Hello everyone, hi @mikemyers,
I don’t know if you are still searching for a remote control (Application) for your D750.
Cascable seems to be a great tool (for iOS/macOS).

I think this works on the D750.
Now that does look interesting. And, if I’ve read the blurb right, I can access its functionality from the app that I am writing
You are right, great !
Compatible with D750 and Df 
But the latest update is 2 years old so it will work as long as it works 
I used to have a D750 but I do not remember which App I was using. The D750 is an excellent device coupled with DxO even more 
Then I tried a Leica M10 for 2-3 years before coming back to my first love: Nikon.
Now I am happy learning all about the Z7ii (1123 pages book).
I have much more fun than with the M10: fast autofocus, macro photography, telephoto, flashlights, etc.
I did use the M10 mostly at 28mm and hyperfocal settings, it’s great, especially for travelling light, but the possibilities versus price does not match for me.
You mean with CascableCore ?
Do you know you can apply for Nikon’s SDKs for digital imaging products ?
Yes.
Yes, but that would limit my app to only Nikon
Alright, true.
Glad you discovered something new with Cascable

Of all the cameras I now have, the least expensive camera to own, as I see it, is the Leica. Compare what used Leica cameras sell for, compared to what they cost new, then try with Nikon.
Over two years, my M10 has dropped only $500 or so used, compared to what it cost me new (both prices from B&H). Conversely, my $4000ish Nikon cameras are now essentially worthless - while used Leica cameras sell for at least half, or more, usually much more, of what they originally cost. Even my 2006 Leica M8.2 which cost somewhere near $5000 or so (16 years ago) now sells for around $2,000… while my old Nikon D2x that I paid around $4,000 for can be bought for around $200.
Well, Leitz is just slow to renew their models. But do you feel as ‘shareholder’ cause you bought in years ago?
Yes, I do, considering I switched from my Nikon SP to the Leica M2 in the 1960’s, and I guess ever since then, I’ve been 95% into Leica and Nikon, with a few others thrown in, such as the Fuji X100 series.
Actually, Leica isn’t that slow in renewing their models - I bought the M10, which was followed my the M10-P, the M10-D, the M10 Monochrom, and finally the M10-R, and it’s only now, several years later, that they’re changing the base name to M11. (And I also love my M8.2 Leica.)
Leica can’t keep up with demand - I’ve been on a wait-list for two of their film models for about half a year now, the Leica M-A and the Leica MP. In the meantime, I’ve decided to stick with my Leica M3 film camera, which dates back to 1954.
My point is that while it costs a lot of $$$ to buy one, years later there is a good chance it will sell for more than I paid for it originally, and the prices of used Leica gear are going up every time I check. I should have bought some more from KEH years ago, where the cameras, and the lenses, were very affordable.
Nikon meanwhile keeps making my current Nikon “obsolete”. Joanna’s D850 started as a D800 that I almost bought (but got the smaller and lighter D750 instead), then the D810 as I recall, and is now the D850 which as Joanna pointed out, is likely to be their last great DSLR for “regular” people. There is also the D6 for a mere $$6,500 at B&H, with 20 megapixel sensor, but it is way too big, and way to heavy, for me to even consider. Even my D750 has been replaced by the D780 which I can buy for $2,300 but I’m not sure how it would benefit me. I can buy a “like new” D850 for $3,000 for KEH…
I bought my D750 in early 2015, shortly after it came out. It replaced my D3. So I’ve been using it for 7 years now, and used it sells for around $1,300 or so - probably a little under half what I originally paid for it. The price for a new one is now $1,700.
Having gone back and forth between the D750, the Df, and the Leica M10, for the type of photos I’m shooting now, the D750 is the best choice - as several people here have told me. The Leica excels at doing what it was designed for, walking around with it and taking what I call “candid photos” of life around me. The Leica becomes “part of me”. The Nikon is always a tool that I hold in my hands. Hard to explain.
And I agree, the Leica costs a LOT of $$$ to buy, and Leica lenses cost far more than others (but again, hold their value).
You are right.
Exactly.
This is what I meant with “possibilities versus price does not match for me”. For my use the more versatile and financially accessible Nikons is better than the Leica M in the end and I prefer to concentrate on one device only.
I (grudgingly) have to agree with you.

Ahm… yes, and here is a distressed D810 photographer who is ashamed to walk around with completely outdated technology and just 5 prime lenses. It is to despair. Urgent help please.

I respectfully disagree. Your D810 may be “old”, but my D750 comes from when the D800 was available, so your version is newer. I also think that your five prime lenses are most likely higher quality than the zoom lenses I used to like so much - and the primes are smaller, and lighter, especially if they are older.
My Leica M3 is from 1954, and my Leica lenses are mostly from the 1960’s. That you do well is due to YOU, not to the equipment, and I suspect I would be just as happy using your newer outdated technology than my older outdated technology.
The reason I don’t have a D800 series camera is simple - size and weight.
The more you post in this forum, and the more feedback you get, the better you will feel about everything, just as has happened to/for me. If you go back two years and view the photos I was posting, they were awful. I didn’t have a clue how to make them better, but little by little the feedback in this forum grew inside me.
How about you post a recent photo - just select one at random, don’t search for the absolute best, just select something “typical” of your photography, but if possible, edit it in PL5, even if it’s a trial version - that way you’ll be up to date with the very latest tools, and you can be just as confused as I am.
Well, the D810 is actually from June 2014, your D750 from Sept. 2014.
But I’m just joking. 
I bought my D810 used to complement my D7200 and am very happy with what I have and I’d say perfectly know how to handle so that it delivers what I want to have. DXO helps to circumnavigate some problems or weaknesses and improves here or there easily but I would not say that tools are in the center of my interest in photography. And a bad composition remains a bad composition with any tool in the world.
(I’m from a time in which a slide film cost 15-20 DM (Deutsche Mark) and I got 4 DM pocket money a week. So, first of all, I learned how to do it right the first time. With an entirely manual SLR camera (Praktika) even without an exposure meter.)
Mike, maybe you contribute something to yourself – ah well, you are getting a new tripod.
Wonderfull. The one I started with.

I wanted a Zeiss Ikon Icarex 35, but couldn’t afford (no pocket money).
– A couple of years later it all started with Minolta SR-T 101 and their 3,5/50mm Macro – good lens.

I guess so; besides the tripod there was the 50mm Voigtlander lens, a Wolf gourmet oven, some new Bluetooth tools for my D750, two camera books, and several new accessories for a somewhat broken Apple iPad I was given. Lots of “stuff” over the past month or so. Would be nice if the iPad ran PL5, but that ain’t gonna happen - and apparently I can’t even download the images on my memory card to review them.
The oven gets top billing - while I can only look at my photos, I can eat my food!
Also, someone gave me a D750 body that was on a tripod with a 400mm lens when it blew over, yanking the lens and lens mount off the camera body. A nearby shop told me it’s fixable, and not nearly as expensive as what I expected. It might make for a good camera to carry all over India, regardless of how dirty or dusty it gets. Oh, and I also called the fellow who is doing the C&L on my old Leica M3 - he tells me I should get it back in the next few weeks. Also, to avoid confusion, I’m avoiding using my Fuji X100f, but I really out to they the PL5 software for it, and see how things work.
One thing at a time. For tonight, it’s “highlight weighted metering”.
I remember those days - I sort of solved that problem by buying a 100 foot roll of Plus-X film, a changing bag, and some Contax and later Nikon cassettes. With 100 feet in the bank, I stopped worrying about buying more film. Oh, and I remember the Practice - never saw one in person, but they were the issues of Modern Photography and Popular Photography, and I dreamed about them. Then there was the Alpa, which I also dreamed over, but never got to see a live one. Until the Nikon F came out, it was mostly rangefinder for me, with a 4x5 Graflex I wish I had kept. What a monster!!
Do you have a photo you can upload here, so I’m not all by myself in uploading?
I had a Zeiss Icarex with 3 lenses (I believe there were no others). I sold the equipment to buy a Pentax SP (around 1970).
