Review: EyeFi Mobi Pro

EyeFi Mobi Pro is a high performance SDHC memory card with a secret feature. Not only does it let you read and write data at blazing fast speeds, it is also WiFi enabled and lets you transfer data right from the SD card to your smartphone or WiFi enabled tablet directly.

If you have a new camera, chances are that your device already offers WiFi connectivity. For older models, however, the EyeFi card is a simple way to extend the capabilities of your camera and make it WiFi enabled with the utmost ease. Instead of some highly technical retrofit of the camera, all you need to do is take out the memory card that is being used currently and swap it with the EyeFi.

The EyeFi offers high data transfer speeds not just when physically connected to the camera, but over WiFi as well. It is fast enough to instantaneously transfer JPEG as well as RAW images from the camera to your device and can even be configured to transfer the images you want from your camera to your smartphone. When you are travelling and the 32 GB camera appears to be nearing its limit, just hit transfer and share some of the load with your iPhone to get almost double the memory space, if not more!

The ability to quickly get more memory space for taking even more photographs is crucial when you like to take a lot of photos. The card also solves the age old problem of having to wait till you have a laptop before you can share a photo from your camera on the internet. Now with the help of the EyeFi Mobi Pro, posting that perfect photo on Instagram is possible right away. Just copy the JPEG from the camera to your phone and upload it seamlessly.

The EyeFi Mobi Pro is a class 10 SDHC camera. This means that you are assured greater speed and reliability, which is crucial when working with high performance cameras. Other features include:

  • Built-in WiFi which is compatible with smartphones
  • WiFi transfer support for JPEG as well as RAW images
  • WiFi transfer support for half a dozen popular video formats
  • Latest WiFi security protocols, coupled with an improved WPA2-PSK support.

The biggest advantage of investing in EyeFi Mobi Pro is the cloud storage that comes with it. Do not have a phone with you for any reason? Or maybe you do not have memory space on the phone? The cloud storage lets you transfer JPEG through an internet enabled WiFi connection directly to the EyeFi Cloud. The cloud storage is free for the first year and makes it incredibly easy to back up all the images to a secure online server.

Setting up EyeFi Mobi Pro to work with your smartphone or computer is really simple as well. You can download a specially designed app for your phone or laptop and directly interact with the image on the memory card.

Using the Mobi Pro card is quite easy. There is no learning curve involved. Data transfer rates are something that it needs to improve on. Otherwise, the overall functionality is quite good.

Price: AED 367 approx.
