I hope this helps others
and I hope I can finally get all the bugs out of qdslr and get it to work.
Here are some of the issues I have come across.
I have tried 3 times to use qdsl and have failed for various reasons.
my equipment-
Canon 1dx
emotimo TB3
DP slider
TP-link
new iPad
1st attempt:
connected qDD and started auto holy Grail.
I have learned from past attempts with dslrd that I cannot connect my camera to the emotimo without first connecting to dslrd, this is true for the new version of qdd.
Everything seemed to be working perfectly ( I was so excited-what a great software app!)
about 10 mins into the time-lapse my camera froze (blue spinning circle in the viewfinder) The only way to un-freeze is to remove the battery and restart the camera. (The reason the camera froze is because the iPad went to sleep. I just determined this in my last , 3rd attempt. The solution-I hope- is to go to settings>general> auto lock> never...)
2nd attempt
Had numerous camera freeze ups
When I connected the camera to the qdslr app the AHG was not available . Also the screen was black. The iPad also froze and need to be restarted.
The solution to this seems to be restarting the TP Link. also the wireless has to be shut off and reconnected on the iPad.
this requires disconnecting the camera from the emotimo until connection is established.
3rd attempt.
Had numerous camera freeze ups- This is when I realized the iPad going to sleep was the cause.
I was not able to get the AHG to work and had to change the settings manually.
I need to try again with the iPad set to not sleep- I will let you know how it goes. I hope this will allow me to use the auto holy grail feature
Aloha!
