Ratings and Reviews
Working well with a Nikon D7500
Initially, Thus was a bit of a fiddle getting the app to recognise the camera over wifi. It did not auto detect the camera. Finally I added the camera manually, with its IP address and got it working. Connecting to the camera each time is very slow -at least 1 minute. But once it connects, it stays connected fine. I believe all these issues are with Nikon’s wifi chip/software, not the app.
once connected, using the app is very easy, focus shifting works well, live view on the iPhone screen is great. The app would crash if I set “Transfer photos to phone”, but works great if I have it at “leave photos on camera”.
Wi-Fi Connect Too Difficult
Linking my Canon R5 by Wi-Fi to Helicon Remote on my iPhone proved impossibly difficult. When this process is as simple as connecting, let’s say, Bluetooth headphones, it’ll be time to reconsider purchasing.
USB connection
I have used the PC version of this software and works great tethered through an usb connection, unfortunately wifi is just showing up in prosumers cameras, and no having USB connection make this software unusable to many people...I believe it is time for an update
