Give Your DSLR a Brain by Connecting an Android Phone
For anyone with or thinking about upgrading to a DSLR, you have got to read this. Tethering just got cheap and simple. I bought a laptop for it. Wireless transfer goes with the Android instead of a $1200 accessory for us Canon EOS fans.
Here’s a walkthrough of how I hooked up my Android phone to my DSLR. Why did I do this? Because of Dropbox, social media, quick editing for the web, an intervalometer, macro/low-angle photography, an external LCD screen for video, Wi-Fi, and more.
Here’s what you’ll need to get started:
An Android phone with USB OTG (USB host) capabilities
A USB OTG cable
A Canon or Nikon DSLR
CamCap and DSLR Controller (paid apps)
