I'm starting to do more freelance studio work and want to shoot tethered in Capture One. I did a test shoot the other day and the transfer from camera to C1 was excruciatingly slow, taking seconds per image to render which added up very quickly for bursts of images. I'm shooting on an R5 going through a CalDigit TS3 Plus into my PC laptop (I'd have to look into specs).
As far as I can tell with the USB/Thunderbolt 3 ports and cords I'm using, I should be transferring at 5Gb/s so I'm not sure what the bottleneck is or if there isn't one and this is normal. I couldn't find any information about people's experience using the R5 tethered so I figured I would ask here.
At my job we shoot on Nikon D5's and I'll step away, shoot 20 or so photos quickly and have them at least mostly loaded by the time I get back to my computer. The D5 is a 20 Mp camera vs 45 on the R5 so I get it being faster but I did switch the R5 to APS-C mode which did make it render faster but it still felt much slower than at work.
I have a lot more testing to do on my own but if anybody has any input I would really appreciate it!
