In Short, PUB
(Portable USB Box) provides true high speed wireless
connectivity at over 100Mbps, with a
range up to 25-30ft in version 2 and higher, which
is cheaper and faster than major camera manufactures. With it, you can
preview shots within seconds on a large display, as each photo is being
captured.
Supports: Windows XP, Vista, and 7. Currently
there is no Mac OSX
driver/support. It
is possible to run Windows over VMware to have it operate on a Mac
OSX.
Update:
PUB 2.5 is here. The battery enclosure can now
be clipped off the photographer's hip or placed in their
pocket. It features a selected connector that will pull apart under
light force. This reduces (but does not eliminate) potential damage and
risk if an accident should occur, where one end is yanked from the
other. Also, it allows for quick manual disconnect with the battery
box. (Updated on April 18, 2011)
Update: There
are still questions regarding integration into a sleeker design, such
as in a battery grip. Again, the answer is: by doing so it will impact
antenna performance, which in turns degrades range and speed. Thus, PUB
2+ does not use this design approach. (Updated Nov 27, 2011)
Update:
Unfortunately, the full kit -- ready to run, is not available for
purchase anymore due to resource constraints. Resources have been
redirected to another project working with robotics. This does not mean
the end, but it is a temporarily pause. Please wait for mid-Feb for
next update. Happy Holidays! (Updated Dec 25, 2011)
