bikealps Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 <p>I have a Nikon D3 and use Lightroom 3.6. I have used tethered shooting in the studio and really like it.</p> <p>Using Pocket Wizards, I can trigger my strobes wirelessly but I still have a wire hanging off the camera if I choose to shoot tethered.</p> <p>Is it possible to link the camera to the PC using a wireless connection?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joseph_wisniewski Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Yes. The "official" way is with the Nikon WT-4a WiFi interface, which will set you back around $750. Some folks have improvised their own with wireless USB interfaces, for a lot less money. How much do you like to tinker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shiang_wang1 Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Try Eye-Fi sd card with sd-cf adaptor, some people have luck with that on D3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard__ Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 <p>For a very expensive option, I suspect the new UT-1 Communications Unit with the WT-5 Wireless Transmitter may also work. Like the WT-4, it doesn't come with a battery.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynesview Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 <p>Eye-Fi won't work on the D3 - been there tried all of that. Don't waist your time. No inexpensive solution.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohanmike Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 <p>A while ago I read about someone trying the Eye-Fi and CF adapter. They said it was so incredibly slow it was not worth it.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joseph_wisniewski Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Here's one homebrew, under $100 solution. http://www.flickr.com/photos/sharpshutter/5789371172/#comment72157626741593951 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcassity Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 <p>Bought the 16gb Eye-Fi card for the D600. Couldnt get it to work consistently. Took it back and got my money back.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert_goss_kennedy Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 <p>I agree with Pat and the others. The Eye-fi is awful...just not worth it. It is insanely slow, and the interface is a joke. It may work for uploading JPEGs straight to whatever site they have a deal with, but it is not for transfering RAW files around. It couldn't do it on my D80. It would just get one or two files up an hour. And this is me working a few feet away from my router. It also drains your battery because you have to set the sleep mode timer to off. So the camera is always awake and sucking down power. I noticed a big difference. My D800 will never have that thing in it. <br> The USB cable is your best option. Wireless anything is usually slower than wired anything now. And wired is cheaper. In fact, for the money, you could get a cheap laptop with a good sized hdd and a long USB cable for what Nikon charges for their WiFi module. Literally use it as a dedicated "shooting PC." </p> <p> </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
