Eos Webcam Utility Not Working

I needed constant power for my Canon EOS Rebel T7i so I can use it as a webcam (with the EOS Webcam Utility). This works! The combo with the Canon DC Coupler DR-E18 is a little expensive but it's worked flawlessly so far.

I bought this for use as a webcam replacement and to film eLearning content in front of a greenscreen. The USB connection is terribly slow, resulting in about 1-2 frames per second as a webcam. I've heard using HDMI for the interface would work, but I just use EOS Utility to record onto the memory card while controlling the camera from the computer, and it works fine for my needs. What's important is that the camera and kit lens take impressively sharp, detailed videos, and I've been surprised at how well the face-tracking autofocus works for video. Keep looking if you want a webcam to use with EOS Webcam Utility, but this is a great camera for other purposes.

Works well with iPad and iPhone. Is great with EOS utility on Surface Pro 3.

I had originally gone with a cheaper USB and I have to say this is very well made and I haven't had an issue with CO LR or EOS utility since.

I purchased this tripod to use with my EOS R and it has been working great so far.

I'm using this cable with a Canon R5 and Lightroom. The cable works well and I definitely recommend it. Having said that, a few bits of advice. 1. I had trouble with LR losing the connection. While not scientifically proven, I believe the problem is that the Canon EOS Utility fights with LR for the connection (even if the EOS Utility is only on in the system tray). In any event, it worked fine when I uninstalled the EOS Utility from the laptop I use for shoots. 2. In retrospect I should have chosen the right angle attachment for the camera. I think the tether guard works better with the right angle attachment. 3. If shooting on a tripod, the set up only works if shooting in landscape orientation. 4. The right angle attachment doesn't work with a RRS L-bracket because the USB-C port on the camera is slightly off center. Accordingly, the right angle cable doesn't go through the proper opening in the L-bracket. While I bought the straight cable, I subsequently tried a right angle adapter which is when I realized the camera port was slightly off center. Hope these tips are helpful.

This cable is pretty great. I use it to tether my computer running EOS utility 3 and Adobe Lightroom to my Canon EOS 80D for remote shooting. Unlike other cables I have bought in the past, this one seems to stay in my camera very well.

The cable worked without interruptions for hours until the battery ran out in the camera. It was difficult at first to connect and then to reconnect, the camera and the MacBook Pro, but I attribute that difficulty to EOS Utility being difficult about the order of connection and turning on of the devices. Not clear instructions on that from EOS Utility.

This is a very handy cord to have. I use Lightroom Tethering and EOS Utility often, and this is always nice to have around when you need some extra space between the camera and computer.
