\"\"<\/a>iPad photography options continue to evolve, and at this year’s PhotoPlus show, I saw the latest in tethering technology: Wireless tethering for the iPad.<\/p>\n

CamRanger<\/a>\u00a0gives you wireless control of your Nikon or Canon DSLR with any iOS device- iPad, iPhone or iTouch. It doesn’t require a computer or internet access, other than to download and install the CamRanger app<\/a> onto your device.<\/p>\n

With CamRanger, you get remote live view with touch focusing and full camera operation, movie recording, focus stacking, time lapse, HDR\/bracketing, image capture, full resolution viewing and saving of your images, and more. Operation is simple: You connect the stand alone device to your camera via USB cord, open the CamRanger app and you’re off and running.<\/p>\n

Operating distance on\u00a0CamRanger<\/a>\u00a0is about 150 feet, although it’s been shown to operate with slow connection at up to 300 feet. Battery life is about 3-6 hours. Price is $299.<\/p>\n

I got a chance to try CamRanger out at the show and it seems like a pretty cool option for a variety of applications, such as shooting location, macro, studio, still life, or photographing with complicated or remote setups.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The other system I checked out is TetherFly<\/a>, which is made by TetherTools<\/a>. This system also allows to wirelessly control your DSLR from your iPad, iPhone, Mac or Android device. TetherFly has a little bigger transmitter, but it has a hot shoe connector which lets you place it right on your camera.<\/p>\n

\"\"TetherFly has many of the same features, view, time lapse, HDR, rate\/tag images, self timer, bracketing, sharing, etc… There are also a number of cool Wallee connectors, stands and brackets<\/a> that are designed to hold your iPad or monitor for remove viewing.<\/p>\n

In this way, TetherFly seems like a great option for studio, location work or even teaching small groups. TetherFly costs $319 and will be available in mid to late November.<\/p>\n

Both CamRanger<\/a> and TetherFly<\/a>\u00a0are worth checking out if you want to incorporate your iPad even more into your photography workflow.<\/p>\n
