About this app

TetherMonkey is a new and exciting app that lets you remote control and trigger your compatible Canon or Nikon DSLR camera from your phone or tablet with a tethered USB OTG (USB HOST) cable. See live view, adjust shutter speed, aperture, ISO, and more! If it's possible to remote control a camera setting over USB, it's possible with TetherMonkey! Turn your phone or tablet into a DSLR controller. But hold on. There's many more useful tools and features you won't find in any other DSLR remote control app! Check out those features below:

Remote Control
Control your compatible DSLR camera via a tethered USB connection.

Shutter Release*
Control and adjust almost all important settings such as but not limited to Shutter Speed, Aperture, ISO, White Balance, Picture Styles, Metering Modes; precisely control focus, and more!

Live View
See a live view of what your camera sees, on your connected phone or tablet. Great for precise, critical adjustments!

Time Lapse*
With TetherMonkey, taking time lapse photos is easier than ever! You can set your camera to fire automatically at any interval or speed that you set, and set how long you want it go. It will also calculate how long a time lapse video will be, with a FPS (frames per second) that you set.

Burst Shooting*
Set how many shots to take, and TetherMonkey will automatically fire your shutter that many times in a row.

Live Histogram
See a live histogram that updates automatically.

Movie Recording
Record video! Currently only supported on Canon cameras. We are adding movie recording for Nikon cameras soon.

Bulb Shooting
Shoot in Bulb mode! Currently only supported on Canon cameras that do not have a "B" setting on mode dial, and some newer Nikon cameras.

Script Builder*
In the pro version, you can create scripts to automatically control your camera! Create and save multiple scripts, re-edit them, and export them in .json format!

Focus Stacking Assist*
TetherMonkey has a unique Focus Stacking Assist tool, which allows you to automatically take a set number of photos with a variance in focus, so that you can stack them together later in post processing.

Calculators Galore*
11 photography calculators including exposure, hyperfocal, depth of field, flash range, field of view, time lapse, aspect ratio, print size, astrophotography, cost of doing business, and regular calculator.

Bubble Level
Need precise shooting? Use your mobile device as a live, accurate level.

Inventory Checklists*
Save your favorite photo equipment onto checklists sorted by gear category, so you never forget to bring them to your next photo shoot

Lighting Diagram Creator*
Create studio lighting setup diagrams so you never forget the perfect placement of your studio strobes!

Ratings and reviews

I was looking for some app that would allow me to use my phone or tablet as a field monitor. I came across this app in that search. It isn't quite a field monitor, but it is way better for my purposes. I wanted a tethered cable app to control my camera and to be able to see what I was setting up to photograph. My eyes are not what they used to be and the small screen on my camera and also the viewfinder image are too small for me to get my focus correct. It does all this and more. Very happy.

I know I wrote a poor review before, but that was wothout having all the facts. i got the right cables, MADR SURE THEY WERE RIGHT!!! and the app worked like a charm. it controls my camera and all thr basic controls (iso, shutter, etc etc). very happy with this.

It actually works with my EOS 100D, unfortunately it doesn't with EOS 6D mkII (but it's not supported so it's obvious). I'm willing to use it as a intervalometer to time lapse - I've tried with some cheap cables but never got good results. This small app seems to work flawless and thanks to it I can try with my old camera instead of tossing money on new one £10 is better deal than £1000 for second body. Fortunately I already have cable and it works on my old phone so it seems like a bargain.
