CamFi Unveils New Wireless Tethering System

CamFi has announced the new CamFi 3 and CamFi 3 Plus wireless tethering devices that promise to transfer photos directly to a computer or mobile device from a variety of ranges for use in an assortment of shooting situations. The CamFi 3 and 3 Plus allow for wireless tethered shooting and works in tandem with both Adobe Lightroom and Capture One with the same expected functionality compared to a physical wired connection.

The CamFi 3 and 3 Plus tethering devices offer Auto View, raw image support, high-speed transfer, remote live view, focus stacking, and 4G LTE dongle support. CamFi supports USB 3.0 and delivers maximum wireless transfer speeds of up to 15Mb/s to a connected computer, tablet or smartphone. CamFi is compatible with macOS, Windows, iOS and Android. CamFi can be used on Wi-Fi or a 4G LTE network. The CamFi 3 Plus differentiates itself from the CamFi 3 through wider camera support which includes 500 total models from across the brand landscape including Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Sony, Olympus, Hasselblad, Phase One, and Pentax. By contrast, the standard CamFi 3 supports a much more modest four brands: Canon, Nikon, Sony, and Fujifilm.

Both the CamFi 3 and CamFi 3 Plus are powered by Canon LP-E6 batteries and the company rates them to last three to four hours on per charge. Both transmitters can also be powered by a USB-C connection which could theoretically allow for unlimited shooting times. The CamFi 3 also supports the CamFi ZF Remote Zoom and Focus Controller.

The CamFi 3 is available directly from CamFi for $299 while the CamFi 3 Plus is available for $339.
