I built a wireless USB tether out of a battery grip, check it out!
I used one half of a Cables Unlimited USB-WR2000 kit, a switching 5V 1A voltage regulator, all powered by the batteries inserted in the battery grip.

All sewn together so I can run iPad based DSLR remote trigger solutions.

  • Do u think u can make a how too video? And do u know of any reason I would not be able to do this on my D7000 w/ the MB-D11 grip? Ty : )

  • @DanhNguyenster64

    One difference between what I did for the D5000 with the third party grip is the gripcomes with a dongle that connects to the USB and shutter trigger.

    The MB-D11 grip connects to the camera using pins in the base.

    I do have a plan to mod a MB-D11 soon.

  • This is fantastic, would you be interested in modding an MB-D10 and...do you know if a Mac running parallel desktop would work?

  • @VonWongPhotography

    I do have on my schedule a mod to an MB-D11, they are similar.

    I will have a post in a week or so.

  • @fordcougar99

    The USB dongle doesn't currently connect to the iPad, and the usual Windows drivers are needed to power the PC Host side of the dongle set.

  • The camera definitely continues to function properly, the iPad app controls the camera or you can pick it up and take shots yourself. The most current picture taken by you using the camera or by using the iPad app shows.

    I also use Lightroom tethering import and Nikon Camera Control Pro with the wireless tether.

  • Hey Superman, any chance you'd take on custom mod jobs? If so how much would you charge? :)

  • Would it work to attach USB dongle to ipad camera kit? does the USB dongle operate without software? thanks
