03Oct Low price wireless DSLR Controller solution
DSLR Controller is an app I’ve demonstrated with the Nexus 7 as a monitor and controller for your camera. Now they’ve released an update that allows you to use a Google TV style dongle with a usb battery brick to accomplish the same thing via wifi.
You can download the app for your dongle here and the DSLR controller app for your phone or tablet here. If you’re interested in checking out the complete guide, you can find it here. It’s not as elegant as some of the other solutions out there, but it’s roughly $200 cheaper than the competition. If you need wireless control of your camera this might be worth looking into.

One of the reviews says that it works perfectly with Rikomagic MKIIIS. If added a standard DSLR battery, a UBEC (automobile USB converter) and a MKIIIS into the standard battery grip it should be a compact enough solution for DSLR video.
Thank you

Have you tried it yourself Deejay? How is the lag?

I haven’t had a chance to try it yet, but it looks promising. I would guess there would be at least 2 or 3 frames of lag.

Hi Deejay, have you tried DSLR controller on your EOS M with magic lantern?
Unfortunatly it don’t work with the stock firmware, maybe it will work with ML…

There is a more affordable solution now with a TP-Link MR3040 router http://dslrcontroller.com/guide-wifi_mr3040.php

Just got one of those in. I’ll be testing that out, hopefully towards the middle of the month.
