Hey guys, its me again. Today I'm looking into using my RCA Viking PRO tablet as a field monitor/ DSLR controller for my Canon A2300 camera (I know, not the best options on both sides). But being a Youtube creator, I'm hoping to create better content for my channel with what I have. I have looked for guides/ apps to do so and it looks like my hardware options are just not supported on either/ both fronts. Just wanted to see if anyone has any insight in the matter before I give up on this endeavor all together. Thanks for the help all the same!

The A2300 sounds like a PnS compact camera, not a DSLR.  Does it even have hdmi out for connecting an external monitor, or some sort of USB video signal support?

Yeah it only has usb mini, which only looks like it does file transfer and not live video. A friend of mine gave me the idea to use it with my tabelt since it has a usb port. But as everything else I pretty much own, its not up to par.

I sadly doubt you will get video out from the USB. There is usally a HDMI out if the camera supports things like these.
