CamFi has launched the CamFi Pro, a souped-up version of its wireless remote controller that can allegedly transfer your photos at a rate of up to 10Mbps between the camera and a secondary device such as a laptop or smartphone. This, according to CamFi, will make the Pro `the fastest wireless camera controller in the world.`
The new device uses 5.8G communications to move data much more quickly than usual, making it possible to stream video in addition to sending larger files and sequences far more quickly. The idea is that users can transfer images directly to a computer or tablet as they are shot without tethering or relying on the slow transfer rates of most cameras` built-in Wi-Fi systems.
The CamFi Pro will work with a range of Nikon, Canon and Sony cameras, and will allow users the choice to transmit Raw and JPEG files simultaneously, or send one type over Wi-Fi and save the other to the camera´s memory card.
Additional features include the ability to control the settings of a single camera while simultaneously triggering multiple cameras in sequence to create `time slice´ effects; support for HDR image capture (read: bracketing), focus stacking, and timelapse videos; and an Auto Print mode that lets the photographer send files straight to a printer via the CamFi Matrix software-ideal for providing high-quality prints on the fly while shooting events.
The company is raising funding via Indiegogo, and needs $5,000 to make the project viable. Prices start from $200 for backers, after which the cost is expected to raise to $300, so supporters of the campaign get a pretty sizable discount.
