Tethering freeware for Nikon D800
Zang:
Hi,
Can anyone recommend a good software for tethering with D800 from an Windows PC or an Android phone?
Thanks,
Zang

Keep in mind that I'm somewhat frugal & hate smart phones.
I bought a 1st gen "CamRanger," at a thrift store, (didn't know what it was, but the instructions said Nikon D800.) It's a small, half the thickness of a pack of smokes & looks like it's made of the white plastic of the old apple, MacBook. USB3 cable from D800, into the white box. Setup was quite easy.
It works wonderful on a Droid and my ancient iphone

I also have that first-model CamRanger which I bought the moment that it was originally announced.
It's an extremely useful little gadget for all sorts of purposes — including using it as a cable-free "Tether" when shooting for a client who wants to see results during the actual shoot.
This is my walk-about camera-controller:
It lets me set all camera settings remotely from an iPad, fire the shutter and instantly review the result on the iPad; and sync the walk-about flash with any others which are synced to the camera.
You will most probably want to set the camera for RAW +JPG shooting.
My cameras have twin cards so I shoot RAW to one card; and JPG (to be used for the instant Preview on the iPad but later to be trashed) on my second card.
CR will also work from smart phones but I find their screens are too small to be useful for this purpose.

I have used digicamcontrol
a freeware program , the laptop connects via a usb cable to the camera

CamRanger looks pretty interesting. My quick search showed it is quite expensive!
