Guangdong, CHINA—DECEMBER 18, 2018—CamFi, maker of wireless camera controllers, announced the release of CamFi Pro Plus today. This new product adds the wireless tethering feature for 500+ cameras, including Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fuji, Pentax and more. All DSLR cameras which support USB tethering can be supported by CamFi Pro Plus.

“This is a big step for tethering technology,” said Mark Ma, the CEO of CamFi Limited. “It will improve the productivity for the professional photographers greatly, without any study cost.” With wireless tethering, there is need for a USB cable to connect the camera and computer. CamFi Pro Plus also allows photographers to keep using familiar tools, such as Capture One, Lightroom, EOS utility, Sony Pixel and so forth, directly via WiFi.

CamFi Pro Plus adds the third party tethering service. It can send USB data to the client device directly through a WiFi connection. When a camera is connected with CamFi Pro Plus, the laptop which connects to it will act as if the USB device plugged into it directly. In tests, the maximum Wi-Fi speed can achieve 10M Bytes/second. For a 20M raw photo, for example, this translates into need only about three seconds to transfer with Capture One.
The third party tethering service of CamFi Pro Plus supports Windows and Mac. The price of CamFi Pro Plus is $339. It can be ordered via CamFi web site. All the existing customers of CamFi Pro can order the upgrade service for $40.

The new November 2018 data from CIPA has been released. And despite the latest Canon and Nikon mirrorless camera introduction the market still dropped 17% compared to November 2017. I don’t know how much longer companies can “survive” this trend…

DPReview TV: Sigma 70mm F2.8 DG Macro Art lens review

Anonymous: “Thought you might enjoy seeing this – a short film that I made for the RCMP and Canadian Forces, filming their “Toys for the North” cause with a Panasonic G9, 12-60mm f3.5-5.6 lens, on a PilotFly H2 for creating super smooth video! The G9’s Dual IS outperforms the GH5, so it’s one of the most stable filming platforms out there. Filming the day was like filming a wedding, but with much higher stakes and waaaaaay more intensity… but I had a blast! (4K): https://youtu.be/w67ar2W0M1Y Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! Cheers, Chris :)”
