Hi everybody!

To make my self-portraits, I use a Canon BR-E1 remote control connected in Bluetooth to my 6DMKII camera.

I use the vari-angle screen and the liveview mode to control my pose, but it's a bit too small...

I would like to be able to shoot with my remote control while connecting my camera via USB and take advantage of the Tethering mode on my pc (Windows).

I tried, but without success ...
Is it possible, is there any special handling to be done?

Thank you in advance for your answers!

Does that mean I could use Camera Connect at the same time as my remote control?
I imagined a solution, maybe it already exists in the form of an application or a plugin?

I do not know. I do not know what application you are using for remote control, or if can work through Bluetooth. I do not know if the camera is even capable of multiple active Bluetooth connetctions at the same time. If you have the hardware, test it.

I do not understand why you are using two remote connections at the same time. If you need a larger display, then connect a monitor to the HDMI output of the camera.

Did you find a solution to this? We are struggling here

Yes! I use the BR-E1 remote control and I connect my camera to a computer screen with an HDMI cable. Like this, I can have the live feedback of my camera screen on the computer screen while triggering remotely.
