Hello,

We've tried to make such an app, turns out it's impossible. There is a so called camera connection kit which contains a similar adapter for Apple devices (the one you've listed is for Samsung Android devices, so won't work with iPhone), but only Apple aplication can connect to the camera. USB interface is not exposed to third-party applications, Apple decided not to make it available.

Hello

I tried Helicon Remote app in OSX and this is wonderful. I wish to do it with my iPhone on the field. I found in eBay the following adapter:

So, I can connect my camera to my iPhone with this accessory and the camera cable. I wonder if you could do an application for iPhone which work with this kind of connectors.

Thank You for you response.

We're working on it right now. Any Mac OS / Windows / Linux computer or Android device with USB will be host, any other device that can run Remote and has wi-fi/cable network connection can be a client (iOS client also coming).

Why not use a client / server type configuration?
The HeliconRemote for Mac, Windows, Linux would be the host...
And then just use network location services (like Bonjour) and / or IP address in the mobile app that would then stream the video to the app from your host machine.
It would also allow settings changes, auto focus, etc.

Then you wouldn't need interface to the phone... just a USB cable to the computer to the camera.

Works great with the Samsung Galaxy Note . The Nexus 7 would be perfect for you.

Hello David,

The current version of Helicon Remote for Android supports tablets and phones alike. The requirements are USB host and Android 4.

It has been sometime since your last post so I am wondering if the Helicon Remote for Android is up and running? I believe you can use a USB host on the latest smartphones that are available in the market now. I am able to use it on tablets but the smartphone version would be simply cool.

No exact plans so far as to the phone version. My estimate - a few weeks

So, when will I be able to use Helicon Remote on a smart phone (with the usb host adapter) ? Is there any phone make and model that you would recommend ?

USB host adapter is a must, that is the only way to communicate with the camera.

As to smaller screens, we plan to do this optimization in the coming weeks.

What is your guess about Helicon Remote on Android 4.0 smart phones for the near future ?
Will it work with or without the usb host adapter ?
Are you able to adjust the gui to the smaller screens ?
If the above is possible, what timeframe would be realistic to expect ?

Thanks
Ragge

Yes, upgrade to Android 4.0 will help but only partially. We have not yet optimized application for small screen devices, till now it is targeted to tablets only.

Hello Stas, I also have been using HF for a few months with great success, but have had no joy with HR, EOS 7D and Windows Vista. I have a Samsung Galaxy S II and was hoping this might work with HR but Android Market indicates the two are not compatible. Will the March android O/S upgrade to Ice Cream Sandwich for Samsung Galaxy SII fix the issue?
Best wishes,
David
