Basic capture functions are supported for the following models (we recommend using Canon for full functions). For compatibility about specific Nikon models, please contact us.
Disclaimer for Nikon: There is limited support for Apple silicon (M1 and newer) regarding Nikon cameras. The PhotoRobot Controls application needs to be run in Intel processor mode. Instructions can be found on the Apple website.

3rd party cameras
We also support third party cameras under the following conditions. Please contact us for specific information.
- The camera is fired with a cable trigger over PhotoRobot Control Unit.
