    Been wanting to tether my sony A7rii for a while shooting food in restaurants, can it be done to a tablet rather than a laptop?

  • @Tethertools
    @TethertoolsКүн бұрын

    Tethering to a tablet is possible, though there are fairly limited options to do so. The Sony a7R II is listed as compatible for Cascable (for IOS) and Capture One Mobile.

    Wouldn't all of that metal cause magnetic interference with a drone? I get a magnetic interference from concrete sometimes.

  • @Tethertools
    @TethertoolsКүн бұрын

    This is a (relatively) small piece of aircraft aluminum which should not produce any magnetic interference that would affect a drone.

    Can you please make tutos on new features of SS5 and what new Sony LV feature of LRC integrates with SS5 ?

    We appreciate your feedback. We are always looking for opportunities to create new tutorials, so we will definitely keep that in mind. In the meantime, many of the new features are addressed in specific tutorials centered around new features. You can find those tutorials here: kzread.info/head/PLjBWE90Quu08mebeBITbKN7swTN9X6CXq&si=CJmgIeFTswVfScQK The Smart Shooter 5 Lightroom Classic Plug-In does allow for any supported camera to be controlled in Lightroom Classic. However, the Lightroom Classic framework does not currently allow for Live View to be passed into the tethering interface. Therefore, we recommend switching back over to Smart Shooter 5 while the session is running in Lightroom Classic in order to view Live View from the camera. You can seamlessly switch between Lightroom Classic and Smart Shooter 5 while tethering - both pieces of software will stay 'synced-up' with the camera. Hope that helps! Thanks again for the feedback.

  • @Tethertools
    @TethertoolsАй бұрын

    We are sorry to hear you are experiencing connection issues. It is possible that there is another piece of software that is intercepting the communication between the camera and the tethering software. To avoid this issue, be sure that all other applications are closed and there is no software running in the background. In particular, please be sure that Google Drive and Dropbox are not running in the System Tray / Menu Bar. If you are attempting to use the Lightroom Classic Plug-In, please quit Lightroom Classic until you see the camera in Smart Shooter 5. Once the camera is available, please launch Lightroom Classic and initiate the tethered session. If you continue to experience issues with the connection, we would be happy to look into this further. To do so, please reach out to [email protected].

    So, it is imperative to install smart shooter in order to use any sony camera wih Lightroom Classic?

  • @Tethertools
    @TethertoolsАй бұрын

    Thanks for the question. Lightroom Classic just added support for a few Sony cameras, so your camera may be supported in the newest version of the software. You can find that information here: helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-classic/kb/tethered-camera-support.html Smart Shooter offers expanded compatibility as well as more features and control over the camera. Therefore, if you would like to take advantage of the additional features that Smart Shooter 5 offers and/or your camera is not supported in the latest release, then Smart Shooter 5 is your best option. You can download and use a free 30-day trial of the Smart Shooter software. The trial is an unrestricted version of the software and allows full access to all the software features during the trial period, including the plug-in. You can download the trial from the Smart Shooter 5 Product Page on our website: tethertools.com/product/smart-shooter/ Please note that you should keep Lightroom Classic closed until you have successfully connected the camera to Smart Shooter 5. Please feel free to reach out to [email protected] with any questions.

    very disapointed of SS5 I purchased based on V4 live view... tutos. The loupe,... of SS5 is not as easy to use as V4. No tuto about V5 in the past. Live view for sony under LRC still not possible. Waiting for a better V6, I switched to expensive Capture one which is amazing. I don't understand why TetherTools team, having all features working, doesn't simply copy the interface, workflow and features of C1.

  • @Tethertools
    @Tethertools2 ай бұрын

    We are sorry to hear you are having trouble with Smart Shooter 5. Live View will work with all compatible Sony cameras. Lightroom Classic does not allow software to pass Live View in via a Plug-In - this will be true for any compatible camera using the Plug-In Therefore, to View Live view, you can switch back to Smart Shooter 5 to enable and view Live View. Naturally, if you have any other issues or questions about the software, please reach out to our Tech Support team at [email protected].

    Great video, thanks for the input can we use d-tap to ac adapter to power a 200W light eg; zhiyun molus g200 using a v mount battery? Would appreciate your response ✨

  • @Tethertools
    @Tethertools3 ай бұрын

    The D-Tap to AC Power Supply will be about to output up to 85W when connected directly to a D-Tap plug in the battery. When connected to a V-Mount accessory that has independent D-Tap plugs, the output will increase up to 120W. If connected to an AC Power Supply Car Adapter (12V Lighter Socket), output will increase up to 200W. Please keep in mind that continuous power consumption at or near the maximum output can trigger temperature circuit protection in either the battery or the AC Power Supply. Therefore, we recommend continuous power consumption well below the maximum output for the setup. Hopefully that information is helpful.

    We are sorry to hear you are having issues with several features in Smart Shooter 5. We have responded to the email you sent to [email protected]. To summarize the response here: There are no known issues with connecting the Sony a7 IV. The trial software is unrestricted and provides access to all the features available in Smart Shooter 5. Some Sony camera + lens combinations will not produce a noticeable change when using the "Small" focus adjustment, but the "Medium" and "Large" focus adjustments should work without issue. If you continue to experience any issues, please respond to the email so that we can troubleshoot the issue further. Hopefully that information is helpful.
