How good is FUJIFILM’s Camera-to-Cloud? A CineD Documentary
CineD tested the Frame.io Camera to Cloud integration on the field.
The video is 17 minutes long but so pleasing to watch, that I strongly invite you to check it out right now.
As for how well it worked, I will only say:
- in a very busy WiFi environments (the NAB show) with thousands of people connecting to all sorts of different WiFi networks, the connections struggles to be stable
- in less busy WiFi environments or if you use your cellphone LTE for the upload, it works flawlessly even in remote locations (they tested it in the Las Vegas desert)
Fujifilm manager Victor Ha, also present in this CineD docu-review, said that he tested the C2C Frame.io integration over many months under all sorts of conditions, and that the one of the NAB show was definitely the most challenging by far.
I can imagine that those, who use it as an instant backup during a wedding or for an on-set video production, hence will not have thousands of people getting access to hundreds of WiFi networks simultaneously, will definitely have a much smoother experience.
In fact, the CineD team is overall positive and says it takes away a lot of the “legwork” now that their team in Argentina, Italy and elsewhere can edit videos immediately and this that this Adobe-Fujifilm cooperation gives us a glimpse into the future.
So it’s not perfect for now, but in a less challenging environment than the NAB show, the system seems to work well.
We remind you that the system only works with the Fujifilm X-H2 and Fujifilm X-H2S when used with the FT-XH file transmitter grip.
