Depending on your needs, there is along list of options. I know – those two statements contradict each other right? Not really. Software Options “There are a lot of options for shooting tethered” “There are really only two choices for shooting tethered” This is where the real work happens and also where the bottleneck occurs if you don’t have enough. However the most important spec is the RAM. It goes without saying that a faster processor is desirable. You are going to be downloading large raw files in real time to a computer while you shoot. Many of you are already using a piece of software that will allow you to shot tethered, but before we look at the software – let’s talk about some computer requirements. Shooting tethered has allowed me to deliver finished images within hours of a shoot – without sacrificing any quality or compromising my workflow. Yes – there is a learning curve, but we are living in an era where people expect images quickly if not immediately. There is also a philosophy held by many people that shooting tethered is difficult and an inconvenience. Now if your not sure what all this tethering stuff is and how you do it – go back and watch this video so that you’re up to speed.īefore we dig in – let be clear about one thing… the ability to tether is an incredible asset if you are an advanced shooter and have reached a point in your development as a photographer where you have learned the true value of having a workflow and a consistency to your process. One of the first things you need to consider before you shoot with your camera tethered to your computer -is the software. In this article, I will break down your options and look at why you might pick one over the other, and I’ll even explain how I create backups of my files as they are downloaded to my computer. “We look forward to conducting operational testing and evaluation using the dual-capabilities of IWOO prototypes in 2021 against ground targets at increased ranges and to take-down drones.Are you ready to start shooting tethered? Are you looking for the best software to use? Tethering doesn’t have to be difficult. “We are very pleased with the progress SMART SHOOTER has made with the IWOO design” said Michael Trexler, Special Operation Forces Combat Support Coordinator / Program Manager, at IWTSD. “We value this important opportunity to partner with IWTSD to develop the IWOO system, and are honored to provide operators with an unmatched optic capability against modern threats and the types of terrorist attacks that we are increasingly seeing on streets and battlefields around the world” Ms. Built-in fire control processing continuously calculates the optimal firing solution to provide the user with clear, discreet guidance, firing only with the best chance of neutralizing the target, delivering first-round hit capabilities time after time. The IWOO system automatically detects, highlights, and tracks potential targets – including drones – using a see-through display which enhances the user situational awareness. SMART SHOOTER won the competition and began development using proven technologies from its SMASH line of Fire Control optics and inserting new capabilities such as a variable x1- x8 zoom – all stitched together with combat-proven fire control algorithms to assure the hit, according to a report by the manufacturer SMART SHOOTER published by Soldier Systems. The IWOO program was initiated by IWTSD to provide tactical operators overmatch capability against long range static and moving targets, both day and night. SMART SHOOTER successfully completed the Critical Design Review in November 2020. The IWTSD selected SMART SHOOTER in February 2020 as a solution for its Individual Weapon Overmatch Optic (IWOO) project. The US Department of Defense’s Irregular Warfare Technical Support Directorate (IWTSD) has approved the SMART SHOOTER individual tactical weapon, paving the way for prototype production with delivery of the first functional system at the end of 2021.
