Canon DSLR controller app for Android



 DSLR Controller is the first and only app that allows you to fully control your Canon EOS DSLR from your Android device, with nothing more than a USB cable. No computer or laptop required, no root required, no Wi-Fi required. All you need is a compatible mobile device, a compatible camera, and the right USB cable. 


Though still in the BETA stage of development, DSLR Controller already gives you remote liveview, remote control of most common settings, remote capture, focus and zoom control, and much more. See the about page for a full list of features, system requirements and screenshots.





DSLR Controller has been covered by several large news outlets, as well as a number of magazines. A prominent core developer of Android itself even called it his app of the year.
