Leica FOTOS Cable

Apologies in advance for a slightly off-beat question:

I can see that the Leica Fotos Cable is available separately.  Will this work with any camera that has a USB-C Port?

I am only asking because currently the only way to achieve this now is to use a Lightning to USB adapter.

I have an SL2 and TL2 and to connect to an iPhone  -  the above adapter is required for a cable connection.

I would love to use this cable on a Canon and Sony with the Cascable App or a Hasselblad to Phocus on an iPhone - for true tethered shooting.

TIA.

Simply NO

Just for M11 at this point. it will need a supporting firmware.

The Leica Q3 is available for pre-order at B&H Photo Video and Adorama

Unfortunately not.

Its also a pretty useless (at least to me) cable if you quickly need to charge your iPhone since it doesn't transmit power from the USB-C side to Lightning.

Thank you for the replies.

So they made a proprietary cable - with a ridiculously positioned USB-C port ( I remember using a base USB-C port on the Fujifilm 50R and thinking how ridiculous - as the cam had to be precariously placed on its side anytime you wanted to use it)

I find the downloads via Cable quite slow too.

What were the developers/engineers thinking?

They are still thinking. Connectivity is not ready yet. We have to wait till autumn. Then we can judge.
