Thank you, Toby. This video was great at explaining how to set everything up. Picked up a 16GB ProX2 yesterday while it was on sale. I'm happy that it's able to use the dedicated RATE button on the 7D2 and only send over what I want. WiFi transfer is the only thing I really use with WiFi.

[@MarcoTrafecanteLamboy]

How would the selective uploading work for nikons?

[@mjjf7220]

I'm very grateful that you don't use that wall behind you for some kind of sharpness or pixel-peeping test!

[@DEVUNK88]

I would suppose that canon has not added wifi, possibly due to ever changing technology, if your camera has wifi and for some reason it becomes incompatible with some new wireless file transfer then your camera would not work anymore. but if all you need to do is buy a wifi card or some other device for wireless transfer than your always current and never limited, but not limited canon

[@Muzaffarali066]

can we take pictures (remotely control) our dslr from smartphone by wifi connection of this (wifi enable card).??

[@bjarnegertz7225]

I know it's a while ago - but found this very nice video. I tried to follow the steps, but my iPhone losses the connection to the Eye fi as soon as I set the card into the camera. Any suggestions. I've increased the timings in the setup to 3 mins. Hitting the rate button doesn't activate the network....

[@photorectoby]

+Bjarne Gertz Reach out to Eye-fi support, they are very good at helping.

[@airduce]

+Bjarne Gertz Same thing is happening to me on my android phone. It says 'not in range' relating to the card on my phone. It does connect when I run it while the card is plugged into the computer. Did you ever find out what is going on?

[@sean95690]

Hi just what I was looking for when taking time photos can I so it from the app and tap on the subject to focus thanks from the uk

[@Photoshopuzr]

I like your explanation on these cards. I would of taken the mobile one if I didn't know better but I also like the option to choose when. Great info thanks.

[@goldburstcelebrityph]

Toby, Thanks very much for this Video; I need to watch this many times, so I can best understand, figure and try applying this; I'm very happy of this video, and wanting to use this idea in my Light Room;

[@MixDJKaraoke]

Toby, with that Wi-Fi can we stream video to our PC to project in full screen the video with our projector? I understand that feature is possible with the canon 70D, right?

[@alexbusca]

Ok so, all of the small jpgs are going to take space on my eye-fi card ? Can I still shoot having a 64gb cf in there and when i press protect is it going to ad a protect info on both of my cards? so the cf and the eye-fy ?

[@swiftdetecting]

there a way to make cards work again as they got brought out

[@AbrahamDakin]

Nice video - good idea with the dual card slot

[@johncampbell335]

Hey Toby Any idea on the approximate range for the wifi signal? I'm wondering: if I had the software on my laptop, how far away can I wander away from it and still transfer images successfully? Thank you for sharing all the quality free content!

[@photorectoby]

John Campbell With line of sight I can get 30-50 feet easy. Sometimes a little more. Depends lots on the camera you slide the card into - how solidly built is it, how much it blocks the signal.

[@tobyhines7587]

GREAT VIDEO! I've been using Eye Fi for awhile transferring every pic to My computer I like Your setup, Will give it a try Don't own a cell phone but have a kindle fire.

[@donaldthorson8286]

Toby you crack me up..."I'm not talking to you" too funny, awesome video as usual, thanks for the instruction, suggestions and review. I am going to look into the Eye-Fi card for sure...

[@MuxyMusic]

Is it possible to use it as a live view video monitor for you iPhone ?

[@snapplepie1267]

How reliable are Eye-Fi cards? Sure, any form of media storage has the chance to fail at any given time, but expecting photos to transfer and for them ending up not going through for whatever reason is a bit off-putting. Currently shooting with a 6D & 1D4 atm and would like some sort of extra "backup" in the form of immediate wireless transfer

[@Terminator1138]

Curious as I'm also looking at the FlashAir II which is an option and have a question about the eye-fi card. My question is this...does it connect to the tablet/phone and need a wifi router to connect to transfer aka part of an established network or does it create its own network hotspot? Earlier posts shows that eye-fi has to be part of a network wifi connection to work vs toshiba creating its own hotspot. Basically do I have to have a portable wifi router as well or just my tablet/smartphone and camera in the woods? Thanks.

[@tiffyhughes312]

I have canon Sl2 or 6D camera and will it works with iPad, not iPhone?

[@rob24242]

What is the estimated transfer time for Raw files? If I'm shooting and want to share the real time images with a client/creative director, would you suggest making the transfers in jpeg only; or is there an alternative for tethered shooting? Thanks.

[@photorectoby]

Robert Nicolas Long USB cord and shoot tethered to Lightroom. - That would be my suggestions. RAWs can be quick if you are nearby - just a few seconds but there are pauses at times so a wired approach is going to give you better, more consistent results.

[@hengkylinggadjaja5330]

I had canon 7D but not mark II, can use this wifi card? Thank's a lot.

[@GreenPeasProductions]

Does the eye fi card only give you to images stored on the eye fi card? I am just wanting to be able to pull selected pix from my 7D2 to my iPhone to send as a comp, or maybe instagram.Can you still use the rate trick to send photos you select to your device using the less expensive mobi cards?

[@sarahkarren393]

Looks like this card has been discontinued by the manufacturer. Where can I purchase, or is there another card you recommend? Thanks!

[@flynnvanherwijnen7626]

You could buy the Canon one for about 45 dollars, depending on where you buy it obviously

[@Photoshopuzr]

Ordered mine yesterday before the end of the deal.

[@jamesturner8332]

If I shoot RAW + jpeg will the jpeg file transfer to my mobile but still keep the RAW on the card for post processing later?

[@domnicrozariod7367]

you're using DSLR n take blur videos for tutorial?

[@go2activevideo]

Can this be used to stream video through to the. Sling studio system?

[@goldburstcelebrityph]

If i put in order, for this card, how long will take to get it at my location?

[@photorectoby]

+GOLDBURST CELEBRITY I don't know. You buy from Amazon and they can often get things to you in two days.

[@eltonnanton7705]

Hello Toby, can you tell me the brand of the camera mount on your left. Cheers

[@OmuNaki]

Nikon, you're welcome

[@Kgaurabdas]

how it works like how much distance from camera to mobile ???

[@photorectoby]

I found it worked out to about 50 feet or so. Really depends on your angle and direction from the side of the camera with the card.

[@adriandavidpayne]

How many seconds between the click and when it makes it to the iPad?

[@kevinwinklaar6273]

with i pad it was ... 2 to 5 seconds per image shooting in large fine

[@ameyrele]

Can it be used with other camera's as well?

[@photorectoby]

Amey Rele Yes - many of the current cameras support Eye-Fi, not just Canon.

[@tysondavid2328]

how can this memory card??? .... pls reply me fast

[@25664940]

I put my eye-fi mobi 16GB card into my Canon 7D Mk ll, enabled eyefi via camera settings, downloaded and installed app on my Samsung Galaxy S4 using the activation code, took a picture with 7D, image is not transferring to phone. On the camera, the wifi symbol is in the transferring mode but file not transferring. Any advice please?

[@RayReyes79]

That's what I'm worried about.. Did u get the Mobi Pro X2?

[@adriankhalil655]

Have you realised the info on how to control your 7d mark ii wirelessly

[@tysondavid2328]

what about for videos ???? is it we can use our mobile phones as a portable screen

[@photorectoby]

No - for video take a look at DSLR controller and using a OTG cable. No wireless options unless you go with a more expensive system like camranger.

[@tysondavid2328]

is this WiFi card can be use as normal memory card which means is photos will saved in it

[@tysondavid2328]

if the images are been transferred like this , is it reduces quality of the image

[@AnkurTripathi]

does any one have Grainy images issues with 7D mark 2

[@photorectoby]

its quite possible you are shooting at higher ISOs than you should. I had the same issues when I was first starting out. Pay attention to your ISO and don't expect shots to be super clean when you look at them at 100%

[@josudelinaza195]

Is it possible to shoot only RAW photos, with only the Eye-fi card inside my 7D, then transfer any RAW photo (only the ones I choose) to my Samsung S5 and be able to see the photo correctly in my Smartphone camera roll (and send it through whatsapp? I ask you that because I have a wified G7X and I´m not able to manage RAW files with Canon official app, and would prefer not to shoot in RAW+JPEG mode with my 7D :( . Thank you so much and congrats for your chanel (also sorry about my english if I wrote any "trash" :)

[@photorectoby]

Using the ProX2 cards from Eye-Fi www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/896329-REG/Eye_Fi_eye_fi_16pc_16GB_SDHC_Memory_Card.html?BI=4773&KBID=5287 you can transfer the RAW files you choose. I don't know about the S5 but I suspect you will need a program that can view and decode RAW files, only then will you be able to see them in the camera roll. Let me know if you find that it can show them natively.

[@NickMach007]

Still can't believe they didn't putWi-Fi into their flagship aps-c camera! Though I do wish my 70d had GPS built in...

[@Accipiter22]

the metal body prevents it

[@ธารินไชยยา]

EYE-FI PROX2 and 7d mark ii ???? no wifi

[@sumanrai8652]

forgotten password how to find , reset ??

[@ericjohnston3569]

update your vid time. canon has their own wi fi card for this camera.

[@RoadsideRon]

I have a cannon mark ii and I'd like to watch your videos but you tend to speak a lot of words yet say very little.

[@LakshanW]

Dumb question.....What if the tablets connected to your home wifi. You'll have to switch everytime you want to transfer ?

[@777VAZ]

Men u just bought the 6ti just for the wifi

[@ambicadigital10]

EYE/FI CARD SOFTWARE SUPPPORT NOT

[@ronaldgordon4322]

Ll

[@oasisbeyond]

So you need a laptop... Not just a phone or tablet? That's pretty useless then.

[@photorectoby]

To setup you need a computer. Once setup you don't ever have to use a computer again.

[@stoneworrior]

oasisbeyond, If you are using a DSLR you are using a computer in one form or another. Be it a laptop or desktop you need to transfer the photos over and process them, how does this make the card useless?
