[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1920332, member: 110816"] Once you launch the app and get that message, you can go to Sys Prefs->Security & Privacy and on the General tab, there'll be a note saying "<app> was blocked.." and have a button called Open Anyway. The choice is yours to do so and doing so will not give you that prompt ever again. Apple has forced developers to at least register themselves so you get some level of assurance that they aren't bad actors, but some developers don't do it. I imagine the controller goes between the camera and the hardware with a USB cable. With your 75' cable, you might want to plug in USB hubs on either end. That way you can plug two cables into the camera, one for the computer and the other the controller. If that 75' cable is working for the camera right now, it might work for the controller as well. However, from experience I know that after a certain distance you're dealing with lot of signal loss and need a repeater inline to ensure that the signal gets across. I had to do this with a gaming wheel for my console that was going to be about 20' away. I initially had a 24' regular USB cable that didn't work, and then switched to a 24' cable with a repeater and the wheel came to life. [/QUOTE]
