Be a Rapid Remote Reporter

I was sent a few things to check out: the Eye-Fi card and the Novatel Mifi card. Together, you can use these tools to take a photo or video and then upload it to the web without ever touching your computer. In fact, you can do it from the floor of a conference, from the scene of breaking news, or wherever you might want to get the scoop on other photographers and reporters. Here’s the quick video.

I think it’s a neat setup, if you want a fast way to get information out to the web fast.

The Mifi device alone is worth it. If you’re debating whether to buy a 3G card for your laptop, consider a Mifi, as it will let you connect up to five devices wirelessly to the Internet. I love the heck out of that option because it means not only can I get my laptop online, but if my phone is in a bad coverage area, I can switch over to wifi.

What do you think?

People always ask which camera I used to shoot my video. I use the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3 (that’s a review of the camera).
