Holy Grail for photographers? ALMOST (part 1)[ Edited ]Options
08-28-2013 09:55 AM - edited 08-28-2013 10:05 AM I've been looking for some time for a reliable solid state field backup device for SD cards for my professional photography. I just learned of of the Wireless Media Drive ((along with the Wireless Flash Drive) and thought the solution was at hand. I now see that this device cannot currently support direct downloading of SD cards and is intended more as a media hub. The hardware is there for evrything on my wish list (I think...), I don't know which if any of these things are possible, but this is my wishlist:
PLEASE come up with with a firmware update to make tat least some of hese things possible. If you so, I think you will find a large market among professional and enthusiast photographers. Especiall if the implimentation is simple.

Since there is no display, this device is only accessible via an iPAD or Android device app. ON/OFF are the only mechanical controls. You need something like this: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/681428-REG/Digital_Foci_P19_500_PST_251_Photo_Safe_II.html
I don't trust incremental backups. All of my cameras have the option to create a directory each day. Copy yesterday's and today's photo directories each time you use the backup and you will have all your pictures backed up..
I too would like the WMD to be able to accept direct uploads to the WMD internal memory from an SD card. I am a casual user so large capacity and speed are secondary. I like that I can share my pictures on my tablet while I am still on vacation. |
