Hi I need to have an event setup where I have two laptops approx 50m apart connected via ethernet cable. On laptop A i will tether my camera (Nikon D600) via usb. I propose to send the tethered shots directly to the drive on laptop B so they can be printed by the operator there. I set this up using the Tether capture settings on A and then have LR on laptop B auto import from the watched folder which is now on it's own local drive. On a short test this seems to work and gets past the issue of not being able to watch a folder on a network. What I mean is having the tether capture folder on laptop A and trying to auto import to B where you will get the "watched folder not on network"issue. This also allows me to monitor the images on Laptop A. My question is does anyone know if this will prove to be unstable over the course of a month. I have searched and have not found any information on this type of setup so I do not know if it is known or not. Or does anyone have an alternative solution. I can obviously use USB extenders over cat6 cable to get round the issue but will not have monitor capabilities at the laptop A point unless I use HDMI extenders and another cat6 cable to utilise the second display function in LR. Thanks in advance.

Do you have an iPad? Have you thought about using your iPad as a trigger to fire your camera? Take a look at this workflow from Terry White using Lightroom Mobile as part of your workflow
