I have been shooting tethered with my Canon 1ds mrk III for years, Can Capture One V6 support wireless tethering to my IMAC using the Canon WFT-EII2A wireless transfer unit and then using Capture Pilot to view on a Ipad at the camera without having to deal with a usb cable?

  Funny but I read your question a few minutes ago, then just ran across this item on Rob Galbraith's site. Not using a WFT but perhaps a solution although the distance is quite short.

  Thanks Rick, but 6.5 ft just won't do it, and don't know if C1 will recognize

  I hope you get an answer Matt, as I have a project coming up where I could also use wireless tethering.

  If by tethering you mean transfer files rather than controlling the camera...certainly. Assuming you have a wireless network involving your iMac, simply set up an FTP server there, add the Canon WFT as a device on the network, and direct COne to use that FTP folder. From there you just enabl Capture Pilot on your iMac and proceed....
  
  note, the EyeFi card and other SD card solutions will transfer small jpegs but do not have the horsepower for a RAW file, the Canon unit is workable with RAWS, Mark 4 files write to the computer in a few seconds in my environment, about the same speed as the EyEFi card with small jpegs.....
