Yep, laptop or external drive. Will need stuff anyway as the camera probably doesn't have USB host and the WFT does.

We will somehow have to make it work without the WFT adapter, that thing costs $700 , I cant really figure out what kind of electronic magic the WFT has in order to pull data off the Camera and then send it to the USB Host controller.

Anyway, I would think that as in many tablets the 6D has a "hidden" Usb Host built-in to the mini usb port  just like the Nexus 7.

The question is, if we can send Every second frame out via the USB port, we will just need something with a USB host to wait and catch that Data (like a Laptop..)   

Any chance we could use USB port to plug a USB CF card reader ?


I already know the answer.
Damn those cams doesn't run linux inside !!!
We could mount anything on this USB port !

The WFT adapter (WFT-E7 i.e)  has a USB Host (and Gigabit lan..)  But the maximum Speed will be limited to 480Mbits  (60MByte/s)  (Theoretically)

So yes, you can connect a SSD Raid if you really want but it wont be any faster than a fast SD Card.. (USB Bottleneck)

*WIFI - if buffer sizes + write speeds are high enough
*WFT like USB disk through USB port or the grip.
*Opening camera and finding where the CF card connection is and if there is one on the 6D board (might as well install the headphone jack while you're in there)

I Like the Grip Idea,  totally forgot about that, is there any documentation on the Pins/controller?

I don´t think Wifi will work we will really only see 240 Mbit/s (if that)  and the WTF adapters uses the USB 2.0 Port (480Mbits)  , maybe we can ghetto-Raid  the SD and the USB card and then Merge the files , best solution I am seeing right now

One more thing: I Have really nasty pink/Green spots when filming in ISO 25600

Also: I can confirm that with the latest Autoexec.bin  I am seeing Frame drops way more early than I did with the previous version

So, has anyone ever taken their camera apart so that we actually know what kind of SD controller is being used? if the controller has a maximum of 50MB/s , we have a known limit and know where we can go from here.

If the Controller is in fact better but SD cards are not up to speed yet, we can maybe hardware hack an SD card--> SSD (or CF) Adapter, the controller should be able to handle that, I am looking into how Sd cards work  but I should be able to run wires from a "blank" Sd Card to direct Sata Pins or IDE.... if there are CF->SD adapters, making it work the other way SHOULD be possible, maybe we need external power to run the CF but that should be the least problem...

UHS-1 Specs:    50 Mbyte/s (SDR50, DDR50)
                        104 Mbyte/s (SDR104)

if its a SDR104, we can make 1080p work Theoretically

If that does not work, another idea is to externally Raid0 SD cards

And then there is also the HDMI port, which is by far the fastest port we can use, I have all kinds of testing equipment for that stuff at hand, so if you can somehow get the raw signal out the HDMI port, I can probably build something to receive it.
