Hi GuyYou could upgrade to a IQ 260 with wifi and use a IPad as well. This is Dante's inferno and cheap way out is not allowed. ROTFLMAO
Seriously a p40 should have no issues with air tethered.
Same here. I tether a P40+ to an 11in Mac Air via the adapter. And it works fine, except the camera must be on battery power as the FW cable doesn't provide enough juice.
The 11in screen is small though. Part of its charm, of course, in its portability. The whole thing is not much bigger than an iPad.
Thanks - this is what I am thinking - its just to tether , not for working on.MBA 11" (2012), 8GB RAM and IQ140 - no problems. I use the TB-firewire adapter.
BUT: Unless weight and size is really important for you I'd go for the 13" - the better battery life does make a difference. And the screen of the 11" is only 11"

Can't seem to find it but I thought Gitzo had a triangle cloth base to put between the tripod legs. Something like that would be very light weight .Hi Guy
I am a certified member of Dante's inferno - trust me :angel:
This is for the P45+ which is now full spectrum - so I really can not trust the auto focus / manual focus scale either, and I am sorta anal about that. So the option is to tether.
I am thinking about the Air, and for a platform - looking for something light, even thought about a music stand top cause the gitzo and tether tools tops are over 2 pounds each. saving weight is the goal, I am old and in Shanghai its taxis and walking. Miami not such a big deal as a car is helpful. And I don't know why but I always take too much stuff :facesmack:

Manfrotto makes something like this, it's called "Manfrotto Tripod Utility Apron"Can't seem to find it but I thought Gitzo had a triangle cloth base to put between the tripod legs. Something like that would be very light weight .
Liveview is not currently supported via USB2 or USB3.From a Live-view point of view, is there any difference between USB2 and USB3 ? And what about USB2 and FW ?
I am not interested in tethering, but checking focus on my laptop (IQ back, to C1) could be interesting. Alas, I have only USB2. I could also get FW through the thunderbolt adapter, but I don't know if that will bring anything - again only for LV. I'm sure that for proper tethering having more transfer capacity on the cable is better.
Thanks !
