Do you currently own an iPad or iPad 2 and want to be able to view your photos directly on the screen as you shoot? Wouldn't it be cool to directly tether your camera to the iPad or iPad 2 for larger external display? There are currently a few options out right now and most of them are available for the original iPad. I haven't found anything yet with the iPad 2.
The option is to use an Eye-Fi Pro, jailbreak iPad to use the "MyWi" app to create a ad-hoc wireless network, and the app "ShuttSnitch". As of right now photographer David Ziser has found a way to shoot tethered, images from his Canon 7D are sent to the iPad 2. He takes it one step further by then connecting the iPad 2 to a projector to have an even larger image for others to see. He hasn't given his secrets yet but I'll be sure to post it once I learn of it.

May i know if i need to buy a wireless transmitter for my 5DM2 in order to transfer the image to ipad ?
ReplyDeleteDouglas,
ReplyDeleteYou do not need a wireless transmitter for the 5DMII. The eye-fi pro card will transmit directly to your iPad with it's software. I find the eye-fi software no where as good as shuttersnitch. For now I'm just scratching the whole wireless fe transfer and using a CF reader for the iPad. Simplifies everything and much cheaper. Only $30, mace by MIC
Thank you for your reply :)
ReplyDeleteAm i right to say that with eye-fi to shuttersnitch and setting a private network using MyWi, the whole setup is complete ?
May i know if there is a eye-fi pro CF card ? there is only SD available for eye-fi. How can i do it ?
Oh please let me know when you have this figured out for the iPad 2! This would make my life so much better. Do you know a way to tether directly to a monitor with no computer? If you can tether to a tv you can tether to a monitor, right?
ReplyDeleteI have a ReplayXD camera with hdmi output, I need to uses my ipad2 for an external monitor is ther a way to
ReplyDeleteHook it up to I and stream live video from it. I was at the LS fest in Boling Green this year and bought the replay I thought I saw them using the ReplayXD with the ipad2 .
