    Travel Photo Back-up Solution

    in Other Fuji X Accessories

    Posted

    I came across a wonderful, inexpensive and fast solution to backing up my SD cards when traveling.  I use it as insurance that if the camera is stolen, or an SD card fails.  The solution is a hack of the RavPower Filehub that I bought a year ago.  It costs about 40$ and works as a link between my SD cards and any USB drive.  I tend to us a few thumb drives, but any USB drive might work.  Following the instructions on the website it took my about 45 mins to get it to work.  I am not a computer programmer.  I know other 'pro' solutions exist but for hundreds of dollars, and the WB drive that used to be sold is not well reviewed. So far after a few weeks the solution seems solid.

    So I have been playing with the RAVPower 3 and it seems to have a reasonable interface on my iPhone, it could be used as a NAS and you can go to a "webpage" if you don't want to use the App.  

    When transferring Jpeg I was able to transfer 200 photos from the SD card to a USB memory stick in 20 mins. 

    At about 50$ for the USB and the device it seems like a no brainer.

    I typically never go higher then 32, but I do have a few 64s.  I just take my full wallet full of cards on a trip.  I don't erase them until you get home and get them backed up, and use a wireless drive to back them up while out (Card plus Wireless = 2 copies).  That's my set up...

     

    Are you using the WD passport for the back up?  I am curious about a compact backup system?

    Bag insert

    I'm about to travel overseas. I've never been pleased with traditional camera bags, I'm considering a messanger style bag with an insert. I'm shooting an XT10 with the 18-55. I have a couple of batteries a pair of filters and will likely have a small tripod. I'm looking for suggestions for an insert or an alternative.

    Thanks
