Remote DSLR camera controller for Canon or Nikon DSLR camera over USB, tethered!

Features & Capabilities

TetherMonkey is a powerful Chrome extension that transforms your phone or tablet into a remote controller for compatible Canon and Nikon DSLR cameras via a tethered USB OTG connection. It offers extensive camera control including adjusting shutter speed, aperture, ISO, white balance, and focusing, plus live view for precise framing.

Beyond basic control, TetherMonkey includes advanced features like time lapse shooting, burst mode, live histogram, bulb shooting, and movie recording (Canon only for now). The pro version adds script building for automated control, focus stacking assist, photography calculators, bubble level, equipment inventory checklists, lighting diagram creator, and a built-in light meter tool.

Supported cameras cover a wide range of Canon and Nikon DSLRs with some limitations on live view and video recording depending on the model. TetherMonkey is ideal for professional photographers and enthusiasts seeking versatile, on-the-go DSLR camera control with enhanced creative tools.

User Reviews

The app shows mixed sentiment: a few users report success with Canon/Nikon cameras, but the majority cite persistent connection problems, heavy ads, and paid-wall limitations. Compatibility claims seem unreliable, and the app appears abandoned with little developer support.

Pros

Some users report it works with Canon cameras (e.g., Canon 7D, and mentions of Canon M50 in certain setups).
Occasional positive reports for Nikon cameras (e.g., D3200, Nikon 610/800 when connected).
Overall presence of a few positive, brief endorsements (e.g., 'Great', 'Nice app', 'Good').

Cons

Widespread connectivity failures (WiFi or USB) with many cameras; app often cannot connect or maintain connection.
Intrusive, full-screen ads that disrupt use.
Many features are locked behind a paid version; free version offers limited functionality and may mislead about available features.
Compatibility claims appear unreliable (some cameras advertised as supported do not connect, e.g., Canon M50).
Development appears inactive and support is poor (last update years ago, little to no refund/support response).

Recent reviews

I really would like this app to work. Tried several phones, Nikon 610 and 800. Different OPT cables. Sometimes the Nikon 800 conects but can not get live view to work. Would be happy to pay if it would work! Is anyone using this success fully?
