Speedlites, Printers, Accessories / *EDITED* USB Cable for 5D Mark III

« on: December 30, 2012, 07:06:34 AM »

I want to run my laptop as an external (EDIT) monitor.  I am using the USB cable that came with my camera to test out the EOS Utility.  My question however is do I need a special USB cable or will any of them with a mini end work?  The one that comes with the camera looks to have a fuse on each end or something.  I'm looking at buying a 25 ft or at least a 10 ft cable.  Something of that nature.

Thanks for the feedback!  I love this forum!

Hey guys! I'm new here as a registered member, but have been a visitor for awhile.

I've searched this forum for this topic, and even though there are many posts regarding the same topic, I've yet to see an appropriate answer.  Maybe there's not.

I want to be able to use my laptop as an external monitor.  I like the fact that with EOS Utility that I can control the camera, but I don't even need that.  What I need is to be able to shoot video while someone else is looking at the monitor (laptop) reviewing the shot in real time without lag / choppines.  How can I do this?

Thanks for any assistance.
