The Entagged System

The Entagged device is a Bluetooth plug-in that connects to your camera via one of its ports (USB/remote/10‑pin, dependent on the camera model) and a small cable.

There are 3 Entagged models, and the online shop link above will help you choose the correct one for your camera. All you need to know is your camera model.

You can distinguish between the different models by looking at their plugs:

Entagged M: for Canon, Sony and Fujfilm cameras, as well as Nikon Z30, Z50, Zf, Z fc, D3500, D3400. This model comes with a detachable magnetic USB plug and HDMI cable.
The model pictured above has a micro‑USB plug, but it can also come with a USB‑C or mini‑USB plug, depending on your camera.
Entagged N1: for Nikon Pro bodies with a round 10‑pin accessory terminal on the front of the camera. The plug is not detachable. Includes USB cable.Entagged N2: for Nikons with a rectangular accessory terminal. The plug is not detachable. Includes USB cable.

The Magnetic Plug

The M model (which fits most Canon, Sony, and Fujifilm cameras) features a special magnetic USB plug. It attaches to the camera, while the Entagged device snaps onto it. This protects your camera ports from accidental tugs or bumps, and the magnetic connection ensures safety while the cable keeps your device tethered.

The Cable

While it may look delicate, the cable that comes with your Entagged is incredibly strong. It’s made from enameled strands with TPU insulation - designed to be low-profile yet flexible and tough enough for demanding Picture Day shoots. Cable type depends on your camera model at checkout.
