Tether With an Android Phone

With Honcho, you can tether your camera with an Android phone, and upload photos from camera to cloud.

Start by connecting the camera to your Android phone with a cable.

You’ll see a dialog to choose an app for the USB device—which refers to your camera.

Tap on Honcho.

The mobile app will launch with your camera already connected. You’ll see your camera in the camera toolbar.

You’re ready to go! As you shoot, your photos will be automatically transferred to the mobile app and uploaded to the cloud.

If your camera disconnects during a shoot, check that the cable is securely connected—it can come loose even when it’s still plugged in, causing a disconnection. To prevent this, we recommend locking the cable in place with a tether plate, or mounting your phone to the camera to minimise cable movement.

Xiaomi phones

Xiaomi phones might show the following notification when you connect your camera. 

Tap on the notification. 

You’ll see the same dialog to choose an app for the USB device. Follow the steps as listed above.
