While the DLSR market is large, it doesn't seem to be large enough for companies to do this. Or, at the very least, partner with a company that would help bring such a product to market. We've always wondered why they never designed a "pro" model based on the CompactFlash CF+ platform to cater to the DSLR market. While they never officially supported the product, they provided us with technical assistance designing it, and even featured it on this section of their site: When we first released the CFMulti, it was with the cooperation of Eye-Fi™. However, this doesn't seem to be the case any newer models or recent firmware updates. Q: And have you had any issues with the CFMulti and the Canon 350D/Digital Rebel XT at all?Įarlier Cannon models (20D, 30D, 40D, XTi) often worked with the earlier Eye-Fi™ cards in conjunction with the CFMulti. Our official stance is that the CFMulti is only supported with the original Eye-Fi™ card. Many people have gotten it to work with the non-x2 model you mention, while others have not. End users have had mixed results with the other Eye-Fi™ models. Honestly, we designed the unit to work with the original Eye-Fi™ card.
Q: Would the Eye-Fi™ Pro 4GB Wireless SDHC Card work ok? Redesigning to work with the x2 isn't financially feasible for us. in the CFMulti as fast as CompactFlash?ĭesigning the original version required a huge capital outlay for us, which was never recouped.
On android the app can be set to automatically switch to the eye-fi network when one is detected. On iOS devices you have to manually select the eye-fi network once you take a pic and the card goes active. I am using this on both android phone/table and iOS (iPad3).
It is very easy to setup, you just type the code from the back of the box into the eye-fi app and you're mostly done. I've been using this for about a month now.
So - my view is if you want to tether your Ipad Pro in the field away from Internet Connections using Eyefi then Buy the X2Pro I am on line to a Senior Support Rep in Eyefi Customer Care to determine if I have either a "crap" card OR if I have correctly diagnosed the issue. Unlike the X2 Pro card, the Eye-fi Mobi Pro card was, in my experience, singularly unreliable in direct mode (ie when you connect to the card's wifi signal directly) AND I have been entirely unable to transfer images from the Mobi Card to my Ipad Pro in the field when there is NO other Internet Connection available. I could not disagree with a review more than I do with this review based on my personal experience with the 32GB Mobi Pro card I bought recently.Ī key aspect to the Mobi experience is that the Mobi card connects to your home or studio wi-fi network - uploads images to Mobi in the cloud and then your devices download "automatically" or not images into the eye-fi mobi app on your computer or Ipad etc.
