This is a sad line in that link.

Short answer is probably. It's pretty good software. Best way to find out is download it and give it a try. There are manuals in the links that Steve posted to get you started. The software is free so it costs you nothing, and if it doesn't work for you, you can always delete it.

CamRanger will work with just about any phone and the iPad but there is hardware to buy as well as software to download. You can check it out at the link below:

EDIT: OOOPS, DSLR Dashboard used to be free but just read where it does have a price now. Sorry for the misinformation.

I failed to get to the above site on the first try because of the typo in the unsuffixed URL above. Try this: http://www.controlmynikon.com/

Looks like an interesting site, especially as the D3100 does not tether to Lightroom. Some seem to think that Nikon declines to support tethering for the D3100; I'm fine with that business/technical decision.

In any case, Nikon enables Eye-Fi tethering to many DSLRs and Eye-Fi supports D3100 tethering to iPads. This is a little cryptic here, but kindly see my hands-on account of Eye-Fi tethering to a computer, for use with Adobe products, in a comment to come.

Sorry about the typo. I do better with a real keyboard rather than an iPhone

Unless something has changed recently, Nikon never released an sdk for the d3100 so the tethering was never implemented by third party developers for that body. I originally was looking at acquiring that body but opted for a d7000 as it supported tethering not to mention the in-body focus motor. Actually, tech support at control-my-nikon told me for what I was trying to accomplish (focus stacking); the d7000 would be my best choice at the time.
