- My basic setup for top down shooting using Capture One Mobile for iPad to control my camera and to capture the shot, now with live view too. I use a small USB hub to connect power via a V-Mount battery, to both the camera and iPad as well as connecting the data cables for tethering and live view over the cameras HDMI port, connected into a small capture card that is also plugged into the usb hub.

great job on the video kim! the little capture card is a great life hack!
Thanks Tom, it’s even better with my 4k card but that’s a bit big in reality. Use it much more for viewing the camera that I though.
new video tomorrow too if you use CO mobile as hinted in the vid.
Excellent video! Does capture one on iPad allows to save photos directly on an external drive while tethering? As I'm assuming that one port on the USB dongle can be used to connect an external drive, something like the samsung T7. iPad memory can get full very quickly when shooting 100s of RAW photos for a commercial job, trying to figure out a solution for that..thanks!
I’ll load up a non beta version tomorrow and check but I think now you can finally. Will report back
So bad news, no is the short answer. You can't at the moment save directly to an external SSD through Capture One while tethering, only to device. It is something we asked about early on but no update yet is that will happen, I'll ask my contact to see whats up. I know Cascable allow setting or external storage to save to so it is possible. Best workaround in Capture One Mobile is to export originals after a session to an external SSD & you don't need to disconnect your camera, just select the images you want and export originals>Export & then pick save to files. There you will see any attached storage options. This works with a USBc hub. I guess you can then delete that images on your ipad to free up space as you need? I'd not be happy deleting anything before a solid backup is don't though so...
Ideally running the session to an external SSD would be great both for storage space and portability between location and studio for editing but thats in the future (hopefully).
Hi Kim, great video. I shoot a lot of products with a boom arm. I do recommend attaching a counter weight on the furthest tripod leg opposite the camera. I use gym arm bands that can be up to 1kg each get from Decathalon or alike. I'm a sucker for safety as many products I shoot are extremely valuable, so I always use a camera neck strap on the camera body and connect it to the boom arm using wire. That way if the camera did accidently fall of the tripod head it wouldn't fall onto the product. I find also geared tripod head with three way movement extremely helpful when shooting downwards. Also some zoom lenses do not hold their focal length when the barrel is pointing downwards. i also setup everything and test shoot before placing the product. I always shoot to a laptop, but curious how fast the RAW's import into the ipad when tethering. I'm shooting with GFX100s. I think a remote trigger is also useful in this situation.
Thought I mentioned a counter weight in the outside leg but perhaps not. That’s lots of extra helpful advice there, the more the better. The speed of transfer is good to the iPad Pro, almost instant from the GFX100s using my tether tools cable. The cameras usb port is 3.1 speed so much slower that the thunderbolt speed the iPad allows but still more than fast enough. And with live view you can trigger the shutter as well as change settings in the camera from the iPad. Nice.
See the next video for that live view in action.
Thanks man
Can I cap goodture 4k video this way as well?
Yea you can record with that app, for 4k your capture card will need to output 4k. That little one I was using there says 4k on it but it only outputs 1080. Have fun.
