Hi Margossian,
The Gigtube’s shutter button is tied directly to the shutter button of the camera, Canon disabled the autofocus ability of most of their cameras from the shutter button while in live view and moved the autofocus button to the rear of the camera (where your thumb would normally rest). This means that the Gigtube’s shutter button cannot activate the autofocus on most of the Canon cameras, while the autofocus will work on Nikon and others, this is something that Canon did on the EOS product line and we have no ability to correct for. Sorry for any inconvenience, hope this helps, if there is anything else we can do please let us know, thanks and happy shooting!

Hi Judi,
Yes it will with the 3N kit/cable; but much like the Canon T2i & 7D cameras you will need to have the AV cable that was supplied with your camera by Nikon to attach it to the Gigtube cable. Hope this helps, please let us know if there is anything else we can do for you, thanks and happy shooting!

Is the Gigtube compatible with the Nikon D5000?

Hi Ned,
The Gigtube remote viewing ability relies on the cameras live view function as it uses the video out feed of the camera. If the camera doesn’t have live view then you won’t see the image on the remote unit either. However, the unit will still show the image after it was taken (the Gigtube functions identical to the rear lcd screen on the camera just in a remote capacity, what the rear lcd would show you is what the Gigtube will also show), and work as a remote shutter.

I have a canon 1d mark II n
Will that work with this product? My camera is not live view from the camera, but it does have video out and a remote shutter cable plug in. The only way to view a pic before taking it is thru the eye view finder.
Can it work with this camera.
Thanks…………

Hi David,

The Canon cameras are set up so that when a external monitor is plugged into the video out port the rear LCD screen automatically turns off. Hope this helps, please let us know if there is anything else we can help with, thanks!
