Tethered Shooting

Postby marcotrov on Mon Sep 22, 2008 10:28 am

Hi guys am interested in purchasing a lead to shoot tethered with both my D300 and D200 (no not at the same time). Is there anyone who could advise on where and what brand is best to get? I also want something with a bit of length say 16 feet or so. I believe impedence or something becomes an issue after a certain length. I guess it will be USB connection.
cheers

Well guys bought the only one in stock at Photo Continental after a bit of research on the net it's from Bafo Technologies- here's the link

I will let you know how it goes. :) Apparently up to 40 feet signal strength uses cat 5 cable as main conductor. Seems like a lot of joining points but what the heck.
Also found this site with a guy for those that don't have or want Nikon Camera Control Pro. He has made a script to use to shoot tethered for anyone who wants to experiment.
Here's his initial thread on the forum (last one at the bottom of the page.

And here's the link to his home page to download the script
