I was thinking about tethering shooting in the past, when it was complicated.

Besides of the library , iPad editing and especially Snapshot app is ingenious in the workflow when travelling.

But I am really affraid we hijaack the thread.

guinness2,

If you want to do wired or wireless shooting with, or download photos, to your phone or tablet, I found an app called Camera Connect and Control that works. You can try it free for 3 days, then it's $9.99 to purchase. I just checked, and it's available in the Apple Store or on the Google Play Store. It's compatible with your iPad and your Canon SL3.

You can shoot either still photos or videos.

If you want to tether your camera in a wired mode, you'll need an OTG (on the go) cable to connect your  device to the USB cable, and an IFC-600PCU interface cable to connect the USB cable to the USB port on your camera.

I got the OTG cable off Amazon, and the IFC-600PCU cable from Canon.

Lately, I've been shooting in a wireless mode, taking shots from 20 or 30 feet away. You need direct line of sight though.
