4-Up Compact Flash Card Reader Setup
4-UP COMPACT FLASH CARD READER SETUP
The above pic I posted generated a lot of questions as to which specific hardware we use to download 4 Compact Flash cards at once.
First up: why would we even want to download 4 cards at once?
For a lot of reasons which include:
1. Simplicity. Large-capacity CF cards (currently 32GB cards) allow us to pretty much shoot an entire wedding without changing cards. This reduces the handling and potential loss/abuse of the cards.
2. Quin and I shoot with two cameras each. Instead of manually swapping cards to download one by one, sticking all 4 and letting her rip saves precious time and brain-space both of which are often in short supply after a shoot.
So without further adieu, here’s a little video showing all the gory details
You’ll find more info and links to the hardware and software on my Google+ page here.
