Remote Use With Stackshot Rail and an Android Tablet
Posted: 08.04.2016 14:34
Dear Stas,
A question if I may - I have had the Helicon Suite for a few months now and am happy with it - thank you guys very much indeed. I have been using Remote on a Nexus-10 tablet connected to my Canon 7D Mk-II with a 100mm L series macro lens.
However, I have now purchased a Stackshot Rail and Controller which I want to use with the Canon 7d Mk-II and a Canon MP-E65 lens along with the Nexus tablet. Reading the Cognisys website (https://www.cognisys-inc.com/how-to/sta ... onnect.php) it seems that Helicon software requires 2 USB cnnections (1 to the Rail Controller box and 1 to the camera) unlike Zerene wich uses one USB connection to the Rail Controller and a separate Shutter Interface cable from the Controller to the Camera.
This may be a problem for me as the Nexus-10 tablets only has 1 single micro-USB port. Does this mean I cannot use the tablet as a controlling device or can I use a splitter to provide 2 USB connections at the tablet ??? Is anybody else using an Android device with only 1 micro-USB connector along with a Canon camera and the Stackshot Rail and Controller ??
Many thanks for your help in this matter.
