I figured of course, that there would have to be more than just that one version out there, even if it was a very niche product at this point. Too bad for me though, I needed an CF adapter ASAP, and the one from MIC likely wouldn't get to me for a couple of weeks. He has personally used these and even did a review on them. Terry White, who is an Adobe evangalist, and Photoshop guru, was kind enough to tell me about a dedicated compact flash adapter for the iPad, from The MIC Store. And a better one than simply hooking the camera up to the CCK. (oooh suspense!)Īnyway, after finding out that my card reader was not going to work, I looked around for a different solution. However, knowing what I know now, I still would have. Guess I didn't do enough research before getting the CCK, else I might not have purchased it. This also left a lot of people out in the cold, who previously were able to use pretty much any card reader out there. This would ensure that hardly any third party device would be able to access this port.

Unfortunately, after the iPad's 4.2 firmware update, Apple changed the power draw of the 30 pin port from 100mw to a ridiculous 20mw. Increased risk of data corruption without recovery. And if you're still away from a wall socket, this is obviously a problem. Some people might wonder why this would be a problem, when you can simply hook the camera up directly to the CCK's (camera connection kit) USB connector? Well, the answer is three fold:ġ. Sorrrreee! Anyway, the thread was created out of my being frustrated with the iPad camera connection kit, and its inability to be used with a card reader so that I may be able to use a compact flash card. A couple of days ago, I posted a thread Here, which of course now that I look at it, is in the wrong section of the forums.
