Support for Canon EOS R8

Hpais

Hi folks,
Are there any plans to support the Canon R8? It's the most popular Mirrorless of the year, same sensor as the R6. I have one and would gladly help Beta test it.

I'm running the v2.1.2 w/a Skywatcher Adventurer GTi (EQMod) and the ASI715MC - both finally running with v2.1.2

Thanks in advance

Hpais Will consider this in the future, thank you for your feedback

I am also using an R8, but is currently unguided. I'd for sure go with the ASIAIR + guide scope if the R8 was supported, even if it was a beta version.
Fingers crossed 🙂

Adding my call for R8 support. I bought an ASIAIR this week without checking whether it was supported and am crushed that it’s not.

R8 owner here as well, I own several ZWO cameras but still would like to see the R8 supported as I would like to use the full frame for certain objects.

Helle @Tech@ZWO ,

Im' adding my voice. Just received a brand new ASAIR (very good product by the way ) but great disappointment to realize Canon R8 Camera is not supported :-(.
Any timeplan for a next release , even a Beta ?

Hello,
tested my EOS R8 with the ASI Air mini (latest firmware) - doesn't work! Please add the Canon EOS R8 control as soon as possible - this would be great!
I can also test a beta version, if you release one.

Assuming the focus, exposure time, ISO and etc are set manually on the Canon R8, can ASIAIR Plus simply trigger an exposure ?

Any update on this, please?

ASIAIR DSLR depends on libgphoto2. The latest update of this library (2.5.31.1) adds supports for the Canon EOS R100, R3, R8, R50 cameras. Will not be much of a stretch for the ZWO team to update their software to this latest library.
