Title: Tether DSLR to iPad, no jailbreaking, no router
Post by: tom b on September 27, 2011, 06:40:17 pm

Eye-Fi has come up with a new card the Eye-fi connect X2 which will let you connect your DSLR to an iPad without jailbreaking or using a router. Still no CF version though.

Now, we only need they make a CF card to put inside pro bodies.  :(

Thanks for the O.P, this should help a lot of type of photography. I know I will be buying it shortly.

I got the "pro" version and have successfully been using it with my laptop. J-pegs load quite quickly. RAW files take 15 to 20 seconds each. Sure makes it nice when working in studio, to see a large version so quickly, without the need to "sneaker" net, or bother with a cable.

People are astonished how the images come up on the laptop, without a wire connection.

Definitely a good tool to have! Regarding using it with a iPad, I see that usefull, but you can buy a windows laptop for $300 that allows you to do so much more than a $500 iPad. Yep, the iPad is chick, and lighter, and slightly smaller, and batteries last longer,  and the display is really nice, but . . .
