Hi.  I have an upcoming trip to the San Francisco area. We have our iPad Air version 1, but no laptop.  While it's easy to offload to the iPad using the SD card to lighting adapter, I'm hoping to find a solution to offload directly to a portable storage device without being connected to a laptop or PC.  I'll be setting up my X-T2 to record RAW to card slot 1 and jpeg to card slot 2, thinking offload RAW to the portable storage device and jpeg to the iPad.  Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Currently using the WD Passport Wireless 500gb, which sells for like 160 euro here in the Netherlands. It's not a quick back-up, but with some patience it is near perfect. You can connect wirelessly from your ipad and view the imported photos. Downside in my opinion is the fact that a mechanical harddrive is used, so carrrying around is recommended with some sort of protection. If you want more speed and options, the WD Passport Wireless Pro is a good choice. Battery can be used to charge your phone/ipad, can stream videos wirelessly, if im not mistaken reading SD cards is faster, but it is more expensive.

I have used a Hyperdrive Colorspace device for a few years and it does an excellent job of backing up and viewing digital camera files and videos. I have the UDMA2 version with 1TB drive but that's been replaced by the UDMA3. I bought mine from Amazon UK.

I have one of these and I find the SD card backup quite fast.

Thanks everyone.  None of our stores in Hawaii have either one, which is not surprising.  A few stores have the WD in stock in the SF area, so I'll be sure to check it out in person during our trip.  Thanks again.  If I get any shots worth posting, I'll be sure to upload.

      GFX 100s not connecting to Mac via USB-C

      By jerryy · Posted

      Okay, just for completeness sake: 1.     The camera’s menu connection setting is USB CARD READER. 2.    The computer is turned on, booted and nicely operational. 3..    With the camera turned off, connect the camera to the computer using a known-to-be-good USB C data plus power cable (a data only cable should work as well, a power only cable will not work). 3.   The camera’s charging light may turn on. Turn the camera on. The back screen probably will show the USB symbol as well as the USB letters. 4.    Start up the Image Capture app and see if the camera’s name appears in the devices list. 5.    In the Apple menu, select ‘About This Mac’, click on the ‘more Info…’ button, and on the right hand side of the window that opens, at its bottom is a button called ‘System Report…’, click on it. A new window should open, the left hand side has collapsible dropdown listings, the first is called “Hardware’, within it is the USB listing, select that. The right side pane should give you listings of all the USB devices connected at that moment, one of them should say something like USB PTP Camera. Does either 4. or 5. work?

      GFX 100s not connecting to Mac via USB-C

      By jmm123 · Posted

      Thanks, Yes I knew about the USB issue in newer Macs and macOS but that is why I tested it with High Sierra as well. Also the fact that every other camera easily connects via USB direct with the camera - definitely points out the fact that it is a FUJI specific problem.  Furthermore - I remember being able to direct connect early last year. I rarely take the Cards OUT of the camera  these days. The weird thing is I can connect my iPhone 15 via USB-C to 100s and pull files directly - puzzling. Problem is FUJI rarely listens to anyone.

      Focus Sound on NEW XF33mm F1.4 R LM WR

      By Jk1006 · Posted

      Hi all, I notice that there are some focusing sound on my XF33 despite it being said as completely silent in many review. The focusing sound is kind of like stepping motor sound, and it only appears when I’m shooting photo. I try shooting near and far away and there is sound. However, it is completely silence when I shoot videos. Is it normal or do I need to change some of my setting? Or am I just getting a not too good copy haha. please assist me with the matter guys! Thanks!

      Cheeper back-up to my X-H2 (AF between X-H1, X-T3, and X-T4)

      By Tomek666 · Posted

      I'm think I'm starting to answer my own question here.  X-H1 will be the same as X-T2. XT-3 and XT-4 have the same sensors but not sure about the processors.  Would make sense to go for the 4 due to same battery as the X-H2.
