OK so a month or so again I wrote a review on the Camfi wi-fi adaptor my kids bought me for Christmas. Now in general I rated it pretty well, but I did note a few Cons against it….
- A bit glitchy with my old Samsung Note 1.0 tablet…….possibly due to the older software on the tablet?
- Occasionally freezes on Sony Smartphone as well, especially if trying to arrange a bracketed shot.
- When freezes sometimes locks the whole camera up.
- I found that sometimes my Home Wi-Fi kicked me off the Camfi…….but that could just be my system and not the camfi?
As it turns out this may not be the Camfi product in itself but a dud that I got. You see mine stopped working altogether a few weeks ago (only used it for a month) and it just died, would not connect via WI-FI to ANY device. I contacted the distributors who asked me try a few things (reset etc) and then to send it back……so it has been duly returned, replaced with another unit and posted back to me. I turned it all on and hooked it up, so far so good. Hopefully this one lasts a little more than one month and is glitch free from now on.
I’ll keep you updated…
