P: Tethering to an iPad pro

Are they ever going to make it possible to tether to an iPad? I connected my z6ii to my iPad Pro last night the images come up really fast on the import screen you need to zoom to full size individually. This seems like the ability to tether to an iPad in Lightroom mobile would be a pretty simple software update fir Adobe. And a really awesome feature for us

Tethering an iPad to a camera would be a great feature. When shooting in the field, it would be much easier to mount and tether an iPad vs a laptop.

In the year of 2022 its time for Lightroom tethering on the iPad, yes?

Listen, I can use both Capture One or Lightroom. Capture One tends to be in the more pro studios, so I dont mind.

 

But. I'm really invested in the Adobe line of products and an avid user. I would like to be able to streamline my workflow even more. And the iPad COULD be such an incredible tool, if you just took the time. 

 

So, Capture One just proved that the iPad Pro is a very potent piece of hardware to be able to use tethering with. The results are amazing and blazing fast. I see no excuse for Adobe to be lesser in this field. This would probably fix the unfinished Lightroom Classic on the M1 mac to, since its working in rosetta mode when tethering. But this is not my field, I'm just guessing.

 

So, feel free to join us in 2022 with a more complete Lightroom App 🙂

Hello - I have an iPad Air 5th generation (with USB-C port) and a Canon EOS R camera.  When will the Lightroom App for iPad support WIRED tethered capture on the iPad app?  Capture One already has this feature, so I'm hoping I don't have to switch to get this feature.  Thank you.

Please Please Please! i dont want to have to buy Cascable or a subscription to Capture one just to wire tether to my ipad! I have faith that adobe just wants to do it right and are taking their time for that reason.

Good morning, just plain and simple I'd like to request a feature similar to what capture one just put out and be able to tether directly into my iPad using Lightroom mobile. If you add camera controls then you have them beat.

 

Thank you!

 

Best,

Would love to see a Wi-Fi based tethered shooting option for lightroom on my iPad Pro. With my Sony a7sIII, I can already tether-shoot wirelessly and instant-transfer the images with the Monitor+ app, I just need to then import them into lightroom. It would be nice if I could just do it all in Lightroom.

Actually, what would be better than a live-feed monitor would be something simpler like if Lightroom could connect to the camera with a QR code, so it can just do the instant file transfering to my iPad, so I can review/edit stills in nearly real time.

 

I know we still don't have tethered capture over USB on desktop yet, but it's fun to dream.

Tethered shooting straight into Lightroom on iPad would be great. Can you please add that? 

(Honestly it feels like Adobe never checks on this forum at all, so I'm not holding my breath. Looking for alternatives in the meantime instead)
