Control DSLR camera Live View on Android and Kindle devices

Most modern DSLR cameras allow you to remotely control focus, exposure, time lapse and other settings on computer via USB connection. With increasing popularity of the smartphones and tablets, you can remotely control your camera without computers.

For travelers and on location shooting, Android and iOS devices have clearly advantages over traditional PC/MAC:

• Longer battery life
• Space and weight saver. Regardless of how slim and light your laptops and netbooks are, they are still relatively bulkier and heavier than smartphones and tablets

You can get the DSLR Controller app from Android market

The $199 Amazon Kindle Fire is one of the smallest Android tablets with powerful CPU inside that can matches up against any $400+ Android tablets today. The 7" IPS display with 1024x600 resolution and 16 million color is better than majority of the HDMI/SDI DSLR LCD field monitors except the SmallHD DP6. With proper apps running on it, Kindle Fire would easily become an alternative solution for budget indie filmmakers to replace those low end to middle range field monitors. Remember, Kindle Fire is future proof, most field monitors are not.
