It does but you must provide the hardrive. It acts as the intermediary, like a computer would for copying files from a drive (SD card) to another drive ( user supplied usb drive )
The device is about the size of a deck of cards- a little bigger.
I had solid state drive I put in a 10.00 container, hooked together with a cable. Could probably Velcro them together. All together far lighter, smaller, less expensive if stolen, etc than a laptop.
One can Wi-Fi from the device to an iPad. I suspect it would work with other similar devices. Didn’t try as I only have an iPad. On one YouTube demo, a guy watched movies from the hardrive. I am surprised this worked without buffering issues.
On the iPad you can scan the sd card when in the device. Or download ( my main goal) to the usb drive and scan the drive to review pictures with the iPad.
Device is not lightening fast but could backup 650 raw photos and 650 jpegs in about 5-7 minutes I estimate. Didn’t really time it
I am always concerned about the camera with a card in it getting stolen and hence desire to have a backup. And, I found life to be easier when I could see photos on an iPad sized screen. Looking at the image on a camera is suboptimal, in my opinion, if one has another choice.
Can use device to charge another device although less useful as the gadget stayed in the hotel and I was out and about.
Anyway, works for me. Just sharing my recent experience
The process is pretty simple.
Put the memory card in the NewQ device
Attach the usb drive
Hit SD>usb drive
Attach iPad to the NewQ device Wi-Fi network
Review photos on a large screen
Now you have a backup
That was only goal.
Pretty easy to sort by file type, select all of a certain type, delete selection.
NewQ 3 in 1
Google portable file sharer +router + powerbank // 3 in 1 NEWQ and check out YouTube demo
It backs up the raw as was explained earlier. I just can’t see them on the iPad. Thus I shot raw and jpeg pairs so I could see the latter.
Pretty easy to delete the jpegs when home
I posted a few weeks ago re: this issue.
My experience, after 10 days out of the US, is that the New Q device works well to backup photos to a light solid state USB drive.
It also allows one to create a Wi-Fi network between the New Q device and an iPad (or similar I presume). This was my other goal, to review photos on a larger than a camera screen. That worked pretty well also if a JPEG.
I had no time nor interest in editing at nite.
Happy not to have to deal with a laptop. Internet not required. Pretty inexpensive. Light. Simple. Can be used as a battery to charge other devices.
Does other stuff too that I did not need nor explore.
Just my 2c based on my experience.
Could not get that to work as it seems to want iPad to be tethered to a camera.
In talk,no with Apple, not clear all iPads can read/display raw files. Mine is several generations old…
My solution is to use RAW + JPEG as the iPad can display the jpegs. Wasted space but will work
The device is pretty useful. Can act as a battery for charging, a router and backups files to a ssd with no computer involved. Size of a pack of cigarettes and very light. IMO, worth 70.00
I saw this list but my IOS 16 on iPad doesn’t display the file. There was talk about changing settings in the Apple photos app but I did see any settings to change.
I do not want to put the files on the iPad (limited space); I just want to scan through them and view them quickly.
I purchased a New Q device to backup SD card form a Sony Alpha6400 to a solid state drive. That works
When I attach my 32gb low end iPad (iOS 16.2) via Wi-Fi to the device, I can see a directory/folder of the Sony Raw files on the solid state drive
When I try to view the files, I get an error message stating no app available to read the files. I have searched but don’t see a simple solution for a RAW file reader/ displayer for the iPad. It appears this functionality should be built into the iOS. If so, I don’t see away to get it functioning. There are discussions about setting things to read RAW files but I don’t see these settings
I just want to view the files on a larger screen while on vacation.
I don’t need or want to edit, email, upload, etc, etc
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated
Thanks
If you’re both on the same network, you could port the files from the Mac to a Windows PC. Sort of like getting to and from the ICloud but faster.
What’s also possibly sad, is he may have never heard a correctly set up hi fi system with high resolution music
Are there techniques that allow backing camera memory cards that *don’t require access to a computer*.
I prefer not to take my laptop on longish trip. I’m with using my iPad but it has very limited memory and would not get me much storage.
Thanks
