<div>Thanks Olga. Unfortunately my Eye-Fi card is an old X2 Pro. I think the mobi cards are handled separately. In any case I WAS able to get the app back on via a third-party application but it's impossible to reinstall/input the wireless profile on the app because the Eye-Fi X2 servers are closed for business.</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>eyefi mobi app download iphone</div><div></div><div>DOWNLOAD: https://t.co/TK4FksA8HD </div><div></div><div></div><div>The Eyefi box directs users straight to a setup website, which makes finding the setup steps easy. The website has instructions for setting the Mobi Pro up to connect to a mobile device or a computer.</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>Connecting the Mobi Pro to a mobile device first requires a download of the accompanying Eyefi app. On iOS, the app is called Eyefi Mobi and is available for free in the App Store. Once installed, the app asks for an activation code, which is included in the box, and it will ask you to install a provisioning profile to allow the iPhone to recognize the Mobi Pro card.</div><div></div><div></div><div>The Eyefi Mobi Pro is a card that's suitable for DSLR users who want a way to automatically transfer RAW and JPEG files to their computers or mobile devices. On average, a 32GB class 10 SD card can be purchased for under $20, so at $99 for the Eyefi Mobi Pro, you're paying quite a premium for convenience.</div><div></div><div></div><div>The Eye-Fi Mobi connects to a mobile device or computer strictly via its own wireless network. In fact, the connection setup is easier with the Mobi card than it is with the Pro X2. I had no trouble connecting to an iPad or iPhone with the Mobi after following the necessary steps.</div><div></div><div></div><div>First I had to download the Eye-Fi application for my phone from Apple's App Store (also available for Android on Google Play). Then I placed the Mobi card in my Mark III, and enabled Wi-Fi transmission in the Mark III's menu. I disabled the Auto Power Off feature on the Mark III because the Eye-Fi Mobi gets its power from the camera's battery, and auto sleep disrupts the Wi-Fi connection. Then I joined the Mobi's wireless network on the mobile device and opened up the Eye-Fi application. As I began shooting, the JPEGs I captured began uploading to the gallery in the Eye-Fi application, which were subsequently saved to the camera roll on my device.</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>Like my experience with the Pro X2 card, I was highly impressed with the performance of the Mobi card in conjunction with the mobile device application. Everything is simplified and easy to use, including a nice gallery with sharing options for Facebook, Twitter and email. As with the camera, it was important to disable Sleep on the mobile device to retain a solid connection. This ran down the battery life of the mobile devices I tested significantly. I found the best setup was to keep the iPad, iPhone, or MacBook plugged in during long shoots.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Fortunately, the Eye-Fi Mobi gave me a nearly identical performance to the Pro X2 card. The Mobi was solid and reliable, and I never had any issues with the card not being recognized by a computer when hard-connected via an SD card reader. Aside from running down the battery life of my camera and mobile device or computer, the Mobi was rather flawless.</div><div></div><div></div><div>In terms of speed, the Mobi could upload a 5.5MP (2MB) JPEG in approximately 5 seconds. This test was carried out on my iPhone 5, iPad 2 and MacBook Pro, and I came up with approximately the same results on all three. Now, keep in mind that while shooting with the Mobi, I was able to see the image I just took pop up on my mobile device or laptop in around 5 seconds. That's fully uploaded, and not just a preview. And, if 5 seconds was too long, I could always capture a smaller JPEG. When I shot in 'S2' and VGA sizes on my 5D Mark III, the transfer was almost instantaneous. This is the time it took from shutter button to full upload, as there is a slight delay while the Wi-Fi signal transmits. The actual transfer time was much quicker, but I wanted a real-world sample of what can be expected while out in the field.</div><div></div><div></div><div>I could not disagree with a review more than I do with this review based on my personal experience with the 32GB Mobi Pro card I bought recently. </div><div></div><div>A key aspect to the Mobi experience is that the Mobi card connects to your home or studio wi-fi network - uploads images to Mobi in the cloud and then your devices download "automatically" or not images into the eye-fi mobi app on your computer or Ipad etc. Unlike the X2 Pro card, the Eye-fi Mobi Pro card was, in my experience, singularly unreliable in direct mode (ie when you connect to the card's wifi signal directly) AND I have been entirely unable to transfer images from the Mobi Card to my Ipad Pro in the field when there is NO other Internet Connection available. </div><div></div><div>I am on line to a Senior Support Rep in Eyefi Customer Care to determine if I have either a "crap" card OR if I have correctly diagnosed the issue.</div><div></div><div>So - my view is if you want to tether your Ipad Pro in the field away from Internet Connections using Eyefi then Buy the X2Pro</div><div></div><div></div><div>I got the mobi and it has been rock solid..... And just the features that are key: transferring the jpeg half of raw+jpeg to my phone. I don't want the raw files on my phone. Take up too much space and no need. But having the jpgs all there is great. If I want to save space I can delete some but honestly I can fit thousands at a time.</div><div></div><div></div><div>It may be a bit late for this but with the eyefi card you can configure it so it only transmit the photos that you protect in camera. So if you want to send one to your phone or tablet you protect the image in the camera and it only sends that one.</div><div></div><div></div><div>I use an older version of Eye-Fi. It it very handy and possibly the fastest way to get JPEG pictures off your camera to your mobile device, (and even to your computer), or cloud through your mobile device. Indeed money well spent. It gives more traditional cameras that don't have wi-fi built-in a fighting chance vs. smartphones, seriously. We live in a world that likes to brag about what it's doing on social networks, and with the advent of the smartphone a few years ago, being able to instantly upload photos taken is very much a necessity today for very many people.</div><div></div><div></div><div>I use this card all the time now. Shooting raw+small jpeg allows me to do quick selects edits on the iphone for posting to facebook/etc from a camera that has no built-in wifi. Results are excellent, it's super quick to get those up compared to editing raw, and can be done on the go. And I always have the RAWs for prints/jobs/etc. Despite limitations, for me personally, best 100 bucks I've spent on camera equipment in a while.</div><div></div><div></div><div>The Ey-fi mobi sells for about A$50 which is same price as the MobileLite Wireless Flash Reader. Yes you have to pay about A$10 for an class 10 card, but there is one thing the MobileLite Wireless Flash Reader can do is back up to a USB key.</div><div></div><div></div><div>"Except for social media sharing via a phone when you have no laptop handy, I just don't see the point."</div><div></div><div>Setting aside pro photographers who needs to instantly review an enlarged picture of their shots, Geeks like wireless connections...It is the future for them even if it drains batteries of their cameras and mobile devices... ;-)</div><div></div><div>Personally, I give priority to battery life.</div><div></div><div></div><div>The new simplified mobile setup uses a 10-digit code to instantly pair the Eyefi app on your smartphone or tablet with the Eyefi Mobi card. This makes it the perfect quick pick-up while traveling if you need more photo storage and want to see your camera captures on your tablet or phone.</div><div></div><div></div><div>I have two eyefi SD cards that I love dearly because they make my workflow at lot easier in those rare cases when I use one of my Fujifilm cameras. How do you get photos from the camera to an iPhone or iPad?</div><div></div><div></div><div>The eyefi cards present themselves as a wireless access point to which you connect. It's not a straightforward password + filesystem approach. You have to use the eyefi mobi app which installs a profile on your phone. This profile contains the credentials, and you need to use the same app to transfer the photos. Not very convenient but a lot better than using dongles and cables.</div><div></div><div></div><div>The Mobi Pro not only allows you to transfer raw files to your computer, you can also send images (JPEG only, if I'm correct) to a mobile device. You only have to install the Eyefi Mobi app, enter the card's serial number in the app and connect your mobile device to the wifi network that the card emits. It was really nice to see the images that I was shooting with my wifi-less X-Pro 1 appearing on my iPhone.</div><div></div><div></div><div>So, if nothing else, this card enables you to transfer images that you shoot with a non-wifi equipped camera to a tablet or phone, from which you could then share them to Instagram, Facebook or edit them in an App such as Snapseed. Heck, if you're a Lightroom CC user, you could even have them automatically imported in Lightroom mobile and that way have them wind up in your desktop version of Lightroom, too. Lots of possibilities there!</div><div></div><div></div><div>Although the concept sounds nice enough, I personally won't be using this service as I already have a full computer backup through backblaze.com and I use Lightroom mobile to display and sync my images online across different devices.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Wow that is so amazing! Lately I have been annoyed at having to transfer my photos and send them to myself via email or something in order to be able to post the images on Instagram. It takes quite a bit of time to do this, so this eyefi would save so much time!</div><div></div><div></div><div>Of course, these cameras also come with an app to allow you to easily transfer the photos and videos to your computer or mobile device. Prior to this era, what we now see as an obvious feature could only be accomplished by adding an external WiFi-enabled SD card and no, a good camera is not going to lose its value as quickly as a smartphone, so a 10-year old or more (vintage) Canon DSLR is still able to capture some gorgeous shots.</div><div></div><div> 7c6cff6d22</div>
