And that is this:Įach time I left the adapter in without a card, after about 5-10 minutes (I didn't time it) I'd get this message. So it would appear that my efforts have paid off, and I have a very slick CF adapter for my iPad 2! One thing did alarm me during my very brief testing, however. But does it work? That's probably fairly important, right? I certainly love the size of it, and it compliments the CCK very well. Minimilistic packaging, but not quite as minimal as the kings of this, Apple. So, I picked a manufacturer and an adapter (based on instinct and which ever reviews seemed most geared toward my positive logic) and three days later: Reviews were all a mixed bag, so I knew that I'd be taking a chance, and might have to use the CCK with my camera directly after all. I searched Amazon for an iPad CF adapter, and found just a couple of them. And that's where Amazon/IDS and HKtimes come in to play. I figured of course, that there would have to be more than just that one version out there, even if it was a very niche product at this point.
Too bad for me though, I needed an CF adapter ASAP, and the one from MIC likely wouldn't get to me for a couple of weeks. He has personally used these and even did a review on them. Terry White, who is an Adobe evangalist, and Photoshop guru, was kind enough to tell me about a dedicated compact flash adapter for the iPad, from The MIC Store. And a better one than simply hooking the camera up to the CCK. (oooh suspense!)Īnyway, after finding out that my card reader was not going to work, I looked around for a different solution. However, knowing what I know now, I still would have. Guess I didn't do enough research before getting the CCK, else I might not have purchased it. This also left a lot of people out in the cold, who previously were able to use pretty much any card reader out there. This would ensure that hardly any third party device would be able to access this port. Unfortunately, after the iPad's 4.2 firmware update, Apple changed the power draw of the 30 pin port from 100mw to a ridiculous 20mw. Increased risk of data corruption without recovery. And if you're still away from a wall socket, this is obviously a problem. Some people might wonder why this would be a problem, when you can simply hook the camera up directly to the CCK's (camera connection kit) USB connector? Well, the answer is three fold:ġ. Sorrrreee! Anyway, the thread was created out of my being frustrated with the iPad camera connection kit, and its inability to be used with a card reader so that I may be able to use a compact flash card.
A couple of days ago, I posted a thread Here, which of course now that I look at it, is in the wrong section of the forums.
