Using Eye-Fi with Nikon D700, D300, D300s…..

How did you do this? I have the synchrotech adapter and the correct eye-fi…. but the adapter is CF type II and those listed Nikon bodies are CF type I. Did I buy the wrong adapter?

How did those who have any nikon other than the D3 get it to work?

The easiest way to tether to your iPad for image review is buy an Eye-Fi SD card and an iPad app called Shutter Snitch. No computer required.

No, the video ring light used with the iPhone is a cheapo eBay one (it’s not a flash!) and the one used with the 5D is the Profoto one yes. Go check my blog for links and more info :)

Hmmm, so I am wrong… when Cris said that he got his Ringflash from eBay, i assumed it was a cheapo one, like AlienBee. It is actually Profoto (look at his blog). Sorry Peter! I was wrong.

There is no need to use a router if you are using the Canon WiFi grip, just set up an AdHoc network and get the iPad to join that, set your static IPs and you are away with no router etc… Not sure if this works with an EyeFi card though.

As for the comments on Stef’s modelling, give it a rest lads! Is no one allowed to start out anymore ??? At least offer some thing constructive, I think she is amazing to work with she has the best attitude of any model I’ve ever worked with.

The ring light is from eBay, check my blog for a link to that.

I get an embedded video permission error when trying to view the vid on your site? But, it does work when i click thru to vimeo. Also, I run eye-fi to ipad thru my verizon mifi router when outside. Worked great, till my ipad ran away on my last flight into Charleston.

That is definitely not the alien bee ring flash. You can tell because it does not have that horrible plastic tripod mount and the PC sync is on the side of this ring flash. I think this is the profoto one?

Wow, I thought this ipad tether thing was old news. I actually wrote this post a long time ago and scheduled it because Chris didn’t want it to up just yet.

Anyway, I bought an ipad and an eye-fi card a few weeks ago and it does tether. The main issue though is that both the eye-fi card and the iPad must be connected to the same router. This is fine if you are shooting inside, but what about on location?

Well you can get a battery powered router but I may have a better idea. I jailbroke my iPad and got the app “MyWi” which turns my ipad into a hotspot. The problem is that it is an AdHoc hotspot and only the pro eye-fi cards can connect to AdHoc networks.

I am going to have to drop $150 to get the pro card but if it works like I think it should, my camera should be able to send files directly to my ipad for relatively cheap no matter where I am.
