Canon R5 Tether re-connect indexing/busy not connecting
I am using a Canon R5 while tethering to C1 (16.3)
The camera connects and tethers just fine until I disconnect my camera. When I try to reconnect the top LCD panel says "BUSY" and there is an icon of a computer on the back of my camera. The red blinking light on the back of my camera also blinks (assuming it's doing some sort of indexing of my card).
For clarity I have had this issue for a few years now. It has spanned across multiple versions of C1, multiple camera bodies, multiple firmwares. I am using new tether tools cables as well.
I have C1 set to save to both C1 (hard drive) and my SD card (for backup). The only thing that solves the issue is if I pull the card and format it or use another card. I have not tried to save directly to CF express instead of SD and I have not tried other SD cards yet (currently using Lexar Pro 2000x 64gb cards).
I cannot for the life of me figure out how to solve this. With C1's latest update I thought the issue was solved, as I connected a camera with a full card of images and didn't have the issue. However the next time I was shooting tethered the same thing happened.
Any suggestions?

Do you have any other software that might be grabbing the camera when it is re-attached? Even cloud sync tools like Google Drive, OneDrive, etc, can get in the way.

Walter Rowe - I don't believe so. Also the tethering works perfect until this issue occurs
SFA - To clarify, not when the card is full, just when a portion of images already exist on the card. It's nowhere near full when these incidents happen.

I am having issues with my R5 connecting with C1 when my camera turns off then turning back on. sometimes it can take 5-10 mins to reconnect unplugging and turning off my camera.

We experienced the same issue on set today. The Canon R5 locked up while connected to Capture One, displaying the same "Busy" message on the top LCD panel and computer icon on the back of the camera. No buttons or menus worked.
If Capture One was open and the camera was plugged in to the Mac, then the R5 was locked up. As soon as you quit Capture One or disconnected the camera from Capture One, the camera worked fine.
Quit Capture One, camera works fine. Start Capture One, camera locks up. We even restarted the computer and the camera still locked back up as soon as we started Capture One.
From this thread, I discovered that ejecting the memory card would cause Capture One to stop locking up the camera. Re-inserting the memory card would cause Capture One to lock up the camera again. I then tried reformatting the memory card, and Capture One no longer locked up the camera.0 -
I continue to have this problem. I'm using the latest version of Capture One Pro on a pc laptop in my studio.
Everything works as it should when I initially set up. Then it disconnects (seemingly) randomly. Sometimes after a period of being idle, sometimes in the middle of a session with a client.
The only thing that "fixes" it is restarting C1. Power cycling the camera doesn't do it.
I noticed yesterday that when I power off the R5 then turn it back on for a split second, C1 identifies the camera then it disconnects.
I need help with this!
EDIT: When I'm shooting tethered I want RAW files backed up on the camera as well as "backups" on the laptop.
