Is there a way to use an Android Mobile as a focusing screen for Nikon D800?

Photography Asked by Kannan RAW Shooter on December 17, 2020

I want to use Android Mobile as a focusing screen. It is very difficult to focus as I am macro photographer. Please suggest some ideas, solutions, or tips..?

I own a Nikon D800 and all lenses and accessories.

You may plug it into the Android device via USB (right cable or adapter USB-A to your mobile USB port). Then install a camera control app, like Camera connect & control or Helicon. The D800 is listed as supported by those, but check well if live view actually works for your model. The Nikon's control app, Snapbridge, officially doesn't support the D800.

You may also try with the HDMI camera output: get a HDMI to USB adapter, plug it on the android and get some app "Android as USB monitor". You should see the live view, but cannot control the camera.
