Ratings and reviews

Great app. Just learn how to use and configure it - read the docs on the author's website - before you get frustrated and leave a bad review. I've used qDslrDashboard with various Android devices and Canon cameras over the years. Anytime there's been a problem, it's ended up being a hardware issue - such as a bad USB cable or weak Wi-Fi signal - and not a problem with the app itself. If you need help, ask on the forums.

Outstanding app! Worth every penny! With a simple usb tether, I can EASILY control my Nikon D600 used for video creation. I set my camera on a tripod, auto-focus, record me - simply- without a second person. White Balance, f/stop, shutter, ISO, exposure controlled from my phone which also doubles as a monitor. Compete game changer. I can see myself using it for long exposures and macro work as well.

It mostly does the job. When bracketing it can't handle long exposures (and long processing times) and gets confused. Often seems to randomly change the exposure on Sony camera. Stopped working with Sony a6000 and a6100. Still connects and can do live view but can't shoot after latest update. Used to be able to save bracket profiles. The dialog comes up and you can enter a name for it, but it doesn't save.
