Tethering a Leica M240 to C1Pro

[ski542002]

Running C1Pro V-8.1.1.2. Macbook Pro running 10.10.5 Yosemite. Leica firmware is up to date. Trying to tether my Leica M240. C1Pro release notes say it will tether but the software does not see the Leica. Cables are OK, as it will tether to my Canon DSMKIII. I thought about upgrading to C1Pro V-9, but V-9 release notes say the Leica is not supported. Trying to migrate away from LR, which I’ve found to be very buggy; constantly drops the tether signal and is very slow.

i use the 240 in studio, and you will need the leica program called leica image shuttle 2 FYI it dose not wrk with mac os El Capitane
then you have to do a Hot folder/watch folder in CP1
but there is no live view or camera control in CP1 only camera control in the leica APP
also you will need the multifunction grip or as i call it "the most expensive USP port"
hope it helps

Hello Michel154. Yes, I was directed to try this solution from another thread/poster; I have the grip. Works fantastic. Fast, and reliable. Thanks for the heads-up regarding El Capitane. Have yet to upgrade my OS, and for now I think I'll wait!
