hello,
i read older threads about helicon remote and the ipad ... are there any news for that? Since the iPad is wonderful hardware and has a great big screen it would be perfect to use it with helicon remote. So there would be no need to go out with my MacBook Pro and carry it around all day.
regards,
triple

Re: ipad
We are digging in this direction. There are two major obstacles: a) on iOS we can only use low level interface to camers which is not documented, b) use of USB on iPod is tricky if allowed at all.

Re: ipad
Right now we are testing iPad2 with Nikon cameras because Nikon has documented low-level API. I cannot give you exact time because many unexpected things may appear on our way.
Re: ipad
Don't forget the use of the stackshot in no camera mode. I would love to command the stackshot/motors direcly from the Ipad even without camera connected so maybe it's easier to do for you because it needs only the command part no picture part... and it seems that the stackshot is quite documented ...

Re: ipad
No news on iPad version, sorry. OS does not allow to use USB port to 3rd party applications. The only hope is the next (and more liberal) version of iOS. We published a beta of Android version already so you may try it right now.

Re: ipad
DSLR Remote does not work directly with the camera. You need a laptop with USB cable connected to camera. So iPad is wi-fi-connected to laptop, laptop usb-connected to camera.
Re: ipad
I too have an iPad2 and I agree it would be a great platform for this application.
It's really unfortunate that Apple have made this device so restricted - so many things get me gnashing my teeth and pulling my hair out.
I'm totally fed up with it, it's going to eBay soon, and will be replaced by an Android tablet. I have no idea if that will be any better, but at least Flash in a browser will work Oh - and Helicon Remote.
