Tethered Shooting 40D in the studio

there is an old thread using this kit, the cables unlimited kit is no longer for sale though. i have one and it does work but two biggest strikes are it's kind of bulky with all the pieces and the need to power it somehow. and it does not work with macs.

It is currently offered on Amazon.com, and apparently a supply chain component was in short supply for a while, which explains the period where it could not be purchased.

I have been using an Active USB extension cable for years without any issue but as of late have been thinking of trying the USB to ethernet adaptors http://www.shop.tether​tools.com …-Cat6-Extender-CATEXT.htm also if you think you are going to be doing more tethered shooting I would suggest getting one of these http://www.shop.tether​tools.com …-Camera-Support-JS020.htm or make your own you just don't want it coming out in the middle of a shoot.

It did look bulky. Until I am sure that tethered is the way to go, I think I will opt for a cable...see how I get on.

Plug your standard Canon supplied cable into this repeater and you are set. I have used it for shooting video on the 40D with EOS Record.

I have seen something similar in the UK...that might be the thing. I have ordered a shorted, non-active cable just to try (only £1.50) and if it's something I'd like to explore further I will get an active cable.

I saw the ideas for stopping the cable tugging...Going to make sure that everything is tug-proof.

thanks all.
