Hi there
I was wondering if there is any disadvantage to tethering with a Surface Pro attached via a clamp to a tripod vs having a Macbook in a peli beside the tripod.
I think the Macbook Pro is more powerful but it is more cumbersome to have it beside the tripod when you are shooting; ttis being said some good solutions exist such as the tethering kit from innovativ which comes even with a shade.
Then theres the ingenious Surface pro. There is a tablet like clamp from I think tethertools which allows one to attach the laptop to a tripod. Problem here is the power of the machine and the lack of shade options.
Say you are high on a tripod and want to shoot outside - how practical is a surface pro in full sunlight?
Good thing about Surface seems that the setup is a lot more nimble.
Thank you for your views
