Tamron has announced the Tamron Link (Model TL-01), a new wireless accessory that enables Bluetooth control of compatible Tamron lenses via smartphone. Alongside the Tamron Link, the company has also released the Tamron Lens Utility Mobile app for iOS, expanding compatibility beyond Android devices.
The Tamron Link connects to a compatible Tamron lens and communicates wirelessly with your smartphone via Bluetooth 5.4, with a maximum range of 5 meters (16.4 feet). This eliminates the need for a cable connection between the camera and phone, giving photographers and videographers more flexibility on set.
The accessory works with the updated Tamron Lens Utility app (now version 5.0), which adds several new features including Focus/Iris Marker Link, Ring Stopper for preventing unintended adjustments, selectable focus and aperture rotation angles, Focus Time Lapse for interval shooting, Astro Focus Lock with fine adjustment, and a Night Mode that turns the screen red for low-light shooting.
