Anyone using any camera control apps?

[bass_junkie83]

I just picked up a new nexus 10 which is proving to be a little bit awesome.

I was thinking of trying one of those camera control apps, not really sure why, guess I just want to see what 10" live view looks like.

Has anyone used any and which ones did you like?

I've used one called Helicon remote. It's barely used. More of a fad. Might be worth while in the winter, means I can sit in the warm summer shed and take photos of birds

Sorry to hijack - anything good on iPad? Would be nice to use it as a video recording LCD, etc.

Or was android a better way forward?

I use this one http://dslrcontroller.com/ on android phone and tablet when I am using a TS-E lens

Thanks guys, I shall look into those.

Not sure about the iPad, but I don't think that it is possible. It's one of the (small) reasons that I decided to stick with android.

I also have DSLRController, but apart from a quick trial when I bought it I've never made use of it. Nothing wrong with the app, but I haven't yet found a need for it in my daily life.

For those using DSLRController, what cable do you use?

I got it ages ago, but can't find a micro-usb to mini-usb cable to go from my phone to the 7D.
Are you all using it wirelessly?

You need an otg cable about two pounds of amazon

Never heard of OTG before - assume I can back a card-reader in it and use my Note II as a back-up?
