DSLR Controller

About this app

DSLR Controller was the first and remains the best app to fully control your Canon EOS DSLR from your Android device, through USB cable or Wi-Fi connection. No computer or laptop required, no root required, only a compatible mobile device, a compatible camera, and if connecting through USB, the right cable.

We strongly suggest you read up on the website ( http://dslrcontroller.com/ ) about what DSLR Controller can do, how it works, and how to use it, before purchasing. The website contains a wealth of information you should know before using.

Not all devices are compatible, especially if you want to use a USB connection. For a free app you can use to test compatibility, see the "Remote Release" app ( http://market.android.com/details?id=eu.chainfire.remoterelease ). If you need a refund, go to our website ( http://dslrcontroller.com/ ) and follow the instructions in the FAQ entry. We cannot process refunds through email.

Usage notes, feature lists, device compatibility lists, changelogs, FAQs, can all be found on our website: http://dslrcontroller.com/

Ratings and reviews

i LOVED this software, i think its the most useful and best app on the entire google play. in the past 10 months it started having intermittent connection problems with a 7D and then stopped seeing the camera altogether. i replaced cables, tried older phones, same thing. i thought maybe its a port on the camera but then it works perfectly connected to a laptop. 6D mkii has same issues, cant see on USB, wifi conects only the first time and never reconnects. its a shame as canon's original connect is garbage, and this was THE solution, i would actually pay 10x the price for this software if it worked the way it used to about a year ago. to the developer: if you have a way to contact me for specifics, i'll be happy to provide any details you might require.

Really like this app! the only thing I would suggest is it needs a trial or free version ........ when I first paid for it, I couldn't get it to connect, so I refunded it ........ after trying others I didn't like, I looked up vids on troubleshooting the connection, re-purchased it and figured it out. would have been nice to had time to figure it out the first time, then purchased it.

I wasn't sure if this app would work on my 6d running magic lantern for raw video recording. Unfortunately it did not which I wasn't surprised about, however the app it's self performed really well. No latency between the camera and my phone via usb. All the functions seemed to work well and the image was crisp. Android alerted me it may not be compatible with my newer note 20 there was no issues. Just not for what I want.
