Eyefi Mobi Pro is an SDHC memory card with a pro punch: available in 16GB and 32GB capacity, it includes built-in WiFi that connects your camera, at lightning speeds to your smartphone, tablet, PC or Mac.
I’m in the midst of building a for archiving purposes. My is based on using 2 matching inexpensive high resolution point-and-shoot cameras , running hacked firmware to accept, and to automatically upload images directly to the computer, with no need to tether (or remove) the cameras to get the images.The Eye-Fi Memory cards have built-in Wi-fi controllers that automatically upload images to the internet. You can have them upload videos and pictures direct to. I got (2) matching 2GB Eye-Fi Cards for $20 each at! This way, the book scanner can work systematically through a book in an hour, and only need to shoot pictures and flip pages. This also allows the book scanner to be slightly more portable, as well.
Mastering the final images into paginated PDF files will be another discussionTo get the camera to boot, the SD card has to be placed in the “lock” position by flipping a switch on the of the card. However, the Eye-Fi SD Card has no such lock, by design. After following and using an Xacto blade, I cut a slot in the side of the card, permanently locking it. Tools Required: Sharp X-Acto KnifeLine up a regular SD Card, make Notches at ends of the ‘lock’ cutoutCut Trenches as deep as the cutout should be on both the top and bottom.Work it until the plastic comes free.
It’s easy to cut, especially once you get a few passes through the soft plastic. Be careful working with an X-Acto blade! You can injure yourself easily.
Always cut away from your body! Close Up of Final NotchNo damage to the internal memory chips; it’s still able to save images, even in the locked position. A hint of Scotch tape, placed over the new slot, will ‘unlock’ the card for stubborn readers. Eye-Fi Before, Eye-Fi After beside the standard SD Card.
les robots had a defective card on his hands and when a replacement was sent, he was told to destroy the original. What better way to ‘destroy’ something than opening the case? The is an SD card with a builtin WiFi radio so it can upload images while remaining in camera. One uses Skyhook’s location service to geotag photos. You can see a few photos of the.
The board is manufactured by Wintec. The wireless side is handled by Atheros’ ROCm, the same low power Radio-on-Chip module you would find in a mobile phone. The flash memory comes from Samsung and the antenna is, where it has the best chance of getting signal.Posted in, Tagged, Post navigation. And since it’s SD, it doesn’t even work in pro cameras?Posted at 6:04 pm on Feb 1st, 2009 by thethirdmoose@thethirdmoose, i guess you don’t keep up much with pro cameras, or your idea of a pro camera isn’t actually a pro camera. The 1d mark 3 uses both sd and CF slots. So it would be able to. However both nikon and canon have wireless setups already so this makes this item kinda useless for them as well.
Then you get into non-pro the prosumer type slr’s which many do and do not have sd slots any more. Nikons have more models with sd than canon’s do but again a moot point to your opinions about pro users.as for this card it is a neat little item that would probably work well for lots of scenarios.oh and for basically being able to do what a cellphone does? Yeah show me a cell phone that takes pictures and instead of storing them on their memory automatically transfers them to a pc somewhere.
And takes a picture at 800 iso with any quality at allwell any phone that has any quality at all:P. Although it’s a bit pedantic I would point out that to use wifi from an unattended car you’d better hide the laptop from sight well, but if it’s too hidden, like in the trunk, then the wifi would be shielded and require an external antenna.In a related story: in Britain the cops say thieves use bluetooth to detect which car has BT devices to loot (can’t win can you, sigh), and that makes you realise cops themselves could detect wifi from cameras, and their nearby laptop receiver, one assumes.Of course in general cops don’t do that much effort, but still. I had one of these. It’s a great toy for people that dabble with photographs and cant be bothered with taking a card out. They take FOREVER to upload the images to the laptop or PC compared to a real reader. My camera cant shoot rapid fire for more than 20 photos until it locks up waiting for downloads to finish.Interesting idea, really REALLY short range, your laptop needs to be on you or within 10 feet, and because it’s not 802.11n it’s slow as molasses, after 10 feet it gets even slower. At 25 feet it’s insanely slow.I returned mine and bought 6 4gig 366X cards for the same price.
They offload in my firewire card reader faster than the camera could write to them. @james n82 camera has a CRAPPY camera. Got one on my hip now, it sucks as a camera. Dude go buy a $99.00 canon point and shoot.
Even my old throwaway 2.1 megapixel canon from 1999 kicks the crap out of the photos that an N82 can do.20 bajillion megapixel means nothing, real optics mean everything, no camera made has any real optics, only that ceramic lens crap that is in every single phone because of space. Ceramic lenses cant get tack clear focus (plus no cellphone has a real focus only a infinite focus blob lens.). Regards download speed – I’ve looked at the rf front end and the Atheros chipset.Unfortunately guys – no way round it: you are stuck with the limited download speed – the db/dbm output (real low), and the antenna design (which by virtue of its size and physical layout constraints ain’t going to change)adds up to an in-efficient rf link.
No way round this one guys – except to hack into the HAL (layer) and modify the Tx db/dbm level. – yes, but well beyond the average user skill level.None the less a cool product – which could offer real world usable genuine 100meter plus radius download distance (indoors) if manufactured with a 900Mhz rf front end – could be used with Ubiquiti networks 900MHz wireless cards.
900Mhz Ub router card with external antenna – just think of the uses!
