How to connect a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2012 edition to a Canon 7D DSLR camera

I've been watching a lot of youtube vids lately about guys using their tablets as monitors for their DSLR cameras and I want to do that with mine.

The Canon 7d does not have wifi (although the 7d mkii does).

The Note 10.1 2012 edition cable has the 30 pin connector at one end and the standard usb connector at the other.

The Canon 7d has what I think is proprietary at the camera side and a standard usb connector at the other end.

Do I just need a female/female adapter to get the tablet and the camera to talk to each other?

Thanks!
Chaz
