Can't Find Your Camera?
We can't publish a complete list of all supported cameras. The app is free to use, so you can test whether your camera works before purchasing a subscription or spending time on setup.
While older cameras, such as the Canon 60D, may function with Booth.Events, they might not support all features or provide the same level of reliability as newer models. Users should be aware of potential limitations when using older equipment.
Before testing, update your camera to its latest firmware. Firmware updates often fix connection problems. Very old cameras (for example the Canon T5) may have compatibility issues.
Supported iPads & iPhones
Device | Connection Method |
USB-C iPad | USB cable or USB-C hub |
Lightning iPad/iPhone | Apple Lightning-to-USB adapter (not a direct cable) |
Recommended Hardware
Lightning devices: Use the official Apple Lightning-to-USB adapter
USB-C devices: Use the Docktech Hub from our [Recommended Hardware] page
Note: Many USB-C hubs won't work - iPads are picky. Get your camera working with a direct cable first, then add the hub.
Keeping Your iPad Powered
To charge your iPad while a camera is connected:
Use a USB-C hub with PD (Power Delivery) input
Use an AC adapter that provides at least 45W
See [Recommended Hardware] for specific product recommendations.
How to Connect
Set your camera to shoot JPG (or RAW+JPG if you want RAW files for later - the app ignores RAW files)
Start the Booth.Events app
Connect your camera to the iPad via USB
Turn on your camera
First-Time Setup
Open Camera Settings in the app at least once. iOS will prompt you to grant permission for USB camera access. Your camera doesn't need to be connected for this step.
Camera not connecting?
Work through USB Camera: Settings & Troubleshooting from top to bottom: permissions, restarting the iPad, a direct cable without the hub, the memory card and camera settings.
Common questions
Do I need a memory card in the camera?
Yes. The camera needs a formatted memory card with at least one photo taken on it. The app copies each photo from the card.
Can I use a 90-degree USB connector?
We don't recommend it. 90-degree connectors often cause connection problems; use a straight cable.
Does Booth.Events support FTP uploads?
No. FTP is not supported.
