Eye-Fi has today announced a new addition to their range of memory cards in the form of the Eye-Fi Mobile X2, 8GB Wireless Memory Card. This innovative card can be used with Eye-Fi’s new Direct Mode iOS and Android applications for immediate uploading to devices.
The new Eye-Fi Mobile X2 card can now establish a direct connection to a mobile device by creating its own Wi-Fi network anywhere users capture images, even miles from a Wi-Fi hotspot. This allows users to send photos and videos directly from their digital camera to their Eye-Fi app in an instant. Watch a quick demo video of the new Eye-Fi Mobile X2 card after the jump.
Features and Benefits of Eye-Fi Mobile X2
The Eye-Fi Mobile X2 is packed with features that make it a must-have for photography enthusiasts and professionals alike. One of the standout features is its ability to create its own Wi-Fi network. This means that even if you are in a remote location without any Wi-Fi hotspots, you can still transfer your photos and videos directly to your mobile device. This is particularly useful for travel photographers who often find themselves in locations without reliable internet access.
Another significant benefit is the convenience of immediate uploading. With the Eye-Fi Mobile X2, you no longer have to wait until you get home to transfer your photos. You can do it on the go, ensuring that your images are backed up and ready to be shared almost instantly. This can be a game-changer for social media influencers and content creators who need to upload high-quality images in real-time.
The new Eye-Fi Mobile X2 is currently available to pre-order on Amazon.com, and will be shipping worldwide for $79.99 on April 17, 2011.
Compatibility and Pricing
The new Direct Mode application is available as a free upgrade to all Eye-Fi X2 cards and will be arriving later this week on iPhone, iPad, and Android devices. This ensures that existing Eye-Fi users can also benefit from the new features without having to purchase a new card. The already existing Eye-Fi Pro X2 will be reduced from $149.99 to $99.99 starting this month, making it more accessible for those who need advanced features like RAW file support and geotagging.
Moreover, the Eye-Fi Mobile X2 is designed to be compatible with a wide range of digital cameras. This means you don’t have to worry about whether your camera will work with the card. Simply insert the Eye-Fi Mobile X2 into your camera, and you’re good to go. The card also supports Class 10 speeds, ensuring fast and efficient data transfer.
