. But it costs about 350 Bucks, i guess

    NIce, but completly useless. Just use an angeled cable instead, much cheaper than that overpriced tethertool cable and sooo easy and reliable. It does not even bother you when you take the camera in you hand. (search for 5meter Quest2 cables)
