DSLR Control via HUAWEI P30 Pro

[Earl]

Hi am looking to control my Nikon D7100 from my HUAWEI P30 Pro via USB I have tried some apps have OTG adapters and nothing works so far, has anyone managed to do this?

Hello Earl,

I don't know the D7100, when I had a canon EOS M3 which would not use usb to APT ect. I used the wifi connection to the canon connect app. This allowed me to control the camera, but I couldn't set intervals over 30s. So I then used an android intervelometer app which has an overlay function and presses the shutter button of my canon app for me. 

If the D7100 has wifi and a Nikon app to control it, maybe the intervalometer app will work for you too. Base app was free, pro mode to unlock longer than 30s was something like £2-3. I no longer use it as I changed to a 600D which works  in USB to APT.

I can connect with apt on my pc but need it to be on my phone so I'm lugging less gear.

I had a quick search and the D7100 can use WiFi app (nikon wmu) but requires a WiFi adaptor. D7200 can be used direct.

Maybe ask if anyone has used this app and what level of control it gives you. The canon one was pretty good. If it does what you need, but can't set up intervals in bulb mode. This is the app I used.
