Canon WFT-E5B Wireless File Transmitter for EOS 7D

Comments about Canon WFT-E5B Wireless File Transmitter for EOS 7D:

Bought this as to get files from the camera to the computer without cables, for events etc.

Its a fantastic piece of kit once you have it working, the instructions included seem real simple but are practically useless. After 3 months I have still only managed to get connected on my LAN Network ( no internet needed just connects wirelessly to my laptop ). This is what I needed it for so its not a problem. Although I still ended up trawling the internet for a more in-depth set up guide...required a little bit of code to get FTP working on my Macbook..

Very over priced for what it is but I have had no problems once it was setup.

I would recommend buying well before you plan on using it as it could take 2 weeks to set up! seriously!

This is a good piece of Kit the interface is easy to use . I use this in conjunction with a Mitsubishi Click IT 500E and a D Link, this did require a bit of product specific knowledge. I could not use the EOS Utility Function with this equipment so I had to use FTP Transfer Protocol. Luckily I know an IT Guru who helped me set it up . I have used this in the Studio and on an Outside event without any major problems. The Transmitter does eat batteries so you will need a few to keep you going, apart from that nothing to worry about.
