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

Finicky, but an asset to me as a photographer and filmmaker. I always have a backup monitor in my pocket with full camera control. Integration with Magic Lantern or the ability to record directly to your android device would be amazing. False color or zebras would be big upgrades as well,but it's already a powerful tool without those features.. Most annoying thing about it is how slowly it pulls focus when prompted. The digital zoom also seems to randomly stop working, requiring restart.

Really good , just two things that Im not happy with , why are miliseconds used to calculate the time in the "Bulb" setting , its very easy to add or leave out a zero.! The other thing is in timelapse , the + and - on either side of the screen are mirror image , very difficult to get used to , it seems like it was done more for estetics than functionally ! But otherwise a very good app and well worth the money.

I love this app. The main thing in connecting the camera to the phone is to have good cable otherwise I'd won't work properly. It's lacking some features like adding a lut on the video to see how the video should look. And I thing the app should get redesign to a more modern style because it looks really old, like an Android 4 theme. I mainly use it with my 77D for focus peaking, it runs without problem until the cable disconnects. But overall good app!! Nice work.
