Live View app for tablet

[Bobby1970]

I was wondering if something exists which will allow me to use a tablet as a live view screen for my EOS450d. It would also be awesome if I could do remote shooting from it. 

It just that the screen on the 450 doesn't tilt so being able to use a tablet would be great. I am away at a potentially dark(er) location in a week or so and was planning on taking my Star Adventurer and modded 450d along with some old M42 fit lenses.

 

Don't want to take my laptop as I need a suitable power supply.

 

Any suggestions? That don't cost a fortune ideally 😉

I found this. Don’t know how good it would be for Astro, would be interested to know.

I think some on this site have used the"DSLR controller" or "DSLR remote" app, cant remember which in conjunction with an OTG cable to control their camera with a phone/tablet.

thanks for the tips guys.

DSLR controller seems to not be supported anymore, from reading reviews on the app store. I don't want to waste £8 if it doesn't work with my 450d 😞

 

Most of the other apps seem to be wifi/Bluetooth. or crazy money imho.

 

The search continues

I should think the Canon Utilities would work on a tablet for live view.
