Apparently I can use an android tablet so of course I have an ipad. Anyone know of any software for ipad as a monitor ? I don't want to spend money on an android tablet.

Can you tell I'm tired of the crappy weather and I'm trying out other things. :-)

Thanks, yes I've seen that. I was trying to not spend any more money ... And I already have an ipad. :-)

Actually, you would need to 'jailbreak' the ipad, which I am not going to do.

Not so if you have a WFi camera!

I thought any tablet can be used, when tethered with a USB cable, as long as you have the app downloaded onto the tablet. :confused:

Yah...something like that loaded onto a tablet then tethered to your camera. Wouldn't that work?

(I'd just need something for Nikon.)
