How to update CameraMator to iUSBportCAMERA?

Updated

Brief History
HYPER (Sanho Corporation) was Usman Rashid (Wooblue Inc’s) technology and sales partner in the CameraMator project. HYPER’s involvement include manufacturing and distributing the CameraMator device, including fulfillment to Usman Rashid’s Kickstarter backers. After investing heavily to market CameraMator at CES 2013 and Macworld 2013, HYPER sold a substantial amount of units to the market. Seeing the initial success, Usman Rashid got greedy and wanted to renegotiate the distribution contract. When HYPER refused, Usman Rashid pulled the iOS app from the Apple App Store to retaliate and hold HYPER ransom, leaving all CameraMator customers in a lurch. HYPER tried to persuade Usman Rashid to relist the app to no avail so HYPER had no choice but to sue Usman Rashid and Wooblue Inc. With quick resolution unlikely, HYPER proceeded to develop their own iOS app and rebranded the product line to iUSBportCAMERA, named after the patent pending iUSBport technology, which made CameraMator possible in the first place.

HYPER will provide free technical support for all CameraMator units updated to iUSBportCAMERA software.

Please note that this update will disable the usage of CameraMator app and enable usage of iUSBportCAMERA app.

    Thanks for the update.  Is it safe for mr to assume that those with the cameramator just have access to the basic controls in live mode (av, tv, iso, wb) and the ability to manually adjust the focus using "CameraControl"?  I am using a canon with an Android 4.2.1 tablet and these are the only things that i can control remotely. 

     

    Thanks
